Don't want to turn this into another in the litany of threads coating off our own fans, but I feel it's probably correct to point out that it isn't just a small group of away fans. It's just more noticeable because they make up a higher percentage of those travelling to away fixtures - but the same bunch of tosspots go to home fixtures as well. Cue posts from the usual suspects laughably suggesting that 'if you don't like it, do something about it'.
Did you even go to the game?
No. Did you?
What does that matter anyway? FWIW, my father-in-law, sister-in-law and two good friends did, and said they were disgusted by the abuse from some (albeit a small minority) morons. Some people on here who have said they didn't hear it might well be suffering from the same selective deafness that seemed to strike a few people when the Lisbie song was being sung last season. Just because I wasn't in attendance, doesn't mean I can't be disgusted at the way some of the troglodytes who follow us treat a fellow human being.
All of the 92 clubs have been sent rainbow laces for their players to wear in their boots if they wish this weekend, will be interesting to see how many from both sides chose to at the derby on Saturday;
IMO all this promoting of homosexuality and Gay marriage is getting very tiresome. Why no promoting of Heterosexuality and traditional marriage between a man and a woman? We are heading towards a new generation that were created in a test tube and raised without a mother or father figure. I have nothing against gay people at all and condemn homophobic behaviour, but why do people have to come out and state their sexual preferences, isn't it supposed to be a very private matter?

I don't think anyone's "promoting homosexuality" and don't worry I don't think "traditional" forms of marriage or methods of reproduction are about to die out.

Whilst agreeing with you on the heterosexual marriage front (I believe the lack of the church in today's society is a cause - and I don't really believe in god), what if a player wants to be open about his life but fearful of being abused or vilified?
Rainbow laces? Whatever next? Proves nothing if the worlds biggest homophobe wears bright rainbow laces - some players would probably laugh about it in an ironic sort of way and have a reverse effect. If it was deemed to be a success, I hate to think what the next idea will be. Anyway, a lot of players are already wearing pink or lilac coloured boots.

Well I've spent most of my life being fearful of being abused and vilified before coming out and admitting that I supported CAFC. I guess it's a choice people make, keep quiet, or be open and risk copping some abuse.
I don't think homosexuals should be unduly abused.
You do think that they should be duly abused?
If they, you, me or anyone else does something to merit abuse then we deserve it.
As you well know really that's what "duly" means!
I might be old fashioned but in many ways I feel that singling out groups like "ethnics," "homosexuals" etc is discriminatory in itself and self-defeating.
We are all people at football what does it matter what colour or where one prefers to place one's naughty bits when being intimate?
Totally irrelevant to whether or not Wilson should play ahead of Solly when fit etc,etc.
I dont think they would have come up with this initiative if football provided a level playing field for all sexualities. Players dont get berated from the stands for being in a hetrosexual marriage.
Hes got two kids Hes got two kiiiiiddds The guy on their team Is married with kids.
Its a good initiative that does no harm to anyone and at the very least will get people talking about the issues which I guess is the whole point.

This is the point that I've try to make before (badly). Cheers Len

Let's hope we get to see these on Saturday from both teams.
Equally I don't think their organisation should attempt to coerce footballers (or anyone else) into overtly supporting their cause.
What happened to discretion and individual choice in a free society?
*Cue shouts of homophobe from the usual suspects who choose to not understand or misrepresent the point*

Somehow i can't see any gay footballers rushing to 'come out' just because a few fellow pros wear rainbow laces
