More alleged racism from our fans: What the hell?

By: Jack | January 21st, 2012

As if today’s disappointing result wasn’t enough to elicit anger, we now have news that a section of Chelsea supporters were reported to authorities after allegedly making racist remarks about Anton Ferdinand as they were traveling back from Norfolk via train.

Chelsea Football Club is concerned to hear that a small number of fans travelling back by train from Norwich were alleged to be involved in racist chants and comment. We are working to help the relevant authorities identify those responsible and will take the strongest possible action should these allegations prove to be true. The club, like the overwhelming majority of our fans, strongly believe that all forms of discrimination are abhorrent and have absolutely no place in society.

This latest incident comes on the heels of questionable chants from the Chelsea support in November and supposed abuse from Chelsea fans toward one of our own, Daniel Sturridge, a month later. Allow me a query if you don’t mind: What in the hell is going on?

These appalling – truly appalling – acts have no place around our beloved club. Not only are these sad souls feeding the media’s perception of Chelsea but they also seem to be creating a vile atmosphere in and around the club. I trust these bastards will be found out sooner rather than later, and subsequently dealt with in an appropriate manner.

I do not think world "Black" even if Terry or anybody uses is racist word. I strongly believe Antony Ferdinand made a big deal of it to simply destroy John Terry's position in International team, so Rio Ferdinand has chance to get back to International Level ....
As a person whose wife is African-American and spend most of my time among African-American , I support every movement against Antony Ferdinand.
Racism is wrong ... but those who want to use it to get credit and destroy others position must be punished in worse ways

Name and shame the fucking idiots. Life time ban from all football stadiums and other venues. They are an absolute disgrace. Chelsea will have nothing to do with them.

Get rid of those idiotic pathetic bastards who are tarnishing Chelsea name they should be banned from attending any match for the rest of their lives or else it will be the club that will be dragged and its image spoilt

I think this is time to show AVB the door out of Stanford Bridge before it will be too late, because if u look at how chelsea are playing now you find out there is no goal ambition in Chelsea, chelsea were disorganized from defense to strikers, i could remember last year even though we latter suffer Injury crisis but when they are playing, their always lots of hope and confidence, but if u look at chelsea today you will find out there is no hunger of goal in the team, i really hope Abramovic will brig back our man Mourinho back to wipe this shame away from our face
