"Supporter" banned for racism

[rushscored4]

By that standard, should you be calling them "Mancs" then?

Sorry, "Mancs" is obviously an accepted abbreviation of "Mancunians". I don't have a problem with people calling us Scousers, because that's what a few of us are, but I do object to being called (for example) a "Scouse *******" or somebody singing about putting us on a bonfire. I also find it equally unacceptable when our so-called 'fans' sing about Harold Shipman or crashing aeroplanes before you ask...

It was probably the right decision, but what exactly was said?

I have worries after the Goody "poppodom" comment that the UK has gone pc mad.

Goody was ripped apart for calling Shilpa "The Indian"

The world *is* a bit mad.

[ronan]

a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.




racism is by definition abusing someone because of their creed.
i.e skin colour or religon

so basically its allright to call them a manc ****

spot on

[Neil Young]

As I said in the previous thread about this same subject, no matter who they play thousands of Mancs sing abusive songs about Scousers yet that's not classed as racism and they can get away with it. I'm not condoning it but one knobhead says something offensive, presumably about one of United's black players and (quite rightly) he gets banned and fined but it creates all this negative publicity.

In the other thread racism was defined as not just about somebody's colour but their country of origin, i.e. you can't shout "you Welsh *******" at Craig Bellamy but it's OK to call Gerrard or Carragher a "Scouse *******...

There's a big difference mate.

Between what? If you're implying that you have to be a different colour to suffer from prejudice then surely that is in itself a form of racism?

A spectator caught chanting racist abuse during this season's home match against Manchester United has been given a three-year football banning order.
Jonathan McInally, from Back Lane in Little Crosby, was arrested following an undercover police operation during the game on March 3.

The sting, in which a plain-clothes officer was positioned in the Anfield Road Stand, was mounted after a complaint from a fellow spectator.

McInally was hauled before North Liverpool Community Justice Courts last week, where he pleaded guilty to racist chanting.

As well as an order banning him from all football stadia, the 25-year-old was fined £200.

A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: "We take this type of behaviour very seriously. We will not tolerate any type of racist chanting.

"Just because someone is at a football match, it does not mean that they can behave as they like. We will not stand for any racist behaviour."

Good to see they named and shamed the idiot

[The incredible igor]

200 quid fine is a bit harsh

not harsh enough in my opinion. The naming, shaming and banning almost makes up for it but a public stoning would have been nice
