Racist abuse of black English players hasn't happened on that scale since, oh, ages ago ... during the last Euro Final....

I think your wrong. Celery and banana detectors haven't Benn needed for decades.

Obviously never went to football in the 70s & 80s
 
Your average football fan isn't very bright, so cut them some slack ;)

They will cheer if a black player in their team scores, then reign down all sorts of verbal abuse on black players in the opposing team. Undoubtedly in backward countries like Bulgaria they take this sort of thing up a notch or two e.g. abusing players in their own team, however it happens to varying degrees everywhere.

As for the silly little pathetic laddies playing at being gansta, just because you might have the upper hand whether through physical strength and/or weapons doesn't make you manly or tough. They think they're 'hard', without their weapons and their numbers i.e. going about in groups, they wouldn't know what hard is. They're pathetic, sad thing is they see themselves as the complete opposite to this.

14 or 40, I'd lock the f**kers up for 30 years minimum.

You don't know those types of football fans very well. They worship kiss and hug their own black players if they do well but when they make a mistake the personal abuse is hysterical

I don't think so much now but that certainly was the case.


Paul Canovile at Chelsea (Our first black player) got horrendous abuse from his own fans. Until the night he come as substitute @ 3-0 down at half time against Sheffield Wednesday.

Within 11 seconds stepping on the field at Hillsborough he scored to make it 3-1. He also got the 4th and Chelsea eventually went on to the next round of the FA Cup.


The lovely thing about that game was that his father who lived in Sheffield come to watch his son who he hadn't seen since he left his mother & Paul as a small child.

He also changed alot of hearts and minds that day.

He went on to be a cult hero at Chelsea.

In his book he tells us that he gets fans shaking his and and apologising because they were part of The crowed that hurled racist abuse at him... I want to shake his hand and tell him I cried for him because I couldn't understand the abuse he got from his own fans.

Lovely man who still Loves Chelsea despite the horrible abuse while playing for the Blues.

I remember England winning by an odd goal. There were people saying it only counts as a draw because John Barns scored the winner.

Again It is getting better I've been at games with 22 non English players on the pitch. I'd have a guess to say that it's 50/50 black and white or there abouts.

It was said foreign players would harm the development of English talent when they began to flow into the Premier League during the 90s. But i saw how players like Zola and Bergkamp, Cantona and Klinsmann, influenced our players such as Beckham and Gerrard to raise their game. It undoubtedly led to improvements in technique and fitness that brought about a wide ranging number of changes from top-to-bottom of the English league.
Yeah, there were some bad eggs, like Winston Bogarde who sat on the bench at Chelsea and collected a fat wage, or Andriy Voronin at Liverpool, who remains the most inept human to ever put on a pair of football boots, but overall the imported talent raised our game to a European level without which English clubs would've been left behind.
It used to be the case an English club in a European final was a huge deal - nowadays, it's a national calamity when we don't have at least one club in the semi-final.
Now we have a tactically astute English manager of the National team, it's been a pleasure to watch an England team play good football and reach the final of a major tournament for the first time since most people could remember.

I've always said if a players good enough he'll make the grade and see no reason to alter that opinion.
