No issue with Zebo here, apart from his opinion of elderly! Something unacceptable was clearly said.
What is irritating is people trying to self promote on social media by saying “I know what was said, it was awful, I heard it all” without saying what was actually said.” Typical twitter nonsense trying to attract followers, and that’s exactly what that lambrini girl was up to.
If you know what was said then share, otherwise shut your gob and stop trying to attract attention to yourself.
And you should have done something about it at the time, that’s what eventsec are there for, and should the story have been ‘Spectator thrown out of Ravenhilll for racist abuse’ been the headline then Ulster would have been painted in a positive light instead of this nonsense.

Maybe not bizarre but still weird IMHO...
IMHO that interview leaves more questions than answers.. We now seemingly have two quite separate incidents one involving a 40+ year who whispered something in his ear and another shouted from the terrace. Am I alone in thinking that it is far from clear what if anything was heard from the terrace by the player or was it only after 'some supporters' contacted him in private (presumably on social-media) that he first learnt of the detail if any.
The timeline to this whole incident would be very interesting to study. Who said what to whom, where and when did it all happen and finally when did anyone report it to anyone? From what I understand no reports where made to the match officials or indeed to UR at anytime prior to the social-media posting.
Quite why any player would allow a 40+ old supporter to come up and whisper 'racist' comments in his ear then seemingly ignore it and do nothing is beyond me. Again the timeline factor would be an interesting study here.. was it before the game as the players arrived or on leaving after the game. Less likely during the game that a supporter could get the chance to whisper anything in a players ear.
Of course that was a TV interview one which he was also aware what was coming having discussed that same issue with the interviewer in advance yet I would love to hear his response to a tougher line of questioning..

Maybe he doesn’t feel particularly comfortable talking about any episodes if racism he has experienced in life. He would hardly be the first person to feel uncomfortable when talking about personal racism they have experienced. Or maybe he made up those stories about what he experienced in his younger days too....

My tame psychologist and I are in agreement. Basically there is no reason to believe he wasn't being truthful. Psychologist said he was uncomfortable at times and was trying really hard to be relaxed, but that might have an attempt to put forward a cool, popular persona. I was only struck by his use of "whispered" which the interviewer seemed to lead him on to contradict later in the interview. Zebo didn't make a good job of correcting himself. But that is all. If the peelers asked me for an opinion, Zebo would have got a fair report.
