so if the fella who threw a banana skin didn't do it with a racial intention

But surely apes like full bananas and not just the skin? I'm not seeing the racism angle.

I do sort of agree with this but then i still can't help but think that a) chucking anything is just dumb and b) a banana skin at a black player, at some point would your brain not compute that this could be taken rather badly.

It was a penalty, he was likely to score and quite likely to run that way. I'd say he had plenty of time to prepare and at no point did he think, this is a very bad idea

There is another health and safety aspect here. what if he slipped on the skin.

Perhaps that'll be his defence. He was removing a hazard that could have caused an accident and it was just incredibly unfortunate timing.
