Swearing Warnings?

The world has gone mad.
It’s full of hatred.
Football is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Also sweating is part and parcel of industrial language and the ritual of supporting Everton. This club would make a saint swear I tell you.
But things are turning for the worst generally, especially the cheating premier league, refs and general woke society.

I realise that Everton as a club need to generate funds to try and compete but the fans are being fleeced, that’s obviously another negative.

Coming to my twilight years and I must admit it’s not a world I will miss once the inevitable happens.

@GrandOldTeam - now you know what it feels like to get warnings on the forum here for 'swearing'. I once tested the system by posting **** (literally just the four asterisks) and got 10 warning points for it by some heavy-handed moderator!

Next, I'll be warning you for something someone else has done.

I've just went through all of your 14 warnings and you've not had one for that. Is this you telling fibs or admission of a multi?

The word is ‘persistent use of foul and abusive language’ - how else do you word it? They’ve literally use the word persistent.

Do you want a specific number of swear words allowed?

What constitutes persistent then?

What is persistent in one persons ears may not be the same to another?

Seriously, where I am, I haven’t heard anything that, imo, constitutes persistent foul or abusive language, yet we had a good smattering of the yellow cards in and around our seat/rows a few weeks ago - it’s pathetic.

I’ve took my kids the footy since they were 3-4, and warned them they might hear “naughty” words and people shouting at players and the refs, it’s a part of the game that I’ve known since I was a kid for gods sake. Hopefully, I’ve taught them what is right and wrong in most aspects of life, shame on me if I haven’t.

I wouldn’t dream of moaning about it unless it was anything over the top, like rascism or homophobia, and I certainly haven’t heard any of that, as if I had I’d confront it and call it out there and then, with whoever was spouting it.

From my perspective and what I have heard near me, it seems there has been some people reporting stuff that just shouldn’t have been reported, there’s no other way to look at it.

I’m sure watching Dwight McNeil attempt to play football against Sunderland would have triggered a persistent swearing warning for myself!

With var and everything else wrong with the game these days, this feels like another step in taking the game away from the core fans.
 
I just hope they get the right people, just imagine losing your ST if you had done nothing wrong and it was just the people around you didn't like you OR even more machiavellian, wanted your seat for a friend.

We all know the types that swear all through the game who these warnings should be directed to, opposed to the people that go off during a flashpoint (which I include myself in - usually at the referee) where I believe it isn't quite as noticeable, as everyone is up in arms screaming at the same time.

If they try to sanitise everything then it's just another excuse to jack it all in.

I say have some fun with it. See if those around you report you for shouting 'pish', 'cockapoo', 'melt face' for 90 minutes.

Got to have a laugh haven't you.
