    Yes

    And no, nowhere near. I hear far worse on a regular basis.

    Would be pretty funny if there was a ginger in that end.

    What, because a millionaire is being called "ginger"?

    I agree, far too much to handle.
    So it is ok to racially abuse millionaire footballers who are black?

    Double standards, should be given an 8 match ban.
    Double standards, Suarez should have had a 3 year ban. :rolleyes:

    Are English fans capable of coming up with any songs that don't all sound the same?

    As bad as racism? Oh dear lord. Never attend a football game, would be my only advice.

    This is banter. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I have a question though, which could explain the thread. Are you ginger?

    Sheffield United fans chant at Steve Quin "The Ginger Messi" is that offensive as well?

    Nope.

    It's just double standards.

    Let's imagine that Alex McLeish is black.

    The Blues fans sing "The blackie is yours" and "Black tw@t m'Lord"

    There would be uproar.

    All that's wrong with modern football fans. You're happy to show 'frustration' towards your own team and are probably the first to boo, but are vehemently against any sort of chanting towards the opposition, even like this one which is obviously a light hearted joke.
    :facepalm:

    If your side aren't putting in a shift, you're fine to vent imo. Whenever I'm sat in Anfield and the side are looking woeful, I have a right to facepalm...

    I don't see a point in swearing and shouting skinhead abuse at other travelling fans / players though, I pay to see the players I support and team I love. Light hearted jokes to players are ok, Lampard's played along with the kop on an occasion or two and had a laugh back.
    Don't worry Marshyy is ignorant to say his comment. You are right, no need to swear.

    That right there would be racism from yourself.

    Hair colour and skin colour are completely different.

    Thus why there's no organisations called 'show gingerism the red card'.

    Lighten up buddy!

    Not really.

    They are both physical characteristics which you are born with.

    Ginger people do not have a history of being persercuted, enslaved and killed for the colour of their hair.

    So I don't see how its comparable to racism.
