I'll tell you something else, if I can get away with it, I'm not going to stop either, although because of moaning taig bastards it is getting a bit trickier!
As opposed to glorifying the murder of "Fenians" in song. I know which one I find more reprehensible. One mans terrorist and all that
If you cut out the politics and religion and just started singing about disasters, club scandals, personal tragedies for the players and dead or sick players, managers, chairmen and celeboity supoorters nobody would bat an eyelid. It works for us down here .......................
To be fair there are plenty of sick and offensive songs down here, just as bad as the sectarian ones if not worse. eg "Who's that dying on the runway" "Always look out for Turks carrying knives" "Who's that standing at Hillsborough"
I shouldn't laugh but my Arsenal supporting mate said their one to Adebayor when he played agains them after the African nations cup was "he used to like bus trips - but not anymore"..............
Them songs come from a minority down here, up there they all sing it cos they are a bunch of ****s! Im a Leeds fan so didn't appreciate ur comment, but I caught a young teen singing the munich song at old trafford January 3rd 2010 n I kicked his head in
The reference wasn't meant to offend you, just like the Hillsborough and Munich ones weren't supposed to offend LFC or Man Utd fans. They were just an example of how football is filled with hate everywhere, not just on the west coast of Scotland
It shouldnt be like that, It should be like rugby league, I went to the grand final with the missus I had my leeds rhinos shirt on, she had her st Helens shirt on her cousin was wearing his Bradford shirt and her father was wearing his Wigan shirt. Can you imagine that in Football?
That would be nice in football, but it'll never happen. The rivalries are too deep-seated now, there have been far too many years of hatred. But it's good to see a Leeds fan who doesn't automatically dislike me just because I'm a Manc
It would be **** in football, it should be an "us and them" mentality, that's what made Britain great and how we won the wars. **** 'em.
I like a bit of banter, and I sing most anti-Liverpool, City Leeds and even London club songs, but it should never spill over into violence. Anybody who's willing to risk serious injury/imprisonment for a football team needs their head looking at.
I do agree . I hate going to rugby where everyone's sat together and pretending to be ncie when secretly, deep down they just want to make rude remarks about each others teams and towns / cities. It's human nature. It does go to far at football sometimes but I still find there's something really exhilarating about being with 2,000 or so of your fellow fans in an away end with 30 or 40 odd thousand fans all around you wanting to thrash your team and a fair few hating your guts just because of who you support. You can't beat it.
