Racism in Lower Barclay

Directed at Willy Gueret during the first half yesterday.

Anyone else heard it? Some guy blatantly shouted out something, the stewards must have heard, and there were a few loud ugly comments by others, designed to be heard by other fans.

Not felt compelled to post here before but hadn't heard anything like this in years of sitting in the Barclay and it was a bit of a shocker, especially with so many kids (my son included) within earshot.

Nothing anyone could do at the time unless they were next to these guys but I'm going to be contacting the club.
