Turkish Posted 24 November, 2010 Share Posted 24 November, 2010 Ive lived in or near Brighton for 20 years and been to a few of their games, so yes I think so. I guess my point is that chants between us and Pompey are funny because they are unique to our rivalry. The Brighton fans hear the gay chants at every single match. To them it neither winds them up nor is funny - its just sounds a bit pathetic - like the bloke who buys life insurance and says to rep when he signs "worth more dead than alive eh lol lol!!" thinking he's being original. So are you back in the closet now then? ANd like the bloke when asked if he has any kids replies "none that i know of", nothing says "I am a *****" quite like that.

cryoman1965 Posted 24 November, 2010 Share Posted 24 November, 2010 I quite agree, the only songs that should be sung at football are ones that are non offensive. "OWTSGMI" should be banned in case it upsets protestants, muslims or jews. "Red and White Army" is out too, has racist overtones and might upset any none white fans as they will feel excluded from the army. "Come on you Reds" Is factually incorrect, we play in Red White and Black, however "come on you red white and blacks" should not be sung in case it offends any none red, white and black fans. (although good to see Gingers with their red faces included in a chant for once) And as for "Rickie Lambert, Southamptons goal machine" He does not stand just over 6ft 3, yes he wears the shirt of Matt Le Tiss, but what about all the other number 7's we have had, how much they feel?and finally and most worryingly, he is quite clearly not a machine and he could be upset that we are comparing him to something that has no feelings or emotions, imply he is cold hearted, or even not a real person. How would you feel if someone accused you o that? NO wonder he has been sh*t this season, i blame the song. Very funny, although I am surprised non of the PC brigade have been on to warn you about bullying or being a gingerphobic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 24 November, 2010 Share Posted 24 November, 2010 The problem with the gay chants isnt that they're offensive, its that they're tired, lazy and totally miss the target. As with Saints fans the large majority of Brighton fans are hetero white men. There are more people of Indian origin in Southampton than gay people in Brighton. Would it be funny if the Brighton fans chanted 'does your Ashram know you're here'? or would you just think 'what the **** are they on about?

Jimmy Gabriel's Halo Posted 24 November, 2010 Share Posted 24 November, 2010 Population of London, 7.5 million. Population of Brighton 150,000. Do you think that there might be a reason why London has more gays than Brighton? I can't think of one off-hand. Wrong - it's 251,000 according to the last census. The vast majority of whom are, in fact, gay. I know, I work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 25 November, 2010 Share Posted 25 November, 2010 Wrong - it's 251' date='000 according to the last census. The vast majority of whom are, in fact, gay. I know, I work there.[/quote'] Didn't the town of Brighton see its population suddenly grow when they 'joined' Hove to get city status? Bit like Eastleigh becoming part of Southampton and suddenly having a 300,000 population. Of course the 'gay' chants are old and, other than the real young 'uns, probably don't really thing their being clever, but football fans are gonna sing anything if they think it'll get a bite. Just as many sing about northeners all being 'on the dole', Scousers all 'nicking hubcaps', all west country fans are 'farmers', Brighton has an undeniable gay reputation so it's inevitable the chants wont ever go away.

The9 Posted 25 November, 2010 Share Posted 25 November, 2010 Every supporter see's the game through his teams tinted glasses. I thought the game was played at such a high tempo and tackles were flying in. Nothing wrong with that, and was a great game of football to watch. Nothing wrong with what there keeper was doing was not time wasting, but playing for time, a huge diffrence. If like any other player he stands with the ball at his feet unchallenged he is not doing anything wrong, and the same for taking his goal kicks from the other size of the 6 yard box. I was supprised though that Brighton seemed hapy with the draw! Well, no, they're exactly the same thing. Trying to delay the return of the ball to play as much as possible in order to minimise the time goals can be conceded. That is wasting time. I'm not sure anyone's complaining about his having the ball at his feet, or even taking goal kicks from the other side of the box, but I suspect a few might have taken issue with his "short pass-no, go-long-no, wait -short pass might be on after all, oh it isn't, best kick long then" routine, which required a double or triple-taken run up before he actually kicked the ball, and began long before Saints even looked like we might score, somewhere around the time of the first goal kick after a couple of minutes or so. Thankfully by the second goal kick Saints fans were booing so much the ref was already noting the time eaten up. Though what the hell he was thinking by only adding 4 minutes at the end of the first half I don't know, the guy was on the floor for that long before the stretcher even got to him.

As boring as away fans singing "play up pompey" when they visit St Mary's - yawn, that was original. That is totally different, away fans singing "play up Pompey" is plain embarassing for them, why do it? I remember a few years ago for some strange reason when we were playing Man Utd the Itchen North started singing "liverpool, Liverpool" which was embarassing and the Utd fans responded with "who the f*ck do you support?" i dont know why we dont do the same, it shuts them up. As someone said above, you will always get these chants at football, it's part of terrace banter. How about "you dirty Northern ba****" should that not be sung because at least one northerner probably showers daily and does have a father? The anti Scouser songs about them being unemployed or thieving scallys etc. Why do we need to have this analysis of the gay demographics of Brighton and disecting every details over a football song? FFS lighten up!. Although they not provide a lolathon for most at least they are not as bad as "spurs are on their way to Auchwitz" "96 Scousers crushed against the fence" or "who's that lying on the runway? who's that dying in the snow?" If that was sung you really would have something to moan about. Edited 25 November, 2010 by Turkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the difference between "does your boyfriend know your here?" to a Brighton fan and "you dirty northern bastard" to any northern player? Neither are original, neither are particularly funny, neither are particularly offensive. Why dont you have a problem with "you dirty Northern bastard"? Why is this any less "hilarious" and orignal that "we can see you holding hands?" Quite simply it isn't. I dont see how you can be irked by one and not by another, given your reasoning.

I'm not irked in the slightest. "you dirty northern bastard" was never meant to be an amusing chant, and they are not aimed at a specific team to rile them. Many people singing those "Brighton chants" seem to be under the mistaken impression that it winds them up. It doesn't, Brighton fans have heard it so many times before.

simonsaints1 Posted 26 November, 2010 Share Posted 26 November, 2010 Just be thankful that with the Northam, Kingsland and Itchen corners, we have 3 or 4 thousand who actually chant. The likes of charlton, fulham and palace can probably muster a few hundred "singers " between them.I'm sure they would love to debate the quality or otherwise of songs.

You've explained why you prefer one moronic output (if I can't use the word chant) from the other, but for other people it's the other way around. So you can't defend one and knock the other because they are both the same thing, a collective moronic output designed to denigrate.
