They especially know more than the people who turn up now and again dont want to be offended by any bad language and would rather sit in silence, buy halfscarves and use clapping sticks or god forbid “hold a can I have your shirt please placard” Think you are being a bit rude in some of your remarks here, my dad is 95 ,cant attend now, but he was never a singer when he went, but he loved football. Was he less of a fan than the ones who sing vile songs at opposing players. Nishfan, Dai Capp and atherstoneram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read it properly my reply was to a post saying people who do sing those songs etc etc know nothing about football and are not a fan, which is not a correct assumption.

It all came in the seventies. If you watch old films the atmosphere was brilliant, rattles and everything, so really you dont need foul and abusive songs and chants at matches. My husband said that (I didn't get to games that early). Nearly all males, but there was none of this abuse, just getting behind your team. And I do go to games home and away, just don't see why I should have to put up with the abusive stuff. atherstoneram, Simmo’s left foot, Kathcairns and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just being friendly so I reached down to scratch it’s head only to be given a right telling off by the accompanying bolshy policewoman. Perhaps if she’d explained it was a sniffer dog and asked if I minded being searched I might have reacted more favourably…. That's part and parcel of security at football matches, normally sniffers are not trained to be aggressive, that is of course unless you show aggression towards the handler. The dog was just checking which clan you were from..... ? On 25/07/2022 at 22:40, uttoxram75 said: Security, stewards and Police know the games which have higher risk of pyros, they take a decision not to search. Its all too much hassle to actually do summat nowadays. Thats why they make new laws, instead of enforcing current ones, to make them look like they're doing summat. Notts police have known for years that the residents of that stand above the away end will throw things at the fans below them but someone, I presume the match day commander, has taken the decision to allow it. New rules or laws won't stop it, throwing people out and arresting them will. Its the reason I do not go to Forest away, odur urine is not my favourite aftershave.........

But you are assuming people who go occassionally, dont like swearing buy half and half scarves are not real fans and know nothing about football, how do you come to that conclusion. atherstoneram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am and I believe the assumption (apart from the don’t like swearing bit) is fairly accurate that those who attend games infrequent/turn up for the big games only don’t understand the culture of the game as much of those who turn up week in week out. Moreover anyone buying a half scarf shouldn’t not be allowed anywhere near a football ground imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably you were not one of the fans then, who seemed to get upset by Leicester fans singing songs with factually incorrect lyrics. That's even if they understood what was being sung! I mean , who would get upset over such a thing? I've never actually gone home in an ambulance, but it didn't bother me. I was quite pleased about it.

So of course they are going to make the most of the matches they can go to. Dont think you should class people as being real fans on wether they go to matches or not, thats all im trying to say.

No wait, can't possibly be that it sounds way too 'woke' Oh wait I know this one, it’s having an ideology forced on people even if they don’t agree with it, even it doesn’t make sense or even of it isn’t even scientifically correct. But you must comply otherwise we will say you are not nice to people and we will cancel you. No wait it can’t possibly be that, that’s just not nice. Not for this tread I guess. So back to the point I really hope that the atmosphere we built up last season continues into this season and isn’t quietened or softened because a small small minority maybe get upset by some naughty words in songs.
