Jackson and Nsiala songs 16:08 - Aug 19 with 3785 views | markbrennansghost | Was at the game Saturday and heard a couple of songs about Jackson and Nsiala being sung. Both songs made reference to a certain part of their body! The majority of people laughed when they heard it. I remember a similar song about Lukaku being sung by United fans which got condemned as racist as it was reinforcing a racial stereotype. I realise that there are a lot worse names to be called and there are a lot worse things to be levelled at someone, but with the chants at Luton as well, is this a slightly worrying trend? I haven’t made my mind up if this is just banter or a little bit racist. What does anyone else think! | | | | |

We're not exactly the most racially diverse fanbase, think I can count on one hand the number of times in the last 20 years I've seen a fan in an Ipswich shirt who wasn't white. Most of our predominantly white middle class fans who hardly ever set foot outside Suffolk probably won't consider this racist however. | |

Just remember when the Lukaku song was about there was a massive debate on talkSPORT and they hammered it for being racist. If Toto likes it ....... | | | |

Their drunken caterwauling wasnt very clear, I thought they were singing 'his gut's fecking massive', but now you mention it that doesnt make so much sense. | |

"predominantly white middle class fans who hardly ever set foot outside Suffolk " that describes about two people, unless your definition of middle class is fairly lax I reckon. | |

Jackson and Nsiala songs on 17:49 - Aug 19 with 3440 views | Simonds92 | Genuine question, what if this was sung about Wolfy? I would argue its difficult to argue why people think he's well endowed, maybe the person who started the song can verify, they may well know something that we don't. I think re. The Lukaku incident he was asked to condemn it but we have no idea whether he was actually offended. | | | |

That WAS what I meant but not sure if anyone else would see that. edit-I was going to add an explanation to the original, maybe I should have. [Post edited 19 Aug 2019 17:50]

I only heard it on the train on the way. Maybe it hasn’t had a proper outing yet! | | | |
