Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City are shocked and saddened by the racist gesture from the stands reported by Sky Blues player Kasey Palmer during today’s game at Hillsborough. Both clubs roundly condemn any form of discrimination and abuse, and underline that there is no place for this kind of behaviour in football or our wider society. We will work together with the relevant authorities and anyone proven to be culpable will face the strictest possible sanctions from both Sheffield Wednesday and the law. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Coventry City and the football world in stamping out this abhorrent and wholly unacceptable behaviour. SWFC Chairman Dejphon Chansiri said: “We absolutely condemn the abuse reported by Kasey Palmer today and stand together with Coventry City in our clear stance that there is no place in football or society for such appalling behaviour.” #swfc
@swfc How about Bannan telling Palmer to get on with it? Clearly you can see palmer animated and rightly so, explaining what’s happened . This is the same player that sided with David Goodwillie too!
@swfc Sky Sports have since released footage showing what happened - fanbanter.co.uk/sheffield-wedn…
You need to find those fans, ban them for life and report them to the police. After that the manager needs to get Barry Banham in the office and give him a firm dressing down for telling him to get on with the corner showing no empathy for what he was subjected too whatsoever. What Banham should have done is go to the fans and tell them to pipe down.
@swfc Good statement, what happened today has no place in football.
@swfc club has more class than half the fans at least
@swfc No place for this in football. Kasey Palmer also need investigating for incitement.
@swfc IF there was anyone being racist towards him they should never step foot in ground & get whatever police throw at them. I say if because nothing has been proven. And if it didn't happen as some are saying Palmer should be banned from football for life No place for either action
@swfc Letting them bring 4000 plus when we don’t get hardly any for away games so when we’re relegated it’s all on him, doesn’t care about our fans it’s always our fault 😡😡
@swfc But … but…. He was winding us up. Blah blah blah, grow up and get a pair. Find the culprit and give him a lifelong ban. Kasey the good fans of SWFC stand with u 🦉💙
