And Its Smith Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I was sat in Block E of the Williams stand yesterday and was singing the Graham Poll song. "Oh Graham Poll, is a %!"£$ $%£$££%)"A copper then came and spoke to me and two mates to say that if we carried on swearing we would be ejected from the ground. I protested that he couldnt do anything and that it was a football stadium. He said something about rule 5 in such and such law and then reiterated the ejection threat. Just thought I'd let you all know so you don't get ejected. All second half I was replacing swear words with normal words, the guy didnt look amused!!Unbelievable though really.

Xiled Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 It's only words ffs.Sat in the East End yesterday, a young lad next to me let out a stream of sentances littered with the f word. There was a boy of about five years old sat immediately in front of him. I don't think this was a great way to encourage the young boy and his family back again. My friend asked the swearing guy to consider the boy in front of him and to his credit, he eased up with the f words.I have less of a problem with swearing in songs because it is harder to discern. "Two nil and you ######ed it up" was quite funny at the time.Generally though I think we can all say what we need to say without swearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_man_terry Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 shithowever, I believe that rule only really applies if you are a young lad probably under the age of 24 and an easy target, if however you are late 20's/mid 30's 6ft+ tall and well built, you can do what the hell you like.

Squeak Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Yep, I found this out the hard way as well. At half time, making my way to the toilets and a copper pulls me aside: "any more swearing and you'll be arrested". I admit to having sworn during songs such as Drink up thy zider other songs with swear words in. However, I generally don't tend to swear outside of these songs as i know that some people can find it offensive. Even so, I was singing these songs in Williams E block (my ST place) with about 70 (?) other lads. These other lads all appeared to be above 25. Me and my mate (who he also spoke to) are 17.My details were then taken and written down in a notebook and when i asked him if he felt that swearing was part and parcel of the game, his response was "go away".It is frustrating that these jobsworth coppers can get into Ashton Gate and attempt to ruin one of City's biggest games of the season for me. Not only that, I felt i was being victimized because of my younger age. I am not 'trouble', I've never been in trouble in my life. I go to football to have a laugh and to try and roar the lads on to victory. To be threatened with arrest is bizzare and slightly disturbing.

Strange how fox-hunting has been illegal for years and not one toff/snob royalist has been prosecuted for all the fox and stag hunting still going on. In the meantime football stadia are packed with Police at taxpayers' expense ready to eject, arrest and batter the unsuspecting football supporter for the slightest misdemeanor.God save England from the Royalist tyranny.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Absuing poeple verbily, chating at football at not in illegal.Good night last night Kev?I swore all game on Saturday, the people around me swore, I swore in the pub beforehand & so did everyone else. I got back from the game and swore. The coppers at the game swore in conversations with each other. GJ swore, Southgate swore, the players swore.

Our criminal justice system is regarded as the most corrupt and class based in Western Europe and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timdunn Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Superb! So at last they are trying to do something about the bad language.Now they have solved the smoking problem all they need to do is get rid of the swearing and going to the football will be really pleasant family entertainment like going to the Cinema or Theatre.

OmegaSnake Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 That's rubbish.If that's the case, they may aswell of ejected half the stadium whilst they're at it. There's to many people swearing in songs around the ground, they can't just pick on a few people when it's the majority that's doing it. People will sing what they like, and if there's enough people doing it theres nothing they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
