you dont have a "high horse" to get on...
......

Very few clubs do, including your own, clearly. So stop being a tw.@t.

Since when has the Y word been derogatory and insulting ???Add ish and you are talking about a language, Also used as a a term of endearment when greeting each other, Spoken by communities of people from Armenia, South Western Russia, Eastern parts of the old Haubsgurg empire and as far south as Albania,, I so like it when people from another culture speaking a different language decide what is offensive,,,, A language commonly spoken, Not as common now seeing as Hitler and Stalin more or less wiped them out.

im not condoning anyone who chants rubbish..
perspective is what im asking for..
nobody near me chanted anything rascist or particulary abusive.. bit of swearing etc, not the end of the world, it happens at football..
the saville stuff is old hat and at best its now boring..
its unneccessary and offensive and worse because its all been done to death.. same as the munich/galatasaray or the hillsborough chants.. like i said morons just trying to get some attention that they fail to get in "real life"..
the bbc are kicking the ars- out of all this stuff now and it will be repeated because its getting attention.. the chances of anyone being able to "identify" a few hundred or even maybe a couple of thousand of these berks singing or chanting this stuff and then being able to "prove" it and deal with it are very slim..

if you dont read posts properly, you will always make yourself look an ars- frank.. congratulations, you have done it again...

im not apologising for berks at huddersfield town...they have lots of people surrounding them in their lives, apologising for them and making excuses for them, they dont require me to assist..

Unfortunately Aurans, like the abbreviation for someone from pakistan it has been used as a derogatory term and is viewed as such , rather than a description of a people

Thanks for demonstrating your Wikipedia skills. Now search the Internet for as to why some find it offensive and you will get your answer.

How about we all chill out, as i said before this is the beeb muckraking, not us

Tottenham Hotspurs fans dont seem to mind too much, If you go down near there when they are playing you can see loads of em in Y*d army t-shirts,,, An area inhabited by lots of jews, A football club who will have had a lot of jewish chairman, Directors and players,,,! Are we now saying that Spurs fans who wear the Y*d army t-shirts are anti - semetic themselves ? Strewth.

Agreed High,after the spurs incidents the press know it gets attention,as above have said a few idiots chanting doesn't represent the whole fanbase.

I dont do Wickipedia pal, I have a degree in history, And am a bit of a buff on it,

Aurans.........people who are....can !!
people who aren't ....can't .. at least not in this PC barmy country

Exactly H, Its as offensive as calling an Irishman, Paddy or Mick, And Scots, Jock or Jimmy,,,,,, Saying it is anti -semetic, My arris,,,

or even an arabian a r aghead, T,E would take offence at that

My comments were directed at the Beeb, although on the TV News now...'complaints from Leeds fans....'

It's only a matter of time before they ban all singing and chanting at football.

I think maybe it was just a few Leeds fans who thought they might make mischief for Town by making complaints...a small minority again.

95% of us footy fans are normal decent folk...but no doubt a hefty fine will follow from the FA...it's killing the enjoyment all this stuff to be honest..In the past we've called players fat, bald, thin, ginger....but now we have p.c. we can't even crack Irish jokes anymore.. we can't call a blackboard what it is and we can't collect Gollies from Robinsons' jam....

The minority rule.....God help us all....

The problem is the words normally only get used as an insult, so that is what they have come to mean.

Lads at work who are British born Pakistanis regularly call themselves by the shorter version,,, No doubt it was an offensive term if you were from India, What is next, Racist to call cars from Japan J*p import cars ,,,,, Sorry i mean Japanese import.

Jacko.
"I think maybe it was just a few Leeds fans who thought they might make mischief for Town by making complaints...a small minority again."
Behave yersen

although i do agree with the remainder

I wouldnt use the word "ra*head", Nor do i chant Y*d at Leeds fans,,, Obvious where the connection came from, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Jewish cemetery near the ground, Lots of Jewish throughout Leeds and did you not have a chairman who was Jewish ??

I can't believe I have to hand over a monthly fee to the BBC. They make the "journalism" of the Yorkshire Evening Post look like Pulitzer Prize winning stuff. How can such a so-called "reputable" corporation consistently get away with these lazy, sensationalist stories?! They really get on my wick.

Unsurprisingly it's the same names from the Leeds board that are dampening their gussets over this whilst the more sensible ones see it for what it really is, good evening Highland by the way

On a different note altogether, the fact Towton physically sheets his pants the minute he spots a Town poster is becoming a huge source of amusement in my life at the moment. I'm such a child

There is and we did

Evening Champers, this has been blown out of all proportion by the beeb and by folk on here, even your own fans trying to make excuses for what we all know to be a bunch of prats revelling in their moment of notoriety.

It's all rather silly isn't it...all this name calling, all
this political correctness gone mad?
It's becoming a fashion...it hardly means a thing all
this racial slurring of individuals and groups...its lost
its meaning....racial discrimination and anti-semetic
attitudes and policies mean something when people
are transported in goods trains to concentration
camps and gassed...not when some half-wit
football supporter chants something he probably has
no idea of the history or the consequences of what
he's chanting...at the present time there is enough
neurosis about racial discrimination to fill hundreds
of mental institutions....I know it's a forum but you're
all giving it a seriousness it doesn't deserve...but
then again you maybe all 'fashionable' in the context
of the neurotic times we live in?!

Not all of us Jim, the reference to blackboards and Robertsons jam has been made already

I heard nothing untoward but I sit up the gods so I rarely do. The only chant I really remember was the "should have gone Christmas shopping" one from the Leeds end which made me smile both at the time, and as I write this.

I wouldn't put it past our idiot minority. I've heard much more offensive garbage come out of their mouths in my time, especially on away trips to Valley Parade. I'm sure I don't have to highlight the subject matter of such chants.

It's time that the more responsible of supporters took a stand against any of this kind of behaviour. I think it was actually a Leeds fan after your infamous trip to Sheffield Weds that suggested the notion of a text number that allows you to confidentially alert the police control room at stadiums to any anti-social behaviour in certain sections of the ground. For example, "Block 4, row J, racist chanting"

The police can then move in and nab the culprits without the person reporting the offence being open to the fear of reprisal. Can't be too hard to implement surely?

Talking in a general sense H...not specifically aimed
at everyone on this thread!
