I personally can’t remember the last time City sang about aberfan and I’m going back 30 odd years ago , as for Spurs they sing anti semetic songs about themselves funny I done both aswell and I found totally the opposite and was actually called English scum , seeing I have Irish parents and was christened catholic in Dublin , made me laugh with there Irish flags draped round them with there broad Scottish accents , oh I was actually caused scum in corporate in the bar not by no young chav , good and bad in both I suppose looks like I met the bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 The Aberfan song was regularly sang when playing the Welsh back in the day as was the song about Holloways kids when we used to play Rovers so we are no angels on that front but I would like to think we have moved on from that sort of thing, haven't heard anything of that ilk for years thankfully. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 The Aberfan song was certainly sung in the early 80s when we started playing Welsh sides again after our 4 year break from them. I didn’t start going to Ashton Gate until I was 12/13 so was aware how wrong it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season was a little “spicier” didn’t help being penned in the car park so the little ***** could throw rocks etc from the walkway - then some idiot dropping one off the bridge as we walked under it. Police did a decent job with the escort back to the station, it no doubt would have got nasty without them. All the way to the tube there were pockets of Millwall fans at each corner / crossing waiting to see if they could get through. As I say I’m sure that’s very tame in comparison, but worse than my last 3/4 visits before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if it’s true but I heard when this first occurred even the Bristol police were dismayed by it and turned a blind eye to what followed…..I know ccfc are no angels and sang songs like gas a jack at swansea after an ex players gassed himself in his car, but kids?

RedRock Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 My recollection was that the Aberfan chant was at a match pre-segregation, so 73/74’ish. I can remember at the time, even as an early teen, that it crossed a ‘red line’ by a substantial margin and to this day I still find it abhorrent that people would lower themselves to that level of depravity. Think the Cardiff fans responded by singing something about the Swiss air crash, which had many North Somerset victims. Dark days indeed.

You said “So you think City singing songs about Aberfan is OK? Anti semetic chants aimed at Spurs? Songs about Hillsborough?” Direct quote as above. When was the last time a song was seriously sung about Aberfan at AG? (It’s rhetorical don’t bother answering) You now agree that the Hillsboro/Spurs songs are not sang at AG. Glad to help with what you didn’t say! You got stabbed in Turin lucky you. Did they have a whip around to make sure the job was done properly? Or was that about random football violence I don’t even remember the last time the hissing thing was heard at WHU or Chelsea. I’m pretty sure they will get the same response that Millwall got from the FA and probably more if it happens again The Premier League is televised everywhere However on behalf of all my Jewish friends and relatives thanks for your support at this difficult time for everyone!

While I despise football violence, and I’m sure the Sunderland fans were up to all sorts as well, I must confess to a guilty chuckle when a bunch of Celtic fans went looking for trouble and one of them was knocked out by a Sunderland fan, and was put in the recovery position with his head gently resting on a Union Jack pillow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yank Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) I don't think its 100 percent right to lump a whole fanbase in with some bad apples. I know a Millwall fan who is the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. My brother follows Celtic(Did a study abroad thing in Glasgow several years ago) and even he gets irritated with how hardcore some of their fans get about non football issues. Quite sure there are some idiots in our own fanbase who get carried away with non football stuff. I don't let it get to me.

pongo88 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 It’s sliding doors for Gary Rowett. Millwall went into the final day of last season where a win would be enough for a top-six finish. They led Blackburn 3-1 at half-time, only to collapse to a 4-3 defeat to miss out on the chance of promotion. In a parallel universe Millwall won the Blackburn match and subsequently the playoff final and Rowett was a hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope an example is made of them. I am sure the hugs majority of Millwall fans will be disgusted with them. I heard someone at Leicester away trying to get a chant going about it and someone at Cardiff away trying to get a Sala chant going. Both times when we were losing. I ALMOST feel sorry for people who carry that much hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
