Chelsea in Paris

[Czechmate]

It is deplorable what the Chelsea fans did , but honestly does it justify interviewing the black guy on the news , reported on the national news for two days as basically headlines . They pushed him and sung 'we are racists' , it is wrong I agree but did they punch him ? did they hurt him ? I know he shouldn't needed to but why did he not try the next carriage ?
I think it has been blown out of all context , there are many more important issues in the world , especially at the moment unfortunately ! Ban them from football , that's about it !

Exactly, hes on the FRONT page of the metro, and they loved throwing in the picture of him with Nigel Farage hoping to smear him by association, meanwhile on PAGE 13 you get the story about the Muslim bloke arrested with a knife, hammer and ISIS flag on his way to behead a British Soldier being found guilty....sums up the media for me.

Much as I'm no fan of Farage or "Geezahs", it's ridiculous what they've done to the pair of them in order to make a sellable front page in an election year.

Lets face it though, it's true of anything the media does. Not trying to score points, but whether it's immigrant related or a football fan, the real news and the details are hidden away.

It's bloody ridicolous isn't it. Thought I would watch the video, and the guy who's face is plastered all over the media wasn't even singing, in fact I would go as far as saying he doesn't even look to be part of that group. Wrong place wrong time. As for the picture with Farage to try and prove a point, pathetic.

Exactly, if he was accused of fighting for the Taliban against British forces there would be the usual coterie of tosspots on here parroting their mantra about 'preferring to wait for evidence blah blah blah, doesn't apply here though, because he's accused of the worst crime of all , RACISM!!!!

You're accusing other people on NSC of having a mantra?

Agree Bold.

Everyone picks on poor little Chelsea.

Of course, for me it doesn't matter which club they were representing. They were British football fans behaving appallingly.

I'm sure that had they been French fans on British soil then the French would have been appalled.

Let's hope how they face some sort of justice is a lesson to us all. I doubt it, and I'm sure someone will come on saying "that's football" and "they were goaded" or "just having a laugh that got out of hand."

you said it

Yet another story hounding football fans in the media. You'll see identical racist incidents up and down the country every friday night (and every night inbetween) and no one reports on those.

How many times have Brighton fans abused people on trains and outside pubs some of them wearing club shirts

Shouldn't bother with NSC's resident nazi fan boy. Really not worth it.

Are you sure? It may not be in the national press but local papers report court cases of racial public disorder or racially motivated attacks. The courts of full of such cases week in and week out, depressingly.

And you only comment on racism when it suits, you certainly haven't commented on the incident I highlighted in my reply to you , an incident where people were threatened and actually attacked.

My point is that if this exact incident had happened on a train between Stoke and Derby on a thursday night by a group of people who were not attending a football match then it would not have made the national news multiple days in a row. The reason it has done is not because the incident is extraordinary (and let me be explicitly clear here that I am not saying that it is ok in any way or should not be taken seriously, simply that it is not deserving of the coverage it has received relative to other cases) but because the people committing it were football fans. I really am very bored of attitudes towards football fans from all angles, and this is just another manifestation of it.
