Don't sit among the morons, every club has them and they tend to sit together in specific areas. I can't remember the last time I heard any racial abuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Voice of reason   0 #27 Posted May 28, 2019 It's simply not feasible to not have any racist people at a match of 25-30k people. There isn't racist chanting though. You may hear some idiot shout something, although I never have. But this debate is about racism affecting black players managing. Every club has black and overseas players. There's probably more multiculturalism in football then any other 'industry' . I think it's a red herring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sheffsteel   10 #28 Posted June 1, 2019 I’ve been going to Bramall Lane regularly since the 70’s.  In the past 30 years I’ve only ever heard racist jokes/ chants when playing Bradford City, referencing Pakistani’s. Racist comments/ chants about black players seemed to stop once we had Deane and Agana from 1990.  I’ve always had a theory that some people are full of frustration/ resentment/ pent up anger, they become a walking pressure cooker building up ready to explode but instead of taking it out on the wife and kids, they go to a match to “let off steam’. Ive seen it with my own eyes where the ref gives the other team a throw-in and the guy near me is going mad shouting abuse at the ref. His actions are totally disproportionate to what’s just happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
