Moronic, ignorant bunch of arseclowns. All I'm saying on the matter.

Have you seen him though!? XD j/k. I'm in no way racist and of all people in the world, I'd have thought Malaysians wouldn't be up in the packing order.

Well said.

Although I do not agree with any racist chat or anything like that (Munich, Hillsborough etc) but every fan has a selection of fans that chant these sort of songs.

It's wrong

yeh its simular to how we sing 'murderers' and 'we've won it 3 times' to liverpool and sing about the leeds fans who were stabbed in turkey and how we recieve abuse about the munich air crash and duncan edwards' head by rival supporters. just no place for it in football.

Your not alone, when at Old Trafford and 70,000 people chat "murderers" you can't help but get involved due to tension and passion etc.. it's not until you leave the ground and think "what a prat I am" (well I do anyways)

Unfortunaly things like this will always be in football. Football is the most passionate thing in the world without a doubt and it causes debate and arguments even between the best of friends. Thats why i dont like it when people say "you dont get that much racism/anti-semestic chants in other sports" and thats because football is the most watched and most anticipated. It will happen but the best thing is to take it with a pinch of salt.

Spurs have taken it on board and thats what other teams should do. They realise if they chant it about themselfs then it wont mean anything if others chant it.

Agreed, it was only last week i was at Fratton Park signing "Tottenham Hotspur are the yids" but no way would i class myself racist.

i think everyone should learn from man city who are taking step to ban those supporters who sing 'munich' and their fans who are yelling 'red scum' everytime the 'm-word' is about to be sung!

i remember when i was about 10 i went elland road with my dad. loads of united fans were singing 'galatasaray' outside a pub. i joined in and my dad was fuming. he sold our tickets to a tout and drove home, i guess i learnt my lesson then and havent sung anything of this nature again.

They should yer, i heard a good interview from David Baddiel (in the Lightning Seeds, done the 3 lions song in 1996 for people who dont know him) and he is a massive Chelsea fan and also Jewish. He said he was at a game once and a Chelsea fan shouted out "**** the Jews" and he turned around and said "im Jewish and support Chelsea" and the fan said "well **** you too then" and David Baddiel ended up leaving the ground and dosen't like going to games now.

Malaysia is pretty bad for discrimination. Having a non-Muslim friend from Malaysia, the government discrimination against non-Muslim children is pretty extreme.

Really am surprised by that. Never heard of anything like this mentioned before

There's a lot of it; from scholarships to censorship.

My friend, who's incredibly hard working, has decided to leave Malaysia permanently as he can't stand it anymore. He speaks perfect English, as opposed to the Muslim Malaysians we've got who can hardly speak anything but Arabic and Malay.

That's like saying "I'm not a homosexual, I just have *** with men!".
