Jim Smith 2,314 Posted May 31, 2011 [quote user="Bethnal Yellow and Green"]If Norwich have banned a player due to comments made on Twitter that is a massive step - seems very unlikely to me, interesting to see how this plays out. Mark Bright writes for The Metro, so if he talks about this in there will be interesting to see his thoughts. Doubt the account is hacked, would have been shut down by now, or at least people like Robbie Savage would be mentioning it. Think Mark Bright is just having a laugh to be honest, it''s not like he has said anything that shocking or insulting is it?[/quote] Its a fan not a player.I don''t think Bright''s account has been hacked he just a bit of a tw*t.

Something else on my mind obviously. Would still be a massive step to ban a fan for comments on Twitter (larger than banning a player in fact) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shocking.[/quote] Seriously? The club have banned the kid who started is all off?[/quote] I don''t see how the club can ban a name on twitter, do they know who this kid is? [/quote]Well, they have a name, and after Googling it, I found his email address and phone number without too much difficulty. It is quite scary how easy it is to get this information on people nowadays.[/quote] But is it really him? I have had my account hacked on Twitter when it first started and to be honest I have now been extra vigilant and sought all the protection Twitter allows.

The Young One 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Mark Bright is also out of order and I feel offended by some of his remarks, I know footballers sometimes aren''t the brightest of sparks but to use offensive language is someone going way to far and needs to be reported. They should act as role models, what a pra tt > Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted May 31, 2011 If Norwich are going to start banning fans for racist comments on the internet than some of the posters on this message board should start to worry. Although I have a feeling most of the serial offenders don''t actually go to the games, so pretty hard to ban them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Two penneth 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Just on 5Live news, Norwich city ban a fan for life after making racist comments about new signing James Vaughan on Twitter. Just the sort of publicity we can do without, particularly as the profile has been raised somewhat with Premier League status. If true, what an idiot.

blahblahblah 2 Posted May 31, 2011 Interesting precedent this if true.While what the person in question said was extremely stupid, if he had said what he did to someone who isn''t on the telly, then I would suggest that he would not have been banned.

Morisons Prozac 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Was on Twitter. Comment was deleted but I think it was something about him saying he was proud that Norwich had a prodominantly (sp?) white british team. He is basically an attention seeking piece of sh!t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Holt is a Monster 0 Posted May 31, 2011 Well done to the club for banning the "fan" quickly and without fuss. Job sorted from our point of view.Mark Bright''s continuing descent into madness is now the much bigger story. It''s the closest he''s ever going to get to being Charlie Sheen. Or interesting.

Unfortunately, I have heard Norwich fans make racist comments in the stands in the past few years (I doubt any more or less than at any English club), and it has made me temporarily ashamed to be a Norwich fan myself.

e10_yellow 0 Posted May 31, 2011 He didn''t say it to Mark Bright. He tweeted it to a friend and it was picked up on by a lot of appalled Norwich fans, who alerted McNally etc on Friday. At some point in the last couple of days Mark Bright became aware of it and has gone off on one, but it wasn''t him who first condemned it.Got to commend the club for their swift no tolerance action. Bet the little idiot feels stupid now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted May 31, 2011 Comment was much worse than that, he said that Norwich "didn''t need another f---ing n----r" he then later went on to say there is no such thing as black British people. He is a complete tool, but the precident of banning a fan for comments on Twitter is a fairly startling one. I guess the club wanted to nip it in the bud pretty quickly - espcially when it seems Mark Bright is going to write a piece in the Metro about it all. P.S. I''m sure it will be mentioned but there is already a 5 page thread about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptnCanary 0 Posted May 31, 2011 I''d be surprised if the club was able to obtain his personal details in order to implement a ban. It recently cost a local council £75k taking Twitter to court in California in order to obtain the real name behind a Twitter account. Would our club really want to spend that kind of money on this? Or does Twitter make exceptions to disclose details of racists? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bury Green 0 Posted May 31, 2011 What a nimrod, excuse my ignorance as I don’t use Twitter and don’t intend to start. How can the club correlate a posting on Twitter to a genuine signed up NCFC member, surely it must take quite awhile to go through Twitter HQ etc as seems to have been the case in other well publicised cases?Now what about our Simeon, Jamaican born I think, raised in Canada and pretty much scored the goals that got us promoted, in the mind of the offending idiot I suppose his contribution to our promotion didn’t count?As mentioned absolutely no place for that sort of cretin or the mindset that goes with it.

GreennYella 0 Posted May 31, 2011 The BBC should have a serious word with Bright. He''s been completely out of order towards Norwich fans with some of his comments. Made himself look about as much as an idiot as the racist fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
