benjii Posted 18 November, 2012 Author Share Posted 18 November, 2012 You're sad Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I'll assume the sarcasm in my post wasn't obvious enough... Didn't hear this song at all.... Confused:? It never took off en masse (presumably because most of our fans aren't morons) but there was a pocket to the right that tried to sing it a few times. Quite pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangermouth Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 Wasn't aware of it before but would have thought that it could as easily simply have meant 'cvvnt', which wouldn't have been a 'problem' had it been said and indeed was how I interpreted it. It could also have been 'f-g cvvnt', which is a bit harsh. He's probably just a tw*t as far as I can gather based on interviews he's given. Mind you, Rio usually comes across much better and he made a few stupid comments too. I don't think he qualifies as either, however. Someone who has started to be impressive is David James. Not stupid, as always, but a little less p.c. and just plainly intelligent and logical so hard to argue with. Would be interested to see how he gets on once he finally does hang up his boots and if he does decide to go into management. Kind of person I'd be quite happy to see at SFC in some role should events turn out that way (a long way ahead in the future). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bender Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 Stupid chant by childish people. Saything that I cannot stand Anton Ferdinand. Trying to get a fellow pro put in prison for a bit of f*cking name calling is appalling. Try and play the game in the eighties when every black player got it by both players and fans alike and were expected to just brush it off whilst getting paid hundreds of pounds a week not tens of thousands. What JT did was wrong but let the FA deal with it and, more to the point, let fans see the clips of him calling AF whatever he did. But criminal charges, seriously ?? Anton Ferdinand you are a disgrace !!! That was you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 I love it that everyone is quick to criticise and be offended by this chant. It could simply have been referring to the fact that Anton Ferdinand is not a very good defender and after his performance yesterday he certainly will know this. Maybe they were actually complimenting him on his self awareness and his fine character, determination and th bravery shown to take on the England captain in a courtroom. Oh no, we must assume it was racist and that these people were morons rather than fine upstanding soccerball fans either giving a player s bit of light hearted ribbing or actually praising him for his fine personal traits.

Bearsy Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 To be fair it is well known racist chant Turkish. The Chelsea fans invented it after Terry called him a black c*nt.

As someone who likes to see the good in everyone until proven otherwise I would like to think they were singing 'you know what you are' as praise for his bravery in him standing up to the racist thug that is John Terry.

Lazlo78 Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 Yes, the chanters in question clearly pinpoint Anton's fine display of self-knowledge as an object of praise. Only when Anton knows himself can he truly reach self-actualization, that highest goal of the late-modern human. Pretty straightforward. The real question is why 20 rogue psychologists went to the QPR away and decided to share their philosophical offerings with the masses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
