As an Evertonian you cannot be expected to go through what we have and watch what we have had to watch AND be expected to hold your tounge .

I mean what adjectives can be used to describe doucoure ? Or what verbs to describe what Harrison is doing? If you are allowed to swear ?
 

There was a lad behind me in the Park End, who seems to have disappeared this season, and TBF he was over the top with it. Not sure I've ever been bothered by swearing at the match at any other time, but every other word from him was "see you next tuesday". Literally every insult he shouted out was something about the player as the target of his ire followed by that word. So someone was a "bald see you next tuesday", a "Scottish see you next tuesday", or a "cockney see you next tuesday" - you get the picture. Reckon he genuinely did it 20 to 30 times every game. Nobody ever said anything, but it was the only time I've ever thought someone was crossing the line with how acceptable it was. Having he said that, he screamed "Food bank see you next tuesday" at Marcus Rashford and I nearly spat my Bovril everywhere
 

I've heard that ladies ears are much more dainty and sensitive than our man ears too. When I cheer, I make sure it's a whisper, as I quickly slip on my clapping gloves that are designed to pad out the noise of my manly hands banging together.
 
As long as there's no racist of homophobic malice, I think it's fine, in fact I kind of miss it.
At MLS games here you get warnings and then booted out if you're swearing.
Part of the reason I gave up on watching the Revs, How do you expect me to sit through that dross without cursing.
 
Acceptable or not, it's one of the lighter parts of the big, bad world. I never really tried to shelter my kids from things like that.
