Betty Swallocks Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 yeah, but they are there to be leched at, and know it. That's not what a lino or medic are at sporting events for though They're there to wash the kits after right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiltsRed Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm pretty sure at a Sheffield Wednesday away match we had a female lines person and a large contingent of city supporters gave her quite a bit of attention. But I think anyone one that stands out gets a winding up from the fans and many groups could be offended, a bit like in life really. If you've got long hair, overweight, ginger, female, got a name that can be changed to something rude, the list is endless. Thankfully it's been years since I've heard racist chanting mind.

And Its Smith Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 The 'that's life' argument is so depressing. That doesn't have to be life; that's the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 If you're prepared to speak to someone personally the way you'd chant at them whilst hidden in the faceless mob then carry on chanting. If you aren't embarrassed by it then let no reasoned argument stand in your way. On a personal note I'd much rather see a fit 30 something woman running the line than a fat balding 45 year old bloke. And I'm prepared to give a lino the same abuse male or female. It wouldn't involve sexism or racisim but might include references to weight and/or eyesight as appropriate (and since I'm overweight and practically blind without correction I like to feel I knew what I was talking about).

Leveller Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Oh come on.... That's completely different and you know it. Is it? Why? You mean a young woman of say 20 should put up with aggressive obscene attention that a 15 year old shouldn't? Get your head out of the sand. That's the polite version.

Reigate Red Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I remember a few seasons ago being at Portsmouth where there was a young woman and her boyfriend in the adjacent stand. Choruses of "she's got chlamydia" rang out intermittently for a long period of time and were clearly directed at her personally. It was embarrassing and no doubt difficult for them. Mind you...the chant at West Ham about one of their rather generously proportioned fans being James Corden was funny... even better was the fact that he played along with it.

RedLionLad Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Stop it. This thread is about chanting at a football match, not about child abuse. So are you are saying it's abuse when directed at a child but after that, she's fair game? How much abuse would you let your wife or girlfriend endure before doing something about it?

Mad Cyril Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just parking the moral issue for one second...Is "get yer.... s out" actually abuse or instead a cringeworthy form of compliment? I would imagine there would need to be a modicum of attraction to prompt the response. Possibly a chant involving the word "ugly" would be more damaging?
