Homophobic Leicester fans

[Nixonator]

You may feel that it's ok to call the lino a **** but I'm going to chose to be offended by that and want you arrested and banned from football matches. It's offensive and against the terms of attending football matches.

Blimey they'd be nobody left where I sit

I might as well return my season ticket now too........

Everybody knows its not our players performing badly it's the incompetent match officials........

 

[pauli cee]

At the end of the day racist and homophobic chanting are illegal, not banter. It lands you in court.
Chanting about disasters is distasteful but not illegal.

Just curious like, which do you find the most morally wrong??

 

[sir albion]

We should sing something different when it crops up I think. Something like:

We're heard it before
We've heard it before
It's f**king boring
We've heard it before

Or....
We take it up the bum
We take it up the bum
We're Brighton and hove Albion
We take it up the bum


That's much better and more fun

Why do you ask? I've already said I don't join in. I do sing chants in support of our team and players.

We get what we deserve collectively. It was socially common - if not even acceptable - to riot, fight with opposition fans and throw bananas at black footballers until societal norms changed. When people understand that homophobic abuse is as unacceptable as racism, it'll be just as rare. The difference is in 2017 we have the technology and football is inclusive like never before. My solution would stamp it out quickly, effectively and save waiting 20 years for it to stop naturally. If it pisses off a few hundred beer bellied blokes who don't like the idea of being caught making a tit out of themselves, I can live with that.

Beer bellied blokes ,REALLY

Yep. The fat *******s who can't enjoy supporting the Albion without ten pints and two pies.

Apologies, just found it an extremely bizarre comparison!
Ridiculing the deaths of many innocent people, to a bunch of pissed people singing crap chants to another group of pissed people looking forward to responding in kind

you might be DISSAPOINTED, as I said earlier most people couldn't give a shit about this apart from a hand full on NSC so it seems

There used to be a bigger range of comebacks.

'Here for the nightlife, you're only here for the nightlife.'

'You're just bicurious, you're just bicurious.'

'Know 'til you've tried it, you just don't know 'til you've tried it.'

'Sing when your mouth's full, you never sing when your mouth's full.'

I didn't make the original comparison.

ok, was just meant as a harmless, innocuous question, purely out of general interest

Although personally tempted to reply with: 'speak for yourslf - not with my haemorrhoids', you do seem to have missed the point of this thread. If I were gay and heard this shit at the football I would feel intimidated. If my own fellow BHA supporters came out with the 'more fun' response, I'd become a pringles and slippers stay-at-home-fan.

I'm beginning to wonder, to be honest, if there is anything you actually get

Anyway, when you wife's mum dies I'm sure you'll be able to cheer her up with some good mother-in-law jokes.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I just heard about this on the radio (see below). If the law is tightened, any trolling on here by our new rivals might end up more of a concern for them than they might have anticipated. And in the stadiums? Hmmm....

Funny watching the blokes who did it arguing and acting like they were the victims when they got pulled out.

What?

"New study finds that homophobia is common in Australian sport"
"AT least 75 per cent of respondents to a study on homophobia in Australian sport say they have witnessed or experienced homophobia."
"The study revealed 75 per cent of heterosexual respondents and 85 per cent of LGB respondents had experienced homophobia in a sporting environment, as either a participant or spectator.

The vast majority of LGB people surveyed agreed or strongly agreed that homophobic behaviour is more common in team sporting environments in Australia than in general society, though heterosexual respondents were split on that question."

like i said in a previous post the whole gender bias and sexual orientation debate is getting way out of hand........if you are being canvassed by organisations with specific agendas with your particular problem being addressed then i doesn't serve any purpose to deny that you have been personally faced with the problem .............did those people experience homophobia directly or did they hear homophobia towards a team mate , if a gay hockey team are asked en masse if they have experienced homophobia after one particular incident then that is 15 people who are going to answer yes , ask any muslim or African if they've ever experienced racism and the answer will be 100 % yes...won't it. Ask any left handed person of they have ever been given jip on the golf course by their playing mates......the answer will be yes , ask any police person if they have ever been abused by a member of the public and the answer will be 100 % yes. the fact remains i am still yet to hear the chant " town full of p*****s , you're just a town full of p***tas" at a football , rugby or afl match in this country........ i have to accept what edna has posted above as fact and i suppose , stand corrected .

The thing is, I've no idea how many games you go to, or where you go to them. It's possible that you've heard something that didn't seem particularly bad and you've forgotten it. I've no idea how often I've heard homophobic remarks, I generally ignore them, being far more concerned with whether we'd get any points or not. And maybe it's just an issue in certain sports in certain places - or maybe the homophobia is not so much crowds chanting, but comments from players to opponents etc. A lot of unknowns.

I accept your point that you don't recall witnessing homophobia at sporting events, and only knowing what events you go to and where would make your observation more meaningful.

 

[sydney]

used to go to Afl , League and union and football games in Sydney and have been to Afl , union and football games in Perth , it's obvious now that you are referring to your away experiences with The Albion which on a fortnightly basis must be offing tedious to say the least , it is an obvious and easy wind up for the opposition fans and i'm afraid with the likes of Stoke , Leicester , the Scouse and London teams to be entertained this year it will be rife this season.

 

[Conelli98]

Unfortunately the singing/comments will never be totally banished from our game! I think it's magnified because we are in the Premier! Well done to Leicester FC stewards for stepping up!

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

This is why I just go non league!

I don't know what to make of this. I'm a massive non league fan as you know and in most cases it is friendly and trouble free, however I've been to matches where an unexpected travelling element has turned up and without a presence of stewards or old bill it's been carnage
