It’s all the more bizarre when we have a Kilkenny born player in our midfield and several other players with Irish ancestry.
It’s a good job they’ve never heard of Sierra Leone (they probably think it sits between the Ghia and the RS Cosworth in the Ford range) or Conteh would have to listen to weird chants about the Sierra Leone civil war.

It takes a brave man to challenge or shout down a mob of racists who are quick to violence.
You hear casual racism on a daily basis, especially at football matches and would spend half your life in arguments if you challenged every time.
Starts at the top, and many countries, ourselves included, are governed by right wing parties nowadays, which is alarming and history shows it rarely ends well.
The government spout right wing and racist bollox all the time. It's insidious.
I've been going to BP for over 60 years and have never heard any fan make a racist comment, casual or otherwise in a conversation. Hot heads as in this current guise will always be hot heads but I don't think that tars anybody else.

They are simpletons, probably never read a book in their lives or even watched a documentary. Absolute knuckle draggers

Indeed, before we all start self-flagellating ourselves let's ascertain how big a problem this really is. I have never heard sectarian chanting at Town. That's why I challenged OP on his definition of "reports" and what he really means by that (awaiting a reply on that).

Never heard anything on tv thank goodness.
It must have been a few idiots that spoil it for all the good fans.

Only around 40 years for me but I’ve heard it many times and always challenge it because if you just ignore it you are part of the problem. There simply no space for it. Whilst others may not be as happy to challenge it there and then, there are routes you can take. These arseholes don’t even know what they are chanting about, they are caught up in an Andrew Tate swirl of macho circle masturbations. Educate them whichever way you can.

I was stood on the concourse having a beer and there was a loud rendition of this https://youtube.com/shorts/WcWX4V8CJDU?si=QBwSnC64cSMCxOBF Must have been in excess of a 100 joining in. Then there was maybe 30-40 blokes singing oh Tommy Robinson. Not the first time I've heard either of these chants.

I can’t hear the words in that first Rangers song, but what the hell sectarian politics have to do with us I fail to understand. Just as bad is the reality of hearing anyone who supports Town singing ‘oh Tommy Robinson’. Absolutely f***ing moronic and sickening.

Pathetic. I think the people who sing that song either don't realise, or just ignore that there are Terrorists on the other side too, like the UVF for instance. Ever heard of the Shankill Butchers? Look that up and see what barbarians they are.
