Stan Collymore (not Dale related) 14:25 - Feb 19 with 7331 viewsfitzochris

The man has gone too far now with his Twitter game. By suggesting all Chelsea fans (and by association Rangers) are racist NF BNP tubthumpers , he has caused another social media storm.

Now, call me old-fashioned, but assigning beliefs to entire groups of people based on one shared interest seems to me…well, bigotry. But hey, what do I know?

I'm no Chelsea or Rangers apologist, but this has irked me.

Collymore is really to be pitied. His problems are well documented, and I feel sorry for him. You’d think he would have a bit more empathy for others instead of labelling hundreds of thousands of people as racist simply because of their choice of football team. That’s a plainly diabolical thing to do.

To his ire he isn't viewed as a credible pundit at large, irrespective of his attempted reinvention, he is more a self-promoted twitter obsessive and tabloid radio blabber mouth. It clearly massively bothers him, but he’s really no different to the likes of Richard Littlejohn — just a loud hailer shouting into the morass.

Collymore will get a rise out of some but when you are sitting at home all day on social media with little else to do except playing with Twitter it's probably to be expected. The irony will come when he is most likely sued for one of his comments on social media, and given the extremity of his views and self-promotion of them, it won't be too far away.

Rather ironic how he sees fit to comment on other peoples behaviour. A boring "pundit" with the worst accent ever on the radio

It's escalated to him making a stand against sectarian singing at games, which is fine - because that is both illegal and wrong.

But it's come to this because he wouldn't back down and admit he was too general with his earlier accusation.

25 years ago I did some sort of fantasy football via the post, a load of Chelsea fans did it and there teams were combat 18 etc etc. A minority of the fans have history with 'white supremacy' etc
The same fans of course who then cheered on mark stein and now drogba etc

That's it, though, a minority.

I know several Chelsea fans and even more Rangers fans, none of who harbour racist or bigoted views.

It would be like someone saying all Dale fans are shaven-headed thugs after watching that clown on that Channel 5 hooligan programme.

As I say, I'm no apologist for either club, I just felt the generalisation was a bit too much.

There will be a minority of all clubs fans who are racist, the thing is that groups of them are not filmed on an underground train doing it so blatantly. Papers don't need excuses.

Having lived in London for the last 18 years, and watched a lot of football in bars and at grounds, in my opinion Chelsea have far, far more knobs and racist idiots than compared to Arsenal, Spurs etc.. I was given some tickets for Stamford bridge by a season ticketholder who couldnt use them one game, me and my mate were pretty much riduculed and intimidated throughout the game as they picked up we were day tripping neutrals, 'Fulhams that fackin way lads' etc. Not all are bad, but far more than average.

I agree and that behaviour was abhorrent.

My argument is with the fact that Collymore then tweeted that Chelsea and Rangers fans are "made for each other", signed off with hashtags pertaining to various right-wing groups.

Now, for some reason, Celtic fans have rallied to his cause decrying a suppressing of freedom of speech. It's all become laughable.

Colly, by linking Rangers to his initial generalisation of Chelsea fans being racist, has changed tack and accused them of sectarian chanting at games.

Yes, this happens and it's appalling. But not just at Rangers games. I've been on trains up here with both sets of Old Firm fans singing atrocious stuff. Would I tar them all with the same brush? No.

very misguided in how he has gone about this ( as fitz puts )

I agree though as a pundit he needs to draw on controversy.

He also made some huge error of judgement as a younger fella.

Here is the bombshell though as a commentator on footy I think he is one of the better ones!! If thats enough to compensate for all the crap i have no idea.

the rise and rise of Gary Neville as a pundit has made pretty much everyone else redundant as serious pundits. All that's left to fight over is the Katie Hopkins of the football world (tho she was fab in CBB), and the likes of Savage and Collymore battle it out with nonentities like Moose. Talk shíte is the mantra of Talk Sport, and it still has a whiff of Kelvin Mackenzie over everything it does.

That said, there are teams up and down the land where they have a disproportionate number of ne'erdowells. We could never say it was every fan, but a trip to Hull always felt like they were all intent on kicking our heads in (must be because its a bloody rugby town). Chelsea and Rangers have always had that side to them (tho Celtic fans could do with remembering Mark Walters' debut). As for this week, it was English people in misbehaving abroad shocker which is pure tabloid fodder.
