Off Topic Yid Army ours to keep?

Martin Samuel has written this piece following Chelskis supporters using Yid in a player chant.
He is suggesting that it might be time to cast aside our Yid Army persona.

Thoughts fellow yiddos?

 

Martin Samuel also said that West Scam should have left Upton Park for the White Elephant because playing at Upton Park was clearly not helping the team as they kept losing games there.

The fact this column was replicated in full on the Scammers' website underlines just how wrong he was on that one.

 

Classic victim blaming.
"Why do you keep defending your Jewish supporters from ****s like us hurling slurs at them?"
"You know that upsets us and causes us to do it in the first place, somehow."

A West Ham fan working for the Daily Mail talking about the issue is a joke in itself.
That he can't understand the difference between something being used as a form of camaraderie and an insult is extremely telling.
That he had to lie about the police ruling on it give him away completely.
They didn't say that using the word Yid is fine, but that it was fine in the context that we use it in.
Chelsea and West Ham fans singing about Hitler, gassing Jews and foreskins? Not so much.

Fat, ugly, stupid moron. Stop defending the ****s at your club and things might change.
We only get this crap from two clubs now, in the vast majority of cases. I wonder why?

 

Didn't bother reading the hack article, as no doubt the usual b*llocks.

My opinion right now is that we shouldn't sing the usual
songs UNSOLICITED. However at the very moment we hear
opposition supporters ( *** ) singing any anti-semitic or
Nazi atrocity chants, then we reserve the right to unleash
the full catalogue (and loud) .


*** Only going to be two clubs really (as PNP stated)

 

No surprise that it is now getting column inches.
My quote from Sunday:

↑
Chelsea fans have been accused of singing anti-semitic chants at their game today against their feeder club.


Actually the chants were aimed at us.
I get the feeling this will all blow up and be blamed on us and this time we will be banned from calling ourselves YIDS.
However, well done on them coming out and condemning it and also to Morata who asked for the song not to be sung.
TBH , on this occasion , we can't blame their fans for an anti-semtic song-it is clearly aimed at us Spurs supporters. I didn't know they had it in them to realize they could rhyme Madrid with Yid.
But as I said, I think some fans will continue and we'll feel the backlash.

For those unaware of what this is about:

It's a toughie. One of my mates, who is Jewish, absolutely hates it. He's a fair bit younger than me and the name was already well established when he got into football. He just thinks that it's inappropriate.

Those of my age who recall when and how its usage came about are much more accepting/supportive. That's across Jews and non-Jews alike. Pretty much everyone of my friends of my generation thought the adoption of the epiphet was THE right thing to do in the face of rampant racism in the 70's.

I agree with RDBD that when there's no provocation, the validity is gone. Unfortunately, there are enough idiots supporting other clubs for its usage to see my life out. Chelsea and West Ham (and others) pay lip-service to stopping it. They have no such intention.

 

This is how clan Baddiel et al will spin it ...

1. Sing the songs

You're encouraging them to chant anti-semitic stuff.


2. They chant anti-semitic stuff, you sing the songs in response

They are chanting to provoke you to sing your songs.

 

If our chanting was anything to do with it, then Chelsea fans wouldn't keep getting caught doing other bigoted ****.
I suppose it's our fault that they stopped that guy getting on the train in Paris, because we've got some black players?

They're racist, they're racist, they're racist and that's the way they like it, as the song (sort of) goes.

 

I'm not sure that Baddiel has ever acknowledged or addressed the issue of his club's moronic supporters chanting anti-Semitic songs when they're playing clubs other than Spurs. He's a ****ing idiot on top of being unfunny..........Rob Newman and Frank Skinner carried the bloke.

 

Just test the hypothesis.
Don't sing the songs when the opposition is Chelsky.
Wait for the inevitable to happen, but resist singing.

Then afterwards, go after Baddiel in public and
call him for the gutless apologist c**t he really is.
