Guest firetotheworks Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My response was that it would be hard but that I'd try. I wasn't going to defend swearing if it offends someone, but then again, you wouldn't hang around a butchers if you were vegetarian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your vocabulary is so lacking that you absolutely must swear then I would suggest evening classes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He's got a point to be honest. I don't think anyone objects to some swearing, but if someone was swearing constantly during a match (not suggesting this is what KI was doing - we don't know the context), I'd think they were behaving pretty unreasonably.

I've been to plenty of matches and when it's just lads around me i'll let rip with the best of them. If there's people likely to be offended then i'm capable of moderating my language, common decency. Why do the norms and conventions of society go out of the window all of a sudden just because you've decided to attend a sporting event? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Football match, you should expect swearing end of. Almost like those people who drive along strawberry place before and after the match, they have a face like an arse cos they are stuck in the crowd.

Cronky Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 West Brom are a very good side which their results so far prove and we struggled against their pressing,passing and movement in the second half. Just watched the 60 minute highlights, and I think this is a good point. It didn't look to me like it was just a matter of us playing badly. They're a good side whose position in the league isn't a false one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should just tolerate it because it's a football match. MASSIVE difference between someone shouting racist abuse or being violent, compared to someone standing up and shouting "close him the FUCK down" MASSIVE, If you want to sit in a crowd with no personality, you may as well watch it at home mate, with the lights off by yourself.

That's fair enough, i'm not saying don't swear, I swear all the time but be aware of the people around you. If there's an old girl sitting nearby (as KI said) then moderate yourself.

mattypnufc Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Are people really discussing swearing not being part of going to a match? it's traditionally a working class sport. If you don't like it, don't go. Or if you're bothered about it, don't sit in an area that is predominantly populated by adults. Fuck me, you'd hate to hear me on a match day.

Guest Wally_McFool Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just watch the highlights again from MOTD last night and in the after match interview Partridge is banging on about the players being tired because of the Bruges game. I might have believed him if he had picked most of 'em for that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Taylor Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Had the worst person in the world sat behind me yesterday. Constantly making wrong points in his horrible drony voice, bags of shopping and his 900 year old mother for company. Kept saying oops after every tackle too. I should be allowed to punch these people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I don't think anyone is saying swearing should not be allowed, so it might be easier to realise that before people start banging on about protecting their right to swear, whilst trotting out all the old cliches about it being a man's game, traditionally working class, don't come if it offends etc etc. Yawn. All that is being suggested is that: a) being at a football match doesn't necessarily give you free reign to swear as much as you like and say whatever you like; and b) having a little bit of consideration to those around you may not go amiss. Please note - no-one is banning you from getting your fix of swearwords in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 People who complain about swearing at the match are usually the fuckwits who leave on 80 minutes to avoid the traffic. In short, they're complete fucking blits. If you're in the family section fair enough, telling the referee you're going to shit on his lass after a bad decision is probably out of order but anywhere else in the ground you should expect to hear swearing.
