Now, if someone could give me the official transcript of what Gibbs said, then I can make a decision as to whether the ban was justified. I've heard about 5 or 6 different views on what he said which veer from comical to racist! I can't decide if the ban was justified until I know what he actually said!
I agree Andy I was just telling Zainub that after Inzi attacked a fan, we didnt say that the whole of Pakistan are violent "lunatics".

Anyway, Gibbs basically called the fans "bloody animals". That is confirmed, there are other statements but they differ from website to website. Some other statements include "Hyennas from a zoo" and "f***ing Pakistanis"

Like I pointed out on the previous thread, those fans are probably South Africans of Pakistani descent.

What is your "neutral" view.
