I dont post much, I've read all the various posts so far and I personally was shocked by some of the behaviour I witnessed on Sunday but I thought I'd post what I received from a colleague at work who supports Chesterfield. This is a view from a non Barnsley fan. This was posted on the Chesterfield site……ring any bells? Big_Gay_Dan 08/04/200818:01 I just thought that I would share my horrific experiences of Sunday 6th April, 2008 – a day that I wont forget in a long while. It being FA Cup semi final day for championship teams Barnsley FC and Cardiff City. I’m originally from Hull, but I’ve been in the smoke for 20 years now, I’ve got a soft spot for the Tigers, but am a firm Arsenal supporter and an ardent England follower of 40 years, I am also a regular in the Globe at Baker Street, so I thought I’d pop my head in and see what was going on in terms of pre-match atmosphere…..what a mistake. The pub and the streets around were chocker with the worst level of thugs that I have ever come across in my entire life, all of whom were Cardiff ‘fans’. Now I know every club has it’s 2% of trouble making scrotes and Stone Island wearing granddads who should really know better, but this was something like I’ve never seen before. Supposed Cardiff ‘fans’ none of whom have probably been to more than one game this season were on a free for all to degrade and disgust as much as they could about England. Chants included ‘England is full of Bunkum’ and ‘English lovely person’ aimed in my direction because I had my Arsenal woolly hat on. I took one step in the Globe to see one idiot actually urinating on the floor to the delight of his mates who cheered him on to ‘urine on the English Bunkum’. This wasn’t the infamous Soul Crew this was blue shirt wearing ‘fans’. I was gobsmacked and took a step back, as I did a bottle hit the back of a Cardiff fan next to me, I presume it was aimed at me. He went steaming into the pub, and I left sharpish. As I walked away nothing but vile racist anti-English abuse was thrown in my direction. I was horrified, the Globe is a legendary England Pub and to see it treated in this way really cut me up. I’ve been to Cardiff on numerous occasions, to the millennium stadium to watch both football and rugby and I would never dream of treating, Wales, the Welsh or Cardiff in this way. I’ve seen trouble at games before, but the disgraceful behaviour witnessed here was something else. On my way back I past a pub with some Barnsley fans in, I was going to have a pint with them, but then about 15 Cardiff including a very fat family with woman and kids walked towards the pub and started shouting foul mouthed anti English abuse at the Barnsley fans inside. When the doormen wouldn’t let them in, the fat woman who looked a bit like the fat scouse bird off of Shameless, squatted down, removed a tampon from her bits and threw it at the pub window, where it stuck like a limpet. This was in front of her kids, and is an image that turned my stomach and will live with me forever. A club like Cardiff who are a fair sized championship Club should not have this kind of ‘fan’ in the 21st century. Having been back at work two days and sharing stories with friends and colleagues from across London and beyond I found that similarly disgusting incidents had happened elsewhere, one of my colleagues witnessed a Cardiff shirt wearing bloke in his 50s spit on a Barnsley shirt wearing child outside Euston Station! In Brentford, Ealing, Alperton and Camden Cardiff kicked off not just with Barnsley fans but with anyone who wasn’t Welsh, even in Reading on the way home they were causing trouble instead of celebrating. I want to share these terrible experiences with every club in the land – Cardiff city do not deserve a place in the FA Cup final on the strength of their fans behaviour, nor in the English Football league. I’m no Portsmouth fan and I know they have a good sized idiot following but I hope they stuff Cardiff in the final. This isn’t Portsmouth V Cardiff anymore, or Premier League V Championship…this is England V Wales. I’m proud of my country (and of The Globe my pub). I sincerely hope for the final it is full of genuine Portsmouth fans who I will be happy to share banter with rather than inebriated Welsh racist trouble makers with an agenda of hatred against anything English. COME ON ENGLAND. I’m sharing this message with fans of every team in our wonderful country. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD. WE SHOULD KEEP THE ENGLISH LEAGUE FOR ENGLISH TEAMS. Sorry for such a long post make of it what you will.
'squatted down, removed a tampon from her bits and threw it at the pub window, where it stuck like a limpet' Dirty *******, glad we stopped in Leicester Square where it was all Barnsley
Fully noted Leeds Tyke and unacceptable behaviour as I have said all along. Please take the time tonight to read my posts I have written. I have denied the urinating on Bobby statue due to police being next to it all the time, or at least in very close distance. And denied the racist (that wasnt even the words used, just abuse) of JCR and thats all, along with saying V signs, and W signs were seen by me from both sets of supporters all ages. That is honestly the worst I saw from any Barnsley or Cardiff fan but have believed every word told about idiots spitting, screaming, intimidating of our "fans" towards your fans (families). I thought the guy who told the story got the 2nd paragraph spot on in what I have been trying to say "Supposed Cardiff Fans", we couldnt stop these people drinking, getting a ticket or wearing a shirt, I doubt we can in future, I cant defend them and wont try to. We do sing anti English stuff, away fans sing anti Welsh stuff, I don't join in. Barnsley fans have told us how they saw Welsh flags being burned but I didnt but will take your word for it. It is both ways but the vast vast majority of it was from our lot towards you. The lot in question probably wont make an appearance again this season they certanly arn't one of the 13k loyals we get honestly. I havent heard any racial abuse at our ground this season in regards to calling someone a name due to their colour or infact ever. Some of our most successful players have been coloured, Earnie, Jerome, Gabbidon, Cohen grittihs, The Bennet brothers, JFH, Fan Zhiyi, the list goes on. This is why I will say I didnt hear it at Wembley, I belive the story about the fat sweat with the stinky tampax, but not the racial abuse which if you remember wasn't confirmed in the thread. All I ask is for people here to see where I am coming from. I have admitted that I dont communicate as I wish, I have also been backed by members when they say "He isn't trying to defend them", christ not even OJ's lawyer could, Its easy to say go away but I have done as asked and made a note of the above and replied to it, all I ask is you take note of what I have written in regards to what is right and what is wrong. It even got confusing earlier in trying to define SCUM, take note of the people here who did see nothing wrong, there arn't many but I bet they believe the horror stories too. Take note of what I said about Pompey the day before in smashing up Pubs pre game and finding them closed after and then fighting amongst themselves. It seems once I do agree to things pointed out people take the easy option with "**** off" or "We know it wasn't you" or "boring" but I cant turn the clock back, I wish I could and feel ashamed about it but its happened and its us and I guess Barnsley fans who have to deal with it now, were ashamed as proper fans and your fans may be scarred from the sights of it. Im not sure what else I can say really as its getting on my tits now aswell.

Its all been started by Barnsley. Am I expected to just let you spout what you like? Its obviously not a court room but democratics dosen't ork that way. If someone says 1927 please note or fao 1927 does that not tell you they would like my opinion? Not my fault you have trouble understanding it at least we agree that I have said it enough times now.
