Lrrr Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Trying to phrase this delicately, obviously racism has no place in football and its horrendous that its happened, but just comparing it to the england game where it was stopped twice and carried on following fifas guidelines. Did the Yeovil game stop once? I imagine it's likely that Yeovil's opponents will go through as it was Yeovil's fans, but given Yeovil were about to take a penalty and could make it even with a quarter of the game to go. It feels horrible to even type out the notion it could be thought of but does this set a precedant that a club could walk off claiming rasict abuse in a game they're winning to be awarded a win? Edit - Must have misread something just seen they scored their pen and it put them 1-0 up, so at least the 2nd part can be disregarded in this part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkymatt Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 It was the haringey players that walked off. Game apparently likely to be replayed but perhaps under certain conditions, closed doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Chants about Tommy Robinson. Chanting England at a box of Asian people. Heard lots of people using the P word, lots of people saying get out our country. Just vile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturman 1 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Fan on RB states the GK squirted water over the Yeovil fans and said no racism chants whatsoever!! He then said he's a qualified ref as if it meant something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Robinson and his cronies contribute the sum total of **** all to society. He might belong in the 1930s (like Trump et Al) but he certainly has no place today.

Not quite sure what fining a club would do, unless they have failed to act on previous incidents and not banned the offenders. Other than that, how is any club supposed to stop an individual or a group of individuals shouting out anything at a game, they are powerless to act before, only after the event.

I'm on the fence. I don't necessarily think it is a racist chant and would like a conversation to establish if it is of not. I wasn't there today, so I don't know in what context these chants were sung so I'm going to just concentrate on the chant rather than it being chanted today. The question is, is singing a chant that a town is full of Asians racist or not? Or is it something else like Xenophobic etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
