If you think that your Mother would slap you for singing it then don't sing it.

Can they be shut for drummers? I find them offensive. Shrewsbury had 3 the one game there and it was still a library.

Good, as long as both sides observe common sense I'm sure it will be fine

If you think that your Mother would slap you for singing it then don't sing it. But I thought that slapping had been banned? 😝

I suspect they'll make a few examples of the first few offenders, and then it'll settle down into something more sensible when one of the bigger clubs is accused.

Good to see everyone's taking this so seriously. Especially after what went on versus Brighton, and page upon page of tedious "but it's just banter" thread on here. We can see you holding hands chant is hilarious. People need to stop being offended so easily, it’s a joke and a funny 1 not an aggressive 1. We ain’t premier league supporting tourists. We’re a hardcore bunch of idiots who want to enjoy our football. If your offended by above chant you need to stop being a big girl’s blouse. Far to easy to offend when it’s not actually offensive, it’s humour.

This is too politically correct for my liking. The cheek of the authorities, punishing people when they break the law. I hate being told racism isn't allowed. 🙄 You've basically made the assumption along with a few others that you won't even be allowed to talk without being accused of discrimination when this is most likely aimed at the dickheads who take it too far.

Are we allowed to sing - The referees a w**ker? Be a shame if we can’t because boy do we get some! That’s just a fact / true so can it be discriminatory? Doesn’t discriminatory in this case imply derogatory? Can we chant Yellows or not? Colour? It will be some time before fans are allowed anyway! EFL and Premier League and broadcasters would be best suited to sorting out their own institutionalised discriminatory practices first and set an example before such a “stupid” Idea is put in practice? It will be too difficult to enforce and would be unfair on most clubs as they will not be able to enforce it while a game is going on; once done, too late. UTG You've made a massive assumption here, surely this is aimed at racism and stuff which is flatly offensive rather than little petty slights? Surely stopping racism isn't a stupid idea?

We just risk taking the fun out of football and life in general. I love the banter between football fans. You take the water out of each other all game and then shake hands at the end of it all. It's all part of it for me. Obviously there is a limit.

However..silver lining...beastiality is still fine...so any player who "is the meanest and sucks a horses ....." carry on . Obviously clearly stating " we hate city , we are the city haters " is a hate crime. The smurfs have put in a complaint about sexual abuse over the chant " come on you blues" The introduction of face masks at grounds is being seen by fans as a bonus as they can now chant what they like without cameras identifying them as the chanter.

Don’t think anyone would argue with that point. But isn’t there enough legislation out there already to cover that scenario? Problem is when you get, and it will happen, those who are happy to have their 15 minutes of fame on social media being serially “offended“ by the petty slights, the normal banter of the terraces etc. Then a shitfest will start and before you know it all sorts of stuff will be pulled into this. Why do we need yet more legislation/rules, whatever to cover things that are probably already covered in existing laws/legislation?

Whilst I completely agree with the sentiment, as I would never personally chant racist/sexist/homophobic chants as that's not me, I do worry that even in this day and age when prejudice is not as openly prevalent as it once was (a good thing), there is a sensitive and careful line to be drawn in regards to stopping it.
It's like pushing back the tide, or damming up a river. My fear is with all these movements and changes in policy/tradition (and I'm not saying change is wrong), is that its likely to lead to a "blow out" of hatred/prejudice, which is the tide being held back.
What the answer is, I don't know, as doing nothing certainly isn't either.

When we played Brighton there was only one bloke trying to start homophobic chants on the East Terrace where I was. A greying, fat man, slurring his words, falling about and generally being a nause. No one joined in and he loudly kept affirming to those around him that it was really funny. No one smiled. Think this about sums up the state of play with these chants and the folk who insist on them. They think they're really funny and everyone loves how un-PC they're being but they're increasingly just being seen as sad old Special lady gardens.
Just my opinion. No need to take offence.
