    Fair post, a few points:

    I agree on the strange acoustics of the ground, mentioned it yesterday how it's weird different parts heard it but fans inbetween (such as yourself & Jaidi) didn't hear it.

    The song itself, up until a couple of years ago, I must admit, always thought refferred to Heysel more than anything.

    No doubt what they thought though, don't think I've seen supporters so angry (hurt even) at a song. The fact the 'Justice, for the 96' song was sung immediately afterwards also tells you what they thought.

    As for your last paragraph, I'm not expecting 'outrage'. In fact, I'm not expecting anything. Just saying I'm suprised that's all, not sure how relevant hearing it yourself is as it clearly was sung, alluded to by 3 different posters in different parts of the ground.

    Plenty of people on here have slated both Liverpool & United fans for these songs in the past without actually 'hearing' them.

    Sorry Vin, like I say, I think that's irrelevant really. Kind of strikes me as a "I didn't hear it so it didn't happen" sweep sweep mindset.

    On the other hand, not giving it attention might make people think it's okay?

    Either way, I hope none of the twats in question are going to Anfield, as if people sing it up there, I can see serious post match problems.

    I don't think anyone that didn't hear it is thinking, "I didn't hear it so it didn't happen" with a "sweep, sweep mindset" as you so delightfully put it. I find that a little unnecessary. You want everyone to express their disgust? It does disgust me that people would sing about something like that. It shouldn't happen. There.

    Not sure that you needed to keep on and on about it though. Seems you are on a crusade.

    The singing of "shoot the Pompey scum" and the booing of Lovren in a cup semi-final made me cringe.

    Reading back I regret adding the 'sweep sweep'... you're right it was unnecessary and I apologise for that.

    I don't WANT people to to do anything. I just said I was suprised that not many had. There's a difference. Just seems we're quick to (rightly) condemn other fans for unsavoury incidents so expected there to be a few comments.

    Not on a crusade at all... yesterday morning I said my bit and said I didn't want to go on about it. After that I only responded to people who quoted me.

    Yes, I mentioned it again this morning as some others have and because I am disappointed still. It left a real sour note on a night which should have been one of the best nights in my supporting of Saints.

    I'm done with it now anyway, but if people quote me on it, then I'm going to respond mate <ok>

    I tried placing a bet with Tom as we walked up Brittainia road that 'shoot the Pompey scum' would be sang before the 2nd minute. His response was "I'm not taking that!!" <laugh>

    As it happened it was before ko anyway!

    I've condemned our fans for lots of things, all of which I've heard (and often responded to) directly. I dislike our fans* with an intensity that could melt steel.

    If I were to condemn everything that was reported on here I'd be too busy to make well-crafted, startlingly coherent, witty, erudite posts on all the other subjects on which I choose to pontificate. The world would be a poorer place for it, frankly.

    Tbh mate, it sounds like not many of us heard it. It's still shameful of course, but it can't have been that many people, didn't hear a peep from where I sit. Heard the Lovren boos loud and clear though. They're not funny anymore - well, "I wanna knowowowo..." raised half a chuckle from me.

    I'm going to leave it now anyway mate. Maybe it wasn't as many as I thought but it seemes like a few hundred at least to me.

    Like I say though, case closed for me now unless someone addresses me directly on it <ok>

    I don't know where this notion has come from.You were clearly the better side and deserved to win by more than 1. You were much the better side and every 'Pool supporter I know says the same <ok>

    Tee shirt weather in Stockton. Light dusting of snow overnight but daffodils still trying to be up by weekend.
