The first was when one of our own supporters shouted "come on you black bastard" at Dion Dublin and the other was when.someone went into a rant at Swansea fans and included "f*cking pakis and blacks " in it for some reason. Both times they were individuals who came out with it and both times our own fans around them confronted them about it. The latter situation turned a bit nasty and the club got involved after some complaints. So to suggest there is a large extreme right wing element is a little wide if the mark in my experience.

A couple of examples:'N****r,N****r, lick my boots'.'We believe in de Villa, whoa yea'. Sung whilst raising the arms and shaking the hands a la minstrel style.As for the bananas, well we won't bother going there.No one around in those days to put a stop to it. For someone like me and to be fair, many other people, it was disgusting, shameful and just so unnecessary.I didn't want John Terry at the club and it's a waste of energy banging on about it but, if Terry gives credence to even thinking like that even though it was in the past, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Quote from: Nelson Lodge on July 03, 2017, 08:03:22 PMI love AVFC without any reservations. However, because I love Villa does not mean that I have to like every person who works for the club, or every player that plays for the club. Moving on, from what I have seen and heard of JT today I thought he handled the media very well and did not come across as being "thick", which I did not expect.Finally and completely irrelevant I have only ever met 2 Villa players as far as I can recall, and one was our family GP when I was a child growing up in Aldridge.Your final comment intrigues me. We had a player who became a GP?

Can the moderators put some sort of filter on to prevent him being referred to as 'JT' please? I keep dry retching at the sight of it.

You need to get over this Chris. And if he plays a significant part in a promotion season I'm pretty sure you will.
