Bit of a tough one this (or maybe not?) and it's been playing on my mind for a few weeks. I've got a couple of Neanderthals sitting behind me each game, season ticket holders obviously. Now aside from them not actually knowing the name of the player on the ball at any one time which is irritating, they are partial to a couple of derogatory terms regarding our black players each game. So far this season I’ve heard nigger a couple of times, coon once a match and black cun| (addressing Mr Fuller as he stepped up to equalise against Hull last week). That said when they called Kitson a “Ginger tosser” I thought, fair play ;D
Now, the question is, do I shop the idiots to the club, have a word with them next time I hear it or put up with it for the rest of the season?
I do cringe every time I hear the words having a couple of black friends. Saying that it’s just words from the mouths of idiots so should I care? Is it any worse than calling Kitson a “Ginger tosser”? I dunno, I’m in a quandary. Any advice or similar experiences?

i dunno if this helps...but when Shawcross went down with that back injury, i mumbled "come on, son, get up" to have a clown in front of me, say "eff off, he's a big lad"....so when he didn't get up, I retorted with, 'come on son, you're a big lad'.....the bloke apologised at the end of the game and shook my hand!  At the Hull game, his own brother (who sits next to him), said what a dick head he'd been, in light of the injury revelations, and both were very friendly~! Therefore, i suggest staying quiet until you can play him at his own game, ie, "that 'black cunt' has just scored and earned us 3 points, you racist dickhead"......which could be mama, ricci, or any number of our our midfielders ;D Failing that, shop the twat! ;D |

Why the feck are you seeking the answer here? Any normal person would have the sense to deal with it accordingly.
As if the far-right dicks on here will take your racial concern seriously.
Just Do It EEEEEETTT - as they say!

errr, just do what? There are a number of options available and it all depends on your point of view as to what "deal with it accordingly" means doesn't it? I'm simply asking for opinions.

As far as I know, the guy who sells badges near the ticket office still sells BNP stuff. Hopefully Faye will notice and kick him to death one day.

For an area that's quite racist anyway we've got better about this but I'd like to see more initiatives from the club. Nothing wrong with a bit of honest abuse but if it's racist, no way.
If it was me I'd try having a word, see if it improves but if that just makes it worse I'd shop them

Tell him to watch his racism next time he does it if it offends you that much. To be honest I think that the victims of racism are often the racists themselves as other people think that they are just ignorant, backward and uneducated knuckle draggers.

They do say that the truth hurts hardest. As to the OP question, you should really confront them (in a non-inflammatory manner), say you don't feel it is appropriate, and ask them to abate. If they repeat again next match ask again, and if it happens a third time tell the club. If we don't stand up to racism, it won't ever go away. |

True enough, I'm suprised nobody else has said anything to be honest. That said I don't go down the match to confront a group of blokes, I go to support Stoke. It's not that it offends me that much, I'm white so why would it.I just feel there's no need for it. |

If we don't stand up to racism, it won't ever go away. If you think racism will EVER go away you're deluded. Whilst I tend not to use racist remarks myself a great many of the yoghurt gobblers and liberate' who scream to the heavens about racism can often be heard referring to the Welsh as 'sheepshaggers', the scousers as 'pickpockets and scallys', and the Scots as 'tight arses' Strange thing racism .... And then you've got fat bastards .... chavs, gippo's .... Don't you just love stereotypes. |

I'd have words personally mate, theres no roomforshit like that this day in age. Im not a P.C conformist but I think racism is brainless caveman shite.
Isnt this the kind of thing kick racism out of football is all about?

Did you know that at one of our recent home games (I forget which), the team came out of the tunnel lined up with all the white players, followed by all the black players?
Fact.
Andrew Griffin is running a racist changing room I'm afraid lads, and until we tackle our captain's discrepancies, the crowd problems will not be solved.

If you think racism will EVER go away you're deluded. NO I don't believe racism will ever disappear. However, that is no excuse to turn a blind eye to it. |

LH_SCFC, the fact that Griffin is a neo-nazi seems to surprise you. Did you not know of his eastern European roots? From Wigan my arse!

I'd keep schtum, people like that aren't going to see the error of their ways because some do-gooder tells them off, it will almost certainly just cause you alot of aggro. Inform the club if it really bothers you... either that or smuggle a knife into the ground and stab the slags.

don't stab them,just realise they know nothing about the human race,laugh at them and move on...they may learn one day!!!!

macmozzer could be right. Take a knife to the ground and flip a coin while you are there, heads you stab them & tails you don't.
You can't get in trouble if the coin told you to do it.
