The Chants Against Foden's Mum

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I was pointing out that under equality legislation and the PSED if you are disproportionately affecting a cohort it is discrimination, it doesn't have to be exclusively affecting them.

If a term that is used the vast majority of time as an insult to women is used against a woman in that way, there is no way it isn't discrimination on grounds of gender to a reasonable man in 2025 the way the legislation has been applied and tested.

So the reasonable man thinks a promiscuous woman is a slag?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

How have you misconstrued the argument, both are not nice BUT one is a vulgar insult to say and the other is not.

Why is pointing out a woman’s promiscuity an insult? Do you think women shouldn’t be promiscuous?

 

[Ric]

I get your perspective, but mine was founded on ignoring the thoughts of horrible cunts who say either of those things. They are both objectively unkind.

They are not the same imo.

 

[CΛL]

Yep. Exactly the same song about his missus

Pretty sure we were saying his mrs was a grass not a slag

 

[Edghill OG]

Fuck me., we've had songs about Giggs having aids, Wenger being a peado and sun jihai bumming posh spice as she takes it up the arse, nothing here to get precious about

Perhaps some are more upset about the lack of creativity than the sentiment.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

They are not the same imo.

Because women shouldn’t be slags presumably?

I don’t get why it’s such a big insult. What’s wrong with a promiscuous woman that makes being called a slag so terrible?

 

[Quilted]

Why is pointing out a woman’s promiscuity an insult? Do you think women shouldn’t be promiscuous?

Why don't you go call your female co-worker a slag and while you're at it, your mother too. Let me know how you get on.

You're attempting to make a psuedo-intellectual point while ignoring the obvious.

I get what your saying totally but it is a bit different saying a derogatory thing about your mum. It just seems to hit a nerve and be more personal.

I think you’re being a bit disingenuous now if you don’t get why calling someone’s mum a slag is an insult.

 

[wolviedinho]

It is an insult but expected with Foden being a local lad on the blue side.

If anything, he should take it as a compliment, Foden has done some damage to those red wankers.

Scumbags anyway.

 

[city2]

Fans don’t respect anything or anybody seems it’s ok to chant anything derogatory.

I didn’t say it wasn’t an insult. I said it wasn’t a huge or significant one. And no, I don’t think it is either of those things. Because I don’t think it’s a bad thing for a woman to be promiscuous. So by extension, I don’t see that word, deployed in that way, in those terms.

Can't be too precious after the things we used to sing about Beckhams wife and questioning the legitimacy of his children. It's football banter get over it

 

[urban genie]

We have gone into derbys chanting

Giggs is ilegitimate and having aids
Clayton blackmore being a rapist
Bobby chalton being a nonce
Vicroria beckham being a whore

not sure it is a big issue fans. tend to be cruel.

obviously in this new age where all words are now weapons it is difficult.

He needed to grow a pair and fuck every rag **** on that pitch, but he didn't so more fool was he...

Exactly if they are insulting his mum, he should use his anger in the best way possible .... to 'up his game', score goals and completely floor the rag fkers!

Great players are able to rise above, or disregard abusive chants like that, they just remain focused, and are usually instrumental in downing the opposition ...... all chants like that do is 'fire them up' to do even better!

Don’t forget this absolute classic.

I don't remember seeing that on TOTP !

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Remember when the sticks and stones mantra held true. We were a lot less precious then. Pre the need to be liked and outraged in equal measure. Being offended is now a national pastime to wear with oh so indignant self-importance.
I find a dark humour in the depths of the chants and their formulation/adopption. Can't speak for Mrs Foden, but I'm sure she can look after herself.
Let's not get too Liverpool about words.

Still pathetic. Our own fans do this too. It's the actions of morons.

It was kept off top spot by "Shaddap you face" by Joe Dolce.
