I get the uproar for singing about the fire, as for the town full of asians/pakis song im sorry but come on, heard much worse at every ground without all this faux outrage.

It depends what you mean by much worse?

Racist chants are deplorable, much worse than assumptions of inter-breeding, jeez there are a number of posters on here who mock the Cas fans for the self-same thing.

Yes, the idiots singing theirs pathetic songs are to blame, but so are the stewards if they were aware of the situation & did nothing, & if they were, then the club are to blame, for employing them.

Ah but if the said idiots had sneaked in an opened bottle of Coke they'd be straight out.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Wonder what the reaction of the Bradford fans would have been had the chant been "Your just a town full of Asians"? Is that racist or factual? Will "Asian" be the next word to need asterixing out. Was it the word used or the facts hitting a sore point?
No doubt in a few years time the word Migrant will be the great forbidden word. Lets check the Tom and Jerry cartoons and Noddy books quickly!

I've rarely read so much ignorant rubbish in one post, which is saying something given the morons that frequent these boards!

Hearing worse elsewhere, doesn't make it right.

There is no defence for it. It is completely wrong on all fronts and should not be tolerated in any way.

You cant protect your kids from everything. They are going to hear things you don't want them to hear, but i don't want to take them to a place where people are singing songs such as that and it is tolerated.

I don't know what's worse, the fact it happened or the reaction on here?

Re: Club statement : Thu Aug 20, 2015 5:05 pm  

I'm not saying it's right it's just not that offensive and certainly doesn't deserve the uproar it seems to be causing.

Well after reading all the tripe that some people are putting say you shouldn't say this or you shouldn't say that. It must be only me that has spoken out of turn in my 50 years of life. When I was forced off the road by a Azad taxi driver many years ago who drove off and cost me a couple of hundred to fix the damage.It must be only me who commented bad things about the Dewsbury bombers who murdered a lot of innocent people also it must have only been me who asked why were the police trying to find the three sisters from Bradford that went to join ISIS with their kids it was their choice and then the husbands blamed the police for them doing it

I must be a bad man.

Oh I forgot to mention one of my good friends is a Pakistani and my sister-in-law is a Pakistani also.

I can't believe people have gone through life and not made some sort of racial or discriminant comment against an individual.

Nope. Only the idiots are to blame.

The stewards may have been able to stop it continuing but only the singers are to blame for the songs.

Yep just you. What's your point?

I can't believe, and am really disappointed, by how many "excuses" have been offered by by different posters on this thread.
I think the post by devils advocate - "racist chants are deplorable" is game, set and match for me and nothing more needs to be said. Yes; all clubs will have racists and I personally will support any club, my own included, in rooting them out and showing them as the ignorant buffoons that they are.
