someone else who doesn't understand the difference between making what is possibly a racist remark and actually being a racist , and I'll argue that difference with anyone
people throw the racist label around far too easily these days
i'll have to stop making jokes about GG and sheep or CF and TOWIE in case someone accuses me of being racist too ...

Disgusting actions from a tiny minority of fans. This type of barbaric action should result in a swift and harsh punishment.
Can Chelsea be said to control their fans on a foreign tube though? Not sure the club can be fined where they have literally no control....

The clubs do tend to take the flack, don't they? A bit unfair, you could say.

Hats off to the guy still trying to get on the train in the face of that pack of idiots.
Just watched it, though without sound. Indeed, fair play to him. I would have walked off, fearing a beating.
I have been to many sporting events, and hundreds of football matches, but for some reason only football supporters in a pack revert to base instincts and tribalism and anyone who they think doesn't fit or wears the colours of another team suddenly becomes the enemy and fair game for aggressive behaviour. Fortunately I haven't witnessed any racist fuelled incidents but even I have to own up to sometimes getting wrapped up in the whole hatred thing for opposing fans, bloody ridiculous when you think rationally about it.
