It's been filmed

Obviously a racial attack

Discuss the punishment you would give

Removal of a passport for life I'd suggest to start with

Lifetime ban from any match

Custodial sentence? Yes

Lifetime ban yes, as for the rest a bit too strong !!

Whilst i dont condone their behaviour its a very small minority and most of us true Chelsea fans are nothing like them and have decried their behaviour in every way.

I've watched it over n over n over on the news.

Train looks full to me and I can't hear what they are saying.

Later reports say it's been hyped before the truth is known.

part of any football banning order would mean that anytime their team.. or england... played abroad, they would have to hand their passport over at a police station

the custodial stuff.... thats going to be hard to prove unless the people on the train talk.... if not all the people who are in the pics going around are going to say it wasn't them singing....

the were singing, "we're racist, we're racist, we're racist..... and thats the way we like it, we like it, we like it!"

its one of the songs they sing for their captain, john terry......

Have no problem with first bit as if its a ban from any match , that should include any fixtures abroad

Custodial way too harsh IMO

Fair play to the guy that filmed the video and than had the guts to go and take a photo of the fans in the carriage. From the video alone, any sort of action would have been nigh on impossible.

So 100% yes to bans and as Fabio said, they won't be allowed to travel anyway.

Saying "We are racist" is not enough to be punishable by custodial sentence. Unless there is recorded evidence of actual racial slurs then it won't go anywhere.

Total, total scumbags. Just imagine how that guy felt? How brave he was by more than once trying to get on the carriage to defy them.

it was sent to the media first (the guardian)... but it has actually been given to the met police and the french authorities... obviously the met to see if they can be recognised because they likely come from the london area...

Lifetime ban from football, or worse still be made to watch Aston Villa for the rest of the season.

On a serious note, everything within the law that can be done. Problematic as its French law but the lifetime ban is minimum.

As a Chelsea fan I am sickened though not naive enough to be shocked. Much has been made of them being Chelsea fans, they are not fans.

I watched it again Fabio. I watched as many different vids as I could find.

He tries to board the train but they are at the door.

He pushes first.

They push back and wont let him pass.

He pushes back.

They push him back.

There is then footage of them singing 'we're racist' as you say but it is NOT the same footage.

There is a black woman at the doors by this time.

I don't know if it's illegal to be racist although I do know racism or race crimes are.

I'm not sure that the evidence is conslusive that he was pushed off the train for being black.

I do feel that those singing the song are guilty of racism and racial disorder in public and should be punished.

The irony is that it happened in France, to a (probable) Frenchman, by foreigners!

I hope the law deals with them to properly.

Does the original poster know enough about French law to put that forward as a possibility? I don't know if this is a criminal act under French law. I think the behaviour is disgusting. But people need to get a grip. These are idiots, they should be banned from football, they should be named and shamed, but let's keep it to what is actually legal and achievable.

The Fargage and Chelsea haters are all over this. If we see a photo of the racist guy drinking a Starbucks I guess that would make them a racist organisation for taking his money.

According to the guardian it can land you 3 years in prison and a 45k euro fine.

One of the fans inter_iewed by the Guardian said they weren't letting white people on either.

He said the french man was aggressive and tried to push past them.

From what I saw i'd agree.

Not saying I hate Farage or Chelsea, just stating the facts.

I'm sure you'll agree Farage basically stating that this country's problems are mostly down to immigration is hypocritical when he has a German wife.

I don't think anyone is disputing what was said. Moreover, the train was clearly not full. The man was inside the train before he was ejected by representatives of the English public.

What happened, therefore, is/was pretty clear to anyone with a modicum of sense.

Again, I'm stating facts. That's likely to be the maximum penalty and I doubt they would get that for what they did as it wasn't exactly violent.

However, it could still be considered assault as they did touch him.

I'm pretty sure I don't agree. I don't support UKIP or Farage by the way. But your argument is oversimplified. There are problems associated with the mass indiscriminate immigration we have allowed in recent year. There is good immigration and there is bad immigration, we have had our fair share of both. It's not a racist assertion that not all immigration is good.

Nothing is obvious to anyone who wasn't there.

The men doing the singing and the men doing the pushing are not even the same people.

e.g The big bloke at the front of the train isn't singing anything at any point in the film.

Who is to say that the people singing the song are actually 'with' the men doing the pushing.

If I come out of an arena at the same time as other visitors to the arena it doesn't follow that I am with them.

Football (not just Chelsea) still has a serious problem with racism. I can guarantee you will see incidicents like this week in week out at various stations, pubs etc before and after games. Sadly little is done and hopefully this act being caught on video might see another attack on the mindless idiots who still judge people by their race, colour and sexuality.

In a perfect world...yes, they should.

Ok, in all seriousness, It might not seem like a big deal but it's not just the reputation of Chelsea fans being dragged through the shit but all fans. Clubs also have responsibility to kick racism out of their clubs. My concern is that type of behaviour happening among the terraces and getting missed.

Unfortunately, while players are _iewed as assets, and while money is more important than the game, racists like Terry and Suarez will never be properly punished and therefore racism will persist.

"I watch Cardiff City home and away and the amount of racism we receive is unbeliable calling us sheep shagging bardards do we care a fuck No "

Is it an admission of guilt?

"Football (not just Chelsea) still has a serious problem with racism. I can guarantee you will see incidicents like this week in week out at various stations, pubs etc before and after games. Sadly little is done and hopefully this act being caught on video might see another attack on the mindless idiots who still judge people by their race, colour and sexuality.

If teams stand by players like John Terry or Suarez instead of punishing them then some fans will think it's fine to do as they please"

Agreed

So it was ok to physically refuse a man entry onto a train for any reason?? Also ok to sing racist chants?

they wouldn't go to a british court they would go to a french court... and the french authorities are the ones treating it as if it is a racist case......

"It's been filmed

Obviously a racial attack

Discuss the punishment you would give

Removal of a passport for life I'd suggest to start with

Lifetime ban from any match

Custodial sentence? Yes

"

And you question why you never really see any people or colour at live football games in the uk or predominately Caucasian countries! Fans would turn on us in a second if things didn't go their teams way .

So we have incitement to racial hatred and assault. It will be interesting to see how the French may _iew this in the light of the current heightened sense of racial tension following Charlie Hebdo.

Yep such admirable 'restraint' shown by a mob of racists, as you say they didn't even kick or punch him, I'm surprised the guy didn't shake their hand and say thank you for not sending me home in a St.Johns ambulance.

Hit the teams for fan's behaviour. Games played behind closed doors. Loss of TV money. Televised matches played in kit without sponsors logos and no other advertising.

Once it costs teams money they'll tackle fans' behaviour. Until then they have no motivation and will just make tge right noises about being shocked

Once again john terry gets brought in, did you forget he was found INNOCENT in a british court of LAW !!! The FA are a law unto themselves that does not make him a racist ! Ignorance as usual.

Chelsea hatred again and again, funny that supporters are called racist yet loads of ethnic players in our team ( for a long time as well )

This is a very very small minority who havent even been found guilty of anything yet, yet the chants of scum and throw them in prison and general hatred of Chelsea prevails.

All that does is breed ignorance and shows lack of intelligence.

hang on... thats not fair...

its is chelsea fans using the song, which they say glorifies john terry, to say they weren't being racist.....

its not the only accusations of chelsea fans chanting really obnoxious things whilst in paris this week.... and on the subway....

so yes... chelsea fans can circle the wagons or put heads in the sands if they want.... until chelsea fans out chelsea fans for doing it... it aint going away

All the Chelsea fans i know , and then some are completely decrying these actions and are dead against any kind of racist behviour, that was even said by the fans they inter_iewed.

What im saying is general Chelsea hatred etc is not fair when this is a small group of individuals that do not represent the all the Chelsea fans

Having black players doesn't mean that some fans of that team aren't racist. They don't get to pick who plays for them. I was at a Millwall game when about 20 of their fans made monkey noises and gestures at nearby Wolves fan - they had Dion Dublin, Pail Ifill and Tony Warner in their side.

"I've watched it over n over n over on the news.

Train looks full to me and I can't hear what they are saying.

Later reports say it's been hyped before the truth is known.

the were singing, "we're racist, we're racist, we're racist..... and thats the way we like it, we like it, we like it!"

its one of the songs they sing for their captain, john terry......

i think the "train full" arguement might pass... if it wasn't for the speed/force he was push out the 2nd time round......"

Absolutely true

No bloody press hyping the truth

They're filmed singing racist songs

No flipping excuses I'm afraid

maybe we could do that for everything, hit nightclubs for the behaviour of their patrons after they close, loss of entry fees and music played behind closed doors

If they're Season ticket holders/regular attendants of fixtures then yes, clubs have the ability to enforce bans at their discretion. For all we know, the men in question may only go to a few games a year but could still be banned.

Heres my take on the footage.....

The guy approaches to board, the train is clearly very full as he steps in he is givin a gentle nudge and perhaps told the carriage is full.

The man then tries to step back on and that could be taken by anyone as an aggressive approach, there then appears to be a heated debate and at no point does the gentleman back off etc ( no offence but i would not front out a load of football fans )

Now the fact the gentleman was ethnic could be purely coincidental.

I agree the chants are not acceptable but does that mean they are scum and should go to prison ? No.

I will wait and see what happens in a court of law if anything.

The difference between Nightclubs and Football clubs are football clubs are considered family environments. If you're going to rubbish the point, Please use a better comparison.

I appreciate such feelings appear a bit kneejerk but this is still big problem in the game and it's constantly bringing football into disrepute. Clubs have a responsibility to do everything they can to kick it out.

That reminds me of a campaign linked to football but I can't put my finger on it...

It's not acceptable and true football fans don't stand for it or like it at all.

But you have highlighted a very valid point. Football is more popular than Rugby and Cricket yet those sports (from my understanding) don't seem to have this problem constantly popping up. So it's clear that what's currently being done is not enough.

To be honest, I don't watch Cricket. I find it boring.

Like I said, I don't see these problems in other sports. Maybe because I don't follow it or it's not highlighted as much. But it's not acceptable in any sport.

To be honest, I don't watch Cricket. I find it boring.

Like I said, I don't see these problems in other sports. Maybe because I don't follow it or it's not highlighted as much. But it's not acceptable in any sport. "

"My take on it is this

It wouldn't happen at cricket or rugby

So why repeatedly do football fans seem to think it's acceptable behaviour

Cricket madam, is a gentleman's game.

Ruggers is played on the hallowed grounds of public schools.

Football ..... a sheeps skin booted through the villages of England. "

Ruggers? Wtf. Lol. You should be living in Kent pmsl.

Football is a family game unfortunately you get a few who will always cause trouble and bring it's name into disrepute. I'm no Chelsea fan but I can bet the majority are disgusted by those individuals involved in the incident in Paris, hopefully the appropriate authorities will deal with them.

At a recent England International I had a moron behind me screaming "fucking Jew" at any English player making a mistake and screaming "fucking Jew" at the German players every time they touched the ball (the irony was clearly lost on him). I was the only person to confront him (you can imagine the torrent of abuse I got even though I had 3 kids with me). I texted the number that was advertised in the stadium to report any racist chanting. Response - nothing. I reported him to the stewards. Response - we think it would cause trouble to remove him. He did shut up when confronted, but I was shocked at how little support I got.

If that behaviour is tolerated in our national stadium what chance do we have of stamping out racism??

They seen their beloved captain only get a slap on the wrist for being racist even when their was video evidence to prove what he said. Unless the fa are gonna get the finger out and hit someone hard then it's not gonna stop. Being the England captain had a lot to do with the leniency they showed Terry, which was proved after what happened to Suarez (no video evidence). They've a lot to answer for (the fa)

Suarez didn't need video evidence... because in the hearing he admitted to saying it....and he admitted to saying it at evra..... but he didn't mean it as it was acceptable to say it in uruguay (that was his defence)

I dont k ow much about football and how its run i dont even like it to be honest but 've always thought a good way to police arseholes in football grounds would be for every one who enters the stadium to have some sort licence the same as driving no card no entry everyone would be on a database so if anything did occur they already know who was in there at the time, and also keep tabs on known idiots with some sort or points/banning system and obviously then there is no way a banned person could enter

I understand that but my point is unless the fa do their job properly and come down hard on clubs to sort out their fans. My point with Terry was just because he was English they didn't reprimand him as serious as Suarez. That's not right at all. No matter what nationality someone is, racism is racism and should be addressed quickly.

Whilst i dont condone their behaviour its a very small minority and most of us true Chelsea fans are nothing like them and have decried their behaviour in every way.

"

Whilst it might be uncomfortable to admit, they are as 'true' a fan as you, they obviously support the club, they've travelled to see a match in another country (I know it's probably quicker to get to than Newcastle). The idea that behaved fans are real, true fans and badly behaved fans are not is a concept that's false.

"Football (not just Chelsea) still has a serious problem with racism. I can guarantee you will see incidicents like this week in week out at various stations, pubs etc before and after games. Sadly little is done and hopefully this act being caught on video might see another attack on the mindless idiots who still judge people by their race, colour and sexuality.

If teams stand by players like John Terry or Suarez instead of punishing them then some fans will think it's fine to do as they please

Unfortunately, while players are _iewed as assets, and while money is more important than the game, racists like Terry and Suarez will never be properly punished and therefore racism will persist. "

Im sorry... was john Terry found not guilty????? Racism is rife in this country forget football it is just the tip of the iceberg and not just white on black but black on white, nationality on nationality. There is only one way to sort it and it isnt prison. Education is the key.. a few months or years in prison will not stop someone being a bigot, educate children from day one and make sure their knowledge is full so they not only learn but have the intelligence to use that knowledge.

As for the train.. nothing will come of it in truth all will deny it was them and proving racism would be too difficult I think.

"I've watched it over n over n over on the news.

Train looks full to me and I can't hear what they are saying.

Later reports say it's been hyped before the truth is known.

the were singing, "we're racist, we're racist, we're racist..... and thats the way we like it, we like it, we like it!"

its one of the songs they sing for their captain, john terry......

i think the "train full" arguement might pass... if it wasn't for the speed/force he was push out the 2nd time round......

I watched it again Fabio. I watched as many different vids as I could find.

He tries to board the train but they are at the door.

He pushes first.

They push back and wont let him pass.

He pushes back.

They push him back.

There is then footage of them singing 'we're racist' as you say but it is NOT the same footage.

There is a black woman at the doors by this time.

I don't know if it's illegal to be racist although I do know racism or race crimes are.

I'm not sure that the evidence is conslusive that he was pushed off the train for being black.

I do feel that those singing the song are guilty of racism and racial disorder in public and should be punished."

I've seen footage that clearly shows that the carriage wasn't full, only at the doors where the poor guy was trying to

get on. Even if it was full, what rite did they have to push him back out again?

They were just the same old group of cowardly bigots that used to plague the tube on a Saturday afternoon back in the 'bad old' 70's & 80's, - probably their offspring!!

If that's how they behave whilst overseas, weather its following football or in Benidorm, etc, then confiscate their passports ffs!

Not only should they be prosecuted for their criminal public racism, they should also have their passports removed and be banned from any foreign travel for at least 10 years.

I will also point out that Chelsea have form for their fans doing stuff like this (even to their own players) so it is time that the FA and EUFA take action against Chelsea, (remember John Terry? He lost his England captaincy for his racism but not his Chelsea captaincy).

If the evidence is there then they must be dealt with by the law in France, fine, imprisonment and whatever else.

They should receive a lifetime ban from football. ( though I've seen Man Utd lately and can't really call that football so they should be ok for Old Trafford)

Passports taken, no. You'll find that there is Human Rights legislation that would prevent that.

They should also be named by responsible media so everyone knows who they are. These are all proportionate measures.

The fashionably offended and chelsea haters need to get a grip on perspective. Parallels being drawn with John Terry are nonsense. This could and does happen at most clubs. It's wrong and the clubs should do their utmost to ensure these people never go to another game. But the clubs can't ban them from public transport and public places or stop them being racist, they can however disassociate the club from these people.

If they are banned from football the law requires them to hand in their passport whenever england or their team plays abroad. And the police have the power to ban them from public transport on match days.

Regularly football fans from opposing teams won't be aloud on certain trains in the same way...Chelsea Tottenham, United city, Sunderland Newcastle etc it's happened to me and friends...it's like a universal banter amongst fans. However what makes the Paris incident disgusting and shamefull is the chanting, yes psg fan the man may have been,but the racist chanting (which I have never heard at Chelsea can I just say) is disgracefull and makes this a social issue...this is a small minority of idiots who blemish society as a whole today. Should be banned, named and shamed.

I think you will find that the entitlement to hold a passport is a privilege not a right, and that one of the conditions of using a passport is that you do not do anything that will bring disrepute to Her Majesty or Britain.

Like it or not the fact that Chelsea took no action against Terry while the FA fined him £220,000 and banned him for 4 matches is in itself proof that the club condones racism. Anyone who fails to acknowledge this is equally guilty of condoning racism.

The fact that most clubs hide the rule that says if their fans make a racist attack that does not happen on club property or in the immediate vicinity of a ground they are playing at while traveling to or from a game is quite frankly disgusting! But the idea that an obviously Chelsea fan would use that as an excuse to mitigate the recorded racism of Chelsea fans and the clubs willingness to condone such behavior is beyond disgusting!

You should hang your head.
