The lad has asked for people to stop singing it, just stop it ffs.
He’s scoring goals and performing well, a bit of respect for him would be nice.

i was in the south stand all game and nobody sang well sing what we want
Apologies, I am half cut.
Diallo chant sang after 2 mins and then 2 mins later the south stand sings ‘we’ll sing what we want’

i personally wouldn’t call it racist just a sensitive topic. but if the lad thinks it is then we should stop it

Imagine down the line Diallo decides not to come back here because of thickheaded supporters not showing him the smallest amount of respect here smh. Just make a new chant that is a bit more friendly
I’m sure people will disagree, but having worked with people from all around the UK and lived in Oxfordshire/Highlands/East Lothian I hadn’t realised just how bad casual/overt racism is at home. A lot of the time it’s passed off as banter/acceptable because it’s not meant in a bad way, whereas other times it’s just blatant.
Obviously could just be my experience.

I live down south and there's very little to no casual racism I've noticed here compared to when I'm back home

i agree you have a point, best we can do is confront rascism when we see it...banter is what? ....taking a token knee, never
I’m sure with a lot of people it’s still just ignorance. We have some of the least diverse areas in the country in and around Sunderland.
It’s only here that I still hear people using paki or ch*nky in normal conversation.

It's very possible Man Utd looks to loan him out again next year, and he very well might be inclined to decline coming back here to spend his loan season

Not booing people taking a knee would probably be a start.
Of course it's racist, that is unarguable.
Dear me.
There's a lot old Lionel doesn't get.

I did a double take at that, Eddie Hitler and the SS! Oh, you meant South Stand
I heard "Sing what we want" but had no idea what it was in reference to. I hadn't heard the Diallo one, but it can be hard to make out what people are singing sometimes.
The knee is racist.

The players who take the knee have told you exactly why they do it. The reason they do it is to raise awareness of all types of discrimination. Yet some of our fans choose to boo that. Well certainly there will be a much higher percentage of people in Sunderland share your view just as there is a much higher percentage of people in Sunderland think the Diallo chant is ok. It’s where we are.

Ahhh so that’s why the knee gets booed
Of course. Its racists in the ground booing players with racist knees protesting against racism. So that must mean the racists in the crowd aren't actually racist, and the players with racist knees arent protesting racism, but supporting it.
Bloody racist knees. Always causing bother. Should lock up everyones knees and throw away the keys
