  • If you wondered where those Chelsea fans on the Paris Metro got their inspiration, there's a very eye-opening Storyville documentary about Beitar Jerusalem on iplayer now, whose fans openly and proudly sing about how they're the most racist team in the country and protested vociferously when the club signed two Chechen Muslim players as a result of Arcadi Gaydamak's shady as fuck dealings with the Chechen president.

    Great example of what can be massively shit about football.

  • That is a brilliant documentary and to be commended to everyone, whether or not they follow football. It shows that the issue is deeper than football suppport. Indeed,, football has, to a considerable extent worked to combat that particular issue.

    In Israel, many people whi supported Beitar have now moved on to a new side set up as a reaction to the racism. These include the otherwise unpraisworthy Netinyhau. The money launderer was laudable in his attempts to change the racism within Beitar. Sadly he failed. How they remain in UEFA is unfathomable.

    To say that they inspired the idiots on the Paris Metro is nmore than a stretch. Those people almost certainly were unaware of Beitar and not at all likely to be influenced by them. Beitar racists were only anti Muslim. The Paris Metro idiots appear to have been anti black and may have been anti semitic as well.

    Finally, if you think that racism, anti semitism and homophobia in football is confined to Chelsea and that opposition to them should be focused on Chelsea, then you are in for a very big disappointment.

  • Ahh yeah, how could we ever forget: "You are Chelsea an Chelsea is style"

    😒

  • Obviously my Chelsea comments were solely based on the fact that I know no-one reads comments in this thread unless they include a dig at Chelsea or Liverpool, and I prefer Liverpool.

    The documentary shows a lot about sections of the Israeli society and mentality as well, and I was completed unsurprised to see Avigdor Lieberman pop up, the Israeli Farage who has legitimised the kind of disgusting attitudes shared by a lot of those fans.

    You might wanna do a little read up on the treatment of the ethiopian israelites (the hebrews, not the semites). They've suffered sickening behaviour little different to the behaviour seen on the Metro and even endured forced sterilisation.
