More verbal abuse charges?

[AbovetheI]

What's all this "no marks" and "jog on" jargon all aboot then?

[Rev Algenon Stickleback H]

The chant is below :

Sol, Sol, wherever you may be/You're on the verge of lunacy/And we don't
give a f**k if you're hanging from a tree/You Judas c**t with HIV

That is sick.

LOL @ football simpletons

sick indeed, but the "racism" angle being played out in the media, which is probably a big factor in why quite a few have spoken out against it, appears to have been assumed as there's nothing racist about it.

I think if the FA do take some action, then they need to be very specific in stating what it is exactly that's unacceptable, ot it'd be the thin end of the wedge in bringing in bans for any stick given to a player

[Wycombe Royal]

So is calling the linesman on Saturday a "malteser" racist and should I report the guy who shouted it on more than one occasion?

From memory we had "put the malteser back in the bag" and "who's the malteser in the black".

On top of that we had the usual foul language from him all match. Does he really think he is funny?

Why don't you try growing a pair and saying somefink to him rather than sneaking off and snitching to stewards

Nothing racist about it?

So the 'hangin from a tree' line couldn't possibly have a link to lynching then?

For the record, I'm not saying it necessary does, but to say that "there's nothing racist about it" feels a little bit dismissive at best.

Why should I get into an argument with him and risk getting in to trouble with the stewards myself? He's the one making the comments and he will have to deal with the consequences should I decide to report him.

Is lynching solely restricted to black men? I'm sure anyone can be lynched.

[Silver Fox]

No Spacey, it has been specific to black men since the success of 1970s comic Kenny

I have never understood why people like confrontation. Does it make you feel all big and macho? Does it cover up other inadequacies that you have? Personally I would rather leave it to those who are paid to deal with tossers like him.

Grow some man glands and have a word with him.

I don't get paid to, and I am not risking running in to trouble with our (at times) over zealous stewards.

They certainly can. I would however hope that you realise that historically it has a particular association with the black community.

If you do not realise this, then I suggest you read up on your American History from the Civil War through to about the 1960's....

Why is everyone saying this? Is Wycombe the only person to be hearing the guy? There must have been a good dozen people (at least) that would be within earshot and clearly none of them are saying anything.

I was sat in front of some morons at the Forest game, and while they weren't being racist the language was foul and had I been at the game with my nephew I would have had to leave. I wasn't about to say anything as there were at least half a dozen of them and I quite honestly don't want the aggro. Mrs. Hahnneman was sat a few places away with her 2 boys and again, why should she say anything to them? She's only little and would have just been laughed at. The police and stewards can hear what is going on and should deal with it themselves. On this occasion they did at least remove one of the offenders. But it took some doing and the lip they got back was unbelievable. So, a policeman quietly asks someone to refrain from using the bad language and he gets shouted at and abuse thrown his way... What then do you think I would have got had I turned round and asked them to stop?

[Dirk Gently]

Which is why more and more clubs are publishing a text number that supporters can report such things to in confidence.

Usually all most clubs need is the block, row and seat number and they'll investigate.

[Mr. Reading]

Just for the record, that's not what Spurs fans were singing. They were reported for that chant 2/3 years ago... old news!

[Wycombe Royal]

The stewards won't have heard this guy becaue he sits on the back row, and therefore there isn't a steward near him. He sits with a large group of people (at least 20) and seems to be known by a few more. I would guess that they are all 40 plus. He obviously thinks it is funny to say these things (occasionally he is funny) but he overstepped the mark on Saturday.

Yes, I do realise that there are historical associations with certain phrases, but this isn't America. We have had hangings in this country since and probably before the dark ages.

A hanging isn't necessarily a lynching. HTH.

Well, yes. But in the chant that Dirk quoted, there is no direct reference to lynching, just "hanging from a tree".
