Ostensibly, it is the exact same thing it’s only the degree that’s different. As people on this thread have pointed out, the age of them is the terrifying part. When I was their age, latent racism was almost invisible. It was merely expressed by old people who ‘dodn’t Know any better’. Do I...
Anyone trundling our the ‘its not racist as not only black people get malaria.’ Fine, feel free to consider it xenophobic rather than racist. Being that Zaha was born in the Ivory Coast and malaria is strongly associated with Africa.
For those who want to claim that i’m an apologist for the...
Not at Stoke today, was coaching the school team until 11.30. Any comment about the actual topic though? Interesting you can’t seem to manage to condemn your own fans.
Given the loud noise you have made against Burnley’s supposed racism, I suspect you’ll be hunting down your fans for their actual racism against Wilfried Zaha?

What a load of disingenuous crap this is. Your defender claimed something which it transpired he didn’t say. We can all agree in this day and age it’s better Bong complained than didn’t. You then sang ‘town full of racists’ and assumed Burnley wouldn’t react. Our club is full of snowflakes...
First team? Behave. Back four that have never played together (like that wasn’t obvious). No Wilf, no Benteke, no RLC. Two more defenders going off injured today is a bloody nightmare. Disney better buy a centre back, at least one full back and a striker or we will be back in the relegation...
We were crap! You lot played a hell of a lot better than us and still looked some distance away from looking decent. Crap game until we scored as you were managing the game brilliantly and we couldn’t deliver any link up play. Poor game where football played second fiddle to the media’s...
I realise we are discussing most of you’s favourite team but the amount of people delighted at potentially career ending injuries is somewhat reminiscent of when you cheered FFS’s injury in the playoff semi. Not exactly classy from the self appointed judges of other people’s fans.
Being that one has been shown to be a safety feature and the other is a proven safety issue that was perpetuated by a Thatcher led government and led to the deaths of many people then I’m not really sure I see the comparison. Full height turnstiles were not a feature of the bad old days and the...
And as I’ve pointed out several times in this thread, I accept that the total blame for forcing the gate falls with us and us alone. That doesn’t mean that full height turnstiles shouldn’t be a standard requirement at all modern grounds.
And after forcing the segregating gate in the Arthur a few years back maybe we should do the same to your lot? Maybe it would be easier to accept that CPFC should stump up the refund for our fans who weren’t let in and also accept full height turnstiles that appear in every ground are sensible...
To be honest, why wouldn’t I be? Vast majority of our lot are similar to the vast majority of your lot. We love our club, support them through thick and thin and hate the JCLs, glory hunters (yes even down the bottom of the Prem we have them) and the casual fans of other clubs who buy a season...
Whilst in this day and age you shouldn’t need to then I think this is the only option. Coupled with the stadium to stadium coaches. The morons won’t be going to any other away games this season. A lot of our fans are still annoyed how they got to all three Wembley games without having accrued...
Agreed. The HF have proven they can’t police themselves so I think the club needs to take over full administration of them. Whilst this means the Tifo and the displays may wain, it’s a small price to pay.
From what I know, the HF don’t bother going to most away games. Hence why they didn’t have the loyalty points to get a ticket in the first place. A few of the old guard (the people who started the HF back in 2005) are absolutely livid. They left Block B when it started getting taken over by...
I heard that one of the HF started banging on the gate and that when a steward opened it to find out what was going on it was surged (twice). I’m hugely embarrassed by those idiots. They don’t represent me or the wider fan base. We’re hoping for lifetime bans.
