Reporting discriminative language

I mean, assaulting someone in public with an array of cameras on you wouldn’t be my advice, but there you go.

You are 100% correct, I did that at Sheffield Utd many moons ago when this Sheffield fan decided to pick on an SAFC fan who was in a wheelchair, needless to say I didn’t get back home until Monday after the Saturday match! Not the best decision to make!

Needs reporting asap imo.

a) There's bairns about
b) Leave your 1980's views back at home not in the football ground.

1 less bellend at the stadium is 1 person absolutely no one will give a fuck when he gets a banning order.

You are blowing this way out of proportion

"People of colour" is a weird as fuck expression IMO. Apart from the fact that it's as inaccurate as "coloured" in that we all have some kind of colour to our skin, it also seems to lump black people, Asians of various regions and native Americans together as if they're some homogenous mass. My black friends find it bizarre and never use it.

It’s only used by the political left. The most racism I’ve experienced in my life is from the left. I’m right leaning . On this board alone I’ve had my skin colour questioned because I don’t think as I’m “supposed “to. Frijji told me I shouldn’t be offended by Justin trudue for doing black face several times.

Half the crowd piss themselves over players taking the knee, so stuff like this is hardly likely to be called out.

Taking the knee in my opinion is just virtue signalling, and has some unfortunate political connection. Clapping while a load of overpaid footballers bend their knees for a few seconds is not doing anything about abuse. What has to be done, is what is being discussed on this thread, take some positive action, if you feel confident have it out there and then, report them to as many agencies as possible, but DO something.

Why do you think it's just virtue signalling?

Also regarding the point about unfortunate political connection, footballers have been pretty clear regarding the messaging.

Either way despite the above, if people don't like it they should just be quiet, rather than you know actively booing the message like a neanderthal. Still it's always been good to see how many people tried to drown out the boos.

Yer have seat number and row. I did wonder if they could sort of keep an eye on the area in future if they had a heads up. We were thinking of taking my mates 5 y.o. for his first game and pleased we didn’t.

Obviously the point about the "private conversation" angle is that if you hear a conversation with that tone the perp. is more likely to (be able to) claim the "your word against mine" defence. If they're shouting at the top of their voice then there's more witnesses. That's all. Facile as feck to say that opinion's latently racist.

So if you didn't voice your opinion to him why cry on here?
Was the racism directed at you?

Probably a bit late now, but the advice from the club is:

If you hear or see any racist abuse at the Stadium of Light then you can report this in a number of ways. You can contact your nearest steward in confidence at the time of the incident, or should you wish, you can contact the club to report an incident via telephoning 0371 911 1973 or email [email protected]. Alternatively, you may contact Kick It Out on 0800 169 9414 by emailing [email protected], or by visiting

Lad behind us was reported and taken out and arrested as it happened
During the course of the process the people reporting were made obvious and they got a bit stick from his mates but we all said to them he shouldnt have said it and they agreed
We heard him apologise to the cops but they took him off
never seen him since
