Racism at the match

[chicoazul]

He's been building up to that post all this time.

Simmering with pent up anger and disgust.

Then..... on the 30th of April 2009..... BANG!

Out it comes.

Best first post ever.

Laughing. Best first post ever indeed.

Thing is , Ive heard racism at the match . More away games , being honest . Even then its usually isolated . A particular group of lads . A mini bus party , whatever . Usually , your-drug-dealer types , in my experience . At Goodison its definately improved beyond measure ., if only because any racist worth his salt could only cheer for Tony , tony , tony , tony , tony , tony tony hibbo , Jags , Dan Gosso , Neville , Moyesey and ( Hangina ) Round . Oh , and Kenwright .
Wheres the fun in that ???

OK, quick contribution. Its much better nowadays. You hear more homophobic chants towards linesmen and refs, or should I say I always seem to find a seat behind some loud mouth older person whose voice would beat the Everton announcing sytem.

Best racist story; Everton fans chanting down a small section of racist Everton fans telling them "You're not Everton". Made up for that.

Funniest: Fan two seats away from me berating Superkev who was having a **** of a game. Used the N word once too often and I was ready to wollop him. I give him daggers because I was reallyl pissed off. Turns round to me and apologieses!!!

Thought to myself, why are you apologising to me, I'm not SuperKev's cousin.

You heard it here first and I will continue to say it. Everton are not a racist club.

Agreed. Back in the '80s, there were sections of the support that used to be absurd about black players. TBH, I think 90% of those people were actually just following a few bigots, but it didn't sound nice, and made us look very bad as a club.

I don't get to the match much these days, just a couple of games a season. However, the atmosphere is so much better. I can't remember the last time I heard any type of racial utterance.

Living in Denmark, I can tell you that visiting Goodison these days is like going to a liberal's love-in in comparison. The language is rough, but it's respectful to other cultures. Perhaps we've still got a few nutters, but so has every club. I doubt there are more racists that follow Everton, than exist in society as a whole. I think we should be proud of the Everton that has grown from the ashes.

End of sermon.
