      Racism in the Premier League
      Feb 03, 2015 10:55:20 am
      Hi,
      I am an undergraduate student looking into football fans views of racism in football. I am trying to collect data via fan forums and would be very appreciative if you could spare a minute to complete a short anonymous survey.
      Many Thanks,
      http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/143952UQGFL
      LFC for life :)

      In stoppage time at the end of the first half, around 46:40, Sakho gets the ball and is dallying around with it, not quite sure what to do.  Then you can hear one of our supporters clear as day yell out "pass it, coon!"

      oh but it's only other clubs that have racist supporters, right? 

      This is what I was saying when that Chelsea fans in the tube story happened.  We will never get racism out of football if every club says "oh it's only other clubs that have racist supporters."

      there are racist supporters at every club.  Best way to deal with it is for each club to clean its own house instead of pointing the finger at other clubs.

      1 - You have posted no evidence, do so and then you may get a reaction as...
      2 - The only source at present is you and you're hardly reliable.

      I'll get a video up it later today.

      Although I just said in my post the exact moment in the match when it happened, it wouldn't exactly be hard to look it up on your own.

      Shocking if true

      1. That one of our own fans would treat a black player in such a way
      2. No one around the idiot didnt do him

      Because of 2 I find it hard to believe.

      As others have said Fed we only have your word for it.

      Having said that I do agree with you that we more than likely have racist supporters. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a little blinkered.

      The assertion without a 100% credible back up is worse than disgraceful.
      If proof of the racist filth is forthcoming the culprit should be identified and banned.
      If none transpires the same should apply to the mischief maker.

      While Fed hasn't provided any evidence, so far, does anyone really think that such things would never be shouted out in the crowd at Anfield?

      Can't remember the game but I'm sure one of our own was making monkey gestures to a Manc player on loan at this particular club we were playing.

      Given an opportunity it would continue, of that I have no doubt.

      Football is a microcosm of society in general.

      As such; there is every chance that racists exist in our numbers just as there's every chance that we have radicalised Muslims in our number. Why would anyone be surprised if there are?

      I'm still not sure how any of this is either news or being worthy of much discussion. All right thinking people know racism is not tolerable: is there much else to say?

      What a F***ing cheap shot with the Muslim reference, you could also add Rapist, murderers, Paedophiles etc etc to our support base.

      I would be embarrassed yer tw*t.

      Like I said;  a "microcosm" of society. Am I wrong?  :confused-smiley-013:

      If it helps your 'pain'... as a microcosm of society - there are also bound to be white Christian paedophiles in our ranks too.

      Why would news that there are racists (black and white) in our ranks come as a surprise?

      Ain't that the truth.

      When I go down the pub nowadays to socialise and have a chat (as ya do) albeit it not with the professors and doctorates of this world  :D I sit round a table and find most folk with their heads down in their phones all night looking up sh*t on Google or whatever. Not too dissimilar to Anfield by the looks.

      At least us Luddites can hold a conversation, and sing a song or two...

      If the accuser has no evidence his motives are up for scrutiny.
      If the evidence is produced and the culprit ID'd he would be the subject of disciplinary measures by either the club or the authorities.
       
      Where do you get off with the personal remarks?
      The facts are as they are as explained above; alleged racist language cannot be tolerated much less somebody using the allegation for ulterior motives.

      I'm very surprised it hasn't come out on other media sources, considering the hot button subject it has been, of late.

      You'd have thought so mate.  Not seen or heard a mention of it either online or tv, not that that means it didn't happen but I'd find it strange that nobody else seems to have picked up on it.

      To be fair federer is a pedantic pain in the arse but he always backs up his views etc so I hope he can post the video.

      Not to throw a firecracker into the mix but I was listening to City Talk this morning and Neil Atkinson (The Anfield Wrap) inferred to racism at Anfield and he was talking about the match on Sunday. Obviously he never went into detail but the lad sits on The Kop and said he's disappointed at the inability of some supporters to support the team through thick and thin and some of the vitriol he hears is unacceptable.

      As for none of the rags/sly sports reporting anything, they also didn't report the munters singing 'always the victims' and 'justice for the 39' amongst other sh*te they decided to bile onto the pitch.
