It's your [SwearFilter] disgrace of a manager who went on TV saying he heard racist chanting, Brown said he heard it yet they were apparently the only TWO people in the ground that heard "it"
Think about it, the police never heard anything, the supporters never heard anything, your supporters at the ground never heard anything, the stewards never heard anything, as far as I know your BoD's never heard anything....1500 people never heard anything!!! but King still felt the need to go public with it.

When these allegations are found to be "lies" or not monkey chant's but chants of "cheat, cheat, cheat" (which BTW your captain & a fair portion of your team are) will your stupid, manager or cheating, hearing challenged captain then go back on TV & apologise to us & our club? No of course not, so "nobody wins" but we will be remembered as the club who racially abused your captain on the say so of TWO people.

It's wrong, totally wrong & if the allegations are proved unfounded the FA should be able to take action against the two [SwearFilter] half wits from your club who started this whole thing off.

Racism is a horrible thing & shouldn't be tolerated but there has to be a correct way of doing things & King's & Browns wasn't it.

I used to really enjoy my trips to Macc years ago when we ran coaches there every season & never once found their supporters anything other than very friendly but if this is what happens after a spell in the league being a "big club" give me BSP all the time.

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Barrowaberdeen, I think most of that is fair enough. There has to be a better process for reporting this. I detested it how Chelsea went public with clattenberg and can't see how this is much different. Although I can understand why they want to go public if they believe its true. They must be pretty angry and the lumbering FA system won't hold out much hope of catching any culprits if its one word against another.

To be fair although no fans have admitted hearing it. Some have said it is possible that things were shouted and it is possible that fans don't want to get their club in trouble. Also I heard the video of the alleged monkey chants and i personally believe it is possible that's what they were doing (this may just be club bias though) although you surely have to admit it at least could be misconstrued for it.

I also think there's a big step between some (alleged from the opposing team) play acting and serious allegations like these. And the idea he used it to cover up a bad performance is odd because trust me he's played a lot worse and nobody at the club has ever made allegations like this.

Oh and I'd never heard of Jaffa Cake either but I googled it ad there's a history of it being used apparently.

Really?? I just googled it too and this thread came up as 3rd top! Hardly widespread use of the term, still I suppose you can choose to view anything in any way you want if thats what you're looking for....

I can understand why, from the clip, people might think that. I can also understand why, given that most of the Macclesfield fans weren't there, and the initial allegations, why two and two become five. I can, and do however, refute utterly that it happened, and anyone in the ground would too. Come on, in this day and age, monkey noises in a BSP ground, without anyone coming on here to condemn it! It just didn't happen.

I can also understand why you've backed up your captain too, but I do wonder why no-one, no-one in the whole area, heard it, including a mass of stewards and local police- are all complicit in a racist conspiracy? Give over.

I think for now, let's wait for the results of any enquiry into either game.

lets be honest here ladies you will defend your club we will defend ours, no1 truly knows what was or wasn't said we let the fa deal with it, there is no proof either way so lets just move on from it, All that matters is what happens on the pitch and we gave you one hell of a beating, ive seen you twice now and you are still the worst team ive seen this season that's why your bottom and you wont survive and on your crowds your only going one way that's further down the leagues. with the exception of almond who has a few step overs and quick feet you have no flair or class just a team of scrappers who cant play football. Owen one of the worst footballers I have seen horrible little man who just throws himself into tackles no range of passing or skill, hunter used to be good just a bypasser now, baker has a good shot on him nothing else thinks hes better than he is. You need a big commanding centre half hessey gives his all but very limited all he does is scrap and hoof long diaganals, pearson to small and limited, skelton looks decent tho had jack in his pocket three times this season, as for mconville ever since he left Accrington for the money at county he has clearly lost his passion terrible. Boyes decent targetman but journyman lower league footballer never gonna get more than 12 goals a season. Im afraid its gonna be a long hard season for you guys cnt wait for the 29th class will prevail cream always rises to the top. we no we are a small town with a small fan base but we don't really care we don't pretend to be a big club as we are not the conference is our level but WE WILL ALWAYS BE BIGER THAN BARROW!

Thank you for assessing our own team for us, who have watched them many more times than you this season. We admit, we are a poor team, we are probably going down. However, how can you excuse 1200 home fans for an FA Cup 2nd round game, and come and here and state you will always be "biger" (I know you mean bigger) than us? I'll give you 3 years before your club no longer exists. We'll have the last laugh, sunshine.

You come on here earlier with your attempt at being fair & giving your honest opinion then this, that post shows what an utter [SwearFilter] idiot you are & from what I've seen of your forum you slot in well with the rest of them.

we have no excise except for the fact everyone in our town supports man city, man utd, Liverpool, stoke, how many big clubs do you have near you??? 1200 fans is about right for us so we make no excuses that is our following small but loyal like I say we make no claim to be a big club so dnt no why some of you think we r pretending we r. we do our talking on the pitch and we talked 4 more times than you did yesterday. 4.1 say no more. And we wont go bust thanks to ur team rolling over and giving us that £27.500 prize money plus it will be a 6 thousand sell out next sat so thanks for the easy money. We are a well run club who made over a million last season in player sales, sean brisley to peterbrough £500,000 emile Sinclair to peterbrough £250,000 and tyrone Barnett crawley for £150,00 plus a 20% sel on fee when he went to peterbrough for £1.1 million not to mention getting a 3rd round replay against Bolton tv money twice espn and bbc so don't you worry about our finances, we didn't spend a penny on transfers in the summer every player was a free transfer so you just worry about avoiding relegation.

Then why boast about how you're a bigger club? To be honest, you're even a small club in this league, pal.

Yeah, and how much of that money is Steve King [SwearFilter] up the wall? Your board must be absolutely clueless to have appointed him. His track record speaks for itself - ruined Lewes, Northwich and tried it with Farnborough. We all know what's going to happen, you just keep your tinted glasses on and wait until we say "told you so". Enjoy your cup final on Saturday.

From the evening mail: Mr Harris (chief exec at Macc) said: "We are very disappointed that this has overshadowed an excellent performance on the pitch, but we remain staunchly opposed to all forms of racism, which we believe has no place in football, or indeed anywhere.


Why then Mr Harris do you allow an EDL flag to be displayed in your stadium?
