If his actions are in breach of any terms of his club contract he should receive the respective and appropriate punishment deemed necessary.

If that’s getting the Ruud Guillit then he’s only got himself to blame and no one else.

He’s bang out of order in my opinion and not above punishment because he’s a pro footballer or a daft laddie.

This for me too. He had a massive let off with the drink driving thing. He should go for this imho. Maybe him getting the sack will also act as a shot across the bows of the half-wit who shared it. Although judging by her Instagram page, she's permanently blacked-up so maybe not.

Find it curious that some supporters are getting more angry at this than they were about him allegedly drinking alcohol behind the wheel.

Now that was a sackable offence.

Agree on the drink-driving stuff. Putting folks lives at risk is obviously as bad as it gets.

The fact that he’s got two nasty incidents like this in the space of a year shows you he’s an absolute idiot of a boy who’s never gonna buck up his ideas. The club needs to have a serious think about the people who take on the responsibility of representing the badge.

His antics with this after his previous incident with the drink behind the wheel is completely unacceptable and this time a very hard line should be took and he should be sacked as this damages the club's name and reputation.

After incidents of a racial nature in the last week or so at Hampden the League Cup Final, Chelsea and Hearts, he can have no grounds for complaint if he finds his employment is to be terminated and he is no longer welcome in the ground again permanently.

A harsh zero tolerance approach should be taken.

WTF have incidents at the league cup final, Chelsea and Hearts got to do with Jamie Robson or United for that matter?

These have no bearing on how United should deal with this whatsoever.

Complete over reaction and daft comparisons all over the place. I'm actually embarrased by some of the fake outrage.

Get a fuckin grip.

Rick Dagless · 10/12/2018 12:19 am

Does seem to be a lot of fake outrage about this. Is blacking up deemed offensive? Yes. Does it offend me? No(I'm not black)

However what's not in doubt is that he's a fucking idiot who never seems to learn.

Mibbies right enough regarding him being an idiot. Think someone else put this out.
Who the fuck was squeeky clean PC wise at that age?

I took racial abuse growing up. Maist of us took all sorts of abuse growing up. Get on with yer life. Let it make you stronger and be able to laugh off and return a better line in response.

Can any of you outraged folk honestly say you have never been abusive?

The fitba culture we know needs regulated against being full on arsehole style thesedays but this thread has gone full on hypocritical.

japanarab · 10/12/2018 12:50 am

There's no way he's being racist. Ignorant and thick as pigshit maybe. Gotta remember these youngsters have probably got next to zero brain cells having left school early as fuck and hold social media and "likes" higher than any sort of education. Sorry state of affairs.

Tek · 10/12/2018 1:00 am

He's definitely not racist.

Back when he was on Twitter i seem to recall most of his conversations with Utd players was with the likes of Justin Johnson, Kyle Knoyle, Ola Adeyemo etc etc.

I was very dissapointed to see the drink driving video and felt he should have been let go in the Summer.

But i do feel he's guilty of nothing more than ignorance/daftness on this occasion.

japanarab · 10/12/2018 1:04 am

What's the story with his Dean Shiels comments? Someone mentioned on twitter that's the third stupid thing he's done. Drinking and driving, Dean Shiels comments and now this. I can only guess it's something about his eye.

Strange comment for a couple of reasons. For one people were raging and demanding he be punted for the drink driving thing. Secondly why does his past, worse actions mean people shouldn't also be raging about this? I don't get the connection, should they pick one thing and just stay on that? Also how does who put it on social media change the fact he did it in any way?

For me, I agree that people look for things to be offended by. The issue for me here is that he clearly has no brain in his head to realise people would jump on this and it brings bad publicity to the club. Particularly after the drink driving thing, you think he'd be trying to keep a lower profile now. But as I said, guys his age don't seem to care what is put online these days.

nomad · 10/12/2018 11:03 am

If the club is aware and does nothing then this is a massive dose of hypocrisy.

https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/5796/Show-Racism-The-Red-Card-Fortnight-Of-Action.html

Of course they may have dealt with it behind closed doors in an appropriate manner, but I don't think many on here have a lot of faith in the management when they deal with things behind closed doors at the moment. So a public action certainly seems appropriate.

I'd show him the door, but I can't hand in hear lt say that is the correct decision. I'd like to be assured by the club that haven't ignored it though.

MockChop · 10/12/2018 11:54 am

can see him being punted out on loan, which may well have happened anyway.

B_Bombscare · 10/12/2018 1:15 pm

Some people getting in a right state about this and demanding a sacking jesus wept. Misguided actions yes, he obviously saw the young nursery worker who done similar in a nursery recently. As a society the mock outrage at everything today is pathetic, the laddie is clearly a bit daft but to demand he be sacked ?

Anyway that's my views for what they are worth.

blackandtangerine · 10/12/2018 1:28 pm

A severe talking too , aye.
Sacking , mon tae fuck.

10/12/2018 2:13 pm

I despair.
If we were still burning witches I could see a long list of applicants for setting the flame.
Our 'support' is just so phukn ugly these days.

I'm just going by the reaction i've guaged from some.

Certain supporters seem to be more angry at this (which is a storm in a teacup really) than they were about his alleged drink driving. Something that could have had very bad consequences for himself and others.

I'm not saying you can't be 'raging' at this btw. But if you compare the incidents then i know what one i'd be really kicking his arse for if i was Utd Manager.

p.s. the fact someone else put it on social media of course has a bearing. If he only dressed up for a laugh in his own home he's hardly hurting anyone. The offence has only been caused because it's now been plastered all over social media.

Time our players were reminded however that they represent Dundee United F.C 24/7 as this type of thing gives the club unecessary bad press even if Robson's actions were ultimately harmless.

Macho Man · 10/12/2018 4:02 pm

I think that some are understating how bad this is. Regardless of whether he intended to offend anyone or not is not the point - this is going give him grief for offending black people

United support the Show Racism The Red Card and regardless of Robson's intent, what he did is deemed racist and he will probably have forced United's hand as a result. I'm not calling for him to be sacked, but if there is anything in his contract about bringing the club into disrepute and a subsequent punishment, then the stupid wee laddie is gonna have to take whatever it is on the chin.

B_Bombscare · 10/12/2018 4:18 pm

To be fair the only people that seem offended are white people. It was a fancy dress party. Misguided yes, I don't see how it is racist though. Is a man dressing up as a woman discriminating against transgender folk ?

World has gone mad !!

The 'drink driving thing'.
He was captured (imagine that, someone got his or her phone out) with a glass containing a green liquid in his hand at the wheel of his car.
He wasn't drinking it & was he even driving at the time?
Reading on here you'd think he'd got 5 years for being 10 times over the limit.
It was a picture prank, silly to a degree, but again, nobody got killed.
Give the boy a phukn break, it's us he plays for, not the Fun, not the huns.
