On talkshite now. Flatly refusing to apologise for the Clattenburg incident. And now going on about Wet Sham fans. Why is he sticking his oar in on this. Surely it's the FA's job to deal with this not some holier than thou idiot who clearly assumes everyone hates ethnic minorities. He is going to create more problems than fix them.

This fella could show you racism in a handful of dust or the air we breathe.

Herbert is a self publicist and an idiot in my opinion. BUT, the FA can't deal with racist chants by fans and keep things "in house." Racist chanting by fans at a football match is a criminal offence and only a court could, for example, ban gulity fans from ALL football grounds for a period of time. The most the FA can do is fine West Ham and encourage them to ban the guilty fans from West Ham games.

To be fair he is saying that the FA are not reporting these incidents as racial when they should be. Which is a fair point. But he is a knob who knows nothing about football, he was saying that these was racial chanting on Wednesday and this had been carried on to Saturday. On Wednesday it was Lazio fans, have they gone to the Spurs game on Saturday?

Then let somebody who was there, and was offended by the chants, report it to the police, and not some publicity-seeking arsehole who has read about it in the the papers.

I was responding to the original post at the top of the thread where the poster stated that the FA should deal with it. I pointed out that for racist chanting by fans, the FA or the club HAVE to involve the Police - and, as it happens, this is what they have done. Herbert is an idiot (and probably does more harm than good with his constant comments) but in this case he was merely stating the obvious and the FA had already made the decision to consult the Police.
