Two minors suspended by club for offensive chanting at Brighton game | 17 year old charged by GMP (p29)

[IT and Me]

Anyone who went away in the bad old days, I refer to our prowess on the pitch, (eighties to naughties) will remember and probably have sung (particularly in the pubs prematch) songs deemed distasteful then and against the law now. I’m thinking “dig up…” “how many di…”
I did but wouldn’t now. However, I am now a FOC and know better - and smartphones, social media etc. wasn’t a thing back then. Thank fuck!

These are 2 match going children who, like many of us at their age, did things they now regret. Might have something to do with the fact that their brains aren’t fully developed yet due to their age.

Some of the moral outrage on here is outrageous. I can’t make my mind up if some of them are City fans. They certainly couldn’t have been following City away in the old days. They need to give their heads a fuckin’ serious wobble. They clearly don’t understand the concept of empathy.

I feel really sorry for those kids and their families and even sorrier that society can react in the way that it has. “Sticks and stones..”

It’s bad enough when it’s clearly pushed by the Red agenda. We don’t need blues talking shit as well.

I appreciate the WOKE brigade will take offence to this post so I will end by saying that I think you’re all deluded wankers and brainwashed sheep who follow whatever the powers that be tell society to think.

I won’t be replying to any comments on this post. Oh, and it’s Dinner, Tea and Muffin.

Let’s hope we are impeccable tomorrow and smash those horrible Cunts.

It was a long time ago, but I think I remember Salman Rushdie couldn't be charged with a public order offence because the person reading the book was too far removed from the offence committed in writing the material that was alleged to be offensive.

Seems to me, Rushdie = the three lads, the book publisher = the guy who posted the tiktok and the people offended are still too far removed.

I wonder if they are being heavy-handed as part of a crackdown on "antisocial" behaviour at football grounds ..... and it will all blow over now the point has been made.

Otoh, what the fuck do I know.

But also nothing Rushdie wrote was threatening or objectively abusive. So the offence would not be made out in any event.

Now not saying what the 2 young lads was anyway right it wasn’t,but come on surely this goes on every week at games maybe not so much being recorded and stuck on social media,but ffs come on have the police not got better things to be putting time and effort into,finally to put the shoe on the other foot would there be such an outcry and police involvement if it was 2 rag kids doing the exact same chanting about an old city player..

People are far too easily offended these days. It’s actually pathetic.

If only the club would have said "We are looking at it" instead of rushing out of the offices with blue lights strapped to their heads.

Our club and football in general won't be happy until they've eradicated every ounce of passion and rivalry in the game. We'll then be left with tourist fans who film everything and take selfies all game. They won't support either club but will politely clap every goal by either team and be no threat to anybody. The club's will then be crying there's no atmosphere and asking what they can do to improve it. By then it will be too late. All the old heads will have died, been banned or lost interest. Their kids will see this and follow suit. "Football? Nah don't go anymore. It used to be fun but not now .It's too expensive, my dad got banned for swearing, me and my mates got a final warning for giving wanker signs to Liverpool fans who were throwing coins at us. It's not worth the hassle anymore." We got a taste of this at the charity shield. The writing is on the wall.

What two young lads in the Concourse video themselves singing a death chant then posting it on social media? I've not seen it before

It's like they are cleaning it up before they move it lock stock and barrel over to the USA, ironing out the creases etc..

Laws prevent that, not some lecturing from a paid huffer and puffer.

If I sigh and tut tut in someones general direction because I don't agree with what they say or do it doesn't make me better than they are.

It appears there’s a law preventing their stupidity too, sad that others have done same thing and got away with it but that’s life most of us will have got away with something others get caught for. I’ll be dead honest singing that was pretty sick the guy played for Utd so what it was 50 years ago, he was a fellow human being. I’ve met him he was ok even had a bit of a crac when he ask for a brew and got it in a City cup.

People aren't arguing that it was the right thing to do, what they are arguing about is the double standards considering this happens mostly everywhere but yet again they focus on us, in this case a few young arseholes.

Heavy handed stupidity from the officials and aided and abetted by our own club, it's shameful.
