mcfluff1985 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Ruuuuuuby Ruuuuuuby Is a chant I liked at the Cheltenham Festival as he rode another winner, not sure if that's racist or not. What colour was the horse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 You are right disjointed....the issue is whether the chant is a play on the name or a" zuluistic" noise. My problem with the Root , Kucher, Springsteen defence is that the rendition of the name emerged over time as they became extremely successful in their fields....with this chant it was used the very first time he came on the field , before he had kicked a ball and therefore It has to at least to be considered that it is based on his physical appearance ..... I don't recall it being used when he was warming up at Shrewsbury. I think it started when he went on his mad run down the left wing where he beat three of there players by tangling his legs around the ball and the chant gained momentum as he walked across the six yard box after the ball went out of play.

NewBlue Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) You are right about Palmer, wrong about Ngoo. This. Think Magister is trying to defend any remaining pride in his theory. Seriously, drop the Ngoo thing - you're embarrassing yourself. I don't recall it being used when he was warming up at Shrewsbury. I think it started when he went on his mad run down the left wing where he beat three of there players by tangling his legs around the ball and the chant gained momentum as he walked across the six yard box after the ball went out of play. I'm pretty sure it was the blokes round me on the left of the away end who started it. I've not been since then so I don't know it's current incarnation but it was just an elongated last vowel then. Magister making it out as a 'zulu' chant isn't what I originally would have associated it with. Edited February 13, 2017 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The noise greeting Ngoo coming on to the pitch is without a shadow of a doubt racist....non malicious but nevertheless racist Bull:censored:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Magister you must get offended everyday of your life several times I'd guess. Why don't you confront these racist thugs at the next game ? A strongly worded letter should do the trick. PonceThat's definitely homophobic.

mcfluff1985 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 That's definitely homophobic. Sorry, but your reply shows a complete lack of tolerance towards people with a homophobic view point. I find you're homophobicphobic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 An online solicitors view; Chanting directed at players of their own team The issue of racial chanting brings up the situation where one team may be making comments towards one of their own players which they may regard as humorous. For example one player in the Premier League who originates from Asia is sung about by his home fans in relation to the particular culinary persuasions of his people. Whether this would be regarded as racialist chanting under the act remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamoafc Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Have I read this right that when people shout Ngoo's name when he is coming on/on the pitch that's racist? Good luck on getting a charge against someone for shouting his name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on getting a charge against someone for shouting his name! I believe Magister is working on an online petition to have typing Ngoo's name declared a race hate crime. He shall now be known as "He who must not be named" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combo Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I honestly cant quite believe some of the comments on here which state that shouting of a players surname as racist ? Its about time all this pc bull:censored: was kicked into touch as its things like this that helps dilute any real racism. I suppose every club in Germany is racist because there when a player comes on as sub the tannoy guy shouts his first name while the rest of the stadium shout his surname.
