Last time I heard anything racist to do with Football was at Sheffield Wednesday away during the Keane era, a few fans were bizarrely singing the Ameobi song.

Remember years ago in one of McCarthy's early games, Jason Roberts came on for West Brom, some berk behind me shouts "f***ing hell, straight oot the jungle"
Last season at Roker park that.Haven't read it all so sorry if SEB...
On one of the early SOL season review videos we put out you can clearly hear monkey chants as Middlesbrough's Emerson is on the ball - I was embarrassed when I heard it.
Nobody is outraged though, people are just telling it how it was. or still is at Newcastle.A hell of a lot of white man guilt flying about on here. The truth is it was of it's time. People, mostly, knew no better.
I often recall my old dad recalling that no-one ever told them smoking was bad for your health. They do now and yet some still smoke. Nowt so queer as folk.
No need to feel outraged.
Maybe, but there was definitely one video of the SOL where it was horrific.Last season at Roker park that.
So why was the original post asking how racist were we? Is it acceptable if we were only mildly racist?Nobody is outraged though, people are just telling it how it was. or still is at Newcastle.
While we called our defender "midnight", they called their famous number 9 "Cooningham"
You won't find many mag websites reminiscing about those days.
Me dad and his mates sometimes used to refer to Benno as Chalky BennetA few black former players were discussing racism on 5live recently, and while they said the London clubs were the worst, we also got a mention as being bad
Were we particularly bad?
I started in the 80s and everyone still called Gary Bennett midnight![]()
We played Boro the last season at Roker and the first season at the SOL. Emerson played and scored in both, so you may well be right.Maybe, but there was definitely one video of the SOL where it was horrific.
Just to clarify, you weren't sitting in P8 those days, were you?
The whole ground?Remember the whole ground singing 'I'd rather be a Paki than a mag' at the SOL in the 00's, also remember 'your just a town full of Paki's' at Bradford away in the 90's.
Not so much recently, saying that last week when Wes Morgan was chasing down PVA last week the bloke in the SWC was venting and you could clearly tell he was desperate to call him a black bastard but took all his will power to refrain. Funny as owt.
Trust me when I say he wasn't anything like WBA players such as Regis, Cunningham & Batson, or Thompson at Coventry.
They had talent in abundance, he had the square root of zilch!

No mate, opposite side of ground. You're off the hook![]()
I can't remember which team or teams we were playing, I think it was a London or Birmingham team that had a larger proportion of black fans than average, but when they came to our place our fans were chanting "Why's the Roker, why's the Roker, why's the Roker full of shit? Whyyyyy's the Roookeeer full of shit?" at the opposition fans in the Roker End.
No, its just a thread, a really good one as it turns out, looking at how times have changed*So why was the original post asking how racist were we? Is it acceptable if we were only mildly racist?
