Quote: danny boy1 "Same here steady, bad language is unfortunately rife in all sport these days, but as with the incident that was blown out of all proportion when we played Crusaders, we will get slated more than others because we are an easy target.
I really do wish we could sing something positive at games and cut out the bad language, it's not good when we are trying to attract families to the sport, but having said all that, Cas should definitely not be singled out as there are far worse offenders, but the best way forward is just don't use foul and abusive language and give those with nothing better to do, the ammunition to castigate us once again.'"
Funnily enough the only ground where there is no systematic bad language chanting (by the home crowd anyway) is at Gilbert Brutus. There is one particular song aimed at the ref, used probably four or five times each season, along the lines of "Ref you are breaking our b@lls", or if the Ref is particularly bad, we sing the Millaise. All the chanting is to encourage the home team and there is NEVER any chant against the opposing team or supporters.
Having said that are chants are very limited: Catalans, Allez, Allez, Allez, The Santa Espina (a local folk song) and "Ils sont la".
I think that chants against the opposition must be a cultural thing in the UK.
