Went to Crawley v Carlisle today (2-5) Crawley look like they are going down, 4-0 down after 38 minutes, it honestly could've been double figures had Carlisle not taken their foot of the gas.
MY QUESTION HERE IS: are the terms D1rty N0rtherner/S0uthern S0ftie just acceptable football banter or offensive? Couldn't believe a steward asking a fan to refrain from "D1rty N0rtherner" as his wife is from up Norff. So when does banter become offensive? A N0rtherner (or S0utherner) are not to my best knowledge protected terms etc. Seemed rather OTT to me.
