If they have a minutes silence for Tommy Smith on Sunday and if it's not pin drop quiet the predictable Chelsea fans in disrespectful outbursts will be everywhere.

Can’t be bothered to buy a paper or get news online this morning, because I just know it’s gonna be a continuation of the same old bollox.

Not sure about Tommy Smith but there will at least be a minute's silence for the 30th anniversary of Hillsborough.

Any fans cannot that cannot respect the dead and shut their idiot mouths for one minute are animals and deserve everything coming their way.

Levene seems to be very divisive among our fans. What bothers people about him?

Hes a lier and a sensationalist, look at that article for gods sake, how does that help anything? Does he ever mention the excellent work the club are doing to try and eradicate the problem? A few months ago he filled his social media about the terrible things he heard from Chelsea fans in stad, which left every Chelsea fan there, and opposing fans totally bemused as they never heard a thing. He's kicked things up since losing his paid job and us using this to run his career, which is disgusting as he is making stuff up and hugely embellishing it.

I thought he did say the club were doing a good job but could be doing more?

I'm not aware of the other posts you've mentioned and couldn't comment on whether his stuff is sensationalised as I'm not from the UK. But I have to say I've liked his articles previously as he seems to be one of the few Chelsea fans who has regularly covered our matches. 

I see your Chewy Suarez and raise you Tommy Smith:

Sorry but the entire situation concerning demonisation of our entire fanbase has gone way beyond the ridiculous. The Telegraph among others, are now printing a story about a flag containing "Nazi symbolism" carried by Chelsea fans outside the stadium. The symbolism in question? A skull and crossbones, as depicted on any of the Headhunters memorabilia that any mug can buy. "Oh look at me, I'm a proper hooligan I am. I genuine real honest to God Chelsea Headhunter" f**k off. 

As for the incident in Prague, while the chant in question was undeniably crass and inane going on utterly brainless, the media frenzy whipped up over the word "bomber" is as usual, out of all proportion to the severity of the incident. I'm still waiting for the equal furore over an Arsenal posting an image of Sikhs at Old Trafford with the caption: "Bomb scare in Manchester, I know where my investigation would start".

Now I've mentioned Arsenal, I'd like to refer back to an infamous image of an Arsenal NF (National Front) flag draped over the advertising hoardings at Highbury. More recently we have the racist video aimed at Kalidou Koulabaly, This is not to excuse the actions of any genuinely racist elements among the Chelsea fanbase, but the point remains that there are many, many more examples of racism among football fans - at Arsenal and elsewhere, and yet only Chelsea have been targeted as an entire fanbase.

Oh and in further reference to Dan Levene , if you're looking for "Tommy Robinson fanboys", check out "We Are The Rangers Boys", a QPR forum.

Wonder what kick it out make of Tommy Smiths comments about Howard Gayle?

How long have you got? 

First and foremost he is a liar and a hypocrite. 

He watches Chelsea from a press box yet seems to be able to hear every word of every song better than anyone else. I have personally been in Chelsea away ends for certain games where he has reported 'racist chanting'. Nobody else I know heard it, it wasn't picked up on TV broadcasting audio, but Dan heard it from his press box on the other side of the stadium and reports it. He will argue it was loud and clear, ignore anyone who questions him, and proceed to tell the story and promote the narrative on Talksport, and any other platform that gives him the time of day. Oh, and of course he never thinks to record it, even though it is so loud he can hear it from his press box. 

He also a massive hypocrite, and changes his tune to suit his agenda. Last week, he was outraged by Chelsea fans using the word "pikey" in jest against West Ham fans. Dan was so appalled by this that he branded it 'racism' and contacted members of the travelling community to make for a good story. He is determined to stamp it out, and wants the club to take action. Unfortunately for Dan, he had forgotten about a few of his tweets from 2015, before he realised that he could make a few quid being the self appointed chief of battling racism at Chelsea; on more than one occasion he tweeted a nod of approval to the home crows for singing the 'Frank Lampard 200 song'. You know, the one that refers to West Ham as "pikeys". So Dan thought it was fine a few years ago, even tweeted in approval of how loud it could be heard..... but now it is "racist" and needs to be stamped out. 

He is so easy to see thrugh; a profiteering, grassing weasel, who is in it to make money, nothing else. And he will drag the clubs name through the mud with his lies in order to do it.

I’d be stupified if the silence is not observed. Just hope some poor sod hasn’t got a hacking cough. They’ll sling him inside and throw away the key.

Dalglish had a lot of time for Suarez as well.

Pikey is not racist, it’s a derogatory term, about a group of people from different races, sharing a common ideology.

I used to really think Dan talked a lot of sense about all things Chelsea then he went all Social Justice Warrior on our fanbase and I had to unfollow him on twitter. Doesn't even talk about the football much anymore .  I believe he has good intentions but he's so deep into it now that dividing us doesn't seem to bother him at all. To Levene his cause is greater than the good of the club we love. 

I have read many of his articles. He's had good and bad things to say about Chelsea. I have no idea what happens among the diehard fans. I can't comment. 

Not a huge fan of his writings. But our problem is our problem and we need to address it and not bring other clubs into the discussion. Any type of discussion about which is the most racist club itself is so ridiculous. Lets not lower ourselves into that 

I have avoided the media throughout all of this and I intend to keep doing that. There is a reason why I have an attitude of f**k everybody else when it comes to football, and it's because of the constant demonisation of our club. Every single time a couple of pricks say something racist or stupid, we all get treated as the same as them and the media start twisting everything into some sort of act of racism from our clubs fans. 

The media are scum and anybody that hangs onto their word like it's 100% fact and truth are f**king idiots.

Liverpool fan here. I realise it's not the best time to stick my oar in. Anyway, regarding the Tommy Smith thing, as a youngster I remember Howard Gayle playing one match and thinking he was fantastic, and wondered why he didn't play more. Just googled it and he played 4 times.  I'm not saying the reason he didn't play much was racism, although it was everywhere in those days. I remember an interview with Kevin Keegan who said Tommy Smith despised him at first and kept bullying him until Keegan basically had a dressing room punch-up with him and Smith then left him alone. I think there were a lot more thick pillocks around at that time. The difference is, in these times we should be moving on. After reading up on it I found I wasn't in a position to comment on Suarez's insults to Evra because Suarez has been brought up in a different environment. I can, however, comment on Liverpool/Dalglish's stance and say it was appalling. I've just had my tea and a shedload of wine so I reckon I've wrote some rubbish, but I'll finish by saying the Salah stuff is the same as most players/teams get everywhere (although I'm commenting again and it's not me on the receiving end), but the Sterling stuff wasn't right.

We must be the only club in the world with a Jewish owner and for certain elements a so called Nazi fan base.Kind of defies logic.

"The Stirling Stuff"  he was abused,  though not racially.. if that was a white person nothing more would be sa8d...Meanwhile the banana incident never got a mention  in the news.

Good read that, very thoughtful. Admittedly Gayle isn't a player I know a huge amount about.

Crikey, just read about a black fan being abused in Prague. I've seen him on a Chelsea YouTube channel in the past so it's definitely not a fake. This is ridiculous and sickening. What I want to know is why no one stuck up for him. The racists still exist within our club. Such a sad thing to read.

For all those complaining about unfair coverage, this is on the front page of the Guardian website:

But will that dominate the media for along time like incidents involving Chelsea.
