Sheffield Wednesday "on the pitch" (21 Viewers)

[SBT]

There's a difference between having racist fans which every club will have and how they acted.

I think it’s naive to assume our fans wouldn’t react in a similar way

If they score early on they won’t invade the pitch , but if we equalise or go in front they will .

It was less than 1%

They did it to several players. As you can see from the comments from their own supporters it wasn't just a few.

Some people have very short memories when needed.

Well a few is clearly more than 2 or 3 but its not the majority that are the lifeblood of the club.

There are normal people like me and other posters at that club. I feel sorry for them.

Really? Any evidence to you show this or are you yet again being an insufferable fucking weirdo?

You are a proper pub bore mate.

It wasn't just a "few" of the fans in the away end that booed Palmer in the cup replay and to say it is is frankly weird.

I just doubt that either Sheffield Wednesday’s fanbase, or ours, is somehow uniquely thick or enlightened on this subject.

Exactly. The ratio of idiots to normal fans will be similar in all fanbases.

Our fans just seem to think they are high and mighty

When you can show that the majority of our fans (and it was the majority of them at that game) will boo a player for basically being racially abused then you may have a point.

Until then please forgive but you are talking shite.

I mean, It’s the same fanbase who chanted “She said yes, Marlon”

Every club is supported by people who will cast their basic decency aside if it clashes with the pantomime of a game or some social media beef - I’m not saying it’s acceptable, I’m just saying it’s unlikely we’re the exception to that.

I agree that Sheffield Wednesday do seem to have a larger than average unpleasant aspect to their support.

But being supportive is more to do with the general issue of mismanagement of football clubs by unscrupulous owners than Sheffield Wednesday themselves.

So we should be supportive of them, despite the fact that it's them. It's not within our interests to see clubs run into the ground.
