Disgraceful Chanting

Page 1 of 4

Yeah, ban chanting because this is the worst chant ever.
Does anyone really believe anyone who pays for a match ticket is jobless?

The only way to make chanting PC and non offensive is to ban chants about opposition fans and opposition manager.

We will soon get there.

Jesus H Christ!!!

A bit of banter from fans of all teams is expected AND respected by oppo fans
Mancs singing about Hillsborough and Scoucers singing about Munich is totally unacceptable just like Leeds fans have sung about Bradford
But ffs it a parody of your anthem, that’s all

Why do the BBC never actually say what it is they are offended by? They just mention a chant that was quite offensive, but don't tell the reader what the actual chant was, the reader then has to do a google search to find said chant and decide for themselves if they are in fact, offended.

I chose not to be offended, as it's probably one of the least offensive chants I've ever heard.

Fans of many clubs have been singing that chant since the 1980's.

Funny this is the first time anyone's been offended by it.

“ But ffs it a parody of your anthem, that’s all”

It’s not though. It’s a riff on the stereotype about Scousers being perpetually unemployed/unemployable, on the rob etc that stems back to the Thatcher years and latterly a shiite sketch by Harry Enfield that got boring to repeatedly hear decades ago.

Isn’t Tottenham one of the poorer parts of London with its own unemployment problems?

I've yet to read any fan of Liverpool or Everton complain about that song ever.

It’s like the cost of living - our levels of offence need to go up every year.

That’s why it was a Spurs supporters trust that issued that apology unprompted. No suggestion of complaints or offence from LFC fans. Keep up.

It’s got to the point of apathy. When someone repeats the same joke for 3 decades and still thinks it’s funny.

Where are Scousers offended? Doesn’t say we are/were anywhere in that article

Found this quite amusing, of all the crap Spurs fans sing including xenophobic slurs, I find it weird that this is the one the club has picked up on...

Liverpool is a far far nicer place than Tottenham so who cares anyway.

This "always the victims" mentality is really annoying.
It's not like your fans don't sing about Munich , is it?

Clearly you're a tad slow so let me break this down for you, no Liverpool fan has made a complaint about this. Tottenham Supporters Trust have proactively come out and spoken against it.

I personally couldn't give a shiiiiit that dumb fans sing dumb chants, it's sadly part of football and we're no better.

the OP in his own words has called it disgraceful. That at least implies a high level of offence. And if no one is offended then why is the THST apologising?

The OP is an Arsenal fan

You’d have to ask THST about that.
