Club writing to fans re language

[taylorsblades]

dont all children hear worse in the school playground or on tv?these same kids who there parents try to protect from swearing will end up wanting to go on the kop when they are older anyway!

We all had to start somewhere , SV , and it's done no harm to me or my 15 kids , or the child support the various mothers get . .

Don't agree with the majority on here, just because they hear worse on the streets and the playground, doesn't make it right.

Don't see the need for rabid profanity.

watched an U10s game this weekend, two of the players were kicking a ball about on the touchline when one said 'go and get it you little c**t'. I've got my nine year old with me. Should I accept that because he's going to hear worse, and pretend that everything is hunky dory?

I accept you're going to get bad language, especially at away games, but I don't see why people with young children should have to put up with some moron who's had eight pints before he's got to the game, constantly swearing in their lugholes, and then falls asleep in the second half.

In regards to the letter originating from the Club, perhaps the personal touch would have been a better way forward.

A quiet word, then get him in the car park and kick the S**t out of the t**t.

My take on it is that you can't stop kids hearing swearing but you can impress upon them that it's not big or clever and that if they preface every noun with an adjective beginning with "f" everyone will think they are as thick as, well, shit.

We had a couple of more elderly gents turn up about 15 mins into the game last Saturday. They have never sat there before and the usual incumbents were not there. Within 5 mins I had to ask them to stop using the 'F' word as my 7 year old nephew was sat next to me and behind them. In all fairness they did stop but I had to then put up with one of them staring at me and the other telling me he had watched United for over 40 years and he had never got into any arguments or upset anyone ever. I can safely say that I've never seen or heard a steward speak to any fans in the family stand about bad language and I don't think I ever will.

Did the one who did the staring have eyes in the back of his head?

I always find " a go and $hit yourself" one liner to be quite effective, when rarely required.

When someone asks me at 1800 at work on a Friday if I want to go for a beer and I reply "fuck yeah!"

Is that swearing or being expressive?

So only morons swear and yet your condoning violence?

If you take your 9 year old on the family stand then fair enough you shouldnt expect to hear swearing but anywhere else is fair game in my opinion.

The one thing that does still annoys me is when people still feel the need to continuously slag players off even when they are doing well. It is obvious that Porter has become a fans favourite in recent weeks and rightly so however i noticed on Tuesday night when he came on that people behind me we constantly on his back from word go even when he didn't have the ball. Personally i thought he did more in the 25 mins he played than Paynter did for the other 65 mins and although i am not his biggest fan and i know he isn't the most gifted footballers i can see how hard he try's and how much he wants to do well and succeed. Some of the language people use when having a go at there own players is completely out of order.

I don't know if the lady I am talking of is a member on this site, but I sat Infront of her in the Forest game. She was a disgrace from the start of the match till the end, now fair enough sitting on the kop you expect bad language but calling your own fans c**ts and telling them to F off is a disgrace. Forest scored the first goal 2 people stood up to go to the toilet, she claimed they was forest fans and shouted 'Iv seen you sc*bby c**ts'. Later in the game she told a fan to f*ck off who slagged off Flynn, about 5minutes after she shouted to sub Baxter because he's f*cking useless. The women is deluded, and with a child the age of 7 sat directly in front of her she should have been aware and kept her language down. Personally I don't care I'm not somebody to turn around and have ago or complain to the club about an individual, but if she goes off like that every game she needs telling. Thank god I don't sit near her regularly and if I ever get offered a free ticket on the kop I will be checking where I will be sat.

You should hear her when we get her home
