old_southy Posted 18 February, 2015 Share Posted 18 February, 2015 Whats your point? There is a good chance we will be playing some kind of european football in the suture and that whenever you travel to see saints you are representing your club, city and country.

buctootim Posted 18 February, 2015 Share Posted 18 February, 2015 (edited) The small group of idiots giving it large on the Metro and pushing a black guy off the train are lowlifes who behaved badly. However it in no way justifies the prominence given to it in the media - more space than Ukraine or the HSBC scandal in some papers. Race, football, Europe and paedophilia.

Of course UKIP attracts a lot of racist scum bags but that doesn't invalidate other people's support for them. People may well have perfectly legitimate reasons to support them, doesn't make them a "traveller with racists". Playing devil's advocate but supposing you found out a large gang of violent white supremacists, who had murdered several black and Jewish people, supported Saints; would you then stop supporting Saints so as to disassociate yourself from them?

I doubt they would be running a story if he had some instagram photos proclaiming is love of Monster Munch or landscape gardening. They're not a racist party, they just attract racists, sound like racists, have racist groups like Britain First declare their support and admiration for them, and have to ban former BNP & NF members (because they appeal to them so) and ban pretty much anyone apart from Farage and a few others in the highest reached of the party from saying anything. Why? Oh, because racist bølløcks comes streaking out otherwise. Of course they wouldn't write a story about those things, they are utterly unrelated. But when someone who is involved in a racist incident, proudly proclaiming themselves as a racist, and that's the way he likes it, pictures of him with the leader of a racist party the two are related.

When you have someone who spends as much time on forums as Turkish does, a lot of people will read his message.

Scary how far something relatively minor can go when everyone on social media gets their pitchforks out. Anyway, the video doesn't show who pushes the bloke, or who was singing the song, so nothing can be done apart from people on Twitter competing against each other to show who's more offended.
