newsted Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Ah, the old "we're not racists, but..." Arseholes. Violent fucked-up nothing-to-lose arseholes I expect too, so difficult to confront unless you've got a motivated well-trained army with you. People, man.

Dave Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 http://www.millwallfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-11th-feb-651638.aspx Millwall 'deeply shocked and appalled' Everyone at Millwall Football Club is deeply shocked and appalled by the footage shown on Sky Sports News Special Report on Monday evening. As a club Millwall has been at the forefront of the battle to eradicate racism from football, being the first in the country to introduce an Anti-Racism Trust, and in spite of the incidents shown in this programme, tremendous strides have been made. However, it’s a sad fact that a small minority of people in society still hold racist views and some individuals bring them into football stadiums throughout the country. We firmly believe that football itself is not the problem, but rather football is committed to being part of the solution. At Millwall we operate a zero tolerance policy in which we target, arrest and ban any fan identified displaying racist or abusive behaviour. In relation to the Leeds United match featured in the Sky programme, we became aware of allegations made initially via Twitter which were picked up elsewhere within minutes of the match ending. We immediately launched an investigation but there were no reports from officials, police, stewards or media at the ground, including Sky TV who broadcast the game live, to substantiate the allegations at the time. We spoke in person to the Leeds United player in question and asked him if he was aware of being subjected to any racial abuse. He told us this had not been the case and, on that basis, we therefore had nothing to substantiate allegations of racial abuse and thus refuted them. Now that this new evidence has come to light, Millwall FC has requested that Sky make all footage available to the Police, which they have agreed to do. We will assist in identifying the individuals concerned with a view to the strongest possible action being taken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Some proper racism from our fans at Tottenham, was confined to a few idiots TBF. Yeah - there was one bloke behind me (either simple or pissed or a combination of both) who sporadically threw out the odd racist comment. I think he then tried to even up the racism count by referring to Phil Dowd as a 'fat white c###'. I know I shouldn't have, but I actually found that strangely amusing.

AlanSkÃrare Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Frightening how apparent and real the presence of right-wing extremism in football has become again. This anti-semitic violence is another dimension of racism that hasn't been rooted in European football historically. A direct result of the ignorance towards this issue shown by UEFA, these groups will continue to increase their use of football as a platform for violence and discrimination of minorities. Fucking sickening what's happend to Spurs fans this season. It's been an ongoing issue in Holland with Ajax for quite a while as well. UEFA not acting with more emphasis on these things is sad more than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hooliganism on the continent is much more 'political' than over here, with Ultras aligning themselves as either Far Right/Facist/Anti-Communist and Far Left/Communist/Anti-Facist. As well as the general anti-semitism towards Jews you find on the far-right, amongst facist football hooligans for some reason there's an assumption that all Jews are Communist sympathisers, and so the chance to stick the boot in to a perceived 'Jewish team' gives them the opportunity to cement their militant-political credentials.

Aye. That prejudice stretches back quite far. It's such a confused ideological environment it's laughable. All Jews are supposedly communists because of Marx and what happend in the build up to WW2. They also control the world and killed Jesus. Don't know if this was reported in England. However, UEFA didn't make any effort to condemn it. http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-news/watch-hungarian-soccer-fans-disrupt-israeli-anthem-with-anti-semitic-slurs-1.459251 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were also chants of “Palestine, Palestine,” “stinking Jews,” “Buchenwald” and “Heil Benito Mussolini.” As if Mussolini worshipping facists actually give half a fuck about the plight of Palestinians. It's like when you get pro-Israel conservative politicians who suddenly are all about gay and women's rights when it's a useful stick to beat all Muslims with.

The College Dropout Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Tottenham (the area) has a very large Jewish population and thus a lot of fans. A few of their owners/people in charge have been Jewish at the very least. Sugar & Levy the obvious ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Know two families of spuds fans, all Jewish, though not all spuds fans will be.

Whatever happend to the debate regarding their use of "yid"? I have quite a few friends of jewish descent and some jewish heritage myself. I know a lot of jewish people who aren't fond of the term and fully agreed with those who weren't very amused by Spurs fans "reclaiming it". This is a good piece explaining the complexity of the problem. http://www.economist.com/blogs/gametheory/2012/11/football-and-racist-language Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
