So you don't think being called a sheep shagger is antagonism?

Ok - I am the son of a proud Irishman and English woman and have lived most of my life in wales.

Using the above description nobody should 'throw the first stone'

All my life I have listened to jokes which suggest my Irish routes make me basically stupid. I have also seen many occasions in Wales where I have been treated as a 'bloody englishman' I have also been called (and reported him) a sheep S by a police officer at Wigan V Wrexham

No wonder your mixed up .

Personally I dont care if I am called a SS and as for the goat part I find it bizarre.

The survey is about racism in football, yes there is but no more than in normal life its just football provides a means of ‘outing’ it in a song/chant.

My point is that racism is still seen mainly as a 1 way thing and believe me it isnt as every culture has its racism.

I agree it is in every culture - that is my point. Those who believe thy have no such issues in their 'nation' are not correct.

Racism in football can take on many forms - it is not just what is directed at players.

Welsh people are very racist and that’s coming from a Welsh person living with in OZ

It’s a bit sad really
British do not like Europe
Welsh don’t like English
North Wales doesn’t like South Wales and so on
I know it’s generalisation but from where I sit it’s a bit sad really
And before anyone mentions Aboriginees ... Aussies are trying to undo the damage the English created in their colonisation .... although must admit I have taken advantage of opportunities that has presented ��

That doesn't make it okay, just more idiotic for being aware of his own ignorance.
