They need to get into 2024 then and not linger in the 1970's Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Playing a Welsh sides and having rods stuck up at me and being called an English so and so I expect and I would say even want to happen. Adds a bit of colour to the game. I really cant believe any person at Wrexham v. Tranmere was offended by being called a Welsh / English so and so that day. Many people (including families) go to games to see the opposition fans being a bit disrespectful towards each other. The incident at the Coventry league game was offensive crossed a line and the person responsible deserved to be arrested and dealt with. To have a blanket ban on football fans being a bit impolite to one another and having no nuance or context is not the way to go for me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans chanting about Leeds fans murdered in Turkey, Hillsborough disaster, Monkey Chants, Chants against female referee has got an STD cross a line and are unacceptable. Being called a English so and so and in reply Welsh fans being called sheep shaggers is not offensive and I enjoy this type of humour at games. 33 minutes ago, markowl said: Racism = "a bit disrespectful" Would say being called an English Whatever is offensive to you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter whether it's offensive to me, as I wasn't there, but the investigation deemed it to be offensive, and the person who did it was "genuinely very sorry". I do find it odd that there seems to be more of this "I don't find it offensive therefore it's not offensive" stuff happening lately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
