[Football] Chelsea’s finest supporters......

[dazzer6666]

Two matches in a row.........must be looking forward to their hat-trick on Sunday after giving it to Sterling and Jews so far this week......lots of chatter on the radio this morning about how they’ll be massively under the spotlight.

‘You’re just a club full of racists’ perhaps.........

Some of the fans wear racism as a badge of honour.

Lets not forget this either.

In the Goldstone days, it was common place for the whole North stand to make gas hissing noises when we played Spurs. I'm ashamed to say, that as a teenager, I thoughtlessly joined in. Although it was strangely acceptable at the time, or so it seemed, I can't believe that we, or more importantly 'I' did it. Disgusting behaviour as of course is all racism that thankfully seems to be all but eradicated at the Amex.

Some people have moved on and grown up. However it’s quite clear when you see the pictures from the latest incidents that some haven’t.

There will always be an element at every club, ours included, who will overstep the mark, think it’s more a case of whether they get called out for it or for others to join in sheeplike as per your example!

I suspect they will make hit a hatrick of discriminating abuse this weekend.

 

[Weststander]

A €20,000 fine and reprimand from UEFA will teach them.

 

[BNthree]

So we can assume they'll be adding homophobia to their racism this weekend?

 

[happypig]

John Terry would be proud...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I mean.....

What hope is there?

does he not see the irony?

Replying to @danlevene @talkSPORT
My daughter asked me why everyone hates Chelsea fans..how many kids are going to get bullied at school because you continue to sensationalise it make a point of banning the “y” word not branding fans as racist for singing a 50 year old football chant

This will make the perfect story for the media.

The scrutiny on their fans on Sunday will be microscopic!

The trinity of racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia all in 1 week. Amazing.

Another meaning of

Chelsea going for the Treble !

Exactly what this morning’s radio chatter was about.

 

[Wardy's twin]

play them off the pitch and give them nothing to sing about

We need to get on this big style on Sunday. It's not an offensive chant so we can't get done - and the same as Burnley last season they will 100% respond with a homophobic chant in the vein of 'town full of...' If we offer the bait they will take it - they won't be able to help themselves.

I'm not going to tar all Chelsea fans with one brush, I mean David Baddiel and Roddy Doyle are Chelsea fans for God's sake, but in all my encounters with them in the last 50 years at Albion matches and when I've been to Stamford Bridge as a neutral, I've been struck (once literally) by the large proportion of them who are not your regular fan types, but are older, nasty, and racist. In the early 70s Chelsea had a major skinhead following and that culture and attitude still pervades.

A longtime acquaintance of mine, now in his early 60s was part of the 'group' that met in a pub beforehand, then went to the Chelsea game ONLY if there were no black players in the team, and at the game stood with back to the pitch mouthing at people and looking for people to fight after the game. I have spent a long hour discussing this with him. The football and the racism were irrelevant - it was all about the risk, danger and general buzz. He had mental health issues (depression, especially seasonal, and attention-defecit being part of it).

You will never eradicate racism and homophobia. I don't care. As long as it remains illegal, and people get arrested, banned for football, banged up or sent on graffiti removal manouvres, all nicely reported in the media, generally shamed, possibly sacked from their job, driven into an increasingly small and militant and self destructive band of cockwombles - or take a ****ing good look at themselves and change, then I'm happy.

Still, I would absolutely laugh my bollocks off if Abramovic says '**** you, I'm off'. As we saw under his predecessor, Chelsea do not have the fan base, cachet or earning potential to do anything other than implode and slip down the leagues like a West London version of the Mackems as they attempt to unload players and deal with a cash flow problem that would make the Haitian encomy looke like a damned good investment opportunity..
