    Genuinely not heard any racist abuse at Oakwell since the days of Campbell-Royce & Darren Moore playing for us although I always sit in the same seats & most of the people around me haven’t chanted anything in them 15 years (never mind anything racist!).

    Heard it plenty at away games & done nothing. Just don’t fancy challenging people who’ve probably had a few beers & the inevitable row that comes with it.

    I haven't ever said that I am a Briton either, but nor have I described myself as a "Brit". "Brit" is an abbreviation of "Briton", just as "Paki" is an abbreviation of "Pakistani".

    I remember that, alongside "The Tempest", "Great Expectations" and Tennyson's poetry, I studied Joseph Conrad's novel, "The Ni**er Of The Narcissus" for my 1965 GCE O-level English Literature examination. I wonder if that book is still on bookshop shelves.

    It is, but one has been used for decades as an offensive slur and the other is nowhere near as commonly used in that manner.

    It is clear that you are right about that.

    Booed Coventry taking the knee last night, then Palmer throughout the game.

    Yeah... They're normal fans.

    The Northern Millwall.

    Just think its crap to tar an entire set of fans with the same brush, regardless of rivalry. I wouldn't want that if some of our morons did something like that.

    Agree, but they're getting hard to defend when they then boo the player and the knee a few weeks after when they meet again. And it's not a minority.
