Craig Bellamy / Daily Mail - sheep-sh***er - racism (merged)

[Thunder Bolt]

Can we assume the Mail will publish a page stating that we are in the clear?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Incredible...
Reporting "racial" abuse whilst watching on TV. Do you really have nothing better to do!?
Any money it was some armchair Liverpool fan from Surrey aswell

 

[tezz79]

seasiders! WTF ?

Brighton and Hove Albion | News | Latest News | Latest News | Albion Praised by Kick It Out

So all this fuss because of what one person (not even at the game) THOUGHT they heard .... Pathetic !!!
Says more about the jobsworth that reported it than it does about us fans

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I believe you can still shoot the Welsh with crossbows in certain towns.

I think the law is that you can kill a Scot, with a bow and arrow, but only if he is armed and you happen to be within the city of York.

Just like the Sieg Heil slur at Millwall years ago

 

[Triggaaar]

Does that mean Sid gets his season ticket back?

Apparently you are able to kill a Welshman within the (Roman) walls of Chester (Deva) with a longbow.

Where can i buy a longbow?

I thought that law had been updated for the 21st century and its now a can of strongbow

"Fans of the club were heard chanting 'Seasiders' during the Carling Cup tie, but one member of the public misheard the chant while watching on television and reported Albion to The FA, as well as alerting the media." - from the official site.

Reminds me of the (urban myth?) story of being investigated for having far-right supporters at The Goldstone, but and enquiry found the chants were 'Seagulls'...

PS - "The FA wish to thank the club for proactively co-operating on this matter. The FA, Kick It Out and Brighton and Hove Albion do not condone any form of discrimination or abuse."

So there'll be no more 'gay chants' at us then?

 

[Brightonfan1983]

May i advise everyone to email reportdiscrimination@TheFA.com on Saturday after we take our usual barrage of homophobic abuse

This

It drives me mad, what bellend could actually be bothered to report it ?
Bet it was a palace supporter

 

[ants4t]

fantastic PR cover up by the club, Bellamy was getting all kinds of abuse when he was taking corners in front of the North Stand

All kinds of abuse, yes, but how much of it was racist? He gets abuse because he's a twat that loves winding up the opposing fans - I think him being Welsh is a side issue.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

As they were watching the game on TV , its more likely they were a plastic Palace fan

 

[amexee]

My guess is, the culprit could be nearer to home, maybe a falmerite with the hump

This !!!

He's a cock & I'm sure he don't worry too much about the abuse when he checks his bank balance anyway

 

[catfish]

The Mail have just announced they're introducing a corrections column similar to those in other papers. I wonder if this non story will feature?

Sieg Heil chants

you're not wrong.

But just because the songs weren't captured on TV, doesn't mean they didn't happen....

 

[Captain Sensible]

I wonder if it was Sid that made the call?

No seriously, this is utterly ridiculous. I mean 1 Person, watching TV? Hard of hearing or watching on a bad tv? CRAZY

So next time I hear Homophic chanting at us I'll contact Kick it out and the FA and get about 2000 fans Investigated?

Maybe we should actually, I hear the argument that some are making that they don't want to have to explain what taking it up the bum is to their kids.
