To my mind the team has to come to the media with what was actually said now, if they don't it's all just going to divulge into a game of he said she said.

Now of course most of us here believe the team when they say there was racist abuse but no one else is under any obligation to believe. If nothing comes to light it will just end up being a nothing event that's forgotten about except by kiwis that like to think we've done something special.
Disagree. Sharing the content now would fuel the gossip as then people would interpret/reinterpret about whether it was racists or not. I find the fascination on knowing the exact wording a distraction from the fact that it was said. We've made our first move to support our player, our next should be working with the FIFA anti-racism task force to get an outcome.
