Nah. Too intelligent and articulate. Not enough bigotry.

Cool. Thanks

What you thanking Tom for! I'm sure I said all that stuff earlier, in more straightforward terms too!
My straightforward question got a straightforward answer without cat-calling, rancour or abuse. It's a shame more posters don't follow that example.

Our little clique being pretty much the whole of STW - you should see how much thread drift we can get when we try.

ps - could you point out the humorous comments of yours we forgot to laugh at?

But I didn't do any cat-calling or rancouring or abusing. 🙁

OK - let's swing it back.

Are songs about the length of black players penises common in football grounds or has this chap been singled out? This is the first time I've heard of this issue, despite the fact we've had black players in professional football for decades. I'd have thought that if there were any racist overtones it would have cropped up before now.

You mean when you declared that if you were a pro footballer you would be chuffed if there was a terrace chant about your 'old man'? That was your significant contribution?

Well, erm...thanks for the insight

Does it matter? The player has asked them to stop. What more is required?

I was thinking aloud earlier ..and wasn't aware that I had named anyone in particular ..merely making an observation ..but hell if the cap fits ..
Seems as though I've picked a scab that hasn't healed ?
As mentioned ..I now have a fair idea who to avoid ..as in the folks I find boring ..dont worry about it too much..

Straight forward questions get get straight forward answers, yours wasn't a loaded question. So why should it?

CharlieMungus, I think has recieved some shit for questioning evolution is an older thread. Some new posts reveal that he's actually been working a lot harder than most people to develop a better understanding of human genetics, it's quite commendable - if a bit suprising as most do not.

This place get's used to trolling, so some of the more errr robust responses take that into context. I'm guilty of it as well.

Why thanks! Actually, I want questioning evolution, I was questioning people's use of evolution as go to explanation of stuff when actually they don't have a good understanding of it themselves and actually, end up being wrong as a result. In that respect I was trying to understand a bit more about genetics.

Don't worry too much about genetics, the research is mostly fabricated in order to receive masive funding for the companies involved. It's one big scam, if it was real then something useful would have come from it by now.

So- is this form of chanting commonly directed at black players?

No I reckon you called me out as dull and talking in riddles for giving a clear indication of what would be considered racist. But hey if you don't want to answer if you agree with that definition that is up to you.

Back OT, Lukaku needs to be careful what he wishes for! Football crowds being football crowds will never do what they don't want to do....and, by raising the issue now, he creates the possibility of opposition crowds singing an even more demeaning (if that's the right word) chant. 🙂

If they are racist then they will get booted out and banned from attending. That is the modern world, people should probably get used to that.

Of course...I meant more songs about the size of his appendage, which as we've discussed at length, isn't exactly racist!

Unless you assume that it is because of his race, in which case it is.

Fortunately it's not the posters on STW who get to decide what constitutes racist chanting

Yeah but you can't tell what people are assuming, can you? If someone in the crowd had heard it on very good terms that Fellani had a supersized knob and made up a song about it....what would people think then?

Maybe 2027 may see an end to casual racism, can only hope

Look at Lukaku,
can't kick a ball,
and I've heard people say,
he's got no dick at all?

I know you've asked this question a few times, but you probably won't get an accurate answer on here as, you'd have to go to a lot of football matches at a lot of different grounds to have any idea. My guess would be 'no'.

Stuart 'Psycho' Pearce could have got upset for being called a Psychopath, but it was a form of reverence by his fans. Its a way for the fans to put Lukaku on a pedestal and sing his praises! (IMO)

lol Rockape ever heard is sung about a white player?
Well done for the spirited defense and nice warning that complaining will end up with loads of abuse.
Maybe 2037....
Maybe go back a page and read the kick it out report of increased reporting with the most being in the Pro Game

Alan Wright (5'4" smallest premier league player, and bald) was revered by Villa fans who sang Alan Wright, Alan Wright, little Alan Wright. He's got no hair but we don't care; Little Alan Wright.
