Racial abuse on train?

[Sheikh Rattle n Roll]

Apologies if already posted, I can't see it-

I pray this didn't happen, if it did, I hope the culprits are found

Horrible bastards, hope they are caught and the club ban them as well. No need for racism especially towards kids!

I smell bullshit I bet there was a rowdy bunch of drunk blues on train which made them feel uncomfortable and the rest is made up wouldn't suprise me if they are rags! Well I hope I'm right!

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

I'm very surprised if true...thought this nonsense had been stamped out of City years ago

Always saddens me...considering our roots in Moss Side and the fact we had one of the first integrated firms back in the day

 

[peoffrey]

I've been going to football by train for 20 years and have experienced nothing like this whatsoever. I also rarely, if ever, hear this stuff in the ground and I'm certainly not in the family stand. Trial by forum is never fair but I concede I'll look forwards to finding out what else emerges and what happens to any of the alleged Blues involved.

Nobody so far has been arrested etc.

Lost for words,thought we were better than that,I'd expect something like this from that load of shit in trafford.

yeah those damn ethnics speaking out for themselves again! god, i wish theyd all shut up and behave and take it bent over.

I think I remember a thread on here after that game saying on the trains so called blues were shouting abuse at random people?

 

[crystal_mais]

It does happen - There are always a minority - I don't go away games anymore but did manage to get to Barca away - and I did hear some there

But like I said it's a minority - not right and I hope the culprits are found and banned

 

[BigOscar]

Hope they find them and ban them. All clubs have nobheads and we are no exception, the only thing we can do is make sure we punish anyone who does it. Not a fan at all of people instantly coming out and declaring the 14 year old kid is a liar or a rag though just because people want to defend the club. I've seen more than enough drunken nobheads calling anyone who looks vaguely asian as "pakis" or "chinks" to really think that this is unlikely. (no idea what actually was said, but reading between the lines of the "that's not even my ethnicity" bit)

no need for that - taking his post out of context

IBH is bang on the money- In forty-odd years of watching City home and away I don't recall seeing any of this bollocks- MUEN at it's usual shit-stirring best in my opinion.

I don't "expect" this from fans of any club.

It's 2015 for fucks sake!

Having read the report though, I do smell bullshit. A bunch of football fans hammering on a bathroom door on a train to racially abuse a young boy - and not one person took out their camera phone to film it? Really? Come on!

 

[our tommy]

Walking back to Seven Sisters on Saturday after the game and 2 City supporters racially abused a lad riding past on his bike. Would say they were in their 30's and not the kind of lads I would want to tackle about it. Sickening it was. It does go on unfortunately. Got to say I haven't heard anything inside our ground.

Really ? In forty years ? You don't remember NF selling outside main road or hundreds singing town full of Pakis at the likes of Preston ? Like others have said , city have a minority of idiots like any club and no point in being in denial .

 

[the originalkippaxman]

It is stories like this that shows how difficult the fight against racism is. Incidents like this can happen in any walk of life and when you see that fans of our own club are involved it saddens the most hardcore of fans. City have always been and will always be a multi cultural club where everyone is treated equally and all the fans I have met over the past 30 years welcome that.

Therefore having read the report I smell fucking BULLSHIT. I would be more interested in what list these pair of nonces have to sign on a regular basis than print this bollocks.

 

[stony]

Football fans being racist and abusive and no one filmed it?

For what it's worth I cannot have seen every dick that has followed us home and aways behaviour, or their behaviour outside grounds or on trains. I am basing my opinion on what I've seen/heard at Maine Road, The Etihad and many away grounds. This crap behaviour is not the norm with a MCFC crowd, that is my point.

Yep, NF leafleters used to peddle their filth outside Maine Road up until the late 80s...they were more often than not chased off though

I do remember a small group of far right dickheads in the Kippax too...a skinhead firm...Used to stand towards the bottom of the stand

But I can honestly say that racial abuse has been very rare at our club

There was one instance at the Etihad at my old seat in 121 where some guy mouthed off 'you black bastard' to an opposing player and very quickly got shouted down with a few offers of a smack in the mouth

Was you there and definitely know it happened? I'm calling and hoping it's bullshit until a blue on here that was on the train says that is what happened!
