That video of Chelsea fans on the train - looked to me like that they were just stopping

[Monty91]

a man getting on an already crowded carriage who happened to be black.

Well, until they started singing "We're racist and that's the way we like it", anyway :-

But seriously, the reporting of the incident has been a little naughty, as it made it sound like they ejected a passenger already on the train, when in fact they simply did something that probably happens on busy train systems every day of the week.

[Snin]

or similar ? you anti black racist big nose goon :-)

[Billy Goat Sverige]

day incident, and there was enough room for him to get on so the argument there wasn't any room is bull****.

Not massively sure "Viva Palestine" counts as abuse, but there you go

[Monty91]

but not necessarily racist scum.

If it wasn't for that pesky song they'd have gotten away with it, imo.

[Rich]

as far as I am aware. I have not heard that they actually said something racist.

I guess pushing a man off a train could be considered a crime but given it was a busy train it's not a crime that would be worth pursuing, I wouldn't think.

[Monty91]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[fmadmin]

this is test

[Monty91]

which raises the question of whether declaring yourself racist is, in and of itself, racist :rubchin:

[Classic Jorge]

Mind you, the nose might outweigh that.

I think it's probably worth mentioning at this point just how f**king awful a place Paris is. I used to regularly work there and I found it distinctly unloveable, especially as soon as you were away from the usual tourist bit.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Monty91]

after walking around the city all day for his stupid little project.

[Rich]

questioned but there would be no charges to press considering I am not a dealer.

Are you saying that they did other chants that actually were racist, though?

[Classic Jorge]

Well, I imagine with a name like Shoshanna se was anyway.

I wonder, were she to spend 10 hours walking in Paris as a sexy jew, would she get more abuse for her red sea pedestrianism or her gender.

[Monty91]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

'except if our captain does it.'

Bit of satire there for ya. I've been Ben Elton, good night.

[Classic Jorge]

PS, if you're responsible for the adverts can you go pour a boiling kettle over yourself, please.

[Pokster]

Chelsea are going to ban them, which is up to them, and in my mind the correct thing to do.

[Monty91]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Would you care to define 'joke'?

[Classic Jorge]

You've not had much to do with the Mettards, have you?

[Monty91]

The nose comes with me everywhere.

Yes, Paris is notoriously inhospitable to outsiders. I'm sure someone cleverer than me has an explanation as to why.

[Classic Jorge]

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

I knew some Headhunters back in the day. Not nice chaps.

[Monty91]

I was playing myself up, you see.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Like us, they're usually in a hurry and stressed, but they're no mor impolite than Londoners. In fact, given that the French invariably have far better manners than the British, they're probably politer.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

You should try doing it as someone who only did a year of french, and in one of the worst schools in London, at that.

There are no words, not in the English language anyway, to describe how preferable Spanish is.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

slack-jawed yokel, j. But we who grew up in the Big City with the Roads and the Cars and the Buses and so on share a common language and don't feel we are impolite to each other.

[Rich]

Are you an anarchist?

[Supermac1976]

[Classic Jorge]

I sat there and watched everyone else either ignore him or just watch and realised I didn't want to be here any more. Of course, I myself was just watching too. I needed to get out

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It may have just been attention seeking. These people are best not encouraged.

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

I think I was at an all time zenith of existential angst that day

[Ashberto]

Even the rest of France consider Parisians to be insufferably arrogant. Londoners might not be friendly but I don't think we are particularly rude. There are rules, you know. I had some Northerners on the tube carriage the other night. They talked loudly in Northern all the way to Euston. Now that's what I call bad manners.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

to recoiver my breath.

I remember seeing the shoes as people physically stepped over me. Not a single person stopped to even ask if I was ok :hehe:

[Ashberto]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Walk into a shop in Paris and you will be greeted with a 'Bonjour Monsieur' and it will be expected that you greet the whole shop with a 'Messieurs 'dames'. When you are introduced to someone you will definitely shake his hand, no question. You will wish people a good day, weekend, stay or trip as appropriate to their condition.

French people who moan about Parisian arrogance are like English people moaning about Londoners. They are a) jealous and b) stupid.

[Classic Jorge]

And in many ways it made my decision for me.

He was a bit araby looking and this was just after november the ninth.

[Classic Jorge]

my biggest fear would be that someone ran up to you and shouted "HAHA! Buckle!" in your face though.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Ashberto]

they all spend 10 minutes cheek-kissing each other - even people they despise. And smelly people. Yuk.

[2 Strikers?]

for a moment there I thought this was descending into some putrid good Samaritan style parable.
My faith in humnaity's heartlessness is mostly reinforced, although a random and anonymous HAR HAR would have been delightful.

[Twat Cuddles]

[Trixie Popsicle]

Due to this very same problem. Complained to their Stewards a few times and been told to 'sit the f**k down'. Their behaviour is being aided and abetted by the club, as they refuse to do anything about them imo.

I'd be happy to put a bullet in the back of the head of everyone of those f**kers!!
