I hope this is just selective reporting of a minor incident. Norwich isn’t exactly the most cosmopolitan of cities, but the fans did enthusiastically embrace the “Kick Racism Out of Football” campaign, so I’m a bit surprised that this should happen. Something definitely does need to be done about the “We Shoot Burglars” chant, though. I’ve heard it far too often (about twice in both matches I’ve been to this year) and it’s not the kind of thing a good family club’s supporters should chant.
It’s all to do with psychotic Norfolk farmer, Tony Martin. Here’s the Mirror’s tabloid take on him and here’s the Grauniad’s.
Clearly the man’s a national hero, just like the Krays, Nicholas van Hoogstraten and Jeffrey Archer.
