Foul language from BHA fans.

[larus]

I was in the main away section with some friends and our kids. My boy is 9, one other is 10 and another 6.

There was a woman (looked like a real slapper) sat near me with 3 other guys and she was shouting obscenities all match long, i.e. c***, w***er, f***, etc, etc.

When we moved a few seats along because of our kids, she even seemed proud. Comments such as 'Where have those kids gone that were in front of you?. Oh, looks like they didn't like my foul mouth'

I realise that it's a football match and you're going to hear bad language, but is it too much to expect some restraint from people if there are young kids around?

Pity she didn't have the intelligence to say something more incisive, people like her make me sick.

Hope it didn't ruin your day.

How disgraceful. I hate the C word and for another woman to speak like that, I would be embarrassed myself.

You can't help some language when you are all het up but it seems as if they liked using abusive language when it wasn't even called for.

 

[Spicy]

I think bad language is totally uncalled for when kids are present. I certainly wouldn't use that sort of language.

 

[pasty]

I must admit I find my language does deteriorate at footy matches - especially recently, but I do always try to consciously tame things down if there's kids around.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I have one of the foulest mouths i know of, but i do my utmost not to unleash it around kids. Its just as much fun to try and think of alternatives such as melonfarmer, mongpicker or beanpaddler.

Sorry to hear that larus. It's all about a bit of consideration, personally I like swearing at the football when it's appropriate, does you the world of good, but that clearly isn't when you're surrounded by kids. Always going to be a delicate balancing act having groups of lads up for a few beers and young children in the away end. Same draw (the Albion), different days out. A bit of mutual respect, everyone's happy.

You will never see me swearing at matches

I've always accepted swearing as part of football so I haven't got delicate ears. I agree that hearing a woman using the c-word is awful. I'd say she had more to drink than she could handle.

I hardly ever swear but at a football match you are going to hear swearing.

The problem is that you get a complete cross section of society there and are going to get people who do act that way, not just Brighton fans.

You should have reported it to a steward. That is one of the things they are there for. One of the youngsters on here got warned about his language (didn't they? )

Bit late for that as the match has gone.

 

[fatboy]

I must admit that my language is terrible at the moment.

 

[Yorkie]

I think you know him quite well BrightonBird. He came up to me at half time and told me he'd been warned.

So I told him to stop swearing then.
He didn't get any sympathy from me

 

[BrightonBird]

ohhhh yes, I think I was sitting next to him when he was told. Forgot about that!

 

[fatboy]

It wasn't just swearing though. He was standing at the front of where people were standing up from so was drawing attention to himself.

 

[bhaexpress]

ohhhh yes, I think I was sitting next to him when he was told. Forgot about that!

So BB, why not tell us who he was ?

 

[Juan Albion]

Swearing simply shows a complete lack of imagination. Unless you come from Essex, in which case it is all you expect really.

 

[berkshire seagull]

Yeah who was this idiot
