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.

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
so loads going around...
we have sang our usual renditions of "sheep shaggin barstuds we know who we are" and "you jack barstuds",,,
could be that they missheard jack for black ?
but what it got to do with jack black i dont know :hehe:

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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.

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
Never ever heard one utterance of racial abuse at a Cardiff away game , I dont got to them all but I have been to enough.

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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?

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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.
-
Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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.

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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.

Evens it was SHEEP SHAGGING BASTARDS .................

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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.

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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
-
Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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.

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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.

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
As I said !!
Welsh black gay it can all be classed as racist - grow up everyone far bigger things to worry about !!

Prove it reading

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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...

Re: Racism and Homophobia announcement - Was it us?
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.
