I really hope not. That would be more shameful than the result.

You can’t just say something like that and give no examples and/or context.

Our fans who go to games get soughteted enough on here already, without being given ammunition with posts like these.

Example...?


‘One Boris Johnson’
‘ENGLAND ENGLAND ENGLAND’
‘God save our gracious queen’

I’m sure I just heard a quiet chant about Tommy Robinson that didn’t get going.

Those three chants are your examples of ‘EDL chanting tonight, verging on racist’.

Seriously?

Not sure any of those would upset anyone really. Having said that, they were obviously meant to.

I’m not one to usually complain but just seems a shame to resort to those chants, as subtle as they may be. I’m not being a preacher, just don’t think it’s necessary.

Context is everything though surely?

They don’t normally get sung so why are we singing them at Luton?

Idiots in all fan bases unfortunately.

There’s a guy near me who repeatedly makes subtle homophobic comments each game, despite people pulling him up on it from time to time.

A couple of years ago a bloke came out with an outrageous racist comment which was rightly shut down.

Those chants you mention in their own right are mild, but you’re right - they are designed to provoke.

A line from our nation anthem is considered racist?

Who for some reason ONLY feel pride when they're in Luton? Maybe it is a thinly-veiled compliment after all then...

Sorry, who in their right mind would downvote a post condemning homophobia or racism?!!!

More Brexit chanting then Edl chanting by that example. By definition to the modern largely middle class left that's as good as racism,and the word England is equally offensive as they are anti States, ethnicity and borders. Just Google it and you'll find tons of examples of this view.

‘Great British Passport, you’ll never have that’ is the new one

I’d leave it mate, those commenting clearly haven’t put 2 and 2 together, so it isn’t worth it.

Football fans are just a cross-section of society, so while it's sad that some of ours are c-units, it's not really a surprise.
