Racist chants (3 Viewers)

[AFCCOVENTRY]

According to quite a few fans there were racist chants being sung in block 14 yesterday.

If this is the case, these idiots need to be banned. Don't have time for scum like that supporting our club.

Yawn. If people want to display their ignorance and racism then let them. Personally I cannot stand the left wing PC brigade especially when they say nothing about hundreds of millions of Islamist racists who are intent on killing gays and denying women's rights.

i bet you voted remain also you sound like a leftie

You think racist chanting is ok then? It really fucking isn't.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

If true then I wholeheartedly agree with AFCCOVENTRY, not acceptable behavior.
I remember Arsene Wengers first home game as Arsenal manager against us, someone called Ian Wright 'a black c***" and was shocked that it went unchallenged by anyone but me.
Singers-pore- whether your views are left or right wing is immaterial, a fellow human being is not a color.
If the fan had called Ian Wright a c*** who could argue?, but bringing race into it is not only illegal its beneath contempt.

Were they the ones in block 14?

Why would you yawn at people criticizing racists? Do you justify criticizing Islamic fascism and racism, but when someone criticizes our racist chants it's just boring PC?

not really no!!.. but i do believe people have a right to express their views like certain people from other religions do

He sounds intelligent in comparison to yourself.

You seem to be a leave voter and are confirming some people's opinions about many leave voters being a bit thick.

What were the left wing PC brigade singing?

It's wrong regardless of who's saying it and whatever their religion.

Racist changes at who? Is it telling them what their town was full of?

 

[Marty]

The only thing i heard 'you're going home to the temple' or something very similar. Which isn't racist but didn't stop some idiot behind me going on about it for 10 mins.

 

[Sick Boy]

I notice that there are more and more far right viewpoints being expressed on this forum by cowardly gobshites.

If you could read properly, I qualified my post by using the word "some".

So carry on, you are doing a great job confirming what many think.

i take it you are a RE MOANER.. speaks volumes..

When people go to watch football that is all it should be about. Political, racist or whatever your views which have noting to do with football have no place on match day. We are meant to be a family club and we have good tradition of being so and I would like the club to continue that way.

Yes people have their views but keep it to yourself or go to the appropriate forum or event to express these.

 

[SkyBlueZack]

Crazy how we had two world wars to prevent prejudice and discrimination. Now it's encouraged.
Without doubt the world is made up of two kinds of people. Good and bad. Regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion.
The bad people use it as an excuse for the atrocities they commit. The media peddle it. The uneducated believe it.
Terrorism is not a Muslim trait. IRA? Mugabe? Hitler?

 

[AndreasB]

Oh Mate.

 

[harvey098]

Sylus, what has someone condemning what they thought to be racist chants got to do with the EU referendum? The vote to leave the EU had nothing to do with race and even if you believe it did, the EU is predominantly white! I think you may have been one of the many idiots that got hoodwinked into associating "vote leave" to mean something very different.

 

[Nick]

It's one I've heard in past games against them, no idea if it's the same as yesterday!

 

[Nick]

i take it you are a RE MOANER.. speaks volumes..

What are you going on about? What's it got to do with racist chants?

 

[Otis]

This thread is embarrassing.

I sense that it will become more so as the day wears on.

Were they at the game yesterday? Must have missed that half time entertainment.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Good to see the club will look into it.

There's no place for any expression of racist views in a football stadium or anywhere else in the UK either.

No wish to take this thread off tangent, but you seem to be a remain voter and are confirming people's opinions about some leave voters as being unwilling to absorb (or countenance) many-sided views (and wanting to conflate positions to make you feel better about the fact that you lost the vote).

No. You got it wrong. Many people think that many leavers are a bit thick. Less qualified people tended to vote leave. So when people - leavers - make stupid posts it confirms a certain stereotype. It doesn't help the leavers' case who made their choice based on reason not on rabid anti foreigner views.

I don't think that 17 million people are thick, but, as you can see, some may well be.

If there was racist chanting it needs to be condemned and action taken where possible.
We have never tolerated it at Cov and never should.

As to all of the rest of the bollocks about Brexit, religion. Give it a rest this is about an incident yesterday at the ground.

Well yep! Bleedin obvious.

When peoples views are nothing more than a toxic bile spewed at minority groups because of their race/ sexuality etc. Then no, I don't think people are entitled to express a view that most intelligent people find highly offensive and divisive. One mans 'I'm just expressing my opinion' is another mans inciting racial hatred. Coventry is one of the most multicultural cities in the country and we should be proud of that diversity

 

[italiahorse]

What are you going on about? What's it got to do with racist chants?

I think it relates to the ignorance attached to the leave vote.
For some reason these people believe that it means sending anybody home if they are not British.
Little do they realise that hospitals, farming and many industries rely on the skills of these people to continue.

Exactly - as someone who didn't vote in the referendum, you can't call me a "leave voter" or a "remain voter". I would have preferred to have remained, but comfortable leaving and in fact think it is necessary as leave did win the referendum.

Anyway, the "let people express their views" argument is fine as long as that doesn't include shouting "go back to the temple, you're just a town full of..." to a group of football fans 70 yards away from you. Anything that is shouted and intended to be offensive, whether racist or not, has no place at football games.

The final point is the most interesting one - I for one think that we have a lot of untapped support amongst the immigrant communities of the City. When was the last time you saw lots of Asian fans in the ground. CCFC is far from alone amongst clubs with that problem, but perhaps a fear of encountering attitudes like sylus's is one factor in keeping minorities from getting involved in supporting their local team.

Scary that people like this walk amongst us.
