I wanted India to win today. I can't abide the way the West Indian players carry on, on and off the pitch.
Used to love the Windies.

It's their supporters that annoy me. There's two sides: the internet fan and the match going fan
The internet fan is too proud if anything and go to an extreme to show their support which makes for laughable reading. They're so easy to fall for the bait.
Then in person, when the team are down.......SILENCE

First of all, the judgement clearly said that even if Harbhajan used the words he was alleged to have used, it could not have been considered to have been said in a racist context. And yes, it looked like they had a plan just to get him to utter that word and get him banned and get into the teams' head and it backfired spectacularly. To state utterly contrived and false opinion of yours as fact is the most ****ed up argument you have posted.

TBH, its the Mumbai crowd that is the worst at it. Some other crowds around the country, you will see some cheers for opposition as well as acknowledgement for their milestones. But this is a problem in the IPL age. Earlier our crowds were much better, even at Mumbai. At times you just have to applaud the opposition for playing better cricket than you. Windies look a much better T20 side than India for conditions like Mumbai and Bangalore and they proved it today. End of story. Its no shame to have at least made it to the top 4 of this tournament. We had no business being here after the way we played against Bangladesh.

Would like to see England or Australian fans doing that after their team has lost a close Ashes Test at home.

Or we can throw glass bottles inches over the opposition captains' head like the West Indian crowds...

Here's the judgement: http://www.theage.com.au/ed_docs/hansen.pdf
And he'd be wrong if he did say that. What the hell is a "racist context"?

One of those bullshit concepts that HB makes up as a means of defending his bullshit opinions.

The only BS here is what you post...
And its no wonder u find my posts to be bullshit, you seem to treat all facts that dont aid your biases that way.

From, the link you posted:
[57] Given that is the view of the complainant it is hard to see how the requisiteelements of 3.3 could be satisfied. However, given it is an objective interpretationthat is not the end of the matter. I must consider if the “ordinary person” would havebeen offended in a 3.3 sense. That again requires a look at context. Mr Singh hadinnocently, and in the tradition, of the game acknowledged the quality of Mr Lee’sbowling. That interchange had nothing to do with Mr Symonds but he determined toget involved and as a result was abusive towards Mr Singh. Mr Singh was, notsurprisingly, abusive back. He accepts that his language was such as to be offensiveunder 2.8. But in my view even if he had used the words “alleged” an “ordinaryperson” standing in the shoes of Mr Symonds who had launched an unprovoked andunnecessary invective laden attack would not be offended or insulted or humiliatedin terms of 3.3.[58] So on that alternative basis I would also have been satisfied
Of course, SS knows better than a judge accepted by both parties to resolve the dispute...

There was no dispute by the time of the hearing. An agreement had been reached as to the downgrading of the charge. The judge, grandstanding as judges are sometimes wont to do, then decided to run a full hearing on the issue of the initial charge. It was bizarre from him. Like someone agreeing to cop a plea to manslaughter but the judge insisting on running a murder trial even though he doesn't have to decide a murder charge.

lol says the guy suggesting Obnoxious Weed Singh isn't a racist.

Ergo, my speculation that it was set up to get him banned by the Aussie team and it just backfired. Look, none of them (from both teams) came out of that smelling like roses, not even Sachin, the one whose name shall never be spoken ill of. Its just annoying that people like SS still bring it up as a reason to blindly state Harbhajan was racist, as if it was something that happened in a vaccuum.

Did you not read the judgement? Or as usual, boycotting facts that prove that your biased opinions are bullshit?

For a guy who likes to throw around the word "facts" a lot, you do an awful lot of speculation.

Well, at least I call it that when I do speculate. And of course, given that none of us know the complete details of this or any other cricket issue/controversy, all we ever do is speculate. I am just being honest enough to state it so.
