BRISTOL CITY CHARGED WITH VINCENT TAN CHANTS AS CARDIFF COMP

Apparently we have had to pay for a Solicitor on this and he’s filed on behalf of Our Club.

It’s a classic “beachballs at a concert” everyone concentrating on knocking the balls about, while missing the band on stage. It’s a deflection to take our minds off more pressing problems, like not getting Fekkin relegated.

I heard the chant didn't think much of it at the time, I hear songs sung by our fans week in week out which are just as bad but it's football shit like this is sung through grounds all over the country every week, the chant was "you sold your souls to a lady boy"

Well isn't that calling him a transvestite or similar? If called a player a ladyboy sure it would be deemed offensive an owner is part of football club so while it's doesn't sound much in grand scheme of things nowadays it will be looked at as :transfobia or something

Oh yea I agree in this day and age something like that would get flagged up but as football fans who been following cardiff for so long you become desensitised to chants like that so at the time I didn't really pay any attention to it but when I saw they had been charged that chant came into my mind and I thought it has to be thats what the charge was for

We as fans may not agree with the action but cannot hide from the fact its racist ...and if fa are citing club for it that shows how they view it? So condeming club for bringing it to fa attention is wrong no matter how people feel about tan..like said if aimed at player same action taken end of story..

So why is calling somebody a Ladyboy racist? Tan epitomises the old saying, you can buy clothes but you can’t buy style. I find the thought of him crossdressing quite disturbing. The FA want a sanitised soulless league, their only concern is money.
Offence is taken, not given. Anybody offended by this, really needs to have a word with themselves.

Mate, The FA have received the complaint from us and have to act, so it’s not them who have started this.

I know mate but my point about the FA stands.

Good job the Jacks have not complained about us saying they were shagged by their Fathers else we would have been closed down ages ago.

What about all the derogatory remarks made about VT on all the different message boards, is nobody safe from the Lawyers

Well yes I get the impression Tan has his lawyers monitoring the message boards. I'm sure he would like to see these message boards shut down over the slightest thing derogative said about him. That's not going to happen, why because most if not all remarks have been like nothing. Its just Tan is an insensitive soul bless him.

The bottom line here guys is the rest of the football world are going to go to town on us over this.

OK what would it be called if you called a player a ladyboy? Racist homophobic?? ... or you saying ladyboy is a nothing thing to call anyone and fa want batter an eye lid over it?? If its a Player or owner or Joe bloggs calling someone ladyboy will be classed under some public order offence no matter what you say or think so fa rightly or wrongly will look at it in that context......

Oh and take a look at what fa have said and you may understand what category the chants come under several to choose from...
And club is always held responsible for fans actions and that as always been case... I don't agree with what's happening but tha isn't relevant to tan

When a middle aged woman gets a knock on the door, from plod, for saying on Facebook, that a local councillor should resign.
Then we should all be nervous.

Good job the Jacks have not complained about us saying they were shagged by their Fathers else we would have been closed down ages ago.

Exactly. Our fans have sung much worse in the past and still do. No team have made a complaint against us.

Seems this is not coming from the club but just the owner, I don't know what he hopes to achieve from it.

It should come as no surprise to him now when we are charged for chants our fans make.

Exactly Ned,

Spot on, Tan is now opening us to being done.

Has there been any confirmation that the complaint was made by Cardiff City?

Tans an idiot let's hope a few more clubs latch on to this and upsets him enough he decides he's had enough and fucks off, we can all dream can't we

Of course not.

I think it's a stupid complaint whoever did it though.

What was the chant?

Something about him being a lady boy …..

What a wet society we live in.

OK thanks, I suppose there could be a race link to that, so that will be why, they take more action.

But let’s be honest , who exactly in that ground is getting upset by brizzle fans calling our owner a lady boy ? ….

I’m sure it ruined the match day experience for the thousands of real lady boys who were otherwise transfixed to the exciting goings on of the seven side derby.

When you are a football club owner getting massive insults for one thing or another …..this goes with the territory .
As Cardiff fans we need to look at ourselves then and soon it will be clubs wanting to then complain about us.

Well said.
But I think it’s deemed one of these non crime hate crime things when it relates to LGBTQ+ type of language.
Didn’t Brighton have away clubs warn their fans about “Does your boyfriend?” Songs?

Anyway, for me, it’s go woke go broke.

At end of day if anyone called a Malaysian a ladyboy in public you will be arrested ... call a person
of chinese origin a chink you'll be arrested... so a lot on here are missing the point! We may not agree with tan calling out fans for doing so but that's the nature of him .... like to know difference between this and fans being arrested for making jestures (like aeroplane) words or jestures it's the same according to the law and the FA... but guess that's irrelevant to some people on here

Ok Allan,

Let’s see if you feel the same if our fans start getting charged for their songs.
I see a can of worms being opened.

It’s never happened before in the IK.

It’s not even as if Tan goes to matches and I certainly heard nothing and there was NO social media about it.

Now I see on FB other clubs fans say thst our fans should be watched and arrested for all the songs we sing.

I don’t say it’s right, but where does it end now we’ve opened it up.

You have all got it wrong, Tan never even heard it.Wayne Nash reported it back to him and that’s when Tan got involved.
We’ve also now fallen out with Bristol over it and soured our relationship as clubs.

Much ado about nothing

This sounds quite likely to be fair

Well it wasn't Tan who did the complaining, he would have to actually turn up at games to hear it.

Of course it’s Tan,the club will do it in his orders. They can’t turn a light in without his say so

Well, as a member of ‘The Trust’ (play along, because we know you are not! ) no one would have more knowledge and compliance of the owner’s ‘wants’ and ‘orders’, eh?

This will be a Disgrace IF.

Prince William is a massive Aston Villa fan, might even be there Friday? Either way singing Lizzies in a box won’t be received well and will be beyond a Disgrace if Our Fans Sing anything.

I’ve just watched the game on YouTube, 27th and 80th mins. I can’t hear anything about ‘sold your souls to a ladyboy ‘ or anything like that.

Anything to do with the stadium an d fans as to through him so not rocket science to say he reported it that's his job ....

No idea what minute it was but I definitely heard it Bristol fans on there forum also saying it's what they were singing but like I said we sing songs just as bad week in week out and if our club has actually kicked up a fuss over this I'm sure it will come back and bite us on the ass as every club will look to report our fans every week

I can see exactly the same happening to us.

100% it will happen to us now the clowns running the club have made a rod for there own backs and they only got themselves to blame when we start catching fines for the songs our fans sing

It's been reported it was at the Ashton Gatev game Oct 6th! And nothing to do with

Chris I realised afterwards but couldn't edit things..... it seems City staff are responsible for telling BC or FA what was shouted...unfortunately tan and ccfc come as a pair when something happens......and it never rains but pours where city's concerned..
