We're gay and we don't shag sheep, we're gay and we don't shag sheep.

Liverpool star Craig Bellamy in racism inquest after he endured anti-Welsh taunts from Brighton fans

The irony that the Daily Mail is being sympathetic towards an alleged racist victim...

 

[Captain Sensible]

Daily Mail is vermin

 

[Weststander]

It's a pretty dull and unimaginative chant. Crap, really.

Yep. As witty as "Stand up if you ate Palice". Yawn.

I've searched the FA site and found nothing to say that there is an investigation. TheFA.com - The website for the English football association, The FA Cup and The England football team

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

 

[fataddick]

Were I a conspiracy theorist I'd point out that Kick It Out have long been criticised for not doing anything about homophobic chants, something they have recently started trying to address with a homophobia section on their website, etc. How better to initiate that debate in the press than by targetting the supporters who get the most homophobic abuse with a spurious racism charge. Cue those supporters pointing out "yeah, but look at what we have to put up with..." as you are doing. Very clever of Kick It Out if this is their plan. I am reasonably suspicious that it is...

Can someone do a poll to see if NSC would rather f*** a sheep than a man ?
they often sing that in response and I have often wondered which one I would plump for if I really had to.

sheep! sheep! sheep!
(ahem, female obviously....)

I feel like this needed posting.

Marvellous scenes

Andy Naylor reporting The FA have cleared us of any racial abuse against Bellamy

 

[El Turi]

What a surprise. It was a load of rubbish: http://www.kickitout.org/news.php/news_id/5231

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Sieg Heil to that.









What?

 

[bhaexpress]

An article by Paul Elliot about his involvement with Kick it out. Mentions that Homophobia is being tackled by that organisation.


Really ?

This is bizarre. The actual allegation was surely that the 'sheep shagger' chant (and the like) is racist. They seem now to be avoiding the subject of whether it is racism as well as the homophobic abuse we get by cooking up a new story. It sounds like bullshit to me and a rehash of a comical story from a few decades ago.

The whole thing is laughable.

[jackalbion]

sheepshaggers was really just seasiders

just been on the website and found out a viewer alerted the media about the whole sheepshagger thing because he misheard seasiders

 

[Rookie]

Amazed that one anonymous complaint from a television viewer can lead to a full investigation and a write up in a national newspaper

 

[Richard Reynold's Haircut]

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
