Have been guilty of some proper filthy language in the past but as I've got older I've learnt to curb it. Not totally but almost. Common decency innit.
I do think if there is a stand where it is more or less banned then don't do it there, but otherwise it is fine. Get a bit bored when it's just teens wanting to shout c-unit at their manager/players/anyone.
Seriously though the way the lino performed on Friday I just had to get it out of my system and yes I probably swore excessively but its a part of football to be honest.

Group of CAFC fans got thrown out in the North Lower standing up near the back for swearing. Bit of a joke considering Palace had flares and it didn't seem to be stopped.

it's football. My 6 year old and 9 year old know not to repeat what they hear . Its a passionate game. I do have a problem if a person stands up shouting the C word all game. that's out of order.
Got thrown out years back from North Upper with 2 mates. We were playing Liverpool in the prem. All 3 of us got 1 game bans and were interviewed at the ground the week after about our language. Nothing more than an F or W here or there. Turned out it was an off duty copper that complained and no, he wasn't a season ticket holder. Stupid...

Had some absolute muppets sitting in front of me on Friday night in the north lower. Comedy joey barton haircuts, moody polos and pathetic squeaky voices. Swearing in frustration is fair enough - but swearing non-stop for 90 minutes just to try and impress your dad is pretty sad. Still, they were at least a little less upsetting than the pilchard behind us who had the tactical nous of a lemon drizzle cake, but still shouted out his 'opinions' on where we were going wrong to everyone within 100 yards.

Flares and dressed in black. Besides being wankers, unfashionable ones at that. Re swearing, i must admit to letting rip on friday and then being grassed up to mum when we got home. My boy then sang her the Adams family song.
think i was to shellshocked to do much swearing couldnt believe the dross i was watching but my two lads made up for it but not just for swearings sake.it was that bad ive had to take today off work cos i cant face the millwall and gillingham pikies i work with giving it all the billy big bollocks today.need some space!
Do me a favor! It's part of the game, the players do it too! I don't think its right continuously and for no reason but its a passionate game - anyone effing and blinding our boys coming off a f/t needs to piss off and find another club, if you're not there to support the club in good and bad you're not welcome. I'm a Loyal supporter not like those 2bob fair weather fans.
Personally I dont have a personal problem with people swearing. I do too much myself. However when there are young kids and women around people should restrain. We want to attract them back and they may be put off. There are times like Friday when the referee forced me to swear but I feel guilty. As a gneral rule I think people should be able to go in the family stand or upper west and feel fairly swear free. OK for the covered end to have a different culture. People can then make a choice
I personally don't think it is necessary, but accept that some people do like to swear. However I don't think the 'c' word is acceptable at all, it is a vile and offensive word.

This, it should never be heard in public when there are women and children present
I hardly swear at all in everyday life, but at Charlton it's a lot harder. I try to set an example to my 13 year old daughter, but I think it's fair to say I failed in that respect on Friday. Luckily her mum swears like a trooper with tourettes, so no chance of getting in trouble for it.
its about respect in it bruv I vent off at games but if there are kids about i do try not to. I would think tho with the way CAFC have been for decades its enough to start you swearing--drinking---violence---self harming.
Agree about the c--- word, don't like it at all in any situation. Generally not to bothered about fans swearing at matches. I often find that it isn't the swearing but who is doing it....ie, bloke up our local uses the f word in almost every sentence he puts together, don't think anything of it, doesn't offend me in the slightest, but if the young lady who works behind the bar used that language I'd be shocked....maybe I'm old fashioned but that's how I see it.

My 6 y/o dropped me in it with his Mum for his rendition of "Weve got Chris Solly...... ........"
Lol!
I'm blamed for teaching my kids all the swear words. I do try to reign it in when I'm in public, but passions run high at football matches, so I can't say I've never sworn at one.
Not got a problem with swearing at matches (its football not a Tea Dance) if it comes from passion, ie a blatant bad reffing decision etc. I admit I probably let too many go myself at times, especially as mentioned above, Wilson's shot in the last second! But I think most supporters were pretty unanimous in venting then! I dont like people punctuating words with swear words, a, its pretty sad and b the word loses its fucking effect. ;o)
we are a funny lot myself included. ok every so often but not someone swearing all game. ok when certain people are around not if women and children around ok to use this word not that word its either right or wrong
football is a mans game,to many women now go ,i think swearing is part of it
Don't be so silly. I don't know a single woman who is offended by swearing. I am a woman and I swear all the time, yes even the c-word. The football is a place where it is almost expected. The same as say a pub. You wouldn't get your knickers in a twist if someone swore then, so why at a football match when emotions are running high and most people have had a drink? Madness. If someone were to ask me nicely to stop then I would. But as they don't I will swear if I feel it appropriate. E.g Wilson's shot. Why didn't he cross it?!

Do you swear around your Grandma then, or if you know the people you are talking to find it offensive? Would you swear at a funeral?
It's easy making statements that divide everything into right or wrong. The reality is that there are rules of etiquette whether you like it or not and you will, I guarantee it, abide by them sometimes even if you don't like it.
At football I would never presume to expect that people don't swear. The worst swearing I have encountered at the Valley was by a women who sat behind me in the East. I suspect that she had decided that she was a ladette and that's what lads do so she gave it the huge foghorn every single game.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to swear especially in the passion of the moment. It is right to be sensitive to those around you, whether at football or elsewhere and moderate your language accordingly.
