Well leefer i've sang that mcguinley is a Wanker and smith is a gready bastard. So should i be banned? It's foul and abusive language. I think you are missing the context too. It's a football match, campbell was an ex player. Ex players yet abuse. They should deal with it.

The chant doesn't seem that bad, you also have to cut them some leeway as its difficult coming with stuff that rhymes and make sense - maybe they had to go with something a bit more offensive than they were planning purely on a musical composition basis.
What pisses me off is that if a fan does something bad they get banned from grounds, yet when a player does something bad they get a slap on the wrist. If a player commits assault (punches, elbows, stamps, kicks) on the pitch against another player they normally get no more than a 3 match ban, if a fan does the same to another fan they'll get a minimum 1 year ban from all football grounds and a criminal record.
Before anyone says that's different - it isn't. If anything its the players that should get the harsher penalty.
Yes, I thought of that when I saw Ankegren whining about being pushed in the back by Millwall fans. They shouldn't have been on the pitch etc etc but I still say he should have been prosecuted for chucking a coin into the Town End earlier this season. As should the dickhead who threw it at him in the first place, obviously, but just because it was thrown at him doesn't entitle him to throw a coin into a group of fans who probably had nothing to do with it. And there's a lot more chance of an innocent person getting hurt by him throwing a coin into a group of people than there is from someone pushing him in the back. But the media were quick to jump all over Millwall for a bit of pushing, no mention whatever of his reckless and criminally stupid actions at the time he was chucking coins about

Batch..i know ware your coming from,i give plenty of stick to ex players..but ive seen the clips of the abuse Cambell got and talked to Spurs fans who were ther and at other matches and a small minority went way over the top...ime not going to whine and stand up for people like that and the Spurs and Pompey fans ive talked to have no sympathy for those picked uo on cctv.

They prosecuted Duncan Ferguson for the headbutt against a Raith Rovers player in 1995, but since then the Police have decided that fans have to set a better example than the players.
Leefer, if a 14 year old see's his dad chanting something then surely he will? I used to copy my dad at football. Now he's got a 4 year ban? I think kids get away with a lot of things too lightly (like drunkenly beating people to death), but this is not right.
Its just a song.

To be totally honest if I was earning £100k a week then they could say what they want about me. I'd piss myself laughing at the AIDS thing when I was shagging some fit strumpet. If they said anythnig about my family, however, thats a very, very different thing. As Spencer says its a song and I actually find it quite amusing. I find the Brighton stuff amusing. i find the Welsh songs amusing. If someone calls me a fat bastard I find it amusing. Fucking hell Sol, lighten up a bit when you're counting your cash.

The last thing I want is for this country is for us to go the same way as America, where everyone takes themselves far too seriously. Where everyone is nice, but no one means it.
People should be allowed to express themselves. Especially at football grounds. That is what makes football interesting beyond XI vs XI.
Im not homophobic, but I will chant songs at Brighton because it is something we might be able to get under their skin about. I think its not getting at gay people, its possibly getting at Brighton fans. We are different and we should recognise that and sometimes exploit it. Lower league football has to be more than one shit team against another.

The worst thing a player can do when they get stuff like that chanted at them is to react to it, it just lets the fans know they've got to them in which case they will carry on with it. Either ignore it or play along with it and they will stop soon enough as it gets boring for them.
I don't think Campbell did himself any favours letting them prosecute the fans responsible, I can see him getting the same or worse in the future. Maybe they will tone the words down a bit (or wear a scarf over their mouth so no one can prove they joined in) but the level of abuse will increase as they know they pissed him off.

Sol, Sol wherever you may be We retract the claim you have HIV You are also straight we all agree But you're still a cunt of the first degree
I'd like to see the fuckers try to arrest anyone for chanting that. Except maybe for the cunt bit. Maybe twat instead?
I'm thinking I should post it on a Tottenham forum, anyone know a good one?
