You’re opinion. You’re entitled to it. You’re also part of the problem by trying to sweep it under the carpet.
Racism has no place at Oakwell. I criticise players if they have a bad game but not based on colour or creed. I don't care if they are black, white, yellow, brown red or anything else as long as they give their all for the cause of Barnsleyfc. I think the vast majority of Barnsley fans fans think the same. Shame on those who call players names.
Don’t get me wrong, if there’s been racism shown it’s abhorent and needs punishing. I’ve spoken to others from the match though and they heard nothing of the sort, I certainly didn’t
The kid is genuine and really upset over it. Guess you have 3 choices. 1 stay quiet. 2 report it. But you need witnesses. 3 smash their teeth out. I prefer 3.
Fairly obvious really. A day out at a club that you expect to be a friendly, non threatening club that is therefore likely to be a friendly day out. Accy, Burton, Brentford and the like.
Love violence, hate racism. Kick it (and their teeth) out. I've always found violently assaulting someone solves most problems. Scientific fact: people definitely stop being racist once teeth are lost through an act of physical abuse.
Again, Plobby, I understand your reasoning- however, even in a democracy, there is not (& shouldn’t be) total freedom of speech. People cannot go beyond the realms of decency - we have anti-racism etc laws to protect us from spoken bile! Extreme views/speaking of this sort promotes hatred & is criminally offensive in our country, hence banned groups are prosecuted. It must be stamped out of our society - I have never seen our nation so divided as now (even during the traumas of the miners strike with worker pitted against worker)
Sad to hear that other people have heard that. I’m glad I didn’t hear anything racist. What I do think is that it’s good that when it does happen it’s very rare & condemned by everyone. It was only 10 years ago I’d regularly hear Odejayi, Moore, Campbell-Ryde etc suffer racial abuse. I hope the amount of racist abuse decreases as much in the next 10 years as it has in the last 10 years.
Why is that aimed at me? I've simply said lets assess the facts before launching into something. Never said it was funny nor acceptable.
What about in this day and age of smartphones at least two people video the perpetrators and send video to the club/ Police may use it to identify the culprits. (Sorry I don't hold with the "grass" "snitch" if you do this mentality). The only way to stamp this out is to take action. 3 is not an option as it is just as bad and taking the law into your own hands will get you in bigger trouble than the racists
