**** 'em, yeah possibly fueled by booze but that will only ever make a **** a bigger ****, and if that makes you suddenly openly racist, I'd suggest booze is not for you.
A person who isn’t inherently racist doesn’t do monkey chants and gestures at a black player even when pissed and angry. So they are intrinsically racist, they just most likely, usually hide it better.
Thought Gary Nev absolutely nailed it after the Spurs v Chavs game but Sky tried to bury his comments. This country has a racism problem, always has, it’s just that the racists currently feel empowered so are being more vocal.
If the survey is right then likely 15 to 20 thousand people in the crowd describe themselves as racist so hardly surprising that some of them revert to shouting racist stuff when angry. What we need is for the rest of the crowd to shout them down and give non partisan support to the abused player. Anyone think of a good tune for 'get out of our ground you racist ****'.
I think the one thing that astonishes me is that this happened at Tottenham in a state of the art football ground. I assume they will also have a state of the art security control room, that will be scanning every inch of the ground via cctv. It can't be cheap going to a game either, and I assume seats are allocated. I wrongly assumed in a billion pound stadium, that racism would not cross it's threshold.
I think you just recycle an oldie 'get out of our club get out of our club you knuckle-dragging racists get out of our club.'
The problem with racists are they are thick ****s and have no shame whatsoever, well as long as you don't accuse them of not singing along to the National Anthem. So it's difficult to give them punishments that will not be seen as a badge of honour
Don't underestinate peer pressure. People used to drink drive routinely when I was young and no-one called them up on it. That has completely changed as far as I can see.
They will almost certainly identify those responsible. Racists are unidentifiable until they start spouting their bile.
Then why is it returning? I'd suggest these views being more vocal are on the rise because more and more people think they're in the right and their equally thick **** mates would back them with their 'can't even call a black person a ... anymore'
they're not on the rise, they're simply being reported more often. 10,000 making monkey chants wouldn;t have been mention 15 years ago, now there's been an 'alledged' remark, it's big news for 2 days.
Probably hasn't helped the state of race relation in Britain, having a new Prime Minister who has made openly racist comments in the past. A brief but unequivocal statement from the Minister of Sport (is there one?) might actually be quite helpful at this point.
I thought it had until I moved to the village. It's still completely normal for people from the neighbouring villages to drive to the pub over here on a weekend, have a drink and then they all jump in their cars at the end of the night and drive home.
My mate moved to a village near Exeter a while ago, and got grassed up for doing that - by the pub landlord. Lost his licence and had to cycle a 40 mile round trip to work every day for 18 months. That ****ing showed him. Well, it didn't actually; he's dead now.
Good. People who drink drive are ****ing idiots. Somebody close to me does it and drives recklessly, I know it's only a matter of time before he kills himself or somebody else.
Mate, when I started going to footie matches as a kid black players were rare. Those that did play were subjected to non stop abuse. I can remember being at Upton Park as a kid watching Clyde Best run down the wing through a hail of bananas.
So the term monkey makes someone a racist . Well then someone on here is one, judging by the tags on the dinner thread.
