Then there is a percentage who think its no worse than any other abuse that people suffer, gingers have had hell since day 1, and try been short and fat. But the law says its illegal so thats that, but it wants putting into perspective and id be surprised after this if any kind of chants like that are heard again at Rovers. To me a real racist is someone who would hurt another person because of the colour of there skin and i dont think any rovers fan in that ground sunday would ever do that There’s plenty of them on this forum .

I wouldn't say it's 'point scoring', I would say it is just some people wanting to go watch a game of rugby, have a laugh, maybe a drink or two, a bit of banter with other fans and have a good day out. They probably don't want to see drunken idiots fighting or offering the world out, vandalising property and being over abusive in their singing. Not much to ask for.

No that’s not too much to ask for I agree but report that to the correct authorities like the club or even the police. What good does it do putting it all over social media for other clubs fans to jump all over it it just makes us as a club look worse . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to ask for. non of that happened sunday just a couple of unsavory chants, and the snowflake rovers have had an absolute field day ever since, they bandy the racist word out like confetti totally diluting the word just to take the moral high ground on social media falling over themselves to be the most outraged.

Terrybill Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I'm not sure you fully appreciate the offensiveness of the chant and who it's going to offend and how offended they are likely to be the other unacceptable stuff becomes acceptable when such as you try to belittle those that complain and excuse those that make the offensive remarks, most is beyond supporting your team and being classed as banter sadly the problem is sporting wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrybill Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 You underline this problem, with your limited half-witted responses. The likes of you are the biggest part of the problem. I would be very interested to know the angle of your forehead and the nature of your gait so I could better judge how much of a Neanderthal you are. my guess is acute and knuckle dragging.

Snowflakes like you are the problem, as for half witted responses maybe you should do a little research on neanderthals because describing them as acute and knuckle dragging couldnt be further from the truth and im delighted to be called a neanderthal and take it as a great compliment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Pike Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 For me at POR I have never been offended by the home fans chanting and was there for the Bradford match and didn’t hear owt however surely an announcement at the start of the match that if anyone is racist chanting will be removed from the ground by the Stewards will surely do the trick bearing in mind if the Stewards do their job which they are paid for.As for swearing I am not condoning it but I hear worse where I live from eight year olds and on a level X 100 I was at the Leeds v Aston Villa match near the corner flag as Grealish was taking a corner and Fev doesn’t compare on this scale as kids and women were worse with the abuse than the blokes.

Other than frozen rain, a "snowflake" is a term used to describe an overly sensitive person who thinks the world revolves around them. Snowflakes gasp in horror when they hear an opinion they don't like, and believe they have a right to be protected from anything unpalatable. Today's generation of sensitive uni students are often labelled snowflakes because they receive "trigger warnings" on books and lectures that might contain upsetting subjects. Snowflake youngsters were horrified at un-PC jokes in the 90s sitcom Friends, which they saw for the first time when it was released on Netflix. The term was also used when people began complaining about old James Bond films starring Sean Connery. The name comes from the phrase "special snowflake", meaning somebody who is self-obsessed and fragile, easily offended, or unable to deal with opposing opinions.

Monkeymagic22 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I’m not right on at all, just someone whose not totally influenced by the Daily Mail/Sun. let’s face it, idiots chanting offensive stuff are only going to lead to the club facing a big fine.
