Ram-Alf Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 No! and that's from a supporter who's use of the Anglo Saxon language has curtailed at the games in recent years ? SKRam and Hector was the best 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 No, we are all responsible for the future conduct of our youth. Swearing is often a release of tension but should be reserved for adult areas. SKRam, RedSox, jimtastic56 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood P Dowd Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) No, but the word has now become commonplace and is often used as puctuation. Edited February 19, 2023 by Elwood P Dowd jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Weird one, you want to say no as you are surrounded by kids, yet 100 yards away you have a few thousand belting out songs with all kinds of fruity language. If you want to protect kids ears from words you would rather they didn’t repeat, a football ground isn’t really the place to go I’m afraid. Saying that, the fan in question should really know better and purchase a ticket in a more suitable stand so it’s not directly into the ear of a minor. 48 hours, jimtastic56, Andicis and 7 others 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Approach him and ask him nicely to keep the language clean as there are lots of kids around. If he doesn't, tell him to eff off somewhere else the cnut. Jourdan, Asanovic70, richgee1976 and 28 others 1 1 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 You don’t realise how bad the language is until you take a child to the ground. All you can do is tell the child to ignore the rude words. You won’t get it stopped so don’t get over anxious about it. Or if you can’t ignore it, keep away, kids understand it’s wrong if you explain it to them. They’ll hear the same language in the playground at school at some time and you won’t be there to sort that out.

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 The family area is called that fir a reason. Yes some of the songs are a bit ripe but standing and shouting f****** have em us not right. If you want to do that you can sit in another area.

But it's not really the right thing to do, to ignore that the Family Area isn't the place for adults to be rude idiots. So add in telling the child that the person doing the inconsiderate swearing shouldn't be behaving like that as it's not appropriate.

Ewe Ram Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The point of the family area is that you respect the families who sit there, in my opinion. The one at fault is the person shouting and should not be surprised to be asked to calm the language down. In the stadium as a whole, I explained to my kids when they were little about the places and people who do not want to hear it, as you just know they use that language with their mates.

AndyinLiverpool Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Swearing is fine. It's not a gateway to anti-social behaviour and the kids aren't going to learn anything bad from being in the presence of swearing. Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Which bit is actually the family area? Not entirely sure now. We are in the north stand lower about halfway between the corner and goal, with goal to our right. Is that the family area? I do occasionally let rip with a little Anglo Saxon ( I did yesterday at their number 6). It’s not something that I do constantly through the game though and most games I don’t, although there are a few around us that do. The north stand (especially the lower) has always been pretty relaxed and easy going both in the seats and in the concourse, and the people tend to be either older folk or multi generational families like ours, not so many groups of “boisterous” lads. I guess that there is more being in or the near the family area than the fruity language rule? For myself I do try and restrain myself, but like I said occasionally I do slip. I have taken my lad since he was 4 (he is now 14). It has had no negative effect on his language, I told him from an early age that he was not to use the words he heard, and he doesn’t, he plays on a Sunday, and his mates certainly do, but he doesn’t (other than what I would describe as Ronald Weasley swear words ?) I agree with David’s comment that if you don’t want young kids exposed to such language at all, then a football stadium isn’t the best place to be, however you can’t protect them forever… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are translations… “if you don’t JUMP and bounce” “Your supporters come in ships” etc, etc… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
