Isn't what the point? Are you saying a Newcastle supporting steward, with a totally different standard, and philosophy, should be able to impose a stadium ban on a perfectly decent Sunderland supporter, of 60 years, because their terminology doesn't collude with their own? Which words do you believe are acceptable in a football ground and which aren't?
Sandwiched between namby-pamby soft as pap and people being actual dick heads, which I've experienced on more than a few occasions at the football over the years. Would be nice if we could inject decorum and a more stoic form of manliness into the grounds rather than what is seemingly becoming the binary of coked up roiders versus being reported to stewards for breaching the 1984 rules set forth by our leaders.
The vast majority of people are pretty decent in my experience ... ... receiving an unjust ban, for saying a naughty word, would sicken me tbh.
Depends if it was a one match ban or longer ... ... which word would you say deserved a stadium ban? Is 'balls' bad enough or would 'balls' be OK?
Just to put a light hearted angle on this- years ago I was going to to a match at the SoL with 2 of my lads. They must have been about 10 and 7 years old. They both had their Sunderland shirts on. The younger one said to his brother- “ I love going to the match”, and I was chuffed to bits and I thought what more can a Dad want to hear. Then in the next breath he said “ all that swearing”
