talkSPORT<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cThere were two players per table and Manuel Da Costa was with me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis guy came and asked for an autograph so I gave him his autograph. Then he asked me nicely how I was feeling so I just said I was tired from the game yesterday and that it was a tough game.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then he just replied: \u2018Oh, we\u2019re tired watching you play every weekend.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cI was surprised and told Da Costa what the guy had said.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Senegalese international said it was at this point that tensions rose further.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen the guy all of a sudden started screaming at me like crazy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to calm him down but he didn\u2019t want to. He kept on screaming, then some players came and pushed me out of there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey just told me to walk away and tried to calm this guy but he didn\u2019t want to calm down and started smashing some tables and glasses.<\/p>\n
\u201cHerita Ilunga was sitting on the table next to me. He is a calm guy so I just said come and try to calm this guy but he started insulting me.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I got up to show I\u2019m not impressed at all by him but this guy was a bit drunk. The people next to me said he was saying racist things\u201d<\/p>\n
And Ba has accused the supporter of aiming racist abuse directly at him, adding: \u201cWhen he talked to me I didn\u2019t understand everything that he said but the people next to me said he was saying racist things and stuff.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Danny Gabbidon heard these words he came and tried to talk to him but this guy didn\u2019t want to listen and started insulting Gabbidon as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody punched anybody like I read in the newspaper today. It was just one guy screaming and smashing tables.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ba\u2019s future has come under debate following the side’s relegation at the weekend and the striker admits he is unsure where he will be plying his trade next season.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cWe\u2019re going to have some time off because it’s been a really long season and I\u2019ll think about my future later on.\u201d<\/p>\n
