What was the racist chanting anyway? I didn't hear anything. Closest I heard was the same chant that Cardiff supporters were chanting but on a much smaller scale and it can't be that as it specifically mentioned ponty end and not the North stand.
What the heck was it all about. Nobody I spoke to in the East heard owt untoward. Surely it wasn't about sheep. In which case if it was the Cardiff fans were gloryfying it. The second time it was announced it was while play was going on. Why not wait till a break in play Seems a bit ott otherwise.
The racist chanting apparently was a song about Cardiff being sheep staggers! What has this world come to? Deary me.....
According to my son, who has come home from university for the weekend and unfortunately chose to go to the match with his mates, it was repeated use of racist language (i.e.: .....get stuck into the dirty black b@st***, etc etc). They were sat not too far from the perpetrators. Stewards went up at half time, not sure if anyone was removed.
It didn’t come across as booing the chanting to me; but you could all be right. The timing of the booing made it sound like booing the announcement to me.
That is the only chant I heard which is not racist at all and was also being sung by the Cardiff fans. Surely the announcement was not about this because if it was then there is a problem.
But the Cardiff fans were singing 2 0 ti the sheep ********. I heard nothing in the ponte. Fair play though, we are making sure we're not fined again.
It seems to me that if Reds fans sing owt derogatory (and Iam not condoning it at all) we're in trouble, if the away fans do it it's fine or am i just getting paranoid?
It wouldn't be a surprise for there to have been pockets of different "abuse" to be fair mate, is heard the same as you in the concourse in way out.
Some moronic barmpot in the upper east stand was yelling foul and abusive language every verse end about the F****** Welsh B******. He thought it was funny, but nobody else did. Not sure if swearing at the Welsh is racist as the Welsh are a nation.
Something looked to be going off in the left hand side of the ponty 1st half stewards all over plenty of heads turning etc not sure if it was related to that in any way at all mind.
