Sorry about that.satsuma27 said:I heard one moron, who looked like he'd had a few lines of coke to go with his beer, giving Jonny Jackson all the abuse under the sun. "Jackson you useless cunt, we've paid a lot of money for this shit, you useless cunt" were his exact words. JJ didn't set foot on the pitch ffs. Come armageddon, come armageddon come.

My contact with Real Madrid Vets (not the animal type) won't allow me to lower myself to take part in walking football....especially where there is a bell inside the ball.DaveMehmet said:

If we can get the numbers, I'd be right up for an away game where we all get on the pills on the coach and generally have a lovely time. It might even cheer up some of the angry young chaps who follow us these days.DaveMehmet said:
Pretty much, felt a bit ropey as we got back to Bexleyheath. I must have been going ballistic when we scored our winner, I remember a woman tapping her husband/partner and pointing at me and laughing.cabbles said:

I took one on the coach on the way to Newcastle for the 4 3 game, just as we stopped at Catterick for a beer. Had another half just as we got to the ground and left the other half for when we got back on after the game. Was a great day out all roundcabbles said:

Lucky you, last time I was in front of the flare lighters (Walsall away last year) the boys in blue decided to pull me out for it!Southendaddick said:Took my lad on Saturday and we were directly in front of the lad and his mates that got nicked for the flare.
Found it quite ironic that he is from Faversham bearing in mind the abuse he was giving the Gills fans for their travelling community heritage..
On a more serious point my lad knew he was going to be stood on his seat all game and shouldn't repeat the language he heard so no issues there but we haven't half got some slags following us for these local away games now.
Im all for getting a few beers in before the game as that creates the atmosphere but don't get the need to throw flares in daylight (cringey and very Palace), break seats for a 'laugh' and just generally act a prick.
Maybe im getting old, or just not a moron?
I believe over the past few years a new group of 'herberts' has attached themselves to the club, 50-60 of them. Predominantly at away games and Mick E is slowly eking them out.
I do take my daughters, all be it they are 14 & 17 now so not as if they haven't heard the words before, although the wife refuses to come anymore (not that she's a football fan anyway, normally misses the goals as reading her kindle
).
I agree with the OP, you go to football and you do expect to hear strong language, but it's language for the sake of it in the last few years and giving pelters to our own players often for little or no reason. For me it's not so much the words but the aggressive nature of it.
I can remember going season after season to almost every away game in the early 90's, plenty of language and loads of banter but never anywhere near as bad as the aggressive nature you hear it the last few years. Northampton last year springs to mind, hardly a local derby.
So essentially you're sort of coming down as you get back to London10 -
It's a tough call, I do empathise somewhat with the OP, however football has always been and always will be the working class mans game and as such the language has and always will be 'industrial'.
Personally I'm not at all offended by the C bomb, how can I be, it's just a word, I do understand that some people are. I'm more pissed off by Neanderthal supporters who give it large to older or disabled people when asked to sit down or move away, these turds are scum, no more, no less, and would melt if challenged.
Respect for your elders seems to have almost dissolved in some younger sectors of society, only some though, because the amount of 17-25 year olds that I meet are respectful, but it just takes one wrong un to give a false impression.
RE swearing and kids, I've been taking junior and his brothers to football since they were 4/5 years old, my rationale was that if they heard a swear word, and didn't know it was a swear word, then no harm done, however if they heard a swear word and knew it to be a swear word, then they have heard it elsewhere, maybe from their peers at school or wherever, and if that is the case then football is not to blame.9 -

In the circumstances "acceptable" self defence. It wasn't us starting it though, or provoking themCovered End said:
Err, the Chelsea fans that were in our end got a bit of a hiding.killerandflash said:
I was there for "Battle of the Bridge" but with all the madness and violence from the Chelsea fans, there was little coming from the Charlton fans.alan dugdale said:I haven't read the whole thread so I may be repeating something, maybe not - Swisdom, were you around in the 70s - 80s ? Behaviour in football grounds has improved beyond belief since those days. I would be more surprised if I went to a game and heard no swearing.

I can't wait for the days until we play Palace and Millwall again , at least that will bring out the sensible people in our support.2

I don't buy into this argument that dropping the c-bomb into common usage is not a problem nor offensive because it's just a 'word'. We wouldn't tolerate lots of things being said in everyday situations would we? No one would get a job if they dropped it an interview situation nor would it be appropriate to use when meeting you partners family for the first time for sure. Would it..?
We would not tolerate someone calling one of our players a paedo would we? That's just a word too...but it's highly offensive because of the intent behind it and what it represents.
Then again I have the sensibilities of an aging spinster according to some posters on this site...4 -
It was ecstasy, not cocaine!CAFCTrev said:Why does every thread on CL always end up including cocaine and Annie Lennox???
There is a difference:
Ecstasy - when I was young, had long hair and was skint
Cocaine - Now, I am older, bald and more stressed!!4 - Sponsored links:

Agreed! I'd swear at them (''WTF was that insertnamehere?!'' etc) but calling them a c*** or anything else strong is a bit too far. If they're wearing red and blue stripy pjs though...ValleyGary said:Proper weird calling any of our players c***s.

I stopped taking my kids to away games after a Reading match a couple of seasons ago and don't even bother going away myself now. Too many 'football factory watching' knuckle dragging types follow our club to away games. I was spending more time keeping an eye on those types kicking off around me than watching the games. Funniest thing is that they would even know how to spell hard.agim said:What I can't stand is the stone Island wearing 50 year old, with gear dribbling out of his nose thinking he's the hardest bloke in the world because he can shout big boys words. Add to this the newly turned 18 year old who had a fight in zens the night before and now thinks he can take on the world, set off a smoke bomb and abuse everyone within 5 mile radius. This is not cool and quite frankly embarrassing at times but each to their own.

Has anyone ever talked to the club about this? I wonder if they are allowed to sell away tickets in
Was that Reading game in the Bob Peters era? I think we won 1-0StewieGriffinSE7 said:

It all depends on the emphasis placed on the the T
If the T was not overly pronounced at the end of the sentence then it was a term of endearment
However if it was you c..T !!! Then they were angry
But let's not call our own fans scum4 -
When we lose to Gillingham they are all C##tTs all of them every single one of them
doesn't mean that by 1710 and the blood has stopped pumping around the veins they still are c##nts
but yep at full time they are all c##nts to a man and KM to a woman
See how easy it is to use it three times and only in one sentence did I mean it in an angry way the rest of the time it's endearing

I think I know what your getting at NLA.
Bit like when people say "he is one funny c**t"0 -
Yep that's it ,we should embrace the word it's part of our STH London heritage2

Not a word I use, but often wondered why this particular word is deemed so offensive compared to all the other slang words for a vigina.0
