Hereford FC manager Paul Caddis has updated supporters on a number of issues including last Saturday's troubles at Sporting Kkalsa.
'I have been involved in football now professionally as a player, coach and manager since 2003 and I have never witnessed racist abuse at any match I’ve played or any football club setting I have been in.
I want to address this as the manager of your football club and the first spokesman for our club when incidents like this happen. I acted on instinct on Saturday with a human thought process to it and not as a football manager leading a game. I have players of different races in my dressing room, and I will go to hell and back with those lads, whatever race you may be.
We will not accept that type of behaviour at our club. We should not accept that as human beings. Ravan Constable turned up on Saturday to play with his mates, kicking around a bag of air and throwing on his gloves, and all he did for the first 60 mins of the game was smile and compete. I want to once again publicly and personally apologise to you and your football club, Ravan, for what you had to witness. I reiterate that all at Hereford FC are behind you and stand with you. Our own Hereford FC players will be offered the full support of myself and the club if they feel the need to seek some clarification and/or help off the back of the incident on Saturday.
It’s now important that we allow the authorities and right people to deal with the incident, and I consider what happened on Saturday between both clubs and 99% of the stadium capacity a show of strength and togetherness and a message that it’s not okay to pay an entrance fee and do and say what you want. In a world in which it costs an arm and a leg to provide for your family, there are always some things that will never ever cost a penny. Be a decent human being. It costs nothing!'
