If your likely to get offended then don’t click on it ? I think it would be a little more tactful if certain songs were referenced on here rather then fully relayed. Homophobic chants were just as offensive at the time as they are now. |

I think Elton John would probably find it funny to be honest as would most of the gay blokes I know. It’s hardly that offensive it’s not making Elton John out to be anything other than what he is and no doubt what he’s very proud of. When fans have sung songs about Peter crouch being tall was that wrong ? Because he is.tall isn’t he , just like Elton John takes it up the rear. |

Elton John might find it ok, but it’s songs like that, that make it intimidating for people to come out as Gay in the first place and contribute to Football getting a reputation as unwelcoming for certain groups. This isn’t me trying to come across as woke, I’m personally not offended by football chants, I just think Football needs to be inclusive as that’s where it’s strengths lie as a community. I feel like Peter Crouch can take jokes about his height, because most of the time they aren’t derogatory or about his private life. |

I typed the song, as it was sung when we played Watford. I was there 30 years ago, I saw banannas thrown at black players. Far worse imo.

Interesting. |

I'm so sorry I hurt you're snowflake 21st century feelings ffs If I’m a snowflake for objecting to homophobia, then I wear that badge with pride to be honest. No-one is “ratting your ass” whatever that means, just requesting that a little restraint is used when posting certain chants. |

Nothing like reminiscing about "the good old days" when you used to be able to chant homophobic slurs at people without those pesky snowflakes taking offence, eh? Political correctness gone mad. Nowadays you get arrested just for being English. etc etc |

“Well I never felt more like singing the blues,
When the rovers win and the city lose
Oh rovers you got me singing the blues”

“Well I never felt more like singing the blues, When the rovers win and the city lose Oh rovers you got me singing the blues” That was the last time it happened, back in the 90s... |

Used to sing songs for fun then, never meant any harm, never wanted to hurt anyone regardless of position or nationality, it was singing banter.
BANTER.. sadly I've offended a few people on here, do I apogise!
Hell the F##k No.....

Thats the problem....thats what you thought....Just like everyone thought there was no harm in Alf Garnett back in the 70's. Just because it felt ok back in the 80s, it doesnt mean its ok today. It's easy to think there is no harm in it when you arent the victim or the butt of someones attempted humour. |

You can touch my apples cherries and pears,
My nectarines my tangerines,
All very crisp and hard,
But I'm begging you please,
On my bended knees,
Please don't touch my plums.

Party’s over.
Probably not a good time to mention the Archie Stephens song anyway.
