Tamworthram Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Is any one brave enough to confess that they joined in the offensive song about Jimmy Saville after just 2 minutes? I was embarrassed and mightily releaved it didn't happen again. Some might say it was just banter but, in my opinion, went too far similar to a certain song following Doughty's death.

TroyDyer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I think if you rape kids and shag dead bodies, you are probably fair game for a chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 No comparison between the Jimmy Saville one of your own chant, and the ND one which is disgusting, imo. I'll admit I laughed at the Leeds fans response too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_chop Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Never heard that one lol. Any chance of the lyrics and what tune it's sung along to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Were you offended when they sang to Tom Ince and did you like the reply I started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Just be thankful the Turks carrying knives tune wasn't heard. They take the saville chant in good humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 You could probably be subject to legal action admitting you joined in. If Leeds decide to get mardy about it. Unlikely but there you go. Has happened before. Its one of those songs that I at first found funny but when you think about it a bit more it's ridiculous. Like someone said to me, if we're going to sing that, you could have no problem if they started singing about Mick Philpott (although not topical now I suppose). Would be hypocritical. Bit like "we can see you holding hands" at Brighton. When you give it some thought, it's not funny and taking aside how offensive it is, it's just stupid above all else. Then some of the more homophobia chants, for example singing about what Joey Barton's brother might be experiencing in prison just made us look stupid when the game was a designated "Football vs Homophobia" game... Tell you what, I've sang some of them, and then come to the conclusion that they're awful later. I think people just don't think about what they're singing. When they give enough thought the subject they're mocking, they'll probably realise it's not even funny even if you've got no moral conscience at all.

David Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 If you can give the Jimmy Saville chant can you take the Philpott chant? Both vile men who have committed crimes that shouldn't be involved in any kind of "banter" in football grounds. Give me a We are Derby, Super Derby over any of that rubbish any day.

dcfcfan1 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Its all a bit of banter tbh I dont take life seriously, but thats just me. Its just a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Some people are just weird. Heard that God awful 'you're effin ****' song sung by the Derby fans too. Generic vulgar taunting. We should be above all that. Disappointed. Football isn't a competition to see which set of fans can be most like cretinous Frankie Boyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 When you join in with this 'banter' then I hold the belief that you genuinely hold the opinion that singing about a child sex abuser even in jest, is morally and socially acceptable. When in fact it's not. IMO. I dare say that if any of you were meeting new people, in a new job for example. You probably wouldn't go around making jokes about Jimmy Saville or Madelaine McCann (Boyle) because most of the other people, if not all, are likely to find you a bit odd and distance themselves from you. There is a reason for this. Just my opinion. People sing and say what they see fit to as is their free choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweman2 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 it makes us sound like we are of such little intelligence and so far down the social scale its almost at amoebic level ! if you take part in it then you are obviously blissfully unaware so sing on !

WystonRam Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The atmosphere was strangely underwhelming yesterday I thought, Leeds, by their standard were quiet and it took a long time to get any sort of atmosphere going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
