    Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?

    There was a “Racism and Homophobia will not be tolerated” announcement on the Tanoy. Was it us or them?

    Clue was in the wording.

    "Racist and homophobic chanting from the away fans won't be tolerated"

    Does that mean it will be tolerated from the home fans

    "I am told by the club there were two isolated incidents reported to stewards at the time. The club official said it was not anti-English chanting, they said it was for racist and homophobic chanting." from a BBC reporter.

    Either Reading are covering their asses or something happened. Reading will have to show receipts, though.

    The word "Jack" sounds like "black". Why they have to sing that is beyond me.

    2300 fans heard in an empty stadium singing anti English songs, I don't think it was racist or homophobic but I think they've looked to be proactive on a nothing incident because of the media attention some incidents (rightly) have gotten recently.

    The u jack bastards chant is often misread by home fans as racist

    However if any city fans were racially abusing opposing fans or players then I hope they are banned

    Apparently there were two isolated incidents. It’s being investigated. Don’t know anything more.

    Is the announcement made to every away set of fans, Pearcey?

    Just got out of the ground.
    Heard nothing racist or homophobic at all.

    If it was for anti English chanting then I hope that Cardiff lodge a complaint against anti welsh chanting as well.

    Once in about 15 years did I see someone say something racist to someone working at the bar and a few people called him up on it.

    I am going to stick my neck out and say no chance .

    I haven't even heard the kids smashed out of their trolleys next to me uttering anything remotely racist.

    It doesnt sound like Cardiff City Supporters.

    I’d be disappointed if it did happen. I have certainly not ever heard anything like it at the many Wales games I have been to.

    I've heard racist shit down the City, One bloke shouting rag head at raheem sterling and i've heard Black c**** a couple of times although that's spread over 10 seasons. I had words with the bloke who was abusing sterling, he wanted to fight me. TLG pulled some racist city fans some years back at Charlton.

    Firstly nothing to do with today.

    I am going to put myself up to be shot at here .

    So , in a stadium with 80,000 people in it ,one wanker decides to use racism to vent his vitriol

    Next week in a 50,000 stadium another wanker repeats this .

    Does that mean the whole country is racist ?

    If a section of supporters chant something racist , identify them , ban them but dont make out every supporters is racist .

    OK ,unacceptable , I have never heard anything like that . Hardly endemic racism.

    Do you think there is a chance we were chanting racist chants today ?

    I know what you mean, it could be interpreted as City fans being racist or a group being racist. Personally, i don't mind the announcement, it makes people aware that some wanker is shouting racist, Homophobic shit. The majority who aren't racist would probably be ok with it.

    if it was 1 or 2 isolated incidents pointed out by stewards then deal with the 1 or 2 individuals not tell the whole of the away fans off for chanting...

    I don't think that we were chanting racist shit, that doesn't happen anymore in this country, it's the isolated stuff that's still kicking about, especially in games where we take a large away following and people have been on the piss. The homophobic stuff is still prevalent, blokes shouting poof at players who go down etc although it is isolated.
