so sad that the Police have nothing better to do in todays namby pamby society where it seems that it is a crime if you are English or say you are proud to be English!! Steve Evans hes certainly a fine upright figureof society, Not !!

Peter Crouch would have found that out if he had played again!

Were they arrested for abusing him for being Scottish? If so, why only 3 and how did they choose which three?
Just guessing but born in Glasgow, is he Catholic? I'm sure that, as always there will be more to this than we know and suspect that if we knew the full story we'd be saying we don't need supporters like that at the club, assuming they're guilty of whatever they're accused of.
In any case, much as i dislike the man, that chanting was not the Rainham End's finest hour.

This is football the supposed game of the working man,yes the chant was loud and offensive to Evans but and it is a big but this has been going on in football since football began! If the individuals tryed to assault Evans they deserve all they get but the word "Racist" is bandied around to easy in todays Namby Pamby Liberal dominated Government which the Police are a part of,society as a whole is sick of it!!

It hasn't been happening since football began, not at all - only in the last 40-50 years. Surely you're not trying to argue that there's a place for racism in football, even among working men? What an insult to the intelligence of the modern working man! Racism is never good and great strides gave been made.
IMO calling someone Scottish isn't racist which is why i doubt that's the full story but that chant hardly demonstrated intelligence or imagination. The RE is usually better than that.

Count me with Technical here. There is no place for racism anywhere and that includes chants about our neighbors to the north. It is still the UNITED Kingdom for now. Let's chant about our team in a positive fashion and not demean someone based on their national origin. We are better than that IMO.

Here we go the Racism issue again!!!! Of course I do not agree with Racism but I do not always agree with the context it is used in!! I am English and proud of it but sadly the Political establishment in this country would wish me not to be so proud!! Evans is a big boy(thats a understatement) and I am sure he can give out as good as he gets,but I will reiterate if someone tryed to assault him that is wrong!
This isn't a Political board but a football one but sadly individuals use the word racism and in this country the rational is destroyed!

Is this not the same fat, scottish, twat (i suppose some might call me racist for saying that) who had AH arrested for allegedly being racist against him, no charges were ever made. It is clear SE is just a complete tit. What is the difference when a keeper takes a goal kick and everyone shouts out ARRRRHHHHHHH YOUR SH1T AHHHHHHHHHHH regardless of if it may be a sh1t keeper or a worldy. Its football. Racism no, obviously no place for it, are we supposed to sit there in silence though, give me a break.

We don't know exactly what these people were arrested for. It's unlikely to have been simply for calling him fat and Scottish, as if that were the case, several hundred people should have been arrested. We also don't know what AH said.
I maintain that RE is at it's best when it's behind the team and producing imaginative/funny/intelligent songs. This was none of that and unfortunately the chanting, which has been widely reported, leaves the club, it's supporters and the people of the Medway towns looking thick and narrow minded. We don't need any help to perpetuate that image.
