Racism from fans - Racism from manager. Oh then they complain about homophobic chants

[LamieRobertson]

Quite simply passing judgement on what the nation heard.

Now are yOU so stupid as to think that Gas's command of English is so poor that he didn't know how it would be taken when he said he called black people Negro's in his country.

Don't be so bloody stupid, of course he did.

Oh and yes I do know what the spanish word for black is, it seems unfortunate now in hindsight that Gas does to!

yes, it was a stupid thing to say, of course it was. don't make him a racist, now, does it, when you compare that to the rantings of some elderly people, or the KKK.

see, now i'm not an expert but there was no malice in what he said, isn't that what racism is? malice against a different ethnicity? it would be like saying oh so and so over there is black instead of saying so and so is coloured, and then some pratt coming up and saying YOU CANT SAY THAT.

Completely wrong. There doesn't have to be malice for a comment to be racist.

Big Ron's mistake on ITV, was a racist comment, that offended some, but spoken without malice.

Through the 1970's some expressions used to describe black people were racist, but not spoken with any malice.

Simple. You've got shit for brains. You're running away from the story, you don't know what you're on about and making your own one up.

Arguing against that point only further embarrasses yourself. So, what right do you have to pass judgement on this when - and there's simply no argument in this - you're an empty-headed liar?

Don't be so offensive you little oik.

The fact is your own club investigated it's own supporters.

Only one outcome possible, idiot.

Unfortunately for you, the tv cameras microphones picked up the chanting for the nation to hear.

Oxford, The City of Dreaming Spires, is famous the world over for its University and place in history. For over 800 years, it has been a home to royalty and scholars, and since the 9th century an established town, although people are known to have lived in the area for thousands of years.

Oh dear, the gimpboy is even too stupid to recognise his own stupidity.

To be fair, that does take some doing.

Hmm... quick search of the internet reveals...

A promising Oxford United footballer has been fined and warned about his future conduct after posting “appalling” racist comments on the Internet.

Midfielder Sam Deering has been reprimanded by the club after writing the comments on the social networking site Facebook.

The teenager, who is currently in hospital with a broken leg, referred to his nurses as “f***** pakis” on Sunday after a friend asked him if they were attractive.

Fans and anti-racism campaigners branded the comments unacceptable — with one calling for Mr Deering to be sacked.

Trevor Lambert, chairman of Oxford United Supporters' trust OxVox, said: “Racism in any form is totally unacceptable."

Oxford United have shirked their responsibilty on reprimanding a player convicted of a racial offence, reports James Beard

A promising young footballer was recently convicted of a racial offence. The case involves a footballer at a Second Division club and, although it touches on issues which have been at the centre of public debate, has received scant media attention. It deserves more.

In January, Ross Weatherstone, an 18-year-old central defender with Oxford United, took a taxi ride home after a night out with three friends in Reading. Racial epithets were aimed at the driver, Zafrad Naeem, and a struggle ensued which resulted in the panel screening off the driver being smashed and the taxi crashing. Zafrad Naeem ended the evening unconscious on the pavement. Weatherstone and his chums were charged with racially aggravated disorderly conduct.

At the trial in mid-August, three of the four young men – including Weatherstone – were found guilty, and fined £500 plus costs. Oxford supporters then waited for their club to take firm and decisive action of some sort. However, firm and decisive are not adjectives that can reasonably be applied to the brief statement that was released: “OUFC follows a strict policy on racial abuse and has done for many years. However, players and officials of OU support Ross Weatherstone at this difficult time.”

This “strict” policy on racism apparently means ignoring the plight of the real victim, and issuing wholly inappropriate condol*en*ces to the guilty party. It would thus seem deliberately to damage relations with local eth*nic minority communities.

Unsurprisingly, many Oxford fans were angry at the statement. Many feel Weatherstone should be sacked, not cosseted. The anti-racist football body Kick It Out! accused the club of “fudging” the issue, and described the second sentence of the statement as “inane”. They called for Weatherstone either to be sack*ed or at least to be given a long suspension. The club entirely failed to mention the in*cident (or even its own statement) on the official website. Protests from supporters were ignored.

A second statement has now been released. It announced that Weatherstone would be suspended without pay for two weeks, and that he would undertake three months of community work. Since he is injured, the suspension is irrelevant, and the fine – although the maximum allowed – is one commonly imposed on players for relatively minor infringements. There are as yet no details of what his community service will entail.

“Racially aggravated” offences were introduced in the government’s Crime and Disorder Act of 1998, specifically designed to prevent racist violence and harassment. The Home Office says of such offences: “Racist crime does not simply injure the victim or their property... trust and understanding built up over many years between communities can be eroded by the climate of fear and anxiety which can surround a racist incident.”

Football is a community game, and some clubs, in conjunction with Kick It Out!, are making much-needed moves to build bridges with local ethnic communities. Inaction in a case such as this can have damaging effects on such involvement. What would a young Asian footballer think of joining Oxford now? What do the club’s handful of non-white players think?

Kick It Out! has described the punishment as “meaningless”, although local community leaders have expressed hope that it will lead to the player’s rehabilitation. It does not appear that Weatherstone will be making a public apology for his actions.

First you throw racist abuse at Craig Bellamy for being Welsh, then there is widespread coverage of bha fans complaining about homophobic chants at your games, now poyet comes out with his most recent rant about it being perfectly acceptable to call black people negroes in his eyes.

Well you may get all the luck going your way when you play on the pitch but you need to decide which way you want things off the pitch, before you gain a reputation of being the racist champions of the football league.

You give us solid evidence that were racist and prove that youre right or just shut up
