Sadly I expect those particular fans don't have enough brain cells to rub together to understand the irony of their chants. Probably the same lot that sing the IRA song. I don't sing that song but do not find it offensive - Just odd

In the late 80s and early 90s it may have had some meaning but right now, it’s just a pointless song that could rile some Irish people so we would be better off changing the chant to something else.

Still cringe every time I hear it , it does feel at times that lots of our supporters are stuck in a bloody time loop and they think it’s still the 70’s , 80’s and early 90’s , embarrassing

Ark at all the choir boys on here - We are not alone as football attracts all sorts and we are no different than any any other club I am old enough to remember the dark days as portrayed in "Green Street" when it wasn't safe to follow your team away from home and when fights were ten a penny and I i witnessed a few. As a kid i was attacked at Leicester Station for wearing an away scarf. It is so much safer and better now but I did get flashbacks when I saw the rage on some of the faces that day. I don't think the younger generation know how bad it was

A decent chunk of those singing it would have been bought up on a completely different type of extremism to boot!

Interesting that this thread has been made now.
The points raised by the OP were raised in the Match Day thread but got very little attention.
I suppose it must have been that everyone was in meltdown about the result so it was overlooked

Wasn’t at Exeter but isn’t that all part of being a professional footballer player ? You take the rough with the smooth . Not saying it was right or justified but that’s what happens when your side gets stuffed / wins ( plaudits) . I'd usually agree with that, however, on this occasion Belshaw had done nothing wrong, yet some of the people behind the goal were apoplectic with rage towards him. Totally uncalled for. Completely agree with Tilly on this one….there’s never a good reason to completely berate your own player and especially a goal keeper! It’s a confidence position….some fans need to get a grip…

Certainly wouldnt have been any defenders around that are as they were missing for the whole half
