[Bad language contained within] To the c*** sat near the front today

[moDtheGod]

I'm not sure where exactly, but the seat number was less than 48 and you were in the front few rows, I'm guessing below about P. The one that called Chris Powell a monkey that should go back the jungle after the game was over and we were trying to leave the ground. You were probably in your 40s and you didn't have much hair. Or brains.

You're a fucking prick and a coward and I hope you die of an horrific cancer. I only wish I'd had the balls to punch you in the face instead of standing next to you and trying to ignore you. I'm not sure which of us is the biggest coward. Yes you do have to "control yourself" as you worded it, before launching into your pathetic rant regardless. You fucking racist caveman twat. Don't ever come to a Sheffield United game ever again because you're a fucking dick and we don't want you.

Why not make an allegation of racial abuse to the Met Police ? Easy to do online. They will investigate it. Charlton + SUFC will be sure to give all possible help. Find the scumbag , get him identified, shamed and banned.

Hear, hear.

 

[stannyblade]

totally agree. Get him reported. We dont want his type at the lane

 

[SwissBlade]

Get him banned. No need for shite like that

 

[dingledog]

I completely agree racism should be kicked out of football, but so should foul and abusive. Language. You completely spoil your argument with this disgusting language. If I was sat near you and you used this language near my six year old I'd be reporting you to the police

 

[cahill]

Make a formal complaint. It would mean that you would have to be willing to make a statement or give evidence. Judging by your anger it would appear that you are willing to do so. That said, your use of the c**t doesn't appear to suggest that your ire at racism is matched by your disgust at sexism or your understanding.

Whilst not condoning racism in any way shape or form, your "rant" has only served to put you in the same bracket as the chap you are having a go at in my opinion. Why even bother with the tirade of abuse in the second paragraph, you had said all you needed to in the first....think on.

I'd argue with classing the word "cunt" as a sexist term. It's no more Sexist than calling someone a "nob" or a "tit", "twat" or "cock". They're simply insulting, and some may be offended by bad language, but in themselves they're not sexist.

sex·ism (skszm)
n.
1. Discrimination based on gender, especially discrimination against women.

cunt [kʌnt]
n Taboo
1. the female genitals
2. Offensive slang a woman considered sexually
3. Offensive slang a mean or obnoxious person

In the case of moDtheGod's use of the word "cunt" it's the latter usage - offensive slang. It's not sexist. So your perceiving of his using it as being sexist would suggest that you either don't understand the term "sexist" fully, or you don't know what "cunt" means.
2. Attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender.

I'd suggest that the use of the word "cunt" was in no way based upon the gender of the person it was addressed to.

I'm not upset by the use of the word "cunt" myself, but it loses it's impact when overused. There are times when it suits and there are times when overuse just tires.

Not forgiving him but take a look at the time of the posting, and imagine how many pints mod had consumed bearing in mind he started in the pub at 12

LOL, I can see the "edit" button being used in the Mod house this morning........

 

[Stafford Blade]

well, by stating you'd like someone to die of an horrific cancer, you don't sound like the nicest chap either.

 

[Slugger]

I've always been "proud" if that's the right word of Sheffield's status of one of the least racist cities in the country. (just my opinion I know but I have plenty of experiences to back it up). Agree we don't need scum like that at the Lane.

 

[cahill]

Shorehamview. Oh dear ! I do realise he used the word cunt as an insult but he's adopting the moral high ground so perhaps ought to be a bit more consistent and self aware of use of language. Surely racism and sexism is about power differentials, and use of words is important.

 

[judge]

maybe its all neil warnocks fault

They are; but he hasn't been sexist.

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

No it wasn't but could you imagine the embarrassing outburst that would have come from him yesterday. Thank goodness we have DW.

I agree, I think that 'cunt' is a splendid word, however should not be overused. I can't see how it is in anyway sexist, however is massively offensive to some and perhaps should not be used in the title of a thread. Only my opinion and i'm not saying that I am right. The person using the racist language is a total cunt, someone on here will probably know him and should report him to the club at least.

 

[Foxy]

Can I just remind that whilst we don't have a rule against bad language, we do ask for people to think about what they post and not just fill the place with bad language for the sake of it. Many people of all ages read this place.

MTG, if you know where he sat/can describe him, let the club know.

 

[VespaBlade]

Personally I like the C word, I use it daily and try to use it thoughtfully when I do.
I mean can you EVER try to describe Smegson without refering to him being a huge one.

However to use it on a forum where the younger Blades fans can read it, it should probably be refrained from being used.

The guy who used racist language however does fall into the category of being one and I hope he is found and banned for life.

What I find offensive though is the term 'I hope you die of an horrific cancer' , sorry but that is 100 times worse than calling someone a C###.
Cancer is a fecking horrible disease and there will be people on here who have been affected by it ( I have).

So as penance, MTG, please put a quid in a cancer charity bucket next time you see one and hope it never effects you or anyone you know or love.... Then you will have my gratitude and forgiveness


This isn't a go at MTG as he was probably pissed but we didn't need the 2nd paragraph (on the forum) even though I agree with it all except the cancer part.

UTB
(In fact Everyone put a quid in a cancer charity bucket)

 

[moDtheGod]

Cancer's already affected my mum and my granddad. My missus works in cancer research. I know plenty about it, thanks.

I can't the see the edit button being used because I stand by what I said really. Racism is one thing that REALLY gets me angry. I'm sure why but it always has done. I have a foul mouth at the best of times. I'm not sure what the comment about the six year old is all about - I didn't say anything in front of any kids, I held off.

I hadn't even thought of reporting it to anyone, so thanks to people suggesting that. I'll look into it.

 

[Stafford Blade]

well if you know plenty about it and seen relatives suffer, then the fact you'd still like to see somebody else suffer from it speaks volumes about you as a person also.

 

[BaldeRunner]

The use of 'foul' language can offend but then so can comments about religion/politics/the weather etc. The use of racist language and comments, however, damage and hurt and are an offense to our very beings rather than just our social sensitivities. I understand your anger and I really hope you can nail the scumbag that made them.

 

[moDtheGod]

Or perhaps it speaks volumes about how much I abhor racism?

Having re-read this thread, I take on board the bit about kids possibly reading it. There's plenty of stuff freely available on the internet that is far worse than this little rant, but I suppose that's not the point.

 

[JJ Sefton]

They are; but he hasn't been sexist.

Whats wrong with being sexy?

No - the point is that your post is a total and utter diagrace. Never considered reporting it at the time - why not? I would have thought for someone so vehement it would have been a pretty easy thing to do, even in the crowd of people leaving the ground, surely a few coppers about or stewards? I think everyone abhors racism but there's very few who talk about in the way you have.

 

[LSF]

1. I dislike racists intensely.
2. I also have no time for someone who wishes such a horrific disease on another human being, racist or not! Speaks volumes about your caring side.... pissed or not....

 

[TarquinDelouche]

With MTG 100% on this one, and it's worded more or less how I would have put it. I see nothing wrong here. Insulting a man because of the colour of his skin and insulting a man because he's a filthy racist piece of shit are not the same.

 

[Bladesman]

Why not report it at the time rather than rant about it on here.

Racism is not acceptable and always needs reporting much like the Chelsea fans reported yesterday.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

So you abhor racism so much that you would wish death upon a person for it yet you couldn't be bothered to search out the person who was saying it at the time? Hmmm.
