Racism in football

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Yep. Because We have never ever been racist. OK then.

Psst...if you're going to go on an opposing team's forum and pretend to support said club, it's important to get the basics right. Here's your thoughts on Neville Southall.

Best English keeper by light years.

the 80s and early 90s it was horrendous, i noticed it started to ease off when we signed Amokachi and Earl Barrett.

I remember, sadly, some nasty chants in the 80s.

I watch a lot of The Talking Pictures TV, mostly because I love seeing 50s, 60s and 70s cars.

Many programmes are preceded by a warning of unacceptable (today) content given when these were made. There are sometimes anti-Irish 'Micks' etc comments which, though grating, I can move on from.

We have matured, I believe,as Evertonians and should not tolerate insulting behaviour from any fellow supporters.

Personally, I have not experienced hearing unacceptable language in recent decades from Blues.

That is not to say that there are some small minorities who persist in such behaviour.

That says more about them than about the vast majority of Evertonians.

It should not be tolerated or excused in any way - we are all human beings regardless of accidents of birthplace or ethnicity.

Watch the RS become the victims in all this, as per usual

Of course this is a society problem, not a problem specific to one particular football club.

However, when they wear t shirts defending a player that admitted to racially abusing another player, it is probably natural for their fans to believe that anfield is a safe space for them to vent their racism.

We have some racists fans. It's a reflection of a wider issue that shouting racist abuse/ making fun of/being abusive to people of differing colours, races and religions has crept out of the woodwork.
