Unacceptable song

Perhaps we should start a trend towards factual, proven chants.

'City, possibly in the top 20 teams in all the world, and maybe the top 3 in the land'

'One James Milner, there may only be one James Milner... we better check the phone book... there may only be one James Milner.'
 
Let's play sitting musical statues for the full game and not move or utter a word. Don't give in football grounds need atmosphere. I agree some chants are risky but the majority aren't ........loud and proud Blues!!!!

There's an Irish rugby club, Munster, who are known for having incredibly passionate fans. Their home ground is a fortress and they travel better than anyone.
So much so that in an important match in their pool Saracens decided that the only way they could get an upper hand, knowing that the away Munster fans would out sing their own side, was to play music anytime the Munster fans started to sing. Not like it made much difference.
Saracens won the game in the end, but their fans were mortified, and complained to their own club. Can you imagine being that passionate, that loud that clubs resorted to that. I'd rather that any day over pointless offensive chanting.

And I would rather silence over some of the stuff that comes out at a game. And silence can be unnerving. One other thing these Munster rugby fans do is silence. They go silent when the opposition has a penalty as a sign of respect, but it's unnerving. Can you imagine taking a penalty kick in a ground that is dead quiet, not a sound. Just like around the 1.33 minute here. Respect and passion. Second to none.

There's a difference between being "loud and proud" and just stupid..
People get taken over by this mob like thinking, singing things they'd never do in real life, you wouldn't walk into your office at work in the morning and say some of the things you've said and heard at a football match.
I think if you are happy to walk around in your regular 9-5, family time etc, and say these things that are sung in the chants, than that's just fine.
If it's not something you'd repeat at your workplace etc than there's something wrong with what's being said.
It's not a matter of being overly sensitive etc. It's just common sense. In my opinion. If you can't happily say these things in your real life then you have no business singing them at match.

And implying that it's just a Munster thing to be quiet when the opposition have a penalty, that's almost universal in Union.

Put it this way - if he's actually being serious with some of that shite he's posted then attending football matches really isn't for him. No doubt there's a valid discussion to be had in this thread as to what constitutes crossing the boundaries of acceptability with the song in question but the longer that post went on the more it became a rant against football fans in general while bigging up the behaviour of rugby fans.

I also find it incredibly ironic that with regards to repeating/not repeating things at football matches in the workplace, that he appears to be citing rugby union as some kind of benchmark for exemplary behaviour yet this is the sport where such despicable acts as eye-gouging and stamping are commonplace.
