The violent scenes today in the East stand are a disgrace and were instigated by a group who have in the past displayed openly racist behaviour. During the Cardiff game my daughter and I called out two of this group for shouting racist insults which were vile. Prior to this she had spoken to them about booing taking the knee to which the reply was 'It's political'
Following the game I e-mailed the club with detailed information about the racist behaviour of this group. There was also health and safety concerns regarding these people standing on seats and when we scored and falling on to supporters in front of them and injuring one guy.
I made it clear that I felt this behaviour would be repeated and some overt stewarding would be required with senior stewards present. If my suggestions had been implemented decisive intervention today when the flags were displayed would have prevented the violent scenes. I feel let down by the club and unsupported when tackling racism on the terraces. Lots of fine words before the Cardiff game have not been backed up by action to root out racists. The club must support the fans when they call out racist behaviour as well as their players. My wife tackled them today about booing taking the knee.
I exchanged a number of e-mails with people in the club and identified the problem and perpetrators. The club must now take action to stop this blatant racism and protect the health and safety of supporters. It is time they took seriously their duty of care to us and not leave it to us to police people's behaviour. |  | | |  |

No,it upsets you.
Other matters upset others but you only have one perspective.
You have to respect democracy ,assuming you are one. Yiu purport to be.
Franco had plenty of support too and it s why Spain has issues with regional flags and the old scores of the civil war . |
Spain is not the only one to have issues with 'regional' flags, we played the Basque country in an international in football, Ireland have played them as well, not much chance of England doing that, we undertaken full tour of the Pacific Islands in rugby, not much chance of England doing that, friendship was more important than money, historically we fight for friends, family, country, culture others fight for land and possessions. |  |

Every now and then yiu drop your guard.
Your hatred of anything English is stark .
You concentrate on anything negative England portrays.
A wonderful diverse country that has accepted millions of “ immigrants” including Welsh in droves | |

We mainly play teams from the other side of the Dyke, we have or at least did have our own identity, some of our fans flying the same flags as our rivals and identifying the same as them is perverse, historically we are different, wars of independence, we had totally different laws, we treated women differently to them, we voted Liberal they voted Tory, then we voted Labour they voted Tory, since voting began (generalising but it's often the case), we broke away from their state religion, we tend to be sympathetic to the Basques, Irish, red Indians, Kurds etc they tend to be sympathetic to the imperialist powers, we are nearly always on the opposite side to them, it's the same with some other neighbours across the world, Croats and Serbs ect nearly always on different sides.
A group within the Swansea fanbase seemingly aligning with our rivals politically and flying the same flags as our rivals is going to upset a lot of Swansea fans, I don't know why they want to bring loyalist flags, English flags, union jacks (that is mainly associated with England in football) to Swansea games it's bound to upset the apple cart. |
Your talking absolute drivel
Your facist views are there for all to see | | | |

We play teams in the same league as us, in the same division as us in the "ENGLISH FOOYBALL LEAGUE"
When did Wales fight a war of independence? Never, Wales the country has never fought a war, the time you refer too was when we were Principalities, not a country.
You say we are nearly always on the opposite side to them but that's just nonsense. We used to be against them but our men and women have been fighting in the British army for a long time now and you know that.
Why can't a Swansea fan have a Union flag with Swansea on it? There is something perverse here but it is not Swansea fans who feel British as much as Welsh. | |

Swansea have been in that mix for as long as I can remember.
In the minds of these people they get results when they fight, and they get battered as well.
Our support had strong links in the late 80’s with Chelsea as an example. Linfield too. They’ve also pitched themselves in home ends like Millwall as per 1985 ish. It’s what young daft men do, and young daft men will continue being daft sometimes when they are older.
We still have young daft men. It’s how it is. |
Always thought that was a bit weird, looking from the east….cosying up to Chelsea fans? |  | | |

Do you consider Swansea an English football team? Catullus? Do you thing we should take English nationality to play in their league so as not to cause offence? Football is not an army like the British Army. It is not in the UN. It has no navy no air force.
Flags that represent the area are Welsh flags not English or British flags in football. The English teams are in the main 95.7% of the time sporting rivals.
It is not that surprising some local fans object to Swansea fans flying the flags of the opposition 95.7% of the time. |  |

Lol you do realise Annis is English yeah. I know quite a few cardiff fans who are English, I’d say it’s almost quite common. Lots of English people live in Cardiff, you might not see em out in the provinces your way | | | |

Actually that’s the issue with a lot of Cardiff fans. When we ran the England swansea supporters we have over 100 England lads with us. Hence the flags ! |  |

Isn't he unusual in as much as where his family originate from and apparently his family's religion would be very surprising considering where he comes from, have you ever seen him do the Ayatollah Benny ? | |

The UK and thus the Union flag are not our rivals. England are not our sporting rivals. Swansea are a Welsh team playing in the English league by invitation so maybe best not to pee them off too much.
The Union flag is not our opposition. The Union flag represents the UK of which Wales is a part so it represents me and you.
I'm British and Welsh and proud of it, as is, I suspect, every man and woman from these parts who served in the forces. Football isn't an army in the military sense no but JACKARMY!
When all our exiles kids grow up and many don't consider themselves Welsh but support the Swans, you won't catch me moaning.
PS, no I didn't serve. | |

It may help those who are too scared to confront people.
Hopefully if a report is made there will be a period of surveillance before an ejection or arrest is made. | |
