Given that they have Jesus in their fan base it is all a bit of a shock:

"It's not racism per se" - I am first to jump at the hilt to defend our supporters when we get stick, so I am not tarring all their fans with the same brush
But blimey, some Wednesday supporters have really not been helping themselves have they

I think he is suggesting, misguided as he is, that the c***s did what they did not because of a hatred towards another race, but rather a hatred towards KP exacerbated by the fact they were losing a game of football?
Whilst I see what he’s saying, the point where he says ‘it’s not racism per se’ just means anything else in his post is nonsense. Of course it’s racist, you’ve got to be another level of stupid to not realise that saying or doing something that is hurtful, upsetting, insulting to someone else because of their race is racist, regardless of situation, intention or sentiment….

No I understand the argument and it’s nonsense on its own terms.
I hate player > I think of the worst thing, In my opinion, to say to a player. If I think that’s racism I’m significantly less likely to say it to him because I think it’s abhorrent.
Those who say it think it’s fair game and no different to calling a player a wanker.
It’s like saying you got racist because you were drunk or tired. That’s not how it works. Anger, beer, etc remove filters, they don’t add random bigotry in that isn’t there already.

Reading through the thread on Owlstalk. The majority rightly condemn the gestures of their fan yesterday, but some trying to excuse it, making out Palmer was asking for it, etc etc.
I'm intelligent enough to know it was an individual and not the SWFC fanbase as a whole. Similar to the helicopter banners last week. As I said in my earlier post, all teams have twats following them. We certainly have our fair share as I see it home and away every game.

Yea, I'm sure the pitch had an impact on the game. It became very scrappy. We could have done better in patches too I think. There were a few times they were able to advance 50odd yards unchallenged!

Some of the posts on this board aren't exactly edifying, either. Some of the responses to robbiekeane's 'Lazy' thread were... interesting, for sure and there are plenty of other examples, overt and covert, too.
I'd rather City fans weren't thought racist because of a minority of bigots on this forum, and the same should apply for Sheffield Wednesday. Sometimes the silence about it is... unsettling however.

The most disappointing thing for me is I've seen a few comments from Wednesday fans saying that they're not surprised & know who the likely culprits are... Like wtf!? What are they even doing in the stadium in the first place? Has nobody reported them before? Or has the club turned a blind eye?
Let's be clear, it is a very, very small minority, but there have been an awful lot of similar incidents around Wednesday in recent years. The club needs to get a handle on it quickly else I think it's only fair the authorities start looking at points deductions.

is it not too late? how many chances do you give them? shall we just wait and see if it happens again before we do anything?
I’d say it’s a minority, but judging by what, or who has come out the woodwork on social media, fans forums and even their podcast, surely it’s not a ‘small’ one.
If the club, or indeed any of their fans, have turned a blind eye they are complicit and some would argue just as bad.
The club need punishing, if only to send a message that this is entirely unacceptable behaviour and will not be tolerated in any way - there’s no ‘three strikes and you’re out’

I agree but the FA don't actually have the power to impose points deductions yet but it has to be the next step. The best they can do at the moment if it's repeated incidents is a partial stadium closure.

Sheffield Wednesdays Kasey Palmer? Fuck sake Sky, you're shit. We're probably going to lose another Saturday 3pm game for them to correct it too.

They're more interested in survival than a cup run that would push their resources to the limit. We'll be more interested in our league run as well.

it’s the kind of stance that is needed though
there was a comment on the Sheff Weds forum about Sheff United fans getting into the ground and getting games forfeited - shows how trivial they think this is

Scum - and the chants of get the b**** off the pitch are definitely after the incident, clear as day there….
that’s a whole stand chanting, after they’ve seen him explain to the ref what happened, and it’s pretty clear what he was saying.
Scum, glad they’ll be gone next season
