Firstly, these are no accusations from my side, just saying what I have seen on Twitter.

Apparently Thomas was racial abused during yesterday's match from the pontoon when he dropped the ball when losing instead of throwing the ball back to the goalkeeper, hope these claims are incorrect, but if they are, I hope the person is named and shamed and never watches a football match again.

Toto has also retweeted this.

Probably that horrid woman who was racist to him last time.

Wouldn't surprise me,they need a lifetime ban and a knock from the police if true. Hopefully it is just bullshit though.

I think all fans have a responsibility to report people to help stamp out these vile comments

yes i saw this on twitter, and i saw toto's response to it; if proved correct i hope the piece of filth gets banned from every game in the land for life

Completely agree

absolutley  totaly wrong if true. hope they get grassed up if its true

If true then ban them from every sport venue in the country. Fine them a couple of grand and put them in prison for a year or two. I really hope they make an example of them to show the consequences of being a racist. Disgusting behaviour and looks awful on the club. Anyone who hears racist abuse aimed at a  human should report it straight away. Absolute scum.

Racist abuse is racist abuse if aimed at anyone not just footballers

Changed. I was just using it with this example (if it is true). Can someone link me the tweet or aswads twitter account?

People were giving him abuse when he left the ball in the corner right at the end and didn't give it to the keeper. Most of those idiots obviously didn't realise that his responsibility is to return to his position. What would they have done if he had and the keeper had played the ball into area that he should have been? Potentially leading to a goal. Some town fans obviously haven't been blessed with a brain.

Time to stand up and be counted then.....hundreds of people in the pontoon....if Aswad heard something then onlookers must have also.....
there were also two ball boys in the vacinity and i would guess stewards also.....if it was said then there must be witnesses.

That's abysmal :( I really hope if someone saw / heard who it was, reports them. Racial abuse of ANY players makes me sick to my stomach regardless of their team, but to do it to your own players is beyond comprehension :(

To be fair the amount of time the keeper was taking over kicks he would have had plenty of time to get back in position, he just handed the keeper an excuse to waste even more time which was a bit stupid in my opinion but I don't condone anyone racially abusing him.

That's not Aswad's job to deal with that it's the referee (which he didn't). Ball boys also should be fulfilling their requirement properly which too often they don't. Not sure whose remit it is in terms of organising ball boys but more often than not they're far too young and can barely throw a football. Too often our players are farting around trying to retrieve balls that have gone out of play and miss opportunities to catch the opposition on the back foot.

I thought he was a bit dopy leaving the ball there, then again I thought his defending for most of the game was dopy.

On a lighter note,

Can anybody remember the ballboy caught on camera a few years ago, ?

He was sat on his stool in front of the Ponny,

A hard shot went wide of the goal and straight at him,

He just headed it back to the keeper without moving from his stool.

Really cool. 8)

I'm no lefty wallflower but can only think that once is bad , twice is an utter embarrassment that town fans can abuse one of our own like this . It really does show what a bunch of backward people inhabit the region . I wouldn't blame him if he slapped in a transfer request in the morning and said he'd only play in away games

Remember it's an extreme minority, they certainly need stamping out though.

name and shame if you know this piece of scum...  if you know , and don't... you're just the same :-/

That's quite a comment to make on a public forum when you have no proof whatsoever.

She got a 3 year ban too (so it can't have been).

totally not needed. I can remember the abuse Tony Ford got, not just a single person shouting but groups making monkey noises. I had hoped these days had gone.  :(

@Ansiala36 @RobCBartlett what stand? I was in the upper right in the pontoon and didn't hear owt?

We must all stand together on this,

Anybody who sees and hears abuse should report the idiot to the stewards.

Well, in my opinion, shouting racist abuse toward another human does, in turn, make you pretty horrible.

I'm sure others will see it differently...

I wouldn't disagree with the above point but that doesn't give you carte blanche to just accuse her of anything you wish to without any evidence to support you.

I wasn't making any reference to the comment shouted but to the fact you are accusing someone without any proof, that could well be a libellous comment.
