Sensible answers only pls. Not being a prude but it's not realistic to expect to go to the footy and not hear bad language, even in the family area. The guy is clearly an inconsiderate dick though so maybe talk to a steward / the club and get him re-located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is clearly an inconsiderate dick though so maybe talk to a steward / the club and get him re-located? I disagree. Surely that's the whole point of the family area. A section of the ground where you should reasonably expect to only hear language that most people would consider acceptable in front of young children. Of course it all depends on how you define "bad language" but if I was in that area I wouldn't expect those around me and my family to shout out some of the stronger words you might hear in the more boisterous areas of the ground.

Duracell Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Flip the question round. If you enjoy releasing energy and swearing in a 30,000 seater stadium, why would you choose to sit in the family stand?

So when there's 20,500 singing 'f*** the EFL', casting doubt on the ref's heritage, or chanting about Nate's wang, how does being in the family area prevent kids hearing stuff you'd rather they didn't? That was the point I was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 If kids can watch the overgrown brats on the pitch with their gobbling off at the officials and their cheating, a bit of swearing should be the least of your problems.

That was the point I was making. I’ve mentioned this before and, whilst I know it makes no sense, it feels as is there is a subtle difference between a crowd of people at the other end of stadium singing a song and an individual sitting near by shouting out some obscenity. I agree, if you takes kids to a football match you can’t prevent them hearing such songs but you should reasonably expect those sitting in the family area showing a little more restraint. tinman, RoyMac5 and Skin em Ted 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t hear what the players are saying to the ref though can they? And watching a player cheat on the pitch doesn’t really compare with someone sitting near by shouting out some of the stronger swear words we hear. I don’t have a problem with my grandson seeing Grealish go down like he’s been shot but, I would feel a little uneasy if the person sitting next to him started shouting out one of the strongest examples of industrial language.

Maybe you will but, my point, and I think the original posters point, is that it shouldn’t happen in the family area and any transgressors should be told to cease.

It is completely the opposite for me. Dishonesty is worse than swearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - and whilst other comments to the contrary are fair... I think what we are really talking about (and where we can perhaps agree) is not the colourful chants or a justifiable 'FFS' cry of despair from time to time - but the grown man who thinks its ok to venomously froth at the mouth and chops off all match in front of 5-6 year olds in the family area. Personally I find that behaviour in the designated kids zone to be blisteringly ignorant, embarrassing and a wee bit pathetic. I'm planning on taking my youngest to her first match very soon, I'd hope sitting in the family corner is somewhere I can guarantee she can avoid those gobby types and not be put off by them.
