Bannofan Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Do our fans really sing that about Billy Sharp? Bit weird. Also if dem blades sing it as well...well I thought they wouldn't really want to go near the subject of sex offenders ( acquitted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember our fans singing songs about Tony Currie years ago involving sex and an alsatian (obviously never happened) and more recently the song about Neil Warnock which was sung every time he came to S6 as our opponents manager. I doubt it very much that songs like this will ever stop and stopping games because of it might encourage some fans even more. Especially when 2-0 down with 20 minutes to go.

To be fair to them (which I don't like doing), a lot of their fans have said that it was disgusting and embarrassing and wished that their fans didn't sing it.

The only way is S6 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 The sooner we get back to; Georgie Best, superstar. Wears frilly knickers & a Playtex bra. the better! How many years was Beckham asked if Posh took it up the tradesman's? He just laughed it off. Too many over-sensitive wet farts about these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or alternatively, just people who no longer want to bandy about ridiculous songs with ' sex offender' in them ? I just find it puzzling why you would want to sing that. Maybe I am an oversensitive wet fart, but I think I'd rather be that than someone who sings about sex offenders to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridportOwl Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I think it is connected to the wider problem we have in football at the moment, racist abuse seems to be on the rise, fans throwing things from the stands, people coming onto the pitch. There seems to be a real nastiness in the game over the last few years and I for one don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Moore used to pss himself at his song, being a lamb shanker & wearing his hat back to front. Others have had the same over the years & they deal with it. Question is: why can't you?

Classic victim blaming mate. Maybe people have decided being called a sex offender/paedo/aids victim, all in the name of "banter" is now unacceptable. Just a thought.

markowl Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Also, when was Ronnie Moore playing? 1970s and 80s? Maybe we should bring Love Thy Neighbour back too, I'm sure the black community would laugh that off as banter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but the point of my thread was why this particular chant was deemed to be unreportable by the mass media. They all seem to have taken a decision that my adult ears are far too sensitive to be hearing it and it's OK for them to tell me a thing is bad but not to tell me what that bad thing is. When did we get to this point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did we get to this point? When did we get to the point of racist comedians not being on TV? Society evolves, and things that were once acceptable, are now being called out.

Can you understand what I'm getting at? If you think this is OK, then that's tragic I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are always going to get the odd incident but think the real change in the last few years is that the way things are reported are more sensationalised than they used to be, not just in football but everything generally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you are talking specifically about this chant then twitter or /sp/ off the top of my head, but as OP said twitter is a cess pool and /sp/ can be If you are talking generally then there are many news sources that lean either left or right, the truth is usually somewhere in the middle, its best to get the view from a few angles rather than just assuming one is correct.
