Whilst cardiff city has never suffered the endemic racist abuse dished out by the likes of leeds millwall and birmingham city in the past , we have had isolated racist abuse at cardiff city
You are just a town full of pakis ......at bradford city and Oldham fans , a city fan arrested at Scarborough for spitting on a black player , the black cambridge united captain getting the monkey chants in our seven two home defeat , bananas thrown at alex William's the black manchester city keeper
In recent years racial abuse is hardly ever heard at cardiff but there are one or two idiots
This is from the Reading Supporters organisation. Comments suggest home fans being less than pure. I was there. All
I saw / heard was the usual City songs about sheep Shaggers, shit on English side of bridge and anti jack songs. None of which I actually think are very good or encouraging
It was quite lively in the away end but not aggressive or malicious. Lots of ‘banter’ between the two sets of fans.

Nothing was shout but if home fans shout you welsh bastards that allowed
Wot is racist for reading to put that out is open to a massive claim by all city fans who were there ! They put the statement ou prove it
I am sure the club and the trust and the supporters club will be acting on these allegations and will clear the fans name if it proves to be untrue

As most of you know I go to every Cardiff Game Home and Away.
I've been supporting the City since 1968 since the 80s I can count on one hand Racism slurs I've heard and the last one being West Ham away 2004.
Cardiff has been a cosmopolitan area since the 50s with many different cultures integrated into the city with no issue.
Homophobic chanting is very rare and I cannot recall the last time I heard Cardiff fans sing about it.
However what I do hear week in week out is nonsensical chanting anti english and anti welsh back and forth. Personally I believe it does nothing to support the team but Racial homophobic chanting it isn't.
Despite both sets of fans singing anti English anti welsh songs today, and shouting abuse at each other across the segregation line, Reading FC chose to accuse Cardiff city supporters of racism and homophobic insults by making an announcement aimed just at Cardiff city fans after two stewards made a complaint about anti English chanting. This is a slur on a football club who has NO recent history of racism or homophobia.
The stewards have been interviewed by the police and I believe there will be no arrests and no investigation.
Very disappointing
Club statement
Cardiff City Football Club is aware of the allegations made against visiting supporters at today’s FA Cup tie at Reading.
We will be speaking with Reading Football Club, Thames Valley Police and South Wales Police (in attendance with our travelling support) to ascertain the facts of the matter.
We will conduct these conversations with the relevant authorities before making any further comment.
Was there any Swansea connection on the pitch or Mark Bowen? Did the ‘you Jack B****d’ get chanted? I remember a good few years ago Crew fans mis hearing this when it was aimed at Rodney Jack (comically about his name) and accusations were made then.
As I said !!
Welsh black gay it can all be classed as racist - grow up everyone far bigger things to worry about !!
about 2.000 maybe more maybe less i think there was 4000 of us there all i know it was loud,,, fans sang about adebayor... along the lines of his father is an elephant and mothers a whore...
that is direct abuse at a specific player... a black 1 at that, what happened then = nothing
hearing that announcement today was nothing short of embarrassing from reading...
Any fan singing that Hymns ‘n’ Aria parody should be locked up though in my opinion, daft, no funny, downright embarrassing!!!
Mark Bowen is from Neath. I’m sure he received the traditional welcome which may have been misheard.
Let's not just dismiss it like it didn't happen. I think it's certainly possible that there could have been racist or homophobic abuse at the game today but it's very likely to have been an isolated incident by one or two people. We've got wrong uns just like any club.
To be fair, the only time I experienced it was in 95 away at the Northampton play off game so one occasion in 600+ games isn't too shabby.
There was nothing aimed at Mark Bowen
There was no racist or homophobic chanting - everybody around me was completely perplexed
There were the usual standard pooing on the English/welsh side of the bridge chants from the kids and a few sheep shagging songs back and forth
Honestly whoever complained should just withdraw from the human race as things are going to get far too rough for them out there if that upsets them
English/Welsh/Scots/Irish have for generations fought and died for each other for our country - they did it while calling each other Taffy/Paddy/Jock/Tommy and having banter about each others backgrounds.
I hate the term snowflake but whoever got upset about England run from Russia or pooing on that side of the brush needs help
I haven’t always agreed with Vince but surely this puts to bed the thought we are a racist club .
I have never heard it , one or two have heard an odd comment over a period of years ( unfortunately )
Reading got it wrong today
English bastards ....
My partner is English ...
Funny how we never get flagged up for potentially encouraging beastiality.
Apparently Reading have taken the words “racist” and “homophobic” out of their statement and replaced them with “discriminatory”.
It seems four people were interviewed over anti English chanting, homophobia doesn't even come into it. But thanks to Reading being quick to put an uninformed announcement over the PA we are seeing the national media inc the BBC post unproven headlines and worse, our own local media quick to look for the hits rather than the facts.
Nothing has been said about the Anti Welsh chanting coming in the other direction.
Reading's announcement to me seemed like a calculated move to dampen our support. And it had an effect. There was a noticeable change in the output from the away fans.
Hope the city remove the local medias privileges for their ill-informed response to the allegations. If nothing comes of this, Reading have surely got to hold their hands up and say they got this one wrong, certainly looking that way.
