What a stupid thing to say about skin color, the only reason Bailey gets the stick because he's a cowardly thug, but as soon as i seen it i said red card for Radford, but then also Bailey should of been yellow carded for repeatly elbowing.

I would expect Radford to get a decent ban for what he did, i would expect between 3 - 5 games and bailey to get between 1- 3

No preconceived ideas clouding your judgment there then!

Hope you never get called up for jury service

I might be wrong, but I have to say that I don't think race is an issue at all (even based on your clarification).

Bailey clearly isn't popular around here (except with Leeds fans) and as a result there seems to be a lot of attempting to justify Radford's stupidity.

But does anyone else get the feeling that if the roles were reversed everyone on here would be saying how it was a well deserved red-card for a cheap-shot/sh*t-house/cowardly attack on the man on the floor...

...in fact if we're being brutally honest, perhaps if Radford was black and Bailey white a lot of those sticking up for Radford might have very different opinions...

Its nothing to do with race, Radford deserved to be sent off but Bailey should have also gone off.

Racism isn't an issue, not like it may of been a few years back.
That's why i do not think it's a issue

What a rubbish thread. Lock it.I think Cockayne's a nob aswell as Bailey, does that mean I'm racist to whites?

Everyone hates Bailey because he's scum of the earth, black or white the way he acts is what makes him that not his color.

He does tend to polarise opinions.

Yes, people don't like Bailey because he's black. Seriously!

I wonder if Burrow had connected any of his punches with Lauaki, would he have been sent off as well? Doubt it.

Never a truer word spoken. Bailey is talentless and strolled around being a thug for his entire career. Nothing to do with his colour at all. Anyone outside of Leeds would say the same. He is a thug and crap. And he would be the sam if he was white. And as for the incident... instigated by bailey but radford reacted poorly. Sin bin for bailey, red for radford would have been just

You know best. Tony Smith and Brian McClennan obviously clueless then, selecting Bailey in their sides on well over 100 occasions
