Are many fans like this?

[enema of the state]

None of the incidents which you described are uncommon, especially the racism which has been coming back into Anfield, as well as into our away support, quite steadily for the last five or so years.

it never went away

the "trigger trigger trigger" brigade are stll at every lfc match.

this forum and kt makes me chuckle - so many young people who have grown up in the PC era of the late 1980's onwards all "shocked and horrified" that someone might say something racist at the game

suppressing the verbal expression of racism has not nor ever will solve the problem

I was there although down the Kop end of the main stand, and it was just booing as I remember it, although that's not to say it could've been something else where you were.

Only racism I've heard from our fans was Chelsea away last season, this group of nobeds I've seen a few times bunked in (the group that the obnoxious 'girl' with curly hair goes about with) were calling a few Chelsea players niggers, singing **** about Maureen having aids, and saying he couldn't wait for the Manc game 'Munich, Munich!'. *****.

sickening and appalling.

[rushscored4]

Let's be honest, we're ALL something-ist whether it's racist, gayist, Reecist, Mancist, Welshist, hairist, uglyist, fatist, Dunkist or one-off-the-wrist, we've all got phobias and issues of one kind or another...

[Reece]

I hate reecists

Well it had become a less prominent feature on match day for a spell.



As for being "shocked and horrified" at something racist being said at a game? Why should people have to sit at the ground and have some ignorant thug who is meant to be supporting the same team as them, verbally abuse them over their skin colour, accent etc? Sitting there and just accepting meekly that it happens is exactly the reason why it continues. Each time it gets reported raises the chances of those doing it getting caught, and maybe gives a chance for them to get banned and someone less ignorant who actually wants to follow the team to take their place in the ground.

I cannot agree more at this sentiment. Surrounding fans have a responsibility.

[Mumsafan]

I must be missing all this.

I haven't seen/heard any racism home or away since I started going regular, about three years ago,.

Odd.

You must be deaf then! There is always racism at away games and it always comes from the same group, who all travel on the same coach.


Reading was a crap place to go. They are another one of these ****e teams who play music when they score; they play some sort of war cry thing at the beginning of the game; and their stadium announcer can be heard in the Kassam Stadium!

No pubs about either!

Their stewards and police were **** as well. One steward was actually disabled and she couldn't walk properly - how the hell was she gonna sort anything?

However, we had fans there who made us all look thick ****s as usual. That prat with the banner about Rome - yeah mate cos we are all pure as the driven snow when it comes to hooliganism in Europe aren't we? Dickhead! And then all new chant to distance themselves from "English hooligans" - no-one will fall for that one yer idiots! Not with Heysel in their mind.

And then - the total utter cretin who started shouting at the top of his voice "You're just a **** club in Oxford!" Oxford?! ****in Oxford?! Get a map you moron!


Oh and to the weekend Dad who'd brought his horrible spoilt brat to the game - don't bother again - he obviously wasn't interested and one more kick of that seat would have seen him connect with my fist!

Breathe Sara, breathe

[Reece]

Or don't.

And then trying to get out the bloody place some **** hit the car! We'd pulled in in front of him about half a mile before and he'd beeped his horn and said something. We ignored it.

Anyway all of a sudden he just goes in the back of us cos he'd been concentrating on his kid which was loose in the car, and not on the road! Lasty leapt out the car and said "Yeah, you're not beeping yer ****ing horn now are you?!"

The colour drained from this fellas face as he tried to inspect the damage! Luckily for him there was none to our car.

I think someones broken a nail in this thread.

Better than the Villa game then, eh.

Yes it was better but there was a large part of the game where folk were just falling asleep.

Mums is right, everything about Reading on Saturday was ****.

It was probably the first time I've looked around at our away support and thought "****ing hell...this is ****ing embarrassing".

I would say a large chunk of "fans" in our end hadn't been to 10 Liverpool matches in their lives, let alone this season. It was a joke.

I expect it's a sign of things to come.

Check out these two fat ****ers. It's not a ****ing circus.
