For starters as mentioned by another poster we didnt play QPR 18 years ago. It was 16 years ago when he was on the bench. Straight away there is an issue with the facts of what he has said. If I was abused in such a way that it affected me I sure as hell would remember when it was.Imploding Turtle wrote:Oh please **** off. "clubs like ours being dragged into it so someone can get airtime"? This was 18 years ago. It clearly affected him and his opinion of us because he remembered it, and your biggest objection is that he talks about it? To get airtime? Get ******, mate. You're sick of these people talking about it and bringing it up 18 years later? Imagine having to experience it, and be affected by it so much that 18 years later you still remember it.
But whatever right? You said the right things, you've demonstrated you're not a racist and don't agree with racism. Now if only black people could stop talking about their experiences then everything would be alright.

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
So you think it's unusual for victims to get details like that wrong? I was a victim of a serious crime in 2001 and can't remember whether it happened in August or September. And the only reason i'm sure it was 2001 was because of other things such as where i was living and that it was after the riots and the Burnley Express tried to make them connected crimes. I find it entirely believable that someone can mis-remember when exactly they received racist abuse, especially if they've received it throughout their careers and there are many examples to have to remember before people like you will believe them.Cleveleys_claret wrote:For starters as mentioned by another poster we didnt play QPR 18 years ago.

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
I agree that racism is disgusting and should not be tolerated anywhere in society, I do believe 18 years ago at the turf you might have heard racism. However as someone further up pointed out , Karl Henry did not feature as a sub against us 18 years ago and therefore at that time, did not suffer any racial abuse. Its more likely it was 16 years ago. Any posters sat in the bob lord 16 years ago hear anything? Heard anything recently?

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
Whats it matter, 16, 18, 20 years or whatever. Posters on here say there was racist abuse in those days - and it was commonplace. Even if he got the club wrong, and he meant Barnsley, the point remains.
Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
Agreed! I said in my post I believe you could hear racism at the turf 18 years ago.
I have heard it more recently as i suspect most posters have, although not for a few years now.
The last racist comment I heard made was about a Tottenham striker going home to sack potatoes.

Well if that's the case I'd rather move away from my town (near) Burnley and stop supporting our club, as I'm not really "partial" to that kind of thing as it goes totally against my values as a human being.Its part and partial of living here.
I've seen a lot more Asian lads in their teens/twenties in the last five years and they've seemed fine and relaxed. Maybe the guys you speak of were just cold, or it's all in your head of dubious intent.Asians dont feel safe on the Turf thats why there is hardly any go on. I seen an asian man and his kid at a game last season they looked scared to death.

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
First time I saw racism on 't Turf was early 60's when someone on the Star Stand side lobbed a banana at Leeds' flying winger Albert Johanneson - he threw it back! I was young and remember thinking "he's Leeds but that's going too far".

Iam sure the people he told about it at the time will remember which year it was, and which ground.
18 yrs ago didn't the subs warm up at the opposite end of the Bob lord stand, usually where the linesman was, then they moved them away from the linesman. If that was the case perhaps the linesman heard it? Or some of the other subs from either club?

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
If Henry had said it was a comment from an individual 18 years ago you might take it more as gospel, but he says “monkey chants”. Monkey chants from the Bob Lord? Come on, there probably are a few idiots in there but it’s the quietest and probably most staid part of the ground. And it was a game we won during a part of the season which wasn’t life or death.
I’m wondering if it’s one of those where someone has told a story and over time he believes it was himself in the role of victim instead of someone else?
It would be more believable if he’d said he was playing at Turf Moor, went to retrieve a ball from the crowd and heard it. Maybe he’s right and we need to confiscate those rugs and flasks from those Bob Lorders. They clearly cannot be trusted!

I always have that conversation with my partners dad - I’m Asian and engaged to an English (white) girl. Her dad always says how it was the norm when he was younger and it’s was on tv etc .... so he has to be extra careful of how he words things nowadays as what was acceptable is rightly not now.duncandisorderly wrote:No doubt it still exists, but when I was 11 year old (25 years ago), going to the paki shop was part of every day life.

It's changed and it's not as prevalent amongst the younger generation as it was.
Depending on how racist parents were it might take longer to fall down the generations, but it's not like it was.
Again, just reading this thread, you have widespread monkey chants and paki chants 20 years ago and now you only hear the odd nutter mumbling or ranting at a taxi. There's not a communal effort to be racist anymore, either at school, football or generally in life.
Obviously it still happens, but like blowjobs once you're married, it's a lot less common.

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
Crazy how many people are desperate for this not to be true, or desperate to paint Henry as a liar. It’s generally the posters I would expect it to be.
It’s not in the slightest bit hard to believe that Henry was racially abused at Turf Moor 16 years ago considering I witnessed, at very close quarters, two adults being ejected from Valley Parade for shamelessly racially abusing a Bradford City player just over 2 years ago.

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
Early mid 80’s was shocking though by mid 90’s it had eased off and was pretty isolated by 2000 . Last actual race chants I heard at Turf were near end of the “Waddle” season I think . It’s entirely socially unacceptable to abuse black players and seems bloody embarrassing looking back .Though if 600,000 people watch matches weekly the odd tool is always to be expected . Though quite how the male tampon above who blames Brexit for it reaches that conclusion really does beggar belief .
As for Karl Henry don’t see why he’d have reason to lie but he is about to retire and neither is he shy of a bit of publicity ( see his twitter spat with the wife beating dogger Stan Collymore )

ok. That still doesn't change the fact that it's perfectly normal to get timelines mistaken 18 or 16 years later.
What do you think is more likely, that he made it up entirely just because he has a particular hatred for Burnley, or that he was mistaken about one detail 16 years later?

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
it's an easy fix, any time a player is racially abused his team should just leave the field of play and be backed by the authorities for doing so - it would stop overnight. I remember a Claret shouting nonsense during a minutes silence at Anfield and he got kicked from the back of the stand to the front by fellow Clarets until he got booted out of the ground - same thing would happen. There is no room for racism, I ******* hate it. Start awarding the opposition 3 points and the offending team docked 10 points. The pressure to behave would be immense. It's a simple fix but requires balls which the FA and PL don't have

We like it when racism is exposed and out in the open. There's nothing wrong with liking that. We like it when it happens in Burnley's instance only because it make it possible for us to do something about it.
But sure, you're the real victim here.
Also, the idea that we like false accusations of racism is really ******* stupid.

The issue I have with our club being dragged into this latest racism debate is the whole town will be portrayed as racist. We'll just be that simple folk from up north, you know the stereotype; flat caps, whippets, “it's grim up north“ rubbish.
Clubs in the North always come out of these debates worse than they're southern counterparts. It's 4 fans at Chelsea, not the entire support and the local area; just those 4 idiots. I'd much rather we weren't dragged through the mud for misdemeanours, no matter the context, from upward of 20 years ago.

Re: Karl Henry - Monkey taunts at Turf Moor
no you won't, there are microphones in all the grounds and the chants are easily heard. I'm also talking specifically about the players, FA and PL can do to empower the players. Agree you could always have a Bong type incident but it's still a better solution than the lack of one we currently have - there is no deterrent presently. Look how much trouble there used to be inside grounds, it's virtually non existent now because the people in power decided to do something about it and that's what needs to be done with racism.Spijed wrote:Do that and you'll just have supporters accusing rival fans of racist comments just to try and get opposing teams docked points.

I hope this doesn't end up another of those lip reading things like with Rio's brother and John Terry. If it's clear he called him a "black c***" he should be life banned etc no question about it. Though if in (the rather unlikely) event he did i fact call him a "Manc c*** " lets hope he's fully exonnerrated. Though it appears the mob has it's pitchforks and burning torches already lit so somones head will have to roll be it fully deserved or not.

This particularly rears its ugly head in things like Bonggate - some Brighton fans were desperate to look for a racist element to us booing him because some "liberal" Southerners who mostly voted Remain absolutely despise the working class industrial North who mostly voted Leave, even more than snooty upper-class Tories hate Burnley for being working class/Labour heartlands, but the former can get away with this more than the latter by yelling "Racists! Homophobes!" etc as a virtue-signalling smokescreen.

I'm struggling to understand the motivation of posters who trying to pretend this stuff doesn't happen to be perfectly honest.
Care to enlighten me?

I was reading g a status on f***book a week or so ago, someone had shared a picture of the bloke who threw a banana skin at Aubameyang. Two Burnley fans were celebrating his effort (in our defence, they both looked like the type of people who go to the pub at 10am every day)UpTheClaretsFCBK wrote:It's considerably more than one idiot.
I know waves of Burnley fans that are openly racist.
I experienced people using the N word on a coach a couple of seasons ago, I won't name the supporters club as I've chosen never to use them again.
This kind of thing isn't plucked out of thin air.
We certainly do have some absolute sc**bags amongst us, and it only takes one person to give the town a bad name
