"Sexism in football"

[AndyT]

If this is the game at Birmingham, I was there, too.

The local plod/stewards didn't take too kindly to it, though.

No this was at Roots Hall.
Credit where it's due,She knew exactly what the chant was and the 24 thing is what her grandmother thought was being sung!
Her Nan couldn't believe we held her in such regard and knew her age!
I felt it was a bit strong to be honest, but emotions were running high and I'm sure she was expecting a hostile reception,as was Judas.Looking back I think it showed great character,Can't say how I feel about her associates though!

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Just another attempt to completely sanitise football. Should the Bluebelles be banned because they objectify women?

No they should be banned because they are crap :winking:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Did you find the chant of "Karen Brady is a whore" reasonable?

No, I didn't. Workers in the world's oldest profession haven't done anything bad enough to deserve to be bracketed with her.

 

[Zeuss]

Yes, yes I did.

No,no.much too polite.

Ah, much obliged.

It was also sung at St Andrews at the return game, which resulted in stewards and police piling in around us and dragging a couple of people out.

Bearing in mind we were away at Birmingham and outnumbered about 20 to 1, I'm not sure I've witnessed more fired up support from us lot that afternoon.

There was a real edge to the atmosphere. Not pleasant.

I can imagine! For the home game I was in the south (away end) somewhat similar (couldn't get in the north).

Well it's happened in darts and now motor sport. Are the days of cheerleaders at football matches now at an end?

couldn't see it happening in America, it's viewed as a profession

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Knew football was going downhill years ago when at the Sheffield Wed cup game we got the eviction threat for singing Waddle is a W*****r and waving to him .Not even the chants of Let him die or bring on the dustbin for injured opposition players are even heard these days...All that's left now is the abuse of the linesman and referees eyesight....Where has the fun gone these days :winking:

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Won't be long before a player makes a statement about being offended by a chant that happened 12 years ago.:sad:
