Scott Parker Backs Burnley player who cut Prestons Milutin Osmajic Handshake in the middle of racism.

Scott Parker said that he supported the decision of his Burnley players not to give Preston North End striker Milutin Osmajic in front of the Fa Cup difference on Saturday.

The midfielder of Burnley, Hannibal Mejbri, had accused Osmajic of having abused him racist during her championship game on February 15, which Preston says, Osmajic emphasized and the Football Association (FA) examined the claim.

The league match last month was taken for a few minutes after Osmajic with the Burnley player who reacted angrily, seemed to say something and reported to the referee Andrew Kitchen, who had stopped the game while he was resumed with his fourth edition and both before the game was resumed.

Hannibal later wrote on Instagram to say that “nobody should have to experience” what he supposedly did.

“I won't be silent about what happened today,” he wrote. “I will always call racism when I hear or see him. This is the only way to change as sports and a society. I am a strong person, but nobody should have to experience this disgusting abuse on the field. “

At the time, both clubs dealt with statements with Preston, who pointed out that Osmajic had “strongly refuted” the demands in a meeting after playing with matchmates.

The 25-year-old Montenegrin was appointed in Preston's start-line-up for the FA Cup tie in Deepdale on Saturday, while the FA examination continues.

Parker said he decided to let Hannibal out of the game on Saturday to “protect” him, and none of the Burnley Boten Osmajic players during the usual handshakes before the game.

“The players decided that this was an attitude they would take. I fully supported this when I found it out, ”Parker told reporters after the game.

“If this is the decision that this group wanted to decrease out of support and an understanding of more clarity and understanding of the situation, this is the decision they made.”

Preston won the Tie 3-0 and after scoring his second goal, Osmajic celebrated followers in front of Burnley's travelers by putting his hands around his ears. Paul Heckingbottom, Manager of Preston, said Osmajic wanted to “be involved”.

Parker said he decided against Hannibal, the former midfielder of Manchester United, but that made him “sad”.

“I made the conscious decision to get him out of this situation,” he said. “I didn't want to put Hannibal into a situation that is still in the air because it is – and he comes to an away stage, perhaps against a player against whom the accusations are.

“My decision, which thought for a long time and a lot about it, was that I just wanted to protect Hannibal. The fact that Hannibal had to miss today makes me sad. “

Osmajic received a suspension with eight games and convicted at the beginning of this season with a fine of £ 15,000, after he was guilty in September in September that he bites Blackburn Rovers Owen Beck.
