ok , its a 'bad' word , but cmon , its seen and heard almost every week during a televised game by one player or another
watch a premier league football gam with the so called multi millionaire roll models on the pitch !!!
industrial language can , and will be heard in lots of situations we encounter in our every day lives and no matter how much we want to try and protect the kids precious hearing its going to happen , always has , always will .
its a song thats sung occasionally , surely people have more important things to worry about ? , if you was sat behind somebody and they are giving it the beef every other word , then yes you are within your rights to say something i suppose , but lets have some perspective here'"
Yes lets have some perspective here. This thread is not about the occasional use of bad language. It is about organised chanting that causes offence to many people and at the last two home games has led to stewards being obliged to approach a section of the crowd to ask for restraint. There was also a general reminder about the use of bad language in the stadium issued by the stadium over the tannoy. I can only conclude that you are somebody who condones the behaviour and chooses to ignore the stadium rules yourself.

| i will swear out loud during a game at certain times , yes , so i am IL DIAVOLO ban me for life
glass houses and stones spring to mind
all the people complaning about a WORD in a SONG really need to have a very clear conscience regarding ANY organisations rules they are involved with
examples.......
company car drivers , ever fiddled your mileage claim ? thats tax fraud
ever lifted a bit of stationry from the office? , theft
put the extra hour down on the over time sheet? , falsefying documentation
etc etc etc
lighten up people , you will live longer

You are still missing the point. This is not about the occasional swear word in the heat of the moment.
Oh and by the way I do have a clear conscience about other rules. You need to find a better excuse for condoning this.

| I don't think people are quite getting it. nohalfbacks' is a saint and has never broken any rule ever, hence why we all need to look up to him and take a leaf out of his book.

Calling me a saint is an insult! I'm a Warrior!

So you condone it. Fair enough, it is your choice.
Maybe nobody has complained about the Warrington song before and I certainly don't want to get drawn into another deviation.
On speeding, I would expect to receive a penalty. I don't think the copper would let me off if I said ' its just a speeding office, not genocide, chill'.

"Delicates"? Jesus, this is like the playground, where children tease other children into being badly behaved. Do you (I won't say did you for obvious reasons) call people who do well at school "swots" and tell them they aren't "cool."
Great post I entirely agree. I stopped going to watch Everton because the language was constant and vile. Would all these people prefer a stadium full of well behaved families or 2000 thugs?
The poster compares genocide to swearing but it would be interesting to know where he draws the line and once the line is blurred who knows where the line is!

You've never sung a song at Wigan containing swearing? The ones that Donna listed earlier?
'" ]Obviously people don't think they're acceptable, hence this thread.
It's something that's been brought up a few times this season.'"]
There are loads of songs sung at Wigan with swearing and most people don't bat an eyelid because they're established over many years of being sung. Worse things happen at sea.

| Quote: pie.warrior "I haven't commented on this yet as have experienced both sides of the situation, using the words in a song can lead to other consequences if it gets out of hand. A couple of years ago at an away game and there were 3 youths about (18-20yrs old) the songs were sung and the odd tasty word was used in context with the verses. After the singing those same youths continued to use F and C words in general rants at the ref, other fans and opposition players. I had my daughter and partner with me and asked kindly if they could tone it down a little, I received tirade of foul mouthed abuse as the reply. I asked once more and as one of them stepped threateningly forward into me I slammed my open hand upwardly under his jaw. He sagged like a sack of spuds and his so called friends left him on the floor as they disappeared. I was not proud of my actions and my partner was shocked by them as she had never seen me swear or lose my temper. ( it was a reflex action due to my armed forces training). I immediately sat him up and then went to the stewards to get him assistance, since that day I have not taken my daughter or partner to a game as I do not wish to put them in a threatening position again. This scenario led on from youths thinking it was okay to use abusive language without consideration for others.....'"
Most shameworthy post on the thread. You don't like something so you uppercut the flip out of someone? Nice lesson to teach your child.
You'll find that violence isn't allowed in the stadium so you should have been thrown out.

| Whichever way you want to look at it. It's not BIG and it's not CLEVER. Like the Gelling chant, it was funny for about 1 minute, after that it became embarrassing.
As I said change it to
Five times in a roooow
Five times in a roooooooow
You went and lost it
Five times in a roooow
In fact change it to
Five times in a roooow
Five times in a roooooooow
Saints went and lost it
Five times in a roooow
and it could be sung anywhere.
Can you not see it's obviously alienating fans at the moment.
If it was sung as I have proposed I think it it would unite fans.
