Nothing shocks me with their fans. https://www.lutontown.co.uk/news/2023/december/sheffield-united-statement/
Hard to imagine Morris making it up. Pretty sure something was said. But regarding the OP we have some fans who are just as bad
How do they follow up something like this? Big crowd, hard to find witnesses. Is it tele surveillance? Not condoning it btw.
I guess it's that, and checking whether they have booking information for who should be in the seat where the accused was sat. I'd hope as well that if anyone around them heard the abuse, they'd also come forward with information. Of course, trying to find the culprit could be pissing in the wind, but it's better than ignoring it.
Statement reads to me as if they identified the culprit instantly. One good thing that Sky/greed league is TV cameras will cover every inch of the pitch and stands.
I don't believe Carlton Morris is a liar, or mistaken. Sadly, as you rightly say, Dave, we have a number of these scumbags amongst our own support. That being said, it should not adversely affect anyone for calling out racism, whether that be at our club, or anyone else's.
