asteener1867 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 We will soon all be sat down singin' bloody hymns and mutterin'..."Out wide Tarquin".... There is no way i'm gonna respect any team that comes to Hillsborough...I will have a pint and a laugh with the fans of any bugger before or after a game...during the 90 minutes i want them sat quiet and humiliated...does this make me a bad person?

DeeJayOne Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 More details: The Football Association has taken a radical new approach to tackling bad behaviour from fans and players by launching its own football club Respect F.C. The aim of the club is not to win silverware or secure a Champions League place; its goal will be to unite fans against the ugly side of the beautiful game to create a safe and enjoyable environment in which it can take place. Appointing comedian and avid Bristol City fan Mark Watson as Chairman, the Club has been founded through concern from both the top level of the game and the grassroots community around abuse to-wards referees and poor sideline behaviour. Respect F.C. is not your usual football club; it‟s a football club made up of people from all walks of life, with one collective goal – to bring Respect back to the game we all love. For every fan that joins Respect F.C., The FA has pledged to put £1 back into the Respect initiative within grassroots football (up to the value of £50,000). Members of the Club will be able to vote online at www.RespectFootballClub.com to say how this money is used at the end of the 2010/ 2011 season. Rallying fans to get behind Respect F.C. Chairman Mark Watson has filmed an impassioned plea from the club‟s modest headquarters, which features starring roles from former Liverpool captain Neil „Razor‟ Ruddock, Portsmouth legend Steve Claridge and Sky Sports commentator Chris Kamara. Depicting the intolerable bad behaviour of a gobby moron, scenes feature Neil Ruddock ruining a child‟s birthday party by barking abuse at the children‟s entertainer and singling out the birthday boy for some special attention for passing the parcel too slowly. Muddied with comedy gold, the film also sees player turned football pundit Steve Claridge donning a Strictly Come Dancing style outfit and dancing across a waterlogged pitch. The rousing closing scenes from the Chairman‟s speech see Mark Watson in unison with football fans wearing white Respect F.C. scarves and joining mascots from Chelsea, Bristol City, Swansea City, Nottingham Forest, Watford, Fulham, Birming-ham City, Sheffield Wednesday, and Millwall to show support for the radical new club. Respect F.C. is not just about raising awareness; it‟s much more than that. Everyone who is involved in the game in some way is aware of poor behaviour and knows that – be it towards referees, players or fellow fans – it is wrong. The challenge now is to unite, change people‟s attitudes and make them realise that verbal and physical abuse are not acceptable in the game. Respect F.C. Chairman, Mark Watson, said: “We know that it‟s so much easier to take a stand against poor behaviour if you are not on your own, if you have someone else on your team. Collectively we can stand up to the gobby morons. If you‟d like to show the people spoiling our game, what they‟re up against go to RespectFootballClub.com to join my new football club, Respect F.C., the club with one goal – to rid the game of the gobby morons.” Alex Horne, FA General Secretary, said: “Football fans from all clubs and all leagues have a collective responsibility to let others know that they will not stand for this behaviour from the grassroots of the game up to the international stage. That‟s why we‟re asking everyone, to ask everyone, to join the club and together win the match against bad behaviour.” Latest research from The FA has shown that 45% of players, coaches and referees think the Respect programme has improved their experience of the game.The majority of participants surveyed were also aware of the Respect programmes key objectives with 68% recognising that Respect aims to create a safe and enjoyable environment for the game. Fans are encouraged to log onto www.RespectFootballClub.com and register their support to unite against the ugly side of footy.

eckington owl Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 You could campaign for years and years and you would never get rid of swearing in the stands. People are just too passionate about the game. It's hard to control your mouth when your team score in the last minute to win the game or your nobber of a captain brings down a player in the box to conceed a penalty in the 7th minute. The excitement and adrenaline takes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
