[Jay Park]

You did specifically say that Cardiff had a reputation for violence and racism!!!

ever been to Anfield as a Mancunian? I'll leave it up to you to imagine...

WTF has that got to do with anything?

 

[1927]

Yes

But we dont!

Weren't there 4 Cardiff fans nicked at reading last year over racist chants?

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

And where we going to find another right back to replace him?

Southgate has applied for special dispensation to replace TAA with 5 players. He's going for Wan-Bissaka, Max Aarons, Tariq Lamptey, James Justin and Japhet Tanganga.

Yes, but you need to know what they were arrested for!

One of the sections of the public order act I suppose

 

[souljacker]

Racially aggravated abuse, which they weren't charged for in the end.

One for tackling, one for passing, one for running with the ball, one for crossing, one for assists. Cunning.

They were singing “always shit on the English side of the bridge”, in response to Reading fans calling us sheep shaggers, no arrests of Reading fans tho!

So if they've some twats nicked and you've some twats nicked then the one cancels out the other?

Bit tricky for you to take the moral high ground here seeing as Arsenal had three times as many fans arrested for racial abuse than Cardiff recently.

It's not actually racist abuse, is it?

 

[The39thStep]

Can’t see the merit about tit for tat accusations about teams supporters tbh . Racists on the terraces need to be confronted and we should be supporting all club supporters to confront them rather than condemning and tarnishing all supporters of the club . It’s a serious and pressing fight not a game of faux moral one upmanship.

On topic, please. This is about England at the Euros, no?

Romania on Sunday (5pm, ITV) - you've got to assume we'll see our likely tournament starting 11?

as i've pointed out many times on these boards, being arrested and being guilty are two very different things. being arrested proves fuck all. so why you bring up this meaningless comparison i don't know.

They didn’t have anyone nicked! Plus how is what we were singing racist?

Wait. You're trying to defend them?

There's racist cunts supporting every team. Including Arsenal. And if you want ' meaningless comparisons,' it's you droning on about Cardiff City fans in a thread about the English national team. What have they got to do with the Euros?

i didn't say they did. the point i was making is you seem unhappy about the arrests on one side not being balanced by the arrests on the other. i haven't offered an opinion on whether what they were singing was racist, so please don't make out i have.

 

[Badgers]

Turn it in lads...

you're as dishonest as the day is long. which isn't so good at this time of year. why do you introduce a news story from 2019 and make out it's current?

i'm not defending anyone, i'm pointing out that being nicked for something is no actual evidence of having done what you're accused of. and it isn't. as for droning on about cardiff fans, you've brought arsenal fans into this for no purpose i can see other than baiting.

I’m unhappy that we had anyone arrested for racist abuse when it’s clearly not racist, yet the headlines on the news that evening was Cardiff fans being arrested for racist chanting.

I said 'recently' not 'currently.' Try reading things properly before slopping around ignorant accusations of 'dishonesty.'

recently. right. and the 2019 story relates to the seasons 2014/15 to 2017/18. really recent. utterly dishonest.

I'm putting you on ignore because you're destroying this thread.

and we'd not be here if you'd not decided to rake this up and bait me. if you really thought that i was destroying this thread, you'd have barred me from it. let's just move on.
