Thought I'd just put this story in here.
A man has been arrested over claims by ex-footballer Stan Collymore that he was sent racial abuse on Twitter.Collymore contacted Staffordshire Police who passed on the complaint to Northumbria Police.
The 21-year-old man, believed to be from the Newcastle area, is currently in police custody on suspicion of racially-aggravated harassment.
Collymore, 40, originally from Cannock, Staffordshire, played for a string of top clubs in his career.
He now works as a broadcaster for talkSPORT.
Collymore also campaigns against racism and is a supporter of the charity Depression Alliance.
A spokeswoman for Northumbria Police said: "Just after midnight police received a complaint of racist comments that had been made on Twitter.
"Officers are carrying out inquiries."

Without being able to prove this, I'd say this us as close to a fact as possible,
Said this would happen 2 an a half weeks ago, The T-shirts, and fans being encouraged to wear them was inflammatory.
This is what makes the situation over dodgy from the get go, or just an incredible coincidence?
Things the Suarez debate told us was despite Flojo's almost blind tribalism. (and I will call it that because even after admitting that a ban was correct based upon Suarez own testimony alone, he still wanted to profess the mans innoncence and claim that they had been wronged)
But the Other thing it showed us was without a doubt Flojo is an intelligent guy,
Also a defence of this would've made all his arguements in the Suarez thread even more redundant,

If anybody thinks this is remotely similar to the Suarez incident they're idiots, you only have to read what I posted in the Suarez thread to know what my opinion is on this.

There's a massive elephant in the room but I aren't going to be the one to point it out
