The Humble Realist Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I wonder if she knows she is called a whore every week ? I wonder how it makes her feel to know that every week thousands of our fans call her a whore just months after losing her husband ? I wonder why we sing this about gas managers and whether even for football fans we should be a little more grown up? I wonder whether any of the above questions really matter and I should lighten up a bit but having watched city for almost 20 yrs I've heard us sing this over and over again and thought we should be better than calling someone's mother a whore... I've got my tin hat ready..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Never heard anyone call Dopey's mum anything. Nor would I repeat it if I did. Only stuff I've ever heard is the stuff about dogs - which I STILL can't find out how it came about! Does Dopey have some ban on animal keeping or something? Was he pictured walking his mutt and it escalated from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His grandmother brought him up so he treated her as his mum. He's been estranged from his mother. Maybe some of the gas heads on here could verify that? What I was told by my gas head neighbour .

I think- though not 100% sure- that his mum died when he was young, it certainly is true that his grandmother brought him up and she died relatively recently. As regards to the song, well it's just a football chant that has being doing the rounds for years isn't it. You sing it, we sing it, I don't think anyone means the words to be taken literally.

HIGHRIDGE BCFC Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I despair of some of our fans! We're turning in to scousers! Lighten up. It's a song that's sang by thousands and thousands all over the country for crying out loud! Youll be buying flowers for the poor souls next!

I'd agree with this, it's just generic "your mama" banter - the Italians' stock-in-trade. Where it crosses the line is when there is targeted abuse like when Glenn Roeder had a tumour (W Ham fans), or like the Leeds scum singing about Brooklyn Beckham when he was a little kid.

A Horse With No Name Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 She definitely died only last year. Rather poor taste to continue with that particular song, however much we may hate him. edit, reading some of the above replies, I may have it wrong but it was definitely reported as his mother.

Agreed. When you know his mum his dead I think it turns from tasteless chant (which I'm all for within reason) to pathetic. BTW As Miah Dennehy thought, DC's mother died when he was young and he was brought up by his gran. And his gran died last year as MD stated.
