Oh jesus I don't know why I respond to you anymore, I really don't. Anyway I've never said that there aren't any Nazi's in Limerick, I know for a fact there is, I also know that there is an anti-fascist league in Limerick too. What I commented on was that you saying that racism may rise in Limerick, but not in Dublin, was a completly ignorant remark, I know it's your forte, but really all you are doing there is WUMing, as you like to say, and I know how much you hate WUMs NYHoop. Just because Nazi's have attended their Leg Up scheme in computers doesn't mean that there are any less racists in Dublin. I'm sure you'll find that given the population of Dublin that there are quite a lot more.

i hadn't seen racist abuse directed at a player in a long time in united park until some moron made monkey chants towards ndo in the last shels drogs game.(the same guy reckons he's the player we need to win the league btw) that was a rarity tho.
what isn't rare is the abuse directed towards other fans. there are two groups of lads that have come to drogs games this season for the first time. one is a group of turkish lads, the other are guys living in mosney. they both happen to stand near me and i have been disgusted by comments made to/about them in the last four/five home games. anything from callin them the mosnia possie, to questioning if they are paying in, askin if they are paying where are they gettin the money, asking them to move coz "i cant see and i've been comin here years. yiz are hardly local!" questionin why they have jerseys on when thyer not even from here. and one lad even complained that they looked stupid singing the chants coz they are obviously not even irish??!!!
the majority of these comments have been made by ould lads but there is no exvuse for racism and ignorance like this. so much for trying to attract crowds.
it is also worth mentioning that a lot of crap is said about women at games, usually by the same idiots. its not racism but its not pleasent

The abuse that Joseph Ndo received at Windsor Park was nothing other than sickening and something that Linfield as a club took very seriously. For the return game at Tolka there was an anti racism display by our players by way of an apology. This was recognised at the highest level with the club receiving a letter from Sepp Blatter praising their efforts. When a few idiots tried to start this again at Tolka it was the Linfield support who rounded on them and it was stopped immediately. This to me is the best way to deal with this. Racism or sectarianism should never be tolerated.

I forgot about them, the famous Tubbercurry Neo Nazis.Gone back to the GAA I hope!

Only ever heard one rasict comment in The Showgrounds,by a well known local character.....It was last season i think,he got plenty of abuse back from not to happy rovers fan ssitting near him.
I think some racist comments or chants are not meant for that purpose but more of a joke....ie.Derry and the Queen.If this causes offense though,then it is racist and should be dealt with in the same way as other racist comments.
Racist are the lowest scum in society,and it is rampent in this Country,and is now directed towards the Eastern Europeans living here.
Every club should have some sort of Ani-Racism campaign in place and give it as much exposer as possible.

Is that not racist against racists??

Wee Wees me off about so called liberals sometimes. They come out with this type of stuff which IMHO makes them hypocrites of the highest order

The Stars I'm not trying to lump you in with them here, your post just reminded me of one of my pet hates :o

Plus rascism is based on race, not opinions. I have no problem discriminating against people who's opinions I don't agree with... idiots!

I know the foreign guys that your talking about .Decent blokes who come to utd park to support the club, who have bought jerseys etc .Not sure but it think the club runs a bus in from mosney for anyone who wants to come to our home games .Only one way to deal with the bunch of wankres who are giving them stick, tell them to fcuk right off home ! I will if i see it happening .:mad:

I think post match pitch invasions and little scuts attaching themselves to clubs causing hassle around games are a far bigger problem than racism in this league. If each clubs supporters rounded on the hardchaws at every game the same way monkey chanting is pounced on then there might be a little more progress.

Seems throwing bottles and flares on to the pitch is more acceptable than offensive chants for some reason?

"Scuts"..."hardchaws"...are you from Tubbercurry? :)
Or are you auditioning for a job on TG4? :)

Not more acceptable, but certainly less serious. Racism is obscene while throwing flares/bottles and invading pitches is merely stupid.
