Les Ferdinand interview: I’ve suffered racist abuse from QPR fans

[qpr]

I hate Les but that racism wasn’t me

Les out

[davieqpr]

Says it but doesn't give one example of racial abuse from QPR supporters. So nowdays if you criticise players like Eze or BOS you are going to be called out as racist? Yes it does exist in society and is a bad thing but stop using it as an excuse to deflect poor performance.

[FurtiveFox]

I'm sure there are racist incidents/comments at every club so wouldn't read too much into that. Overall he comes across as sensible and difficult to disagree on most of what he says. We are where we are and have to learn from the past and crack on. Hindsight a wonderful thing and all that.

Who's used racism as an excuse to deflect poor performance? I haven't seen anyone do that anywhere?

[QPRDave]

Very wrong for any fan to racially abuse anyone.
But for any Rs to do this to our own, our legendary striker, is unthinkable, unbelievable in fact.
But racism cannot and must not be used as a shield for criticism.
And that is creeping into this country right now.
I refer to the Harry and Meghan situation recently.
Les I think is doing a good job btw, when you see our first team list.
The club are returning to the way it was, producing young talented footballers.

Bakes and Stains, I can't believe any true Ranger would stoop to this.
As I'm sure you two can't either.

[SheepRanger]

And that goes for Welsh blokes being called sheep staggers!

[QPRDave]

I notice on another note in the interview, Les says we should be competitive in two seasons time.

This is what he says.....


“I don’t think we are too far away from being able to compete,” he said. “There is light at the end of the tunnel. The chief executive Lee Hoos and finance director Ruban Ghandi have tightened the purse strings and we have to fit in around that. Hopefully, in a year or two’s time, we can be competitive again.

In light of this Dave and other posters on here have any of you not abused opposition players in a racial or any other sort of manner in the heat of the moment?

I certainly would not abuse our own white black or whatever well except maybe John Curtis,but in the heat of the moment I have opposition players.
