I fully appreciate that...

I go down to London quite a lot and now walk wherever I can. On the few occasions I have got a bus or a tube I have been nervous.

The chants were wrong and inexcusable however all I was saying is I have heard worse at football and I think Hull are getting a bit of a rough deal over this when I know that QPR fans are no angels.

Its rather like the Liverpool fans that rioted at Millwall last season. Yes Hillsborough chants (if they happened) were sick and wrong but Liverpool fans were out of order and got away with icausing trouble again because they somehow manage to portray themselves as victims.
