West Brom: Referee Moments and Situation I

west brom: Absolutely gutted and in disbelief at the situation I find myself in, he wrote on Twitter, according to The Chronicle Herald. Rodriguez was seen pinching his nose and saying something to Brighton defender Gaetan Bong, who is black, after an on-field confrontation during the Jan. 13 game at The Hawthorns. The England international, who faces a five-game ban if found guilty, denies the charge. Bong, a former Cameroon international, alerted the referee moments later. West Brom said it remained fully supportive of Rodriguez, with director Richard Garlick adding the club is committed to backing Jay throughout this process. The FA said Rodriguez is alleged to have used abusive and/or insulting words which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
