I didn’t hear anything from the south stand, so it can’t have been that many people.

In his post-match press conference, Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic said: "I didn't hear that [the chanting] and this is not the place for this for sure, in the stadium and also in public as well. This is not good, for sure.
"The stadium is not the place for that and this is the reason why they are arrested."
Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior added: "Without knowing what has happened, and I don't know, any discriminatory language in any form about anything is unacceptable.
"I hope it gets dealt with. The fourth official mentioned something to me but I was so focused on the game. I honestly don't know what's happened there."
In a few days it will be virtual chip paper.
The chant itself has been around a long time and used by many clubs, aimed at players who sell their sole for money for any club
I remember a newspaper article back in the day about us singing it against Michael Owen, the article commenting on the authenticity of the old school Hull atmosphere (East Stand) compared to the sanitised atmospheres at many premier league clubs, title of the article from memory 'The Theatre of Hate'.
We have moved on and doing it now is just stupid and just blights the club and an individual ending up with a 'publicised' criminal record.
Chelsea 'Headhunters' have been quiet on this

After match comment from Serg alog the lines he' s injured ribs thigh calf and was it hamstring but will be fine for next game.
I'm guessing we didn't want Liam to see what a proper centre forward looks like.
100%
Talk of arrests even? WTF.
World's gone mad.
As you say, "a case of someone (people) looking for a reason to be offended ....".
Q more faux outrage.

Ribs,thigh,calf and hamstring? Was he hit by a bus in Prinny Ave?
Well I was in the middle of the East Stand and didn't hear anything
It's a pity a few idiots can create headlines
Sounds like he has had five minutes with one of Rerver's old conquests.
Never can understand why football gets more publicity on issues of abuse and chanting of offensive nature. Stupid people carry it out and hopefully the law/club sort it out. However there are marches daily/weekly around the country where abuse of all nature are thrown around in the name of activism and seen to be ok if you are on the side who are throwing them.
Football is highlighted too much compared to this. High profile I know but it seems like 25k of people are demonised for the action of the few.

No shame in losing to a clearly superior team. Thought Slater and McCarthy did really well. As for chanting, I was in Upper West and couldn't tell what was supposed to be offensive. Mind you, apart from "Wise Men say", "50 grand" and "Ei-ei-ei-O" I don't know / can't tell the words of any chants or songs these days 
Should have thrown bottles at them from West Upper. Our state of the art CCTV cameras can’t pick that up as despite a lot of people being injured by them at the FC v Rovers game no one was ever arrested. Seems words are more serious. Or maybe the plod are not interested in arresting rugby fans?
Funny how you never hear the term "Rugy League hooligans" when something like the above happens, but when something happens at a football game, you will always hear the term "football hooligans."
It's got to the stage that yes,nowadays words are more serious...

Only slight downward adjustments to the capacity and in what is now an almost 25 year old ground still no plan at all to increase capacity by any amount. We are close to full routinely now and any attractive fixture will sell out. We need a stadium growth plan, phased short term and long term. Put potential back on the agenda city.
Totally agree. We had two defenders at the near post whose job it is to head the ****ing ball, not wrestle with the opposition - he might look ungainly but none of the goals were down to keeper error. If you're looking for problems what the hell has happened to Lundstram? Started the season on fire, probably our best player, but since his (very long) absence he's been running through treacle. Allegedly he's there to protect the back four but look at their fourth and the Bristol goals, his covering and tracking back is so poor it's almost like he's doing it on purpose.
