Announced two minutes ago. On top of the nob on the pitch and the coin throwing.

Happy Monday, everyone.

Talk about a shit day (if true, and if it's one of our fans). Lovely.

Except that this is the "en vogue" allegation. It will happen at every ground from here on in.

In an unrelated incident, police arrested a man on suspicion of committing a racially aggravated public order offence during the game.

The man was held after officers reported hearing racist chanting from the crowd.

Seems the police witnessed it directly. Not good.

What a load of bollocks, this isn't even newsworthy.

Are these reported racist incidents supposed to prove that there is a problem with racism in the game, because it is pretty flimsy when they can report 10 fans out of about 15 million going through the turnstiles each season.

Today has been bad enough without this shit being reported.

 

[SWP's back]

I won't know how to feel about it until the society of black lawyers comment.

Who said it's a City fan?

Brilliant.

Well, the BBC went for it and just had Ian Payne broadcast it around the globe. Wonderful.

Who said it's a City fan?

Looking at the scenes at the end, I'd say it's quite likely to be a Blue.

If it's City, it will be just one idiot. If it's United, they are a bunch of racist cunts.
