Racism isn't confined to the older generation.
My boy played in a Jewish team in the Watford League and his team were subjected to on field snide comments every week. They were a very good team and were told to keep their cool and let their feet do the talking.
After one game where the abuse was really sickening I faced up their manager who was really apologetic. Our boys had won and after the game he kept his boys in the dressing room and gave them an almighty bollocking and made them come out and apologise to our boys.
From then on the word must have spread thought the league and the abuse declined rapidly.
Racism in any form must be stood up to and the younger generation where there is more assimilation and mixed marriages are hopefully better educated and will be more tolerant as time goes by.

Totally agree.
And just to add- we don't have to accept racism when an old person says it. You can still question their views- I have done this a few times lately and found them to be more shocked at being called out on it- especially football fans- what clubs haven't had great black players?

Nothing Racist !!!
Essentially it seems to be:
Yay got my tickets
Boo I didn't get a ticket
Has anyone got spare tickets
And transport stuff

They're mostly saying that we'll rotate heavily like we did for the Villa game and so if they turn up and score first they can beat us.
They seem quite confident but as that's largely down to how many of our first team they expect us to rest, that's pretty reasonable - especially as they've been pretty handy away from home in the league.

Also, going 16 matches unbeaten with 12 of them wins inspires a bit of confidence, even if they're going up against a top side.

Really? That's a pretty good record. Let's hope the side we put out treat them with respect and do a professional job on them. We could without being overconfident, the victim of a giant killing, and having it rammed down our throats for decades to come. Port Vale anyone?

Has David Baddiel been in the media yet to explain why it's all our fault?

The guy on the video posted over at Bluemoon earlier begging everyones forgiveness and apologising. Says he got caught up in the moment didn't mean it the way it came out, but was intended as banter.

It's easy to say that once you've been caught but at least he's got the balls to come out and apologise I guess..

Oh, I agree with your sentiment entirely. Just surprised that he's gone on to the main Man City messageboard, confessed and apologised - better than most in my opinion, and not something I could Imagine West Ham or Chelsea fans doing.......in fact, I'm pretty sure they'd deny all, claim their innocent and then tell us its our own fault for associating with the Jewish community in the first place!

I'm going to take it at face value at the moment. That post might make a lot of other fans who acquiesce to find the courage to alter their behaviour instead of joining in.

Not only that, but he says that he turned himself in to the police. His apology is obviously sincere if that's the case and he deserves great credit.
