Whats wrong with football?

[NotHarryAgombar]

The behaviour at Millwall yesterday was reprehensible if unsurprising given what happened in the FA cup tie a year or two ago.

However all clubs have their share of racist morons within their fan base - sadly, STFC is no exception, as has been demonstrated by some on this thread.
We still have a long way to go to eradicate racism in the UK, and this Government actively encourage it with their jingoistic nonsense.

From an away fans experience it's a completely different experience

Yeah I have heard many stories about the F Troop and the Bushwhackers.

To be fair they've done up the surrounding area but you wouldn't want to get lost near the ground

[Peter Venkman]

I have met loads of 'Wall fans and they are all decent blokes TBF.

But they do revell in their reputation and are all a bit "wide boy" and gobby.

Hated going to the old Den though, horrible place down Cold Blow Lane.

[TheDukeOfBanbury]

The New Den is relatively safe going by train and you are aware on everything going on around you.

The Old Den however, one of my scariest grounds to visit.
Remember an FACup game where we were 2-1 down and scored 2 in the last 15 mins. When the winner went in was like putting your hand in a wasp nest. Bermondsey had truly woken up

Despite this they also have some decent fans as well.

I was once falsely accused and nearly  arrested by BR transport police for smashing a train window as the train left Swindon station against Millwall. The train guard falsely accusing me of smashing it, however it was clearly obvious that part of the brick was next to my foot. Ohh the delight when a burly Millwall fan was defending me to the guard, it wasn’t Facking Millwalll. Luckily the driver acknowledged that local Swindon fans had “bricked” the train and how could I say to the Millwall fan that I was Swindon Didcot station couldn’t come soon enough and after leaving my details I left the train thinking another close shave Supporting Swindon.
I didn’t even call the guard a cant.

I work with one whose followed them for 30+ years and he's a decent guy but he will openly talk about the idiots that support them and how dangerous it is for away fans if you make your own way to the ground rather than by coach or along the protected path from Bermondsey station

[Honest Lee]

While that might be arguable, it is also the case that racism is on the rise again (pauld)

Proof please !

I thought BLM was all about police brutality in the USA, what has it got to to with football in England?

A 57 year old man(caucasian) was shot dead by a policeman in Swindon. I do not see much of an uproar over that.

Perhaps if Flashheart lived in the UK he might be a little better informed.

[flammableBen]

I think it's the white straight men who are the real victims in modern society

It's to do with highlighting racism and inequality. Football is full of racism, hence football.

What does this have to do with racism?

If it was a white policeman shooting a black person it would make national news.  If a white policeman shoots a white person there isn’t such a big fuss.

[The Grim Reaper]

Having been watching football from the early 80’s I’d say there is far less racism these days. Back then bananas would be thrown onto the pitch at black players along with monkey chanting etc. I’m not saying racism has been eradicated but it does not exist like it once did, I certainly haven’t seen an increase of it in our country. The FA and FL both run anti racism campaigns which I fully applaud. The Kneeling thing has run its course, kneeling before every game would be like having a 2 minutes silence before every game for Remembrance Day etc. My personal opinion is that linking the death of an American career criminal to football was wrong in the first place and just another way for Sky to grab media attention globally.

[Honest Lee]

People on here are blinkered to what is happening in our country.
I recommend that a view of Alex Belfield on Youtube could be of assistance.

Which in the current climate is both expected and justified.

Probably would, maybe not in such a big way. It's incredibly unlikely to cause much fuss about the oppression and discrimination the poor white man suffered in the course of being shot. Unless the Waxy Lemon needs money that is.

[Ginginho]

Just a brief Google tells you he's a far right sensationalist cunt.

Don't think i'll be watching any of his Youtube videos, thanks.

[Honest Lee]

You will be watching The Vicar Of Dibley at Christmas then  

 O and BTW lets defund the police as wished for by BLM
