Anybody else see this?

Pretty shocking stuff, people in the ground just seemed to accept it.

I cant be alone in that I see and hear racism pretty much everyday of my life, not sure why football would be any different?

Fuck me, racist fans at Millwall. Who'd have thought it?

You'll be telling me the Pope is Catholic next.

Didn't think that would be put online, thanks for the link.

That's awful, unbelievable that no one came forward.

  :nod: same here

That's true.

In the end it wore me down so much I decided to join the EDL.

i never thought that i'd sympathise with the EDL's ideology but i also joined this week.

They're not afraid to stand up to people who are enemies of this great nation of ours.  It made sense to join.

As for the original post, the geezer making monkey noises looks like he probably communicates like that most of the time.

I did watch this, and i thought it was disgusting. Really upsets me that such behaviour is actually being accepted as "social norm" these days. It doesnt just stop at racism, its the same for any crime. Punishments in this country are too soft, and poeple go around thinking they can get away with blue murder, probably because they will.

Just out of curiosity, is Amir your real name?

No, but I'm moving to a muslim country next week, maybe I should change it to that?

Absolutely, casual racism (I.e jokes etc) seems to be as active as it ever has been.

If it's still as prevalent a problem in football as it's currently being made out to be in the media, then clubs should place a few people around the ground in empty seats with hidden cameras and give an immediate life-ban to anyone caught on film giving out racial abuse like the fan in this video. Wouldn't be a particularly difficult thing to implement and would go some way to immediately rooting out some problem supporters.
 
Whether they're actually there or not, i reckon the advertised threat alone of having potential hidden operatives with cameras, and the potential for a lifetime ban if caught using racial abuse/ throwing coins etc., would force a few to reconsider their behaviour.

It was not the easiest interview but the Millwall Cheif Exec looked shifty as anything on the piece. As I mentioned on the other thread they interviewed the player and seem to suggest that if he didn't hear it it didn't happen!
