Fan The Flames Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 This police crack down is a cock up.

LGTL Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 So Burrows wants saints fans to grass on fellow saints fans who dare sing something as incriminating as "we can see you holding hands" or any other pretty poor attempts at a wind up?

LVSaint Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 Whilst I'd imagine it must be pretty miserable being a Brighton fan having to endure the same old repetitive wind up, it is just banter, albeit a rather unpleasant strain (ohh er). It is what it is. I wouldn't do it, others would. Nothing the police can do (or should do) about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a reaction I accept people to sware out loud but when someone goes on and on can help but feel he must have some sort of learning disability, I know lots of people who would love to take there family but can't be dealing with coming out with there kids thinking swearing must be cool because the idiot behind is. You are right of course about the family stand which is much better BUT I'm saying people avoid taking kids because of the society we now live in... which has changed alot since the 70s/80s and is far less tolerant of any sort of discrimination, which I belive is a good thing.

Brighton & Hove City Council http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/7815419.stm#blq-main Makes you wonder - did any Brighton fans really complain after their last game down here? Why would they? It happens in every game they play and I certainly can't remember anything particularly bad being sung at all. Not saying Hants Police are making this up or exaggerating this at all. Well actually I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 If you need to insult someone who has insulted you, and you choose to call them a b*****d or a c**t the insulting noun really does need a descriptive adjective in front of it to give it adequate strength. Perhaps the police could issue a list of which descriptive adjectives are legal and which are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 17 November, 2011 Share Posted 17 November, 2011 Funny people think it's an issue about freedom of speech etc. Why should it be any different to any other place? If you walk the street and swear, fine. People might judge you, most won't care, but generally I don't see any problem with it. But if you aggressively swear AT someone, it's a bit different. Intent is everything really. On that note, I'm sure singing about gay people isn't necessarily due to hatred or meant that nastily, but that doesn't make it alright. I don't think so many would walk down the street making anti-gay comments. I don't really understand the obsession so many people seem to have with gay people anyway. Maybe a religious thing, or with football fans maybe it's some desperate attempt to seem really manly. Clearly everyone knows the fact that the gay men of Brighton desire nothing more than a fat, bald angry man in a tight football shirt. Imagine if by some weird statistical anomaly every Brighton fan there was gay. Why would it matter exactly? There must be loads of gay saints fans too. Must we all obsess over where people put their genitals? Homophobia almost seems similar to kids pretending to hate the girl they actually fancy. Adrian, no offence mate, but the way you are moaning about this you sound like a bender, what is offensive about we can see you holding hands other than it isn't that funny?
