Unpleasant experience in Colin Bell Level 3 today

[TheMightyQuinn]

People talk about football like it's some underground fight club where only the meanest survive.

What block was this in?

I was in 330 today and heard a young lad spouting all sorts. Needless as well. "Hurry up and take the fucking free kick you stupid fucking shit prick." For example!

The problem is it is not the Kippax Street Stand 1970's when anything went and women and children did not attend football.

Loads of kids stood at the front in the Kippax back than or sat on the wall...

Like you say he probably wants you know he's a die hard fan, surprised he didn't tell you how many loyalty points he has

was he a points whore ?

Bit of a queue for the toilet cubicles was there?

Bit of swearing at the football is ok.

Complain if you're in the family stand by all means but you shouldnt travel to the North Pole and complain its too cold IMO.

ffs get a grip you are at a working class mans game

Why did nobody mention this to me before?

I don't like the implication that being working class means swearing like fuck in front of kids.

agree - plenty of working class people know how to behave appropriately - I presume the middle and upper classes don't swear then?

Don't think the op was really complaining about "a bit of swearing" tbh. It was about the effect on his lad, the reaction after he mentioned it & the aggression.

My dad's working class and he never swore in front of me until I was in my mid twenties.

Hope that helps.
