Football clubs/fans who just copy other clubs/fans with chants and songs.

Sheff Wednesday here singing ‘Hi Ho Silver Lining’ pre-game. That’s Wolves, Villa and Weds who sing that before the game… anyone else?

Worst one of ours was when we copied the Firmino chant for Zinchenko and still sang the Portuguese ‘sim senhor’ bit from the Firmino chant even though Zinchenko is Ukrainian.
 
Kids walking around supermarkets in their dirty football kits after their morning game.
The worst thing is they are still, wearing their football boots. My old man would mad at us as kids if we walking around on hard surfaces with our boots on. I guess refs dont test the sharpness of the studs any more before a match.

I've already confirmed that itcwas genuine.
My point is why are the bbc paying staff to write the reports.

Especially when my 91yr old mum is forced to pay £174 a year for a licence. Until a few years back she got it free, perhaps if they were run properly like a normal business has to be, they wouldn't waste so much money.
 
Also on football chants again…

Chants where the originators have made it up because their club/player/manager’s name rhymes with the lyrics of the song, then another set of fans pinch the song for their club/player/manager but the name doesn’t rhyme with the lyrics.

Didn't want to start a new thread so here will do.

Calling a man “bald” can now legally count as sexual harassment in the UK — yes, you read that right.

A recent employment tribunal ruled that insulting a man over his baldness is no different from making comments about a woman’s body. It started with a factory worker who said his supervisor mocked his hair loss… and the court agreed it crossed the line.

The decision has now set a nationwide precedent, putting appearance-based insults — including bald jokes — in the same category as sexual harassment.

UK workplace culture just changed in a big way.

Fucking right as well. Only a **** would call a woman "fatty" in a workplace and should be disciplined if they did. Obesity is a life choice though, baldness is not. How about people try to not comment on the appearance of others and mind their own fucking business?

As it should be.

Where does mocking or abusing someone for their appearance go from being a laugh to not being acceptable?

Why should poking fun at someone's baldness be considered any different than, for example, saying a female colleague has small boobs? Both are unnecessary in workplace culture and can cause distress to the individuals involved.

Do your job. Get along with your colleagues. Have a laugh. But don't be a **** about it.

A long time ago when I worked in an office, we went through a phase of whenever a female member of staff walked through, we called out random numbers.
These numbers referred to the number of pints of beer you would need to spend the night with said lady.
Different times.
Happy days

Everybody who complains about it is perfectly justified, because they obviously aren't a close enough friend to have been subjected to the jibe/insult in the first place.

What sort of idiot insults somebody outside their circle - to their face - then is offended when they are taken to task for it? Nobody is suggesting that you can't call your mate a FOC, just use common sense.

People who put the treadmill on an incline then hold on to it and lean back so that they're still at 90° to the base

People who wear hoodies at the gym with the hood up , its not a cool look and you're clearly not working hard enough

Seems to be a habit at my gym, people who take their trainers off and do their workout in just their socks or, even worse, bare feet, with their trainers just next to them looking a bit sad.

Firstly, this is a public place. Don't be disgusting. Secondly, why? Do these people take off their shoes at work because it helps them spreadsheet better?
