I remember him citing that course 'I probably know more about it than most now so let's just leave it' was his attitude. Except most of us don't need a course to know what he said, on several occasions, was vile.

I'm not sure this has been handled well by either side, TBH.
If Mackay really did speak to a steward, and the steward said it was a swear word but not a racist comment, then he'd have been better just keeping his mouth shut and passing on the steward's name to his bosses.
I'm also not really sure what benefit it was to hold up an anti-racism T-shirt to the County support, as it comes over (to me, at least) that you're tarring the whole support as being involved in any racist incident.
However, that's more of a heat-of-the-moment thing, and maybe emotions just got the better of him. Unlike Mackay, who given his history, should have kept well out of this.

The correct response would be to say that racism is unacceptable, he would be shocked if one of his team's fans had made such a comment, and it is important to have a thorough investigation to establish what happened.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I remember feeling aggrieved when ‘Hibs fans’ were being piled in on after one old guy allegedly got captured on camera giving a black Hearts player abuse.
The English media seem to be looking to tar whole countries with one brush at the moment when they go abroad with the England football team. I don’t see how this helps.
Racism is and always has been about individuals and how they’re brought up. I’m going to guess that there are as many racists in the Dundee Utd support (probably very few) as there are in the Ross County support.
If I had some guy waving an anti racism banner at me because of the actions of a fellow fan I’d be more than hacked off.

On the other hand Mackay has shown has shown that's he's learned **** all and seems quite content with that.

Maybe some of the RC fans actually had done something?
Obviously any decent person is hacked off at racism but him waving that t-shirt at their full support with an accusing look just wasn’t the right way to deal with it. Why should the spotlight be put on a couple of hundred people because of the alleged actions of 1?

I wouldn't have an issue with a random holding up an anti-racism t-shirt at me as I was bringing home the messages. It only upsets you if you are one.

Listen pal - there is nobody more anti racist than I am … hence the reason I don’t need somebody waving a t-shirt in my face telling me not to be racist.
The Utd manager had good intent but it’s poor that you can’t make a comment on whether he took the right course of action without somebody implying you must be racist if you don’t think he did.

I don't think Ross County are doing themselves any favours here. They seem intent on denying the racial abuse dished out by one of their fans. Dundee United and their player appear utterly convinced about the incident. This isn't the first time either that Ross County have had the finger pointed at them for racist abuse either. I used to travel to the Highlands and I know there are a good few knuckle draggers up there. They are definitely not immune to this, whether they like it or not.
They'd be better accepting the report passed to the police and working with them to identify and rid themselves of this evil.
The more they deny, the more they will lose the plaudits.
