It's possible he wouldn't hear the actual words used as he was banging his drum

Might be worth mentioning that to the club.

If only I couldn't hear him making that racket.

Ive seen the word vicious a few times about the chanting. Was it worse than the usual childish shit people sing when they're playing Brighton?

Probably not, but everything is about quashing that sort of thing isn't it...

Which is good. Just wondering on the choice of words to describe it.

I do see your point. Vicious suggests it was both pointed at a specific someone and genuinely personal. I hate the word banter but there is a level of piss-taking that should be tolerated when one crowd meets another.
I'm sure most Leicester fans don't get offended by our crowds being called "bin-divers"in reference to the foxes nickname.

But we do get sort of offended by 'just a town full of pakis' don't we?

You can't think these two things are the same?

I absolutely don't see my suggestion and the racist/homophobic stuff as the same. The point I was trying to make is that there are lines that shouldn't be crossed, but none of us are hoping for utter silence or purely joyous "Aren't our opponents wonderful" type songs.

 

[SJN-Fox]

The "your support is ****ing shit" type of chanting is fine and is perfectly normal at a game, anything faintly racist or homophobic is totally unacceptable and has no place in any kind of chanting regardless of which clubs are playing and I would include the "gypo" and "where's your caravan" type of chants as well.

Is the classic Brighton chant of 'Does your boyfriend know you are here?' necessarily homophobic?

Does it not just acknowledge a well known gay community in Brighton? Same if we sang about pasties to Plymouth Argyle fans. It does not suggest it is a bad thing?

Indeed

And the 'Town full of Pakis' song is merely a positive recognition of the large asian community in our multi-cultural city

Some might regard the word 'Pakis' as derogatory.

Whoosh?

Wow. Just wow.

I find the Pasty reference offensive. Pasties are from Cornwall not fkn Devon.

Very good.

I support the Brighton fans owning the argument and shoving it back down the knuckle-heads throats.

So, for example, their response to one chant on Saturday was 'you're too ugly to be gay'. Excellent work. Just as City fans rising as a group to chant proudly, 'town full of paki's' was superb.

Using the law doesn't really achieve a lot in this instance. It just entrenches existing prejudices. Ritual humiliation is the way forward.

How about chanting that Derby is full of sheep shaggers and Nottingham Forest are a bunch of c*nts?
