Chelsea condemn chants about Anton Ferdinand at Genk

[lfc4life]

Chelsea have condemned chants by their own supporters about QPR defender Anton Ferdinand during Tuesday's 1-1 Champions League draw at Genk.

The travelling fans repeatedly sang about Ferdinand, who it is alleged was racially abused by Blues captain John Terry at Loftus Road on 23 October.

A Chelsea spokesman said in a statement: "The chanting was wholly inappropriate and we don't condone it."

Manager Andre Villas-Boas insisted he had not heard the chanting.

"I was concentrating on the game," he said.

on saturday arsenal fans were taunting ashley cole about simon cowell but no big fuss is made,i've heard hundreds of taunts over the years terry included it will always happen but playing the racism card gets all the attention did van persie really make nazi salutes after scoring on saturday? i dont think so,for me its far sicker for fans to sing about the munich air crash i cant believe any true football fan could,

i agree,
unfortunately it took a couple of other clubs to have disasters before it was addressed.

Not condoning it, but much worse has been said from terraces..

In my opinion Chelsea would lost the last game if the goldkeeper would be different. New brilliant goldkeeper Grzegorz Sandomierski was a player in my local team club. Sorry for my english.

You gets chants about players all the time in games but what the Chelsea fans were chanting was in a way racism with what Terry said.

The whole Garry Neville issue is a different thing there was no racism there he just aint liked, like Carragher isn't liked by Utd fans. But if anyone chants things about their fams then that is wrong.

Anyone making offensive chants about the Munich Air disaster, Hillsborough are pathetic, the Leeds fans earlier in the season were wrong to do that as were the Utd fans mocking the fans that died in Turkey all those years back.

Every club has a duty to play their part and erradicate this from our game it's not needed. More needs to be done on the matter before it does get out of hand and we end up with a mass riot or something worse god forbid.
