To be fair Tommy, why would the BBC or whoever write the lyrics, they don't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my point, they should need to, when reporting news to adults. So we get the full picture rather than one decided on by someone else. Even if you have to omit certain words, you can still give the gist. This particular matter could have been reported with the full words imo. When I looked for info on this chant to Akinfenwa there wasn't any indication at all from a broad spectrum of news websites, as to what the actual chant was. I think this is wrong. It was the point of my thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's part of the game and the crowd and the atmosphere. And if anybody has broad enough shoulders to take it and laugh it off, it's AA. Tbf you think storming turnstiles to get into a game just banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I was there at the Wycombe v MK match with my kids, as my sons football team had an 11.30 kick off so couldnt get up to sheffield for the Ipswich game (hence why no comments on the match thread for saturday). I was in the MK end. It was a very lively away end to be fair, it was sold out and full of drunk idiots and no love lost between Wycombe and MK. AA was warming up by the away end to relentless abuse shouted at him, plus that song constantly, plus the you fat B stuff. For a sustained period of 10 mins there was no other song at all from the away end than that one and he eventually flipped. The game was stopped for maybe 5 mins. The MK players O'Hara, Darling and Lewington all came across to the away end and told the MK fans to stop the chant. It then stopped. It resumed briefly in the second half and was quickly booed by both sets of fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe people have decided being called a sex offender/paedo/aids victim, all in the name of "banter" is now unacceptable. Just a thought. It doesn't bother me one iota. Victim blaming? That's for the birds. It's a ludicrous song sung by silly people, probably under the influence, with not one scrap of factual content. Big deal. Why does this scenario bother you is the question? It's not about you, or anybody you know, or anything to do with our club & it has totally fictitious lyrics and yet you choose to be offended, on behalf of AA. I think that's stranger than the act itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor lamb. He flips over a ridiculous, fictional song? Game, set and match to the fans. Goes with the territory of being a footballer I'm afraid. Blow them a kiss, take a bow, smile and wink, do the orchestra conductor hands, cup your ears etc etc. Show them it's laughable, having no effect & they'll get bored and stop.

markowl Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 It baffles me that people have an opinion on a scenario that they'll never go through, but speak with such certainty about how they'd deal with it. Absolutely bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, a miniscule percentage of the population can't deal with those facts. The backlash would be unbearable. Off to S6 now. If there's any swearing or rude chants about some bankers at the Lane, I'm leaving early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
