Swearing Warnings?

I can’t believe this is genuinely a thing! They need to knock this on the head quick. If you have anything about you, just explain to your kids that they might hear things at the game that are better left at the game. Just because they hear it, doesn’t have to mean they’re going to bounce into assembly on Monday morning and scream at the headteacher to “fu&7ing get into them - the’re 5h!t!”. World’s gone mad!

If you dont like swearing at the match dont go.
If you dont want your kids to hear swearing at a match dont take them
If your offended by swearing at the match go and watch bowls oor snooker instead

Whats this 'kin world coming to?

EDIT: Blame the club itself not the fans they are the ones making us swear a thousand times a game.

Its the same on the tv commentary. They put mics all around the pitch side and every time it picks up a bit of foul language the commentator is all apologies to anyone that is soft skinned and takes offense.
 

I cant wait to get mine tbh.

Nice little ball that can be lashed and bounced of the bonce the nearest anti-swearing Karen/steward/michale Keane or Nathan Patterson.

Or I might start collecting them and make a waistcoat out of them.

We’ve got some proper shithouse fans btw, if your not happy with something you’ve heard, deal with it there and then and confront the perp, instead of cryarsing and grassing to the club.

I would rather sit by a swearer than someone who doesn't react at all throughout the game.
I want to shake people who sit in silence, what's the point of them going?

I don't think it's an either/or - about thirty seconds into the Spurs game, Beto had his first touch of the game (a bad one!) and the guy behind me started SCREAMING "dogsh*te! Dogsh*te! Dogsh***te!!!" over and over and over. If he'd missed a sitter in the last minute it would have been extreme, but for his first touch of the game it was unhinged. I'd say that's definitely on the same level as the silent sitters for complete and utter non-support!

Oh yes, you're right, that type of person is worse than the silent type, sorry.
I was thinking more of the "normal" swearers not the head cases 🤣

The club should just outright say what the people have done to warrant these things. Because by keeping quiet they just leave it open to interpretation. If its racial or homophic in nature then then I'd like to know why they're being so shy about it. Shame those doing it. If however its just swearing (which is exactly what this is) then they might as well admit it. Just admit that they don't want us old school working class dinosaurs at the match anymore and would like us to either learn our place or move on for someone else to pay even more money for the privilege of watching the Merseyside Toffee Franchise playing soccer-ball.

I had a similar experience at the Spurs game and the near constant swearing directed at certain players annoys me. More often than not, this occurs after a slightly bad touch or losing possession when there is no danger from the opposition.

I do not swear but that does not mean that I take issue with people who swear occasionally, so long as the language used is legal. Like others have said, I also detest sitting in silence and will happily participate in most chants, unlike some of the supporters around me in the Upper South. I must also acknowledge my own hypocrisy, however, as I never start any chants and have never felt comfortable enough to do so.

I remember reading something in an Everton match day programme in the 70s. They were trying to reign in swearing then and said something like - we don't expect fans to chant 'Robert Latchford is rather spiffing' but try to tone it down a bit.

There's a few attitudes from the 70's still knocking about that have absolutely no right to be. I wonder if I can get an idea going...
