I'm starting this thread cos I think everyone should know about it. I might not get any thanks for posting it, cos it's sickening and depressing, but everyone who goes to games needs to do their bit to eradicate these ignorant ****s from our support.

Do you know what? I've been wondering for the past few months whether I should knock these games on the head, after all I've been skint anyway, and I've seen my team do the impossible, but do you know what, these Euro aways are a different type of game. They're like a drug. You cant stop going, no matter how har you try.
Nothing could have dampened my day today.
I went to a european cup semi final. For the second time in 3 years, the team I've adored all my life was in the semi of the European cup.
There's plenty that went wrong today that wouldn't have dampened my mood.
Our coach broke down on the M40 - So what.
We ran out of ale - So what
Wayno was on our coach - joke Wayne mate.
But do you know what, I for the whole of my life must have overestimated our support.
You see these players getting monkey chanted across europe. It brings shame on the game of Spain/France/Italy/wherever it happens, but you know what, it doesn't happen with MY TEAM.
Or so I thought.
2nd, half tonight, (or last night if you're reading this tomorrow), and I think Pennant mis-controlled...
I hear from behind me "******" and "Black ****"
Serious.
So I turn round, and the crowd I see is just watching the game.
So I turn back, then get a tap on my shoulder.
"What you looking for lad" This is a fella in his late 40's asking me this, so assuming he's of a decent calibre of supporter (been there done that type) I say "Just heard some **** say black ****"
"Yeah that was me, so ****ing what"
Now I couldn't believe my ears, so I just said "come on lad, no place for that here"
How does he reply?
BANG
Cracks me one, then his mates run over, so I throw a dig with my left (my gammy hand) and crack one, but there's 3 of them, and I end up about 3 or 4 rows down. People dive in the way, my mates step back to watch (thanks) and I'm left fronting these lads a few rows away who all want it.
I now notice that I've landed in a row of black fella's, 3 of them about 6 feet in height and looking like they're built from concrete. So I shout "racist pricks" and front the ****ers back.
The black fellas want nothing to do with, and it's left to me to front these lads, and their new found mates.
Anyway, this fella comes across, and tells me I'd be best out of the way, and leads me to the concourse underneath. The little ****e was only one of them and he ****in cracks me from behind with 2 of his mates on guard for stewards.
Cut the rest of the story short, the stewards lashed me out for my own safety, and the racists saw the end of the game.
Was I in the wrong to stan up to these pricks? The fella I cracked had a massive gash down his face, so if that dig makes him think twice before shouting racist ****e at a game, then my 3 slaps I got were worth it.
Anyway. I know this doesn't apply to all our support, it's only ever the 2nd time I've heard racist comments at the game, but do you know what it's left a sour taste in my mouth. I dont fancy these games no more. Not because of the thought of bumping into these 6 pricks again, I'd be happy to. But because of the thought that these ***** are part of our support.
No win - Dont care, 2nd leg
Coach broke down - Dont care, still got there.
These ***** - Do care. I thought this was out of our game.
A final note, if any of these 6 lads involved happen to read this site, then let me say this.
6 of you got 3 digs in between you. thats 0.5 digs per person.
I got 1 proper dig in, and busrt the fella's face. Thats 1 dig per person.
I WON.
RACIST PRICKS.
Anyway, was I in the wrong?
