Frenzied Posted 9 August 2005 Share Posted 9 August 2005 A number of Hull fans were heard chanting songs about the London Bombings at their game with QPR last Saturday: Fans taunted over London bombings Police have launched an investigation after Queens Park Rangers fans were taunted about the London bombings. The club's supporters were subjected to chants including, "You're just a town full of bombers" by Hull City fans. Hull City chairman Adam Pearson apologised to QPR and promised to ban anyone found to be involved in the abuse during the game on Saturday. Police said a 21-year-old man from East Hull, arrested for racist chanting, was fined and banned from football matches. Some upset QPR fans left the KC Stadium before the end of the game. Both Hull City and Humberside Police are studying CCTV footage to identify those responsible. One QPR fan, called Val, who was at the game, told BBC News: "Suddenly the Hull fans started shouting songs about the London bombings. "It was really upsetting. We came out of the ground in tears. I couldn't believe it." Hull's police commander Ch Supt Sean White, said: "I fully agree with the sentiments of anger and disgust. "We're talking about 30 to 40 shameless cowards who made these chants towards the end of the game. We're just not going to tolerate them. "We did intervene and made a number of arrests on Saturday. It has brought a great deal of shame to Hull City. "What I really need is the support of the public. While we know their faces we don't know all of their names." 'Disappointed and embarrassed' Mr Pearson has apologised to QPR supporters on behalf the club and said he was "extremely disappointed and embarrassed" about the chant. "We have clear video footage of the group of youths responsible for this appalling chant, and when we identify and locate them, they will at the very least be banned from the stadium for life, and hopefully with sufficient evidence, they will be liable for official police charges." He added that two people were removed from the stadium over the chant, and were being interviewed. A section of Hull City's stadium is to be closed until the police investigation has finished. Source I just desperately hope that none of our fans do anything similar. Although considering the behaviour of some fans against Leeds last season it wouldn't surprise.

Frenzied Posted 9 August 2005 Author Share Posted 9 August 2005 I just hope that if any section of our fans, although most likely the L1 chavs, starts such abuse the rest of us have the guts to shut them up as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted 10 August 2005 Share Posted 10 August 2005 I was at QPR tonight, for QPR - Ipswich. none of our numb-nutted fans decided to chant anything like this. I would have thought if anyone tried to start it they'd have been told were to go by our fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted 10 August 2005 Share Posted 10 August 2005 Absolutely disgraceful. However, what also strikes me about that incident is that a fan was actually arrested for "racist chanting." I'd love to take all scumbags like that and throw them in jail, but my beliefs in the preservation of civil liberties would override all of those thoughts.

Sod civil liberties, Jordan, can't we live in a society without mindless idiots? 153885[/snapback] I agree with you but I thought that's what this Government wanted. Hence the policy where no-one is allowed to "fail" at school and universities/employers can't pick the best but have to spread the opportunities around according to race/social background etc. Look what they give those "Mindless idiot" clerics nice car/enough money/free operations etc etc. Who on earth would wanna be bright? A lot of the "bright ones can't get jobs at all cos of all the social selection. Why do you think it's so hard to find enough doctors/dentists/nurses? Cos a whole load of the bright ones have left. They well know when they're not wanted cos it was just the same in Harold Wilson's day. You'll always get a few mindless idiots in football grounds while you've got mindless idiots in Government.

I think you'll find there are too many being allowed to fail, by persistent skiving, not studying for GCSEs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
