Hopefully demblades fans will keep their traps shut after they faced complaints from Bournemouth (Nov) and Luton (Dec) players for racist comments.....

Interesting how that hasn’t had quite the same national exposure as what happened yesterday.

Doesnt change the abhorrent nature but I wonder why the situation at Hillsborough is singled out more than others that have happened over recent months.

Plenty hand wringing on Stalk on this topic but then it's the leading place for anti Chansiri posts as well. 

That won't be racist of course

 

Even when written in the style of a 1970's Benny Hill show sketch.

It's getting national hand wringing coverage because Infantino lumped us in with the Udinese incident. 

The club need to deal with this sensibly and transparently and hand everything over to plod.

Do you not remember last season?

Do you not remember what happened to Darren Moore throughout most of his time at Hillsborough

Not just that disgusting tweet after the Peterborough game, but the constant mocking he suffered from the fan base with his speech. 

The chairman as well

This season so far

Munoz was told to eff off back to Spain by the WTID person who wrote the Palmer tweet.

Plus we've had the Sunderland incident.

It's getting the coverage it thoroughly deserves.

Also, there's been plenty of bans and coverage for racist abuse this season. That Crystal Palace fan for example that abused Son, the Wolves fan that abused Rio Ferdinand etc.

In other news, what DR said to the (so called) referee after the game...

 

"In the first half some situations were maybe 50-50 and there was more of one side getting a little bit of an advantage".

The pertinent point is what is the solution. Whilst the incidents this season are not in any way acceptable, ultimately they are undertaken by individuals.

You can deal with them after the event for sure but how do you prevent it in the first place. Ok making examples of them, banning orders etc. You could threaten stadium closures, points deductions but that simply punishes the 99.99% of fans who do know the boundaries.

Football sadly attracts an element of society, whether it be racists or those seeking violence. The latter is policed and it still happens. The arrest numbers go up.

I should not really mention the other forum but whilst there is a thread on this incident, indeed another one suggesting there was coin throwing, at the same time there is another asking "what is happening to the protests"

Protests whether they are intended to be peaceful, invariably lead to raised tension, anger, potential violence.

At the same time as being concerned about crowd behaviour there is threads advocating actions that could cause a catalyst for more.

It's like the connection fails to be grasped, that the anti Chansiri message spouted on there can indirectly lead to racism elsewhere.

If I was the Wednesday manager and a fan told me / tweeted to tell me to "fuck off back to Scotland", I can't say I would think of it as racism.

Indeed, if my record in the hot seat was as pitiful as that of Mr Munoz, I would take it as normal / understandable criticism.

The boundaries of what is / isn't deemed as racism have moved quite a bit over the years. As I've said previously on here, if someone called me a "Scottish ****", I would giggle. Sticks and stones and all that.

Others don't really have a right to be offended on my behalf but that's life nowadays apparently.

It's simple @EastCraigsOwl

Palmer you cheating ****. - not racist

Palmer you cheating black **** - racist

Munoz, fuck off out of your club you useless **** - not racist

Munoz fuck off out of out club you Spanish **** - prob not racist but when you add a nationality or other qualifying  comment then you're straying into dangerous territory

Its becoming increasingly toxic at Hillsborough at the moment, it's been bad enough with the abuse towards Chansiri & his family, plus as another poster mentioned abuse towards Moore after the Peterborough game now we've got this incident with Kelsey Palmer on top of that.

You can blame the ref for the environment he was creating, you can blame Palmer for gestering towards the crowd but at the end of the day you can respond in a different way than what the so called supporter did.

What we could've done with is Wilks hitting the target to make it 2-2 just before it all kicked off but yet our strikers couldn't score if they carried on till now.

It's not hard, just don't be a racist bell end. I was furious Saturday, still a bit pissed off now to be honest, but can't imagine why I'd bring race (or anything else) into it. 

In terms of what can be done in advance, unfortunately not much, some people are just racist bell ends. There were c29k there Saturday, only 1 felt it necessary to racially abuse a player. You can't legislate for dick heads...

We don't want football to become a sanitised experience. I mean I have attended the odd game as a neutral and just found i was dis-engaged from the whole thing. Not invested in it at all. 

(Personal anecdote alert) I learnt my lesson many moons ago at Highbury in the infamous 7-1 defeat, the 3rd was definitely offside in my eyes anyway, I marched down the steps in the stand to berate the lino. You catch the eye of the steward but more the nearby Arsenal fans who merrily took the piss and the Wednesday fans all "he's not with me" stare to the floor. I mean its funny when you jump up to celebrate a non existent goal, or you demand a penalty but no one else does. 

So when the red mist does descend but the reality is you have to slap yourself and stop before you go too far.

That statement is racist. My missis was subject to a similar comment when we lived in West Yorkshire when we lived there. “Fuck off back to where you come from… “ was the comment.

To which she replied…. “Back across the road to my house?” He didn’t like that. 

The culprit went onto dish out more abuse, and it was part of the police’s attempts to get the absolute fucktard sentenced for various indiscretions.

Don’t disagree but why this incident and nothing nationally or even to any significant extent locally in relation to the horrific treatment of DM, DC etc. Clearly more visible you might say but still seems strange that this particular incident has been picked on, that’s all I’m saying.

Maybe it’s just a timing and coincidence with other events.

Spot on. This happens a lot and I don't understand what's difficult about distinguishing one from the other. Maybe a flowchart is required.

I think it's easy whatever white people say that is critical is deemed racist whereas non white people can never be racist ever.

You've either been accustomed to the Owlstalk politics section or have had the unfortunate experience of listening to an Owen Jones podcast

Because it's well known that what you wrote there is incorrect. Of course non white people can be racist  

I'll provide a couple of examples but I must warn you of the content. It's a tough listen 

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/face-woman-who-told-man-20146971

https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-34549590

Plus there's the likes of Naz Shah believing 'raped white girls should shut up for the sake of diversity' and some of the language Suella Braverman has used against those naughty individuals coming on boats.

I can appreciate sometimes sarcasm is not easy to spot in a post. 

And the 2nd part of my statement should have been asterisked accordingly.

I did frequent said Stalk section for far too long and you are 100% correct it would have been uttered by many in there.

I can safely say my posts in there did not accord to the consensus.

The most racist comment I have heard in the last few years was a chap of Asian origin giving his views on the black section of society.

So my post was very much tongue in cheek
