John Burns, alleged racial abuse Friday night.

Haven't gone through all of this thread, so forgive me if I'm re going over what's been said. I'm not sure anyone can be certain what was or wasn't said, or that the truth will come out. Certainly the media will massage it beyond recognition. However, IF Burns did refer to Houli as a terrorist, even if he said for a laugh that his beard made him look like a terrorist, he is a fool. I do not believe a conversation had in public within earshot of others is a private conversation. Private means only the recipient/s hear it. It has been reported it was made sitting behind a couple of children, which imo would make him worse than a fool. It's not being PC or do-gooder to out this alleged comment as vilification, it's just the right thing to do. If it was said and overheard, it is vilification and offensive.

I am not a hacker and have no way of accessing his metadata, but can anyone here categorically assure me that Houli is not in fact a terrorist?

Hahaha - Bachar is one of the nicest blokes you would ever met, quietly spoken and takes his role as a "role model" very seriously. He categorically has not got a bad thought going thru his body. He is a family man, loving caring person and a credit to his religious beliefs. Great team man and very well loved at the Tigers. And a Tiger is the only T word I would use to ever describe him. Just for the record I've chatted with him twice at Richmond functions.

Or should that be Dr Whom?

I was trying for a Graham Gaunt effect, but Who will do.

I had to search that one, I do not remember him, and he played for us for 5 years, they were not memorable years.

Ex-Demonology members will remember him. Troll of trolls.

A real factor here is that Burns was not sitting anonymously in a seat with a mate, he was a guest at a Richmond function. You don't talk about Richmond players like that even as a joke. It's not criminal, but extremely discourteous. He should have apologised without reservation.

I think this has dragged on long enough and everybody has had their say.
