Not aimed at anyone on here, but some who might read this please take note.
If you don't agree with what this lad says or does (or doesn't do) there are plenty of ways of expressing that, in or out of a football stadium, without singing anything that can be construed as being racist, or otherwise give him cause to complain to the referee during a game, which he now does regularly, and/or in some of your eyes 'lets him play it all up'.
Ultimately it will cause the club problems and they will have to find ways to prevent those problems happening again.
'Gawd nose' some Town fans wound Alex Bruce up in the past relentlessly to the point he totally lost the plot in one game, all because his father is seen as the master of our financial downfall when he was our Manager. But he still had the balls to play for us later and do a decent job.
Not saying this lad would or that we would either, but what would happen if we did sign him from Stoke? Would a significant chunk of the 'singing end' not turn up anymore? Or would the dumb, rather than the clever, still make their voice heard in unacceptable ways and cause the club more problems?
He's as much entitled to his opinion as you and me given where he is from.
No I don't sympathise with anyone that thinks bombs and bullets solve anything before anyone starts on that line.
There are others that make, or have made, choices on other people's lives, whether or not they are guilty of something in their own little world or tiny minds, that aren't and they are the ones you should really be having a go at. I guess because they don't play football every weekend it's not as easy to do, is it?
Some of them are on TV and Twitter as examples, regularly.
There's loads of foreign players who could equally question why they have to wear a shirt with a poppy on it, but don't. It's their choice. My former German boss once wondered why I wore one every year when he came over for meetings in November. What would your explanation be? Mine was not based on two world wars and one world cup, but I know a few who would have answered that way.
