i find this whole thread very hard to believe.... after all the good that came out of yesterdays fixture, i.e.. cracking game of football, a sell out from both sets of supporters, afcw back in the league after 9 years, rovers first competative game under new management. and someone has to bring up some comments made probably by a small group of teenagers giggly on one to many shandys. yes, i agree there is no room for racist comments in football in this day and age. but please there is alot more to yesterday than this?? i am a s/t holder and last season did all home games and about 50% away games, and hand on heart can say not once have i heard any supporter say a racist comment directed at anyone player. and thats standing in with all the crack pots every game.
unfortunatley gashead1, it does happen. i dont hear it at home but it does happen now and then at away games. few years back the leicester away game was a very bad example. it still happens everywhere my friend. but 1 thing is for sure, if i hear it then there will be trouble as i wont just ignore it thats for sure. i applaude shiny yesterday as he actualy gave it back to the dickhead who was racist behind him. these people should be banned and raped in a mexican prison. and the dickhead who was racist behind shiny actually aimed his remarks at maynard, who i think may be their best player. just dont make sense. those who are racist usually aim it at the opposition but 9 times out of 10 have black players on their own team! i just dont get why they do it! roberto carlos walked off the pitch the other week due the racist remarks he heard!

I am amazed this has got so out of hand,all the way through I have commended BRFC 100%,I have commended BRFC fans 100%,I have said I am only highlighting what another (may I say genuine and honest) fan said.I hate racism and make no excuses. Your football club,BRFC and the genuine fans I have said are fantastic and honourable about racism,I can't say anymore,the comment was made by a Chelsea fan who was there and heard "gasheads" making racists comments,a minority but still enough to out number telling them,not my words,his.... If I was trying to score points I would have broadcasted this on my own board,I have not,I'm not interested,I really don't know what else to say and I'm sorry but there are elements of all clubs that need to know times have marched on.. I personally hate racism,White,Black,Brown,Yellow,Red,BLUE or any colour you care to mention....
yet again you dont answer and ignore my comments but yet twist them. my last post at you actually mentioned everything you just said above. yet you post it again! oh well. onwards and upwards.
cjs,honestly,I thought you were more intelligent than that sort of remark,you are obviously a very intelligent and deep thinking individual but I don't understand your stance and I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it? Stupid but true......
i think you hit the nail on the head captain.. these so called fans(idiots) who are saying these racist comments, must realise that they have black players in the team they are following???
excuse me wiz, i am just a drama queen hey! i thought you be more intelligent and condeme all those racist in football not just those 'elements' at MY club making out everything is perfect your end. which is why you had the following comments wiz. again, surely you can see why by saying "dont YOUR elements know it is 2011" you would this reaction from the above people (including a chelsea fan). obviously since that stupid comment of yours, you have gone on to say racism happens at every club even your own. and that you only highlighted a comment made by a chelsea fan. your comments have shown you are angry with those being racist in football. that is good stuff wiz, what i would expect from you i honestly think you made a mistake and didnt mean to say "dont YOUR elements know it is 2011". i honestly think you meant 'dont these dickheads who are racist in football know it is 2011'. there is a difference i am affraid. i hope i am right that you made this simple mistake.
Of course the comments you have put up show annoyance and irratation but thats because of racist comments being shouted at a football match by "gashead" fans and highlighted on here by a Chelsea fan,whilst complimenting you're team on a good performance,albeit was a side remark it still happened. It causes anger and embarrasment by true "gasheads" who see their club's reputation taking a knock,I have had nothing to do with it except discuss it on a free and open forum. If I had said it was 1066 it would have made no difference,they are "gashead" elements and it is 2011 and racist remarks were made,they were heard and the comment was put up.. Why adopt a shotgun approach when a single bullet will do,it's the racists we should be arguing with,not each other...
Congratulations Wize, you have managed to hijack this thread and detract from our fine away win. Why not start a new thread where we can all post our disapproval of the tiny racist minority that infect every football club
no wiz, the annoyance and irritation is shown at you for saying 1 comment making out racism only happens with elements at rovers. our club reputation has taken no knock wiz. see all of district lines comments on here. he is full of praise of our club actually. we aint embarrassed by it either as it happens everywhere. yes it causes anger as it should not be happening anywhere full stop. you know this but seem to of forgotten this fact with your 1st comment which is why it is evident that you used the incident as ammo which is why you got the negative comments. the point is wiz you use it as ammo at us. if it wasnt used against us but used against racism generalising all racism at football in 2011 then fair enough. however the negative comments from all above even the chelsea fan know you used it as ammo. that is very sad coming from yourself wiz who was respected amongst us gasheads on here. stooping that low for ammo is a sad state of affairs. as above, we as in you and me are standing together against racism. however were against you due to you clearly using it as ammo. sorry wiz but thats how it is.
Where Wizered made his mistake was bashing the Gas on something he's heard about second hand. Where's your proof that this happened? Great win for Rovers BTW - good game as well. If anyone's got it recorded, look at AFC's first goal and freeze it just before it was scored - Rovers Left FB didn't come out as quickly as the other 3 defenders - if he had, at least 3 AFC players, including the goal scorer would have all been in offside positions. Something for Buckle to work on in training.
Doesn't change the fact that a element of the "gashead" support,how ever small was heard chanting racist remarks.No where have I bashed Bristol Rovers and what a load old tosh about personal reputations,I don't give a **** what "gasheads" or anybody else thinks,I speak the truth as I see it and I have some fun when I can,if you don't like it there's not a lot I can do about it but I won't be losing any sleep....
seriously? your very 1st comment bashed rovers making out racism only happens with rovers hense the negative comments. yes going by district lines comments, racism was heard on saturday in the rovers end. it should not have happened and hope it wont again. however as its in football everywhere, even your end, im sure it will happen again. however i hope those around that individual or few or group gets reported and deported from the ground and banned for life at any club. but using the racism as ammo like YOU did in your 1st comment is out of order and wont be forgotten im sure. but hey, you wont lose any sleep over it will you!
What is really stinging you is you've all been let down by some of your away fans and all the waffle in the world won't change that,you can try and confuse the issue,change the direction of the discussion and blame me for China being RED but it doesn't change anything. The racist comments was made by a group of "gasheads" and heard by a Chelsea fan,he put it up as part of his comment.... It's the reputation bit and what people might think of me I won't lose any sleep over...
I don't want to get caught up in this, and I have made my thoughts clear in a previous post. However, it has almost gone unnoticed that Shiney posted over the weekend: 'the only thing that bugged me today was some drunken ****ing idiot behind me, who thinks to solve our problem is to, As in his words "FOR **** SAKE MILLEN **** THAT USELESS BLACK **** MAYNARD OFF TO LEICESTER AND BUY SOME DEFENDERS" i told him to **** off and then he had a pop at me' All grounds have them, all society has them, and to pick out one particular club, unless it is endemic, is pointless.
I totally agree with you 49nr and that person should be named,shamed,banned and prosecuted for such disgusting behavior,nowhere in this discussion have I even suggested that Bristol Rovers are anything else than top of the table in their attitude towards racism. A very honourable and respected club...
p49, that has not gone unnoticed with me as i have mentioned that quite a lot of times in this thread. i even applauded shiny for making a stand on his thread. i didnt however then try and get one over on city by saying "dont your elements know it is 2011". i wonder if i did that, what response i would have had! no doubt i would of had the same negative comments wiz has had. wiz, that has not stung me at all. it happens im affraid. at every club. i would be stupid like someone i know if i thought otherwise. i havent been let down or feel let down. they are not real fans of rovers. or of football. they aint human. they are scum. it was good of the author to actually state the positive stuff and that our reputaton is in tact and not ruined by dickheads. it was also good of him to notice along with a fair few others on here that someone was using it as ammo. surely we ALL cant be wrong there hey! someone else on here asked you to apologise. you said no. you clearly cant see what is wrong with your comment. we all must be wrong then. oh well. i will end things there i think.
