QPR boss Chris Ramsey: ''Racist' Chelsea fans not real supporters'

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey believes that a group of Chelsea fans deserve punishment if they are found guilty of racist abuse following an incident in Paris.

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey has called for a group of Chelsea supporters to be punished after they allegedly racially abused a man at a Paris Metro station.

On Tuesday evening, video footage showed the fans shoving a black man off a train and chanting "we're racist, we're racist and that's how we like it".

Police are examining the footage and Chelsea Football Club have vowed to ban any supporter found guilty of racist abuse.

When asked for his thoughts about the incident in today's press conference, Ramsey said: "There's no place for racism in football. I don't believe these people are fans of football. I'm interested to see what the authorities do to eradicate this, to see what the sanctions are for these people. As much as this is something that has happened in football, it is still a society issue in general.

"I've experienced a lot of racism in my time in the game. I started in the game in 1978. It's get shuffled about and hidden. But I don't want this to be about me, I want the authorities to focus on what happened in Paris so it doesn't happen again.

"Myself and [director of football Les Ferdinand] being in the roles we are here is a huge achievement for us, but we shouldn't be judged on race. Football as a whole needs to deal with these racists, and people outside football as well. It's a crime."

Souleymane S, who claims to be the victim of the incident, has told the French press that the perpetrators should be "locked up" in prison.
