Echo News Southend United condemns racial abuse sent to Oldham player after Wembley final

Clearly I was lucky with where I drank/sat as everyone I saw and spoke to was just having a good time and a sing song. Saw no aggro at all, all day. Even afterwards the Southend fans I spoke to were just disappointed, not being arseholes.

If you've got a problem with someone, grow some balls and address it. Don't mob up with a load of other self-righteous nobs to take someone down online.

The thing is not everyone may be as up for it as you suggest. You obviously don't agree with the majority of the comments on here, ok that's your view. but just because the poster made a general comment he doesn't deserve a swipe for his trouble.

If you're outraged, and if you feel someone has crossed a line in front of your wife and kids, it is your job as a man to address it there and then.

I don't necessarily disagree with you on that, and in the past I've done exactly that, as has Mrs RHB. She's better at it than me as we've had 3 kids and she is not to be messed with. BUT, I'm 73 now and walk with a crutch, and I'm not much good at backing up my words any more. So my point is that not everyone is in a position to react in the way you say.

And on that note, I think we’ve had enough of this thread. Hopefully the club/authorities can identify and punish the person responsible, and if they do then we’ll reopen it.
