prowl Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 12 hours ago, Mike Hunt said: Telling football fans they shouldn’t abuse officials when things go against them not sure that’s going to happen Did I ever say it would happen? The trouble is if the lines 'person' is female or coloured a certain number of fans will bring that into their abuse. That isn't acceptable these days, it's wrong because it's not because of their sex or skin colour that they make mistakes. It's also illegal and just downright wrong. Abuse the officials if you must but keep sex or race out of it. I can understand that tempers flare in the heat of the moment but officials do the best they can. They make mistakesbut then again we all do but 20,000 people aren't watching ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So of course it never happened and I was making it up. Which is the first thing I do after a good away day. Madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think our fans would have chucked something at the linesman if he was a white man, which is sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to answer your first 4 questions....it isnt.....I'm not going to go all high and mighty because ive taken part myself and its all seen as a laugh.....unless of course you are in one of those brackets....or your kids are But.......and Im really not sure what people dont get about this......chucking stuff at the officials is a completely different thing I’m not apologising for anyone at all Ian. But here’s the problem, you say it’s definitely not ok to make fun of people because of their height ( a genetic trait). yet you are calling for people to be banned from football for sexist abuse ( you said you didn’t hear and nobody has substantiated). so when someone started a thread on here about Barry Bannans hight why weren’t you so vociferous in calling for that person to be banned from football? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the posts I read said they hadn’t heard anything, and Ian himself said he hadn’t heard it. In addition to the people on this thread saying they heard it, the stadium announcer had to make an announcement asking people to stop doing it after having been instructed by the match officials. I doubt the officials are going to make something like that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the officials are going to make something like that up. It's best to not acknowledge these ones that come on saying 'did it really happen though? Nobody has proven it' or 'are you really sure it was Wednesday fans?' after every incident Just pat them on their heads and say 'alreyt love.... alreyt' and send them on their way instead back to denialsville Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
