I was also there, stood in the middle behind the goal, and heard nothing of the sort. Since I was with my 12-yo son, I'm generally alert to chants because I like to ensure he understands the context to them. I suspect that among the 1,100 blades there yesterday there were quite a few posters from here, and none of them seem to have heard it either, not did any of those watching on stream.

I fucking hate Neanderthal chanting generally, and I'll always willingly call it out where it happens. If it happened then whoever is responsible ought to be shown the door - but I also don't think we should manufacture outrage when it isn't needed.

If some of our fams

I’m not going to say any more on this because in the scheme of things happening around our world it’s not worth getting upset about, but, what I don’t understand is sceptism about a post from an honest fan, the chant happened, I was there, it’s as simple as that, let’s move on

After the hammer that George Long got from our very 'own' on the Kop, nothing suprises me.

When they decide to turn, anyone is fair game, red and white shirt or not.

Yes, all I’m saying is can us, Blades, not be so unbelievably shit, I remember when we just sang Blades songs to be better than the fans in the other end and to back the boys thru 80’s 90’s 00’s and so on, I’m still middle aged and still daft but ffs, this new generation, BORING

Yeah, your generation of football fans were sound as anything, hardly any monkey chants or violence at all...

Fascinating isn’t it? Tribalism even rejects their own sometimes.

Oh of course your generation just sprays it across the internet as well as in the stands, yeah, we were all terrible back then, I never learn from my naivety from the wisdom of those people that folks like me have positively educated, people like you, I presume you are educated???

Can't make any sense of this. I was responding to your comment about how Blades used to "just sing Blades songs to be better than the fans in the other end and to back the boys", which is just obviously a crock of shit. Fans were far more toxic back then and commonly abused players in ways which are considered unacceptable now.

If you're going to post about fans being disrespectful, why lay into the younger generation for no reason?

Exactly. There have always been toxic chants. The old John Street Terrace West back in the day.

''Small town in Asia'' to Bradford fans 1989
''What's it like to shag your kids'' to Boro fans 1990 after the child abuse scandal in Teeside

Nowadays such jibes are online only

I remember Yorkshire cricket ''fans'' (well Leeds scum tbh) throwing bananas at the late David ''Syd'' Lawrence at Bristol in the 80s.

I went to Darlo v Cambridge 1989/90 in the cup and the abuse Dion Dublin got was apalling.

Football fans like all other folk can be vulgar and thoughtless.
