[cite]Posted By: Plaaayer[/cite]I'm not saying that the bloke sounds like a complete C.................I mean wally! I'm just saying if you don't want your son to hear rubbish like that then there is always alternatives.
To be fair my son ignores ( or is oblivious to it) it's me who gets angry by it!
Cant help but swear at football. I know you shouldnt but its to hard not to with some of the refs we have to put up with. Saying things like pedo c**t is way over the top & no need for it but the odd f & w****r are always going to be said although if i do see a kid sitting near i do try to keep it down but most of the time cant help it.
Have to put my hand up to swearing, and yes it is not right to sound off with a string of bad languague, especially in front of young children.
With myself it is a lack of self control, ill discipline and poor manners!.....
Good luck to those that contain themselves, but I am afraid that the occassion get's to me, which is my justification. Only swore once yesterday. Never been worried about swearing in front of woman, cannot see the issue here!.
Being a 'local', swearing is part of the culture I grew up in.....
[cite]Posted By: Clem_Snide[/cite]Simple message to the twats towards the rear who started the "fuck off Parky" chant.
FUCK OFF......absolute cnuts. Pleased most around them gave them some stick.
Sure it was John the Rat and his cronies.
It was just one person. It was immediately after the 'Parky give us a wave' one. One of those cronies, yes, was sitting next to Paul Nottage. Has been going years, you would recognise him Clem.
A lot of macho 'trying proving how funny we are to each other' in that group.
Fortunately quite a few people around told him what they thought.

Yeah, but they're real men, real fans, real 'ossers
If you dont like swearing dont sit in the North upper simples, okay you get the odd one the rest of the ground but its silly bringing your chilidren to north upper then calling people childish for swearing
I have taken my daughter to games since she was three. I explained that football was an accepted to place to swear (to cover my language). Anyone can swear at football but not outside in school etc. This covers the oi ref you....
I moved from J block season before last, just couldnt handle all the twats who sit there, was spending my sat evenings not fuming at how crap we were but embarressed of own fans

Yeah let's all move for a small group morons . I should be allowed to take my kids anywhere in the ground without being told it's "silly".
I have a novel idea , how about the stewards in J Block do their job for once.

What impose the ground regulations on fans surely not.
i don't think the ''it's football so anything goes'' arguement is valid. If so we'd tolerate racist chants and the wheels on the bus which thankfully we don't.
Beds, if you are still unhappy then take a note of the guys seat number and either report it to a steward at the game or email mick.everett@cafc.co.uk
theres plums everywhere now, not just at football. You cant even get a train to work now without some Jack the Peanut shouting on his phone, using as many swear words as possible.
Theres a little group that go every week, home & away and they are always talking and singing shite. They drink in the Lib before the game and are always having a sneaky salmon in the toilets at half time....wouldnt be too suprised if it was them yesterday.
I don't know much about these twats in general but anybody that proudly calls themselves John the Rat at what 30/40 years old seriously can't have a lot going on for themselves. I've said before about our fans being morons and I generally don't really like the majority of them and I was so tempted to move from the North Stand this season because of how much our fans used to frustrate me. I said before about the Jamaica flag incident I experienced and I wouldn't be surprised if these guys were behind it especially as I overheard one of the guys who gave me trouble about it call a mate called John over the phone in the que for the Swindon play-off tickets. Chanting the incest song yesterday at Bournemouth annoyed me as well as our fans have well and truely ruined what used to be an amusing song to sing to opposition. I can't wait for our fans to boo Mooney when he comes back to The Valley who despite his criticsm in one match his efforts nearly got Charlton into the play-off final at Wembley, our supporters really are embarassing sometimes.
Trouble is...your always going to expect a handful of swearing in the North so it is what you expected. I agree, even if you move to the West or the East your just going into a library. Even if your furthest away from the swearing you will still get one or two who act like twats near you. I think when you do go to football matches you will always hear swearing especially chants, so if you get easily offended by the swearing you might as well not go to a football match at all.
Tough call this one. Two kids near me, 9 and 11 I'd say, diamond studs in their ears and c this and f that while their dad tries to start the incest song and generally embarass himself. Don't want to ban swearing in the north but some of our lot think it's compulsory.

Yeah, report it to the steward and then watch in bemusement as they do absolutely nothing about it. Don't even call it in on the radio. Unless someone's throwing punches they're really not interested. For £6 an hour I don't think I would be either.
I just don't see why swearing is seen as clever and necessary to get your point across. . I find it the 'c' word very offensive and find it sad that so many people think it is acceptable. Those that use it why do you feel the need to do so?

took my 3 yr old girl to her first game yesterday in the NU and she loved it, yes there was some choice language (from me!), but she knows that it's only for inside the football ground, at the end of the day if you don't want your kids to hear any of it, then don't sit in the NU....I wouldn't want to change the passion that eminates from where I sit.
you simply cannot stop people from swearing at football !!

and the end of the day its just a word. its regarded as this terrible thing....but ultimately its a noise. sticks and stones.....
When I used to be taken as a nipper to the old Den my dad always used to say to me & my brother that we'll hear swearing and bad language and it's ok for us to join in the songs with bad language if we want to etc, but if he ever ever heard us repeat a swear word away from the football in front our mum then we'd get a smack!
Suffice to say we joined in with the "ooooooooowaaaaankeeeeeer" at the keeper etc but never once swore at or in front of my mum or family. Even now I still avoid swearing when at my parents or to my mum.
That situation tends to be applied to most kids who are taken football. If your kids are taught that generally it should be fine and the language they hear won't be a problem.
I used to do voluntary work and one day I took this lad with Downs Syndrome to Roker Park and he loved every minute of it, the singing, the shouting, the abuse, the swearing...
When he got home his mother asked him how got on and he blurted out 'That referee was a right c*nt, wasn't he, Bob...?'
His mother looked pretty horrified and never let him go again, not with me anyway...
Now I always have a good look round before I let loose the necessary profanities and expose my nefarious upbringing...
Some people need to really grow up, it's as simple as that really. How anyone can defend awful language is beyond me, it's pathetic and shows a lack of intelligence and/or respect for anyone else. The crowd just reflects society really: some nice people, some you can put up with and some who are morons and spoil it for everyone else.
On the other hand, how anyone can take their children into the North Upper environment is beyond me too. To me, that is even more irresponsible, it's your kid, not theirs. I would never take my daughter, or nephew in there for that reason. If I have to sit with the so-called stiffs in the West upper for the sake of my kids, then so be it, I do do it for that very reason. It's a decision you have to make as a parent or guardian, that's what parenting is about - doing the best for your child, making the RIGHT decisions.

I dont take it home though.
Swearing in the north upper doesnt bother me at all. Knobheads chanting "f**k off" at the manager after 25mins of the first game of the season does.
When he got home his mother asked him how got on and he blurted out 'That referee was a right c*nt, wasn't he, Bob...?'
