Unpleasant experience in Colin Bell Level 3 today

[blue for life]

Is the child crying because of swearing or because of the unpleasantness of a situation where one person has put a steward on another person?

Because of the swearing - the steward didnt come down for a while after I asked him to - dont like bullies who verbally abuse but then that's me!

Have a good evening.

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.

So you have never swore in the heat of the moment in front of women and children ? If you havent , then you have amazing resources of restraint .The "new" clientele that frequent the etihad are definitely not working class , a lot of are day trippers , waiting patiently to be entertained , (perhaps they have got bored with going to the ballet or theatre) . Working class supporters are being priced out of the premier league , i dont want my club to become as soulless as the swamp and the emirates , but it is ,because success will inevitably bring the glory hunters , and the 50,000 who were at York away , will just have to accept this as the price to pay for our attempt at global football domination.

I've sat in all parts of the ground and I've found that wherever I've sat I have always been in earshot of someone shouting, swearing and carrying on, often going beyond what a reasonable person would expect. Always passionate but sometimes abusive and even racial abuse. I usually try get the family stand when I have my lad with me when I can, but while everyone is entitled to express themselves at the match, within reason in legal terms, I think that, just as there is a family stand for kids, there are also certain parts of the ground for those who wish to go over the top, where they can shout abuse to their heart's content. In the corner by the away fans for example. I know there isn't an official 'abusive fan' section, but it's well known that's where the majority of noise and singing comes from.
Final point is. It will never change. Football grounds will always be like that, no matter how many people agree or disagree

Thanks City Island - could not have put it better - I dont go expleting on the bus or chatting to the parents at school pickup time as it is not the place to do it - same even in footie grounds if surrounded by kids. Sets an awful example of how to behave.

I have the mouth of an Irish docker with a sore hand carrying bag all day, and I have somehow managed to never swear in front of my mam or any kids that I've been aware of in the vicinity. People who have met me will attest that I swear six times whilst describing a puppy.

This isn't difficult.

I don't swear,smoke or drink.
Fcukin hell I've left me cigs in the pub.

I swear. I swear more than I'd like and I've swore numerous times in front of young relatives.

There's a big difference between a bit of swearing and some kids dad asking you to stop swearing as it's making his child uncomfortable.

I've never been to a 'ball', I don't enjoy the theatre, ballet or anything else like that. I was raised in a very working class household where if you wanted to make kids cry by mouthing off you'd get a smack for being a dick.

At no point is this about new fans either. I think it's safe to assume both parties are long time fans.

I've been going to matches all my life and at no point have I judged how hardcore I am on how many kids I made cry that day like a good working class boy should.

Unfortunately people do say and shout things in the heat of the moment , i did swear several times today due to our 1st half performance , but our crowd base is changing , i was also in the colin bell in 222 , and the looks you get from some "fans" when you dare to encourage your team is a concern , We are at home , we should get behind our team , not sit in silence condemning the supporters who actually care enough to encourage the players. Its a passionate sport , its a shame 70% of our supporters cant be arsed to get behind the players , and instead sit on their backsides whinging about every misplaced pass.

Nothing wrong with showing passion and getting behind the team, rather than grumbling! you can't beat the atmosphere of well up for it crowd! you can do that without swearing like a trooper! I'm one who gets carried away in the moment during games, but I'd probably be embarrassing to a 6 year old, rather than scary!

This isn't about exclaiming 'FUCK ME!' at a misplaced pass.

It's about swearing until a child is crying and his father feels compelled to ask you to stop at which point you continue.
