The Chants Against Foden's Mum

[Quilted]

Do you think the chants slandering his mother negatively impacted him today?

Sometimes, opposing fans shouting defamatory chants can fire a player's anger and lead them to play better.
But did today go a bit too far?

Pep makes a comment on it in his post-match press conference.

She'd have windmilled the cunts if she was there.

I wouldn't mind my mum being called a slag if i was on £250k a week

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

If they did, he’d better get used to hearing them.

First time I’ve heard that chant towards him and he’s been shite all season so no I don’t think it affected him he’s just shite this season

 

[thegoatsthegoat]

Have teams sang it all season and why he has been shite? No, it is a derby, nasty things get sung. We sing about Gary and Phil shagging their mum. A few derbies ago Bobby Charlton touches kids got sang. Lets take no moral high ground, it isn't nice but when did everyone become a wet wipe

I alone have called van Persie a rapist, he scored in the same game, and have also insinuated that one member of the Neville family was not only bumming his wife or kids.

Don’t forget this absolute classic.

But the Premier League since then has been tough on chants such as "Chelsea Rent Boy" which I would say is not even that offensive. So its either are they allowing dark humour chants or are they not.

I still occasionally sing that to myself

 

[Goater=Legend]

Don't agree with it but players have received much worse abusive chants.

Dark humour chats > Tragedy chants

Any naughty chants are only investigated if they involve games with scousers.

Don’t we all, mate!

Yeah, and then there was the fans' gift in Giggsy!

 

[bluesmith]

No impact on his performance whatsoever, he's played the same all year.

Not sure it makes it right but I've sung and heard some horrendous stuff at the match, it's part of football.

Incorrect, it is deemed homophobic and a protected characteristic. Calling someones Mum a slag isn't.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Fergie touches boys
So does David Moyes

 

[Eccles Blue]

Have you seen Phil’s face when Pep hugged him at the end? That was the face of someone who is bothered. The players are only human after all and have feelings and no amount of money can stop that.

Of course it is, protected characteristics apply to gender based abuse too.
