the 'you used to be english you're not any more' chant

[Raw Dykes]

Oh like Nottingham hasn't got any ethnic minorities ? They have the worst gun crimes in the whole of the UK .

It is racist! It appears you're saying there's a link between Nottingham's gun crime and it's ethnic minority population. Do you think that only non-whites shoot people?

[Raw Dykes]

Are people still that stupid? Some people need to accept that the world has moved on since the 19th century.

It'd a shame that some of our supporters of different ethnic minorities feel they have to just put up with / ignore racist chants. A few of my Asian mates will go to home games but are really reluctant to go to away games for fear of possible abuse. It's something that needs working on. I honestly believe City could attract gates of 35-40k if they did more to appeal to the Asian and Black communities - there's a massive untapped market there. There's not much we can do about knobheads at other clubs though

Seems brainless that fans still act like this and yet support the numerous foreign players we have in our teams.

I've often thought about this. I think that figure could potentially be a lot more than that. Maybe around 50k? The population of Leicester city centre is mostly non-white, but how many non-white fans do you see at the ground? A handful, if any, which is both a real shame, and a puzzle. More should be done to encourage a larger gate at the KP - as you say, there is a giant potential market that remains untapped. If something was done about this, we'd have a full house every home game before long, and would have to consider extending the stadium, especially if we get back to the PL.

To me, it seems pretty obvious that they were referring to the club ownership situation.

Of course, that won't stop another "does that statement count as racist" argument lasting for another 8 or 9 pages

I assumed it was a stab at the large Asian population in Leicester. I wouldn't worry about it, just words.

I'd bet that statistics show that the majority of gun crime in Nottingham is done by blacks though and if so, he isn't being racist, merely stating facts. Facts aren't racist.

As for this chant, forget whether they're referring to the Indians or the Thais, let's sing "We used to be bankrupt, but not any more"

I'm much more in favour of a positive song/chant than a negative one.

It will all stop in 2053 when Leicester, Nottingham and Derby is renamed Eastmidtropolis.

Never mind the "cause " of gun crime in Nottingham just explain why it happens mostly in one area of Nottingham and by one section of the community . Now if you want to debate about that i'm up for it .

Except it doesn't.

Google the name "Colin Gunn" (a notorious gangster who used to run at least one Nottingham council estate) and maybe you'll think twice in future before posting racial stereotypes.

Let's leave that type of thing to the scum.

[LCFC OK]

Master fox

Surely 'not being English anymore' is more of is more a compliment than a criticism.

WTF

I think MF likes to see himself as this super PC person and attacks any comment that he feels could possibly be seen as being racist and all he has ended up doing is making a racist comment.

So your a better person if you're not English!

DOH!

I am very proud to be English and that does not make me racist.

I guess MF is one of those idiots that will be secretly hoping England get beat tonight just so he can say how crap they are!

[leicesterseddon]

It's just a new version of the same old racist shit we've had off them for years.

The irony being, of course, that despite Leicester's massive Asian population, the football club's fanbase is still overwhelmingly white...

Unfortunate name.

You're spot on though, gun crime rates fell dramatically when he was jailed. I'm sure I read somewhere that the number of fatal shootings in Nottingham fell by about 50% in the years after he was jailed. Very much a 'Mr Big' character.

and then in 2084 we will all realise it has always been called Eastmidtropolis.

Rather ironic coming from them given they have a manager who speaks pigeon Dutch lol suppose we could have sung back " you used to be rich but not any more " ps when will the moderators get the site clocks right ?

If you log out and view the forum, then you'll see the forum time as you'll be a guest. The time is right for me. This is because if you go to settings you need to have the settings correct (Daylight Saving Time on/off etc.) so it's your problem the clocks are wrong.

I would like to point out that I have a morbid fear of blowjobs from girls with big tits.

Just for when you're getting Room 101 ready.

Chill out people.

Lee Camp changed his international availability from English to Irish leading up to to the game.

Pretty sure it was sung about this decision.

Stop going mental

Except the implication (whether intentional or not) was that the gun crime was a result of ethnicity. While it may be a fact that a large proportion of gun crime in Nottingham might be committed by black youths (I have no idea of the figures), to imply it's because they're black ignores any underlying causes that aren't on the same level as "he's got diff'rent colour skin".

Anyway, we were talking about udders?
