I was prety close to the two who were singing that and I can promise you this, if I thought for one second either of them were being racist in any way whatsoever I'd have shut them up immediately.

I have to agree with Dave, knowing who was singing it Dave would have shut at least one of them up very quickly.

Again I don't believe it was a racist thing, but more the fact of size, and I believe that Torquay fans are pretty good at stamping out racist comments.


FAO Diamondgirl - I am afraid to say I was a little bit tipsy when I got to the ground and I have a feint memory that I gave you a massive cuddle for which I do apologise :Oops:

Gillingham fans have described the sending off as:

A sending off a minute or two earlier for a player over-balancing and going over - he wasn't looking for a penalty IMO, but the ref was in the middle of his card frenzy at that point

and

The sending off was a farce

Ridiculous that we can't appeal the decision, but at least the frustration probably played a part in the equaliser a minute later.

Maybe those singing didn't mean it in a rascist way but it sounds like a rehashing of the song Spurs fans (and now Arsenal and Man. U as well) sang to Adebayor. They most definitely meant it in a rascist way!! Please can we knock this chant on the head.

Not good to see that two of the players in that team are from Morecambe...one of them being the goal keeper!
