Expected for Chelsea fans.
You should see the ones we have on the footy thread. Oh my.
I go to football matches and depending on the time it finishes I may go out afterwards. Just because I may end up drunk after a game does not paint me the same as them. In a pub near me many football fans home and away supporters go for a drink after a match. Yes you see some banter but you never see stuff like this. Football as with all things in life will have the minority that end up acting disgustingly.

I fucking hate the generalisations that come out when shit like this happens. Yeah, it's appalling but just because a small group of Chelsea fans acts appallingly does that make their whole fanbase scum? No, it doesn't. Are all football fans pieces of shit because of the actions of some ultras? Nope. Guess what, football is a very, very popular sport, and therefore you get a lot of fans from a lot of different social groups and yeah, occasionally you'll get a group of people who have some disgusting views on the world who will also have a passion for a football club, and use their football club as a platform to express their views but they aren't twats because they like football, they're twats because they already were twats before hand.

Fucking low class hooligans. A disgrace to all upstanding British folk. They should learn how proper racists do things: allow him onto the train, but make him feel uncomfortable the entire ride.
The annoying thing is that actual racists will use incidents like this as evidence for why they aren't racist, as if you have to be burning crosses to have harmful prejudices towards people of a different color.
What the fuck, man?

He receives the ball, people make monkey chants, he smashes it into the top right and shuts them all up.
And another one here,
Dani Alves eating Banana

Haha yeah. I was so happy with Alves when he did that.
A lot of footballers, fans and celebs started tweeting eating bananas after the incident.
Just a great reaction.

He's not very intimidating in real life.Or on mumble for that matter.
I think it was a mild spate of shared mental illness. Just had a bad week. We should be more understanding. This happens to everyone at some time or another. They were ok once they got back home, and also decidedly non-racist.
I think the black gentleman should probably go on with his day and stop looking for things to be upset about, like being pushed off of a train. At least the train wasn't moving , you know?

Not surprised its chelshit fans. it is the least classiest club in the world, they also have the worst fans who are not only aniti football but also racist as this vid now proves.

I'm personally not surprised at this video. People forget that not long before Abramovic, Chelsea were best known for their hooligan element and averaging less than 20,000 a season. No matter how many plastics have jumped on the bandwagon since, there still has to be that element in their hardcore fan base.

That's not new or surprising. "I love black players, as long as they're doing well on my team."

This is the club that was booing Rio Ferdinand for supporting his brother against their racist captain.

Eto was awesome. More players should do this.

Hahaha no it won't and fuck off with that shit. If the club is working with the police to find and ban these cunts, the club shouldn't be punished for it.
Clubs should be doing more to ban racists and uefa and fifa should be actually hurting teams that don't, rather than shitty little fines.

So many people using this to take digs at Chelsea in general hahaha y so mad? Seriously leave your general football bias against Chelsea out of this, you guys are looking petty and bitter.
To be fair, certain small parts of the Chelsea support have long had connections/ties to far right wing groups like Combat 18 etc
It's probably not so much to do with football, as football being the excuse for a bunch of avowed right wing nutters to have a day out.
They should be giving harsh points penalties. 3 point reduction when found guilty.
To be fair, if he wasn't black, British hoolies rampaging in Paris is almost culture.

I've been to countless football games at various English clubs and I've never seen or heard anything like this, inside or outside the stadium. Hell there are people from all kinds of racial background attending football games, even at Chelsea. Better still there are and long have there been black players at Chelsea. Didier Drogba is a legend there, my dad has a picture of the guy on his wall.
That's why this incident is so shocking; how can we still have football fans like this is in 2015. I hope they can be identified and given life stadium bans or criminal charges pushed if France has such laws.

Chelsea fans. Yep.
Every team has racist supporters, it's a well-known fact. Racism isn't something that is exclusive to Chelsea or Liverpool. You see it, to some degree, in every team in every league. Narrowing it down to a 'cuntier' team like Liverpool is ridiculous. Maybe you need to get all the facts before making such ignorant claims.
I can't believe what I'm reading. The guys on the train point-blank said they're racist and they like it. The reason - the one and only reason - they didn't let the guy on was because he was black. Are you blind? Ignorant? Stupid? Or maybe all three?
It's true that practically all teams has racist supporters, but not all teams has a firm with such troubled racist past as the headhunters.
That is of course not to say that all or even most of Chelsea fans are racist, they are not, but there is a reason why racist cunts tend to gravitate toward such teams.
I agree. I've been going to matches, both home and away, even since the late 80's and the only thing I can recall that scans as racism is Arsenal's "dirty fucking yid" chant.
The reason this is shocking is precisely because it doesn't really happen much nowadays. Not in the UK, anyway.
Oh, trust me, I know certain teams - and Chelsea in particular - have a murky past where racism is concerned. I've seen all the 'football hooliganism' films, which are actually more like documentaries, and I know of people who have had run ins with Chelsea mobs. But to say racism is exclusive to one teams fans and not another is just plain ignorant. The same applies to American football fans.
You were going to games since the 80s and you don't remember John Barnes getting monkey chants and bananas thrown at him?
He wasn't the only one who got that by the way, just probably the highest profile player to get the treatment.
American football is a different beast I think.
In football (soccer) there are clubs with strong anti-racist traditions and clubs with racist traditions.
Edit: I don't know which movies are you talking about, but most of the hooligan movies I've seen are a bit bullshit.
United used to have a "I'd rather be a paki than a scouse(r)" chant back in like the 70s or 80s. My Dad used to hear it whenever he went down. I don't think it's that bad nowadays but you do see/hear the odd moron at the game making monkey gestures or saying things like "black cunt". It is quite rare though.

These guys are so getting bans. Story has blown up over night here and it's pretty much headline news.

I'm aware that happened, but I wasn't going to anyway Liverpool games when I was 5. My first one there was 1991, and I didn't notice anything. Then again, I was 9 years old, so who knows.
So you're telling me there's no racist American football fans out there? C'mon, man, you seem intelligent. You can't seriously be denying that racism doesn't exist in the NFL fanbase? Or even the NHL? And even the NBA? Racism isn't exclusive to football, just like how it isn't exclusive to one single team. It's a worldwide issue.

I don't think there can be one when they're chanting about being racist.
