Perhaps we should ban all chanting because nearly all of it contains swearing and things you won’t like ?
Not sure where I mentioned not liking swearing. For clarity, can you let me know what types of discrimination you are happy with and will happily join in with please.

Woody, discrimination isn’t acceptable, but a bit of light hearted terrace banter is a relief from having political correctness rammed down your throat.

Hear, hear! There is a family stand. I'm sick to death of "families" taking precedent. I don't go swearing in playgrounds (not since I was arrested anyway) but kids now bring their plastic slides into pubs! "I have kids you know," so fu cking what? So do many people, its not difficult. Go play in the park, not sit in a pub then, isn't that why you had them, for "family moments?" I don't mean you woody, just generalising. Don't joke about religion, colour, sex, p oofs, lezzers, men with a clitoris (wish I had one) don't smoke, don't fu cking move. There is almost nowhere left for adults to speak freely and be relaxed without someone being offended. Part of many reasons why I left the UK and banned kids from my hotel.

I'd recommend reading 'The Madness of Crowds'. OK, it's written by a Tory but is pretty interesting and thought provoking. We've got to meet in the middle somewhere.
Nothing to do with kids being present but I think we can draw the line well before 'jokingly' requesting a female referee to disrobe in 2021.

They are developing x-ray specs (not reforming the band) which is much more sinister than Sid James ever was.

Personally I find it a bit odd if people find comments about tits, norks, etc etc etc offensive on a football forum, even in 2021.
If people are generally concerned regarding female exploitation, I hope they don't subscribe to Only Fans or have never consumed any porn whatsoever. It goes way deeper than that of course, media, cosmetics, fashion and for anyone who considers me inconsiderate or offensive towards women, I may remind them that I'm probably surrounded by more diversity than they will ever encounter in their lifetime.
May I remind those offended, not you Tone!

I remember as a kid going to the games with my dad and the excitement / buzz I felt joining in with the swearing in the songs to see what I could get away with and trying to look out the corner of my eye to see if he had noticed (of course he had) and if I was going to get told off (he laughed). I fully expect the same with my daughter. I'm not taking her in the family stand because I find it boring and full of kids! Joking / banter is fine but with everything there is a point. A stand singing sexists (as suggested by Manwork), racist, homophobic songs isn't acceptable.

Who mentioned PC? Its about where and what language is appropriate, surely? This is why we have age ratings. I'm sorry some posters are clearly under 16 years of age. Sorry, Shirley.

Pity this isn't the right forum (and certainly thread) to have these exchanges. Don't necessarily agree with this Fred. The issue (IMO) is that the world has changed SO much in a really short period of time. People are afraid to enter reasonable debate for the fear of the 'cancel culture' or being vilified. It is not enough anymore to not be racist, you have to be anti-racist. The same across the board with anyone of a number of topics. Of course there are still racists, bigots etc on one side of the 'discussion'. I'm sure most of you haven't been unfortunate enough to witness 'Married at First Sight' but there's been women on there treating men like absolute cr*p, from plain bullying to tearing them down on their looks. If it was the other way around it would have created carnage. That's the main issue for me, that by trying to correct previous 'wrongs' that things go way too far the other way. Anyway, I'm going 2 v 1

Totally agree woody. Same for me standing in the Hotel End from 1980 onwards. probably the reasons why I am why I am! The songs are definitely more 2021 now though, Have a top day out Sat.

(where's the thumbs up emoji?) I'm going 1-0. I'll think he'll go back to a defensive approach and still struggle with where the goals will come from.

Fair amount of pretentious comment on here. Thought this was a football thread not a haven for distraught personalities

Best thing that could happen tomorrow is no controversy from the referee at all, whilst officiating well, to the point that they would be viewed as one of the better ones in a poor bunch.

Anyway back to the footy I’m going for a ………1-1 draw, think their manager will have a point to prove after the speculation linking him with us.
