I didn't like the homophobia myself. 114636[/snapback] Why, what have they ever done to you ??? There'll be an independant interview soon with the campaign to right the wrongs of the phantom texter. Not that the text of the txt will be seen becasue txt talk is banned (a bit like me)

True, and them that are called Donald run round with no troosers, perv's the lot of them

You've gone too far. Take that back! 114609[/snapback] but but but......it's true, even the McChavs are allowed to play golf on proper courses with proper grass and bunkers and 18 holes !!!!!!!!!

They let you (and kids) play on their golf courses in jeans and trainers!!!!!!!! DISGRACEFULL

I think that used to be true but it's definitely changing, a fair number of posters on the boards I frequent are posting about their sons latest soccer "tourney" etc etc As for the padding thing, I don't even want contemplate that argument again, being an american footy fan of many years standing I've been going around that bush so to speak gazillions of times, I'm well dizzy. 114565[/snapback] Hey, I like American football as well, I just don't like the way that our football has been talked about in the past by US sports fans. I don't like Rugby, I just don't get it, but it's obviously not shit or you wouldn't get so many people watching it. 114569[/snapback] There is still the "saackr sucks" crowd, but they are a dying breed methinks (slowly mind), there's nearly as many people slag baseball as soccer on my regular Yankee board. I think it's mainly the older guys who are entrenched, as the younger blokes have kids that play it, they get involved, lets face it no-one does junior sports as intensly as the yanks, and hence the seed change in opinion. (well thats my theory ) It's a great game for a lot of kids that don't get to play gridiron, you don't have to be a brick shithouse to play and you don't need to buy a load of expensive kit.

I've noticed from some of the NFL boards I post on that there is a growing number of footy (saackr) fans appearing, slowly but surely there are more and more. Most young kids play it, and I think it is innevitable that it's going to become a mainstream sport in the US and when it does, the rest of the world's gonna lose the superstars. An awfull lot of people are getting pissed off with baseball and basketball so there is a gap developing for footy to fill, and last time I was in the States I was amazed at the number of pitches I saw, seemed like every flat bit of grass had goalposts on it. At the moment the standard may not be that high, but if you have a league with eqivalently skilled players across the teams you tend to get a decent competition which in turn breeds excitement and exposure etc etc

Agree with that statement, but I'd rather he was in place for the last 4 or so games this season to have a look at what he's got before the summer player merry-go-round starts. As for Europe I don't think so, Intertoto is the only likely route.

Well, here in the States, while your right to free speech is somewhat protected by our Constitution; marching down Castro Street in San Fransisco chanting, "Death to Fags!" (protected free speech) isn't very wise. You are liable to get your hair parted with a metal pipe. If such conduct (the demeaning chants) occurred at one of our stadiums, the loudmouths perps typically end up covered with beer and in angry verbal exchanges with people who came to enjoy the game, not to listen to some drunken assholes smart off about someones sexuality. They are soon escorted out. The ticket to the game allows you to enjoy the game; it doesn't give you licence to say/do whatever you want. My $.02 113657[/snapback] Or your arse cheeks 113666[/snapback] Homophobic tbh. You wouldn't catch me saying such horrible things BTW Hugh is a Mackem, he IS a yank as well so he's doubly cursed, he might even be gay. His "wife" is Norwegian although I think she's called Olaf

What? It's not the right wingers you have to worry about with guns. It's the left wingers who run the media who want to piss on the Constitution that guarantees our God-given rights... not the "rights" that the government allows you to have. That's why the right wingers love their guns. So, toonpack. How long til you get banned from this one??? (SKOL VIKINGS!) 113642[/snapback] Oh great a YANK That depends on the graciousness of the Lord Gemmill and his rod of righteousness

I think I heard him. Was he sat towards the aisle in your row (you're in J, right?)? Wasn't convinced I was hearing what I was hearing but you've just confirmed it. 113630[/snapback] Was that Leazes level 7? I never saw him but my mate said some fat twat in an England strip was zeig heiling doing the whole tache and salute thing. Nah, Milburn Level 7 mate. There was also a bloke in a Spurs top and a bloke in a Liverpool top (????) who were obviously together, who got shifted by the stewards just after Spurs scored. Presumably they were being relocated for celebrating, the mongs! 113635[/snapback] disrespectfull to disabled people tbh

Aye but his bottomless pit of passion for the cause will overcome that won't it.................erm.............

Got you a permanent IP ban as well. What a dickhead. 113599[/snapback] Like I could give a shit, but Bloody hell censorship in all it's glory. It's OK to post someone's personal details but drop a bit of bait and KAZAM Bunch of bloody stupid kids over there anywhere. 113602[/snapback] You posted "Thank fuck for AIDS" in a thread discussing homophobia. What did you expect?? 113604[/snapback] To be precise I posted "thank fuck for aids eh?" with a fishing smiley Clearly a wind-up, but the collective obviously didn't see it that way. Anyway it's not important, there was never much decent footy crack over there and seeing I don't play any version of championship manager I was always WAY out of the conversation 113606[/snapback] Stick around mate, we could do with some decent members like you. 113608[/snapback] Fuck off! Don't lumber us with him and then fuck off back to N-O! 113614[/snapback] You fuck off, I was invited here when this place re-opened. It's all Scottish Mags fault

A bit of fisting never did anyone any harm. You think I'm bad you wanna try being a lefty on some right wing American forums for a laugh, the scary thing is those bastards have guns 113612[/snapback] If you say so. 113613[/snapback] Editting smack (to give it it's proper title) is for children.

You don't think "Jenas takes it up the arse" was sang with vitriol, you don't think it was intended to be an insult? Do you think the chants would stop if he came out and admitted he was gay? You can't tell the difference between taking the piss out of someone's race or sexuality and the fact they are tall? I wasn't surprised by some of the posts on N-O as I kind of expect it over there, but I have to say this coming from you surprises me. 113565[/snapback] maybe I didnt put the point forward very well, is it homophobic to state that someone takes it up the arse? what constitutes homophobic chanting? is the following racist? "Shola is black", its quite clear that "Shola is a black ba....." would be racist but Im not sure the first is. Therefore is "JJ takes it up the arse"? If Meenzer was to sing it would that make him homophobic? What are we allowed to take the piss out of these days then? and frankly what makes the abuse of someone being tall or short any less hurtful? can we not sing the likes of "wheres your drunken centre half?" if an alcoholic player is around? Keep going the way we are and soon there will be no banter at matches, players get paid shitloads of money, one of the downsides of this is they have to face thousands of fans who want to see them fail, week in week out. How you live your life shows in how people treat you. If a player was straight but enjoyed taking a phone up their arse would that be ok to rip the piss out of? 113574[/snapback] I agree, and I don't know what the acceptable line is and when it's crossed. However, reading on N-O it's clear a lot of people who think the chant is OK are clearly prejudiced, going on about "unnatural" acts and the like. On the one hand, this type of chant is not going to help homosexual players come out the closet and start being true to themselves (which will have a knock on effect with the general population), but on the other hand banning it is going to make football grounds increasingly sterile. Difficult one. However, I think the chants should at least try and be humourous like the "taxi for Rockshots" one. I did laugh at that. 113577[/snapback] That'd be me Got Gemmill baaa baa in a right tissy The point is you don't know how many people get a kicking because of their appearance because it doesn't make the news, but I'd guess there's more gingas and fat lads beaten up than gays every week

And I don't think I've ever been called a 'knobette' before. Class. 113555[/snapback] If the cap fits SOOO what's the difference between shouting "Jenas likes it up the arse" or "you fat bastard" or "sit down pinochio" I would REALLY like to know.

Totally acceptable IMO, no worse than "you fat bastard" or "Sit down pinochio" etc etc. Awaits head sheep Gemmil to baaa baaa in on this one 113535[/snapback] Don't worry yourself. All homosexuals will die out soon what with their inability to breed. You fucking numpty 113538[/snapback] I NEVER said they'd die out shortly you selective reading knobbette, I simply pointed out that the inability to breed tends to mean a limited future in evolutionary and natural terms 113542[/snapback] Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, tbh. 113545[/snapback] And that's supposed to mean what ?????????????????
