That I though had been consigned to the 1970's.
A team mate of my son is of mixed race. He fouled an opponent who then got up and called him a monkey.
The poor kid (17 years old) left the pitch in tears. I though the coach should have told the team to leave the pitch and forfeit the match.
The more I think about it the more upsetting it is. |  |

Yeah, it does seem to have been on the increase over the last five years. And salesman who, when a woman answers the phone or the door, ask if they can speak to the man of the house is another throwback one I have heard about.
You just have to knuckle down and challenge them when they occur and reason them out with the perpetrator, life is never going to completely trouble free I guess. |  |

Why didn't the referee take action? |  |

He sent the boy off and will be putting in his match report.
My view is that at that age the boy should be banned from football for a year and be forced to find a new club once that ban is over.
Aparently the subs were calling him n1gger from the sidelines but I was over the other side of the pitch so didn't hear this. I used to coach my son's last team until they reached under 17 and would be in an area very close to the opposition coaches and subs and I have never heard this sort of abuse before. It shocked me. | |

That's about all the referee has the power to do at the time. Now its in the match report its up the local FA to determine the length of the ban. I'd like to think he's looking at a year at least ... |  |

Not nice but the black kid should have headbutted the other one rather than start crying. Mind you it's really not very nice is it. What did all the other parents do or say? I think I would have lost it a bit. |  |

Well done ref ,then. Couldn't do much more. Hope the touchline abuse are put in the report as well. | |

Amazed to hear that happened.
I guess the match official cant do much more than send the player off. Hopefully the players club or the local FA will then take further severe action. |  |

Had this with my step sons under 15 side last season, we have an Asian lad wonderfully gifted and we were battering this side from Richmond, full of white rich kids and the subs on the other side started abusing our lad, was disgusting and like your player he came off crying.
Utterly disgusting and comes from one place, their homes and parents. | | | |

I can't say too much but there's a Suffolk case that's gone to the English FA on something v similar although the ref, aged 14, didn't send the lad off. |  |

The football team of my youth in Ipswich, Nicholians colts had three black lads who played, if any racial abuse had been given the perpetrators would have been chinned. |  | | |

Great club now sadly defunct, winners of the SIL and Suffolk senior cup double.
I played in the late 70s and early 80s both for the colts and senior side. | | | |

This is why I didn't allow my youngest boys to play football at local clubs. They played cricket and rugby instead.
It's shocking.
You may disagree but I posted against some base sexist remarks the other day. I got shot down for that.
Personally I think allowing sexism is the seed from which many other intolerance is grown. |  |

Was pointing out that it is part of a general falling back in standards of people questioning their own prejudices (I don't think anyone is free of these and we all need a degree of introspection to consider how we act towards others). The couple of women I know who have had this treatment have laughed in the faces of the salesman and, needless to say, not bought what they were trying to sell. I would say the abusive individual who chanted at the lineswoman last Saturday was on a par with Glasser's example though. [Post edited 1 Sep 2017 11:30]

Post duplicated - might as well use the space to say I thought the lineswoman did a decent job and, if anything, gave us the rub of the green... [Post edited 1 Sep 2017 11:31]

Disgraceful. It's well documented that, post-Brexit, racist abuse has increased, markedly. Same in the US with Trump.
Wait for the club to take action and/or any governing body. If that's inadequate, then there may well be further legal remedies. It wouldn't hurt to contact the Equalities and Human Rights Commission.
Irrespective, a complaint could be lodged with the police; the conduct could well amount to a racially aggravated offence under either s. 4 or 5 of the Public Order Act 1986. | | | |

You raise it with the local FA and the club concerned's welfare officer... |  |

I was watching the RB Liepzieg match on telly at the weekend & there was a lady referee taking charge. Was interesting to see how the players did actually respect her. |  | | |

Name and shame the Football Club concerned. No place for them imo |  |

Played in the same side as Titus and Tesfaye (both were younger and of course massively better). As you say, any abuse like that would have resulted in a brawl.
Not sure the ref could do more in this case, well handled by him and now up to the FA.
GB is right, this should be long gone as I thought it was, certainly hope it is by the time mine are playing (if they wish to of course!).

I'm afraid I'd simply tell them that I can swear just as well as the average man, and that he could eff off with his timewasting coldcalling & sexist cr@p! |  |
