Hi chaps It appears we might not be the only racists! Apparently there were racist chants from the Chelsea away fans against Norwich which Chelsea FC, "are working to help the relevant authorities identify those responsible. We will take the strongest possible action should these allegations prove to be true". Now will this make full blown news like it did for us? Or will this get brushed under the table by the FA and Media who have now made their statement with us? Anyone else annoyed Henry didn't get a 1 match ban for his reaction at Swansea like Suarez did with Fulham? Any of you Chelsea lot there to confirm it? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16669750.stm
So many times have I seen cases worse than ours when players surround the ref and nothing is done. It wasn't that bad when we did it because their was no malice towards the ref, just pleading. When Sunderland players surrounded the ref in the Chelsea game last week they were shouting and swearing right in the refs face. No action taken.
The way Liverpool handled the whole Suarez episode is the reason why you got so much stick from the media. Anyway, this chanting was away from the stadium and so is not a matter for the FA. Good point about Henry though. I hadn't thought of that.
Chelsea's captain (allegedlly, although theres proof enough to him to be charged) directly abuses a black player & is under investigation, I wouldnt be suprised if he finishes his career before anything comes of that, he doesnt even have the lingual differance's between south american spanish & english as an excuse & he's still playing ! we have one dickhead shout a racist comment at an oldham player & we are The Third Reich reincarnated ! Not only is there this chelsea problem of fans racially chanting on a train but they were chanting racist comments (not directly but only an idiot cant read between the lines of what they were chanting) at anton ferdinand in a match he wasnt even playing in & not so much of a slapped wrist ! People say were overly paranoid & that the papers, FA & so forth dont have an agenda against us but the facts speak for themselves, FA stick up for there own when it suits them & throw the book at Liverpool at any given oppurtunity. Sure we didnt help ourselves with the poor handling of the suarez incident but does anyone think it's any worse than the going's on at stamford bridge ? thanks to the papers and FA they quite clearly do !
Yeah I agree. They seem to have got bored of smashing Terry which they usually love doing! I wonder what's taking so long to find out his results?
The thing with the Terry incident is that because a member of the public made a complaint it is a matter for the courts and not the FA. The most the courts can do is hand Terry a fine. It's stupid but there you go. I would like to see the FA take some action if Terry is found guilty by the courts but I doubt they will. As for the chanting, you were always going to get more stick after the whole Suarez incident. It didn't help that some of your fans were stupid enough to start chanting Suarez's name whilst the Oldham player was complaining about being racially abused.
The Saurez song was actually being sung a good minute before the incident, just an unfortunate coincidence. The fans sing it in every game for some reason even when Saurez isn't playing.
God you do come out with hot air. It was inappropraite for fans to sing their fav players name and i'm sure they were all aware what happening and made the split second decision to keep singing rather than immediately stop. You're in a dream world mate.
It was, but how could all the fans know it was racial abuse at the time and immediately click that it may not be the best time to be singing the song. When your singing in the terraces you are on a roll and probably wouldn't have noticed the off the ball incident immediately. We are talking about a fairly big number of fans here. Edit: If someone had been shot through the head and all the brains were there for all to see across the penalty box and the fans carried on singing then fair enough.
Ridiculous, Liverpool sing it ALL the time, and it's not like the fans in the stadium knew what occured between the 1 fan & the oldham player, unfortunate coincidance as the above said. I feel it's completely different to chanting "anton ferdinand, you know what you are" when everyone knew what was allegedly said between terry and ferdinand. Anything come of that ?
Singing Anton Ferdinand you know what you are could mean anything though, theirs nothing that indicates what chelsea fans actually meant when they was singing that, obviously we can speculate but theirs no actual proof to the meaning, same with this one, wheres the actual proof chelsea fans were singing racist songs on the train? It would be a bit stupid considering our squad is about 50-50 in terms of race
Their doomed when Fergie retires, no more officials on the payroll, howard webb will have to find a new employer, their actually have to earn their wins
