Yeah we all pm'ed eachother to corroborate our memoirs just for fun. Little scamps we are see. I am afraid the evidence disagrees with you. As usual. | |

Serious question for people that went to the Vetch on 23:35 - Sep 19 by Garyjack | Never as vile as a few hundred singing "Who's up Dudleys missus"! If i remember that then i'd certainly remember any racist comments towards Jason Price, which quite frankly i didn't. Ever! |
As I said, thankfully you dont share the memories many of us on this thread clearly have. | |

Then like I have said countless times, we all must have PM'ed eachother to corroborate our stories then. Just for a laugh. What Price received was nothing even remotely like "what all our players received back then and still do today". I am amazed I have even read that. It happened. If you don't wish to believe the accounts, then that is your choosing. But there is no reason for any of these people to make it up. Not hearing something is not proof of anything, hearing something is. I won't be backing down on this I am afraid. [Post edited 20 Sep 2017 0:30]

I don't care if you back down on it or not. I'm simply disagreeing with you, How do you feel about the abuse Dudley Lewis received at the same time? Did you hear that? Or wasn't it so important as it didn't involve the colour of his skin. | | | |

You can't disagree with what people heard when you claim to not have. You can claim you did not hear it, but not what other people did. A very important point there. I was not a season ticket holder in the 80's, so you could say I didn't hear it.... Note for reference I am not claiming you didn't and others are making it up, just that I didn't. There lies the difference. | |

But i didn't claim that you heard it, i simply asked if you did. If i claimed that you heard it then that would be an accusation that you heard it and are now denying that you heard it, and therefore making you to be lying which i'm not. But simply asking if you heard it or not. If you you weren't a season ticket holder at the time then does that mean you didn't hear it as because you weren't a season ticket holder in the mid 80's but were in the 90's, you didn't go to games at all? So then, did you hear it? Own up! | | | |

I think you are confusing yourself here. You said you disagreed with me. I told you that you cannot disagree what someone heard when you openly admit you did not. You can state you did not hear something, thats fine, but you cannot tell people that they did not hear something. Thats just mental. This thread is about Jason Price, if you are that outraged regarding the treatment of another player 10 years previous, then feel free to make a thread. Once people have stated what they heard, there really is nowhere to go from there. Its first hand evidence. Whether you or a gazillion others say they personally didn't, it makes no difference to the point in hand as many state they clearly did. As I have said many times, hearing something is proof of an event occuring, not hearing something is not proof it did not - only that the person in question did not hear it.

There were. The only thing close to racist abuse to a Swansea player was some chanting about Steve Mardenbrough. Plenty of abuse for opposition black players well into the 1990s sadly. Perhaps the zenith of this was against WBA and Watford in the 1982/83 season. The combination of racist and homophobic chanting against Watford was funny to 14 year old me but with retrospect absolutely hideous. Racism-yes. To our own players- not something I ever heard | | | |

There is no blind spot. The people that do remember it on this thread are far more valuable to the event than thise that don't. Most of my mates dont remember the weird bloke that always stood to our right, but there are some that do. Their accounts are far more valuable than the most that dont, they just clearly dont remember or did not notice - to assume he never existed just because they do not recall would be crazy. How anyone can think they are tuned in to every comment when a thousand strong are shouting at a player is beyond me. I would assume what you hear is largely due to where exactly you were in the North Bank. Can you tell me every sentence shouted by every person at the same time when JJ lost the ball? Clearly not. There are 4 people on this thread who vividly remember it (and a host of others off this site that do). To suggest they did not, just because you did not is sheer lunacy or extreme revisionist and wishful thinking. I say again, not hearing something is not proof an event did not occur, it just means you did not hear it. Hearing something is however. He was abused on almost a game by game basis, some of this racist. Now choose not to believe - fine. State you did not personally hear - fine. But neither of those change the fact that it did and that many as a result heard it. [Post edited 20 Sep 2017 9:26]

Yup funny also remember the Watford games from late 70's. As a young kid, hearing the racist chants and seeing objects thrown (bananas) were just part of football. It wasn't a small minority chanting. Clearly it's wrong but the extreme tribalism of football in 70s/80's meant anything that wound up the opposition or fans was tolerated. Don't even remember police or stewards attempting to stop it. There again always a few guys throwing golf balls, coins and even darts at opposting fans, and that was largely ignored. | | | |

Indeed. the 1982 Welsh Cup Final was perhaps the nastiest. Ended up at the front of the NB. Old men were gobbing on the Bennett brothers. Mind you that was probably the least of SWP problems that evening. | | | |

No. Hearsay is a rumour. I am talking about first hand primary source accounts. Broadly speaking, If there was a murder on your street. 5 people said they heard then man scream "I am going to kill you", 10 said they did not hear anything - it is the 5 people that actually did hear it that is valuable to the case in hand, not the ones that didn't. | |

Er....no. It's nowhere near as simple as you are trying to make out. I cannot comment on the validity of your claim but if, as you say 15 people were around and 5 heard it but 10 didn't, ... they are all witnesses and a jury or credible person would decide who they believe, not e20. Also, the credibility of each of those witnesses would be brought into question, all 15. So. If 5 say they did and 10 say they didn't and that is all you had, the chances are the 10 would be believed. These are witness statements and not proof of the event. Anyway, this thing about any abuse JJ may have received was not heard by me. Not saying it didn't happen as perhaps I was not in earshot of it. Given I was on the NB throughout the 90s I would be in the not heard it camp. Like you said though, doesn't mean it didn't happen. There are just far more who didn't hear it which perhaps makes it less believable. Not only that, for something that far back memories can play tricks on some people. Perhaps you've become a victim of the Mandela effect? | | | |
