It's not just racism though - The Canal Street Blues City Supporters Branch posted a facebook event about the MCFC trophy tour (Men's Prem trophy, FA cup, League Cup, Community Shield and Women's FA and League Cups) visiting the Gay Village for the first time ever which is a big moment for the community and the page is swamped with the predictable hilarious comments, 'banter' and outright abuse, from both City and United 'fans' sadly. There is a long way to go for football to eradicate what we saw yesterday and maybe it never will but the reality is we all know he's not the only one to behave like that - he just got caught on camera. Many of us have seen it or heard it around us, away games seem to bring out the worst in particular. Perhaps it may even be that as society we're actually going backwards. Personally, I think that it's more the extremes being emboldened and that actually the huge, huge majority of people are decent and forward thinking as this thread largely confirms...Gary Neville makes an observation that many will kick off with but also may be an uncomfortable truth

The good thing is that the club will act decisively and that whilst social media gives everyone a platform to share their views...it also means there is often no escape.
