Barnet condemn racist abuse aimed at Isiah Noel-Williams after Oldham draw
Barnet have condemned racist abuse directed at midfielder Isiah Noel-Williams on Instagram after he was sent off in the club's 1-1 draw with Oldham.
Barnet have condemned racist abuse directed at midfielder Isiah Noel-Williams on Instagram following the club's 1-1 draw with Oldham. The club shared a screengrab of a response to a post on Noel-Williams' Instagram account in which a user replied with a racist image.
In a statement, Barnet said it condemned "in the strongest terms" the abuse aimed at the player and pledged its full support for him, adding that there is no place for racism in football, online or anywhere in society.
The abuse followed a match in which Noel-Williams was sent off for a foul in the 70th minute at the Hive. Oldham went on to score a 94th-minute equaliser.
Noel-Williams, 23, joined League Two side Barnet in the summer from National League South club Hemel Hempstead Town.
The club's response makes clear that the abuse is treated as separate from, and unacceptable regardless of, the on-field events of the game.
