Homophobic chanting

[Albion Rob]

It has never really bothered me before, but last nbight (maybe because of the context) it really pissed me off.

The thing that I don't get is that if we had a high black population and were called 'A town full of niggers' or if we had a high asian popualtion and other teames screamed 'pakis what's the score?' then there would be outrage.

I'm all for baiting and banter, but why is it acceptable to do some things but not others.

On the other hand it's not as if we don't vcall the Welsh sheep shaggers and the northerners spongers and stuff so maybe what goes around comes around.

Actually it looks like I've just shot down my argument there....

See racism thread - yesterday.

We should keep doing what happened at Bmuff. Coupla quick verses of "Does your boyfriend know you're here" and it confused the shit out of them. I don't recall hearing anything homophobic from them all day.

 

[Albion Dan]

The best way to deal with this is come up with a comical response. I think we need to come up with a comedy YMCA chant in response and when its ovbvious were not bothered it will soon stop.

Ready.......

"YOUNG MAN, I SAID..

 

[Marc]

not quite homo but still a good song from NOFX

I think we just have to laugh it off because nothing will ever be done about it how many openly gay footballers are there?

 

[Albion Rob]

Sorry, didn't see the thread yeasterday.

Mods - Feel free to delete this if it covering old ground.

I thought the responses last night were brilliant.


To their keeper - 'wer're gay but we've shagged your mum'

and also 'i'd rather be gay than a cockney'

Priceless....

 

[SK1NT]

was classic when they were singing " your gonna win f*** all" and in quick response we all sang, " you've never won f*** all"

classic that shut em up! that was better than the " we're gonna win 6-5" chant at palarse!

I make you right, Baldy, that's got to be the way to go. What about a round of 'Does your girlfriend know you're gay?' That'll unsettle 'em...

 

[CHAPPERS]

- 'wer're gay but we've shagged your mum'

I didn't think that one was gonna get off the ground.

About as many Pakistani footballers. Clearly to the police and stewards it is more acceptable and 'funny' than anything racial. For comedy value get Peter Tatchell to a game and make one of his citizen's arrests.

 

[Faldo]

When they started the "just a town full of faggots" chants, some guy next to me responded by shouting, on his own, that he was gonna go over ther anf f*** themall up the arse....... "that'll show em" he said with glee....

Well - yes.... it would.

And that my friends, is post no. 100....

 

[albiongirl]

I just laughed and said to my friend I'm not a faggott although they go well with onions and mash potatoe!!

 

[Kenhead]

who threw the pie at the keeper in the 2nd half?!? was waiting for him to tread in it!!

he wouldn't have burned himself on it that's for sure.

We had to take the Balti pies out of the 'catering hut' to warm them up FFS.

That is just spot on

I agree - I thought that was quality

Like the YMCA idea as well

The police etc dont think homophobic remarks are racist. You can sing what you like about brighton fans and the police find it funny, But is you said I'd rather be a .... than a .... then you would be arrested and charged.

The law states that hombobic remarks are just as bad as calling soimeone a p... or j.. or the N word. But the local poilce just laugh it off when it's about gays.

Never mind, We've put up with it for years and so it will continue for the forseeable future
