Fan's chanting 'scabs'

And the fans in under the stand before the game chanting (in some considerable numbers) 'I'd rather be a p@ki than a scab' - shame on you.

Disgusting really. First thing I heard when I came into the ground was a load of mindless racist abuse. It's a fecking terrible thing.

The 'scabs' stuff - there's kids there shouting scabs who weren't even alive ten years after the strike ended, who didn't even know anything about it, who were shouting it just to be abusive.

I think if there is one thing that Margaret Thatcher would laugh her senile tits off at, would be the idea of one set of kids from an ex-mining community, perpetuating that chanting at another set of kids from an ex-mining community, and nobody chanting **** all at her. Isn't it time to put that **** to bed now?

I know, I know, it was sadly inevitable - and no doubt it will continue for some time yet. (shakrhead)

 

Finally someone with sense!!!

Really felt embarrased today because of it all!!

What the hell has scabs got to do with football and todays game anyway??? It happened 20 years ago ffs!

 

I pointed this out yesterday.

And got accused of 'pontificating' by some shitwit. Waste of breath, tbh.

 

i agree, those of us with no mining background think it's disgraceful nt

 

Well i was one of them shouting it mate!

I know the importance and rivalry minors had during the strikes.
Its a football match, its banter.

If ya dont like it dont go?

Coppers arent going to arrest them are they?

 

I heard &quot;Rather be a steward than a scab&quot;, sang shortly after a Forest fan got kicked out in the upper tier.</p>

Quite funny that.
</p>

 

I'm not your 'mate'.

I love my club - the ignorant and the abusive aren't going to stop me from attending. I go to the football for the football and the enjoyment I get from the game. Getting away with being an abusive ***** for ninety minutes doesn't make it ok. I think it's time for you to grow up kid.

 

Im an abusive *****, put up with it!!

fecking enjoyment sitting there all match being a borin bastad sounds enjoyable to me..
well its something your going to have to put up with for many years 'mate'!

 

I never shout abuse out at any football match. Especially when im with my Dad. Simply because i have RESPECT.

When i do shout its not aimed at opposition fans. Only the players when im trying to encourage them.

 

Your 18 and you still go to football matches with your dad?
Is that to make sure no nasty fans get you?

Some people just havent got a clue.

 

RE: Im an abusive *****, put up with it!!

Well at least you know that you're an abusive *****, and you obviously 'put up with it'. Self awareness is the first step towards enlightenment. You may end up a zen buddist.

 

Aye, but given the circumstances &quot;Rather be a steward than a scab&quot; was rather amusing (and a refreshing change from the usual lyrics) in the circumstances.</p>

As for respect, nah.
</p>

 

As a minors son..

growing up durung the strike and experiencing having **** all and seeing my parents now, still not fully recovered, I have no shame in showning those dirsty grabbing self richeous scabby Barstewards for what they are.

And the chants of Arthur Scargill is a ****** and theres only 1 maggie thatcher coming from the home ends shows that they know how deep it cuts in barnsley - it is my history and my heritage and I for one will stand and be counted and MARK MY WORDS willl still be standing at the end.

Where were you in '84?

 

respect??? whats this lad on about? dont bother goin t anymore away games son u might catch someone givin u a dirty look and there might not be no coppers to hide behind.....

 

dont you think he might take his dad?
i'd love to take my dad every week, he just cant manage it now.
he took me for years when i was a nipper and would still rather go with him now than any other person alive

 

Here'Here

Very well put, **** all the other ******* who believe its wrong to be abusve at football matches!

 

it was the racist chants he objected to nt

 

Again absoloutley stupid comment!!!

Do you not spend time with your Dad!!?? Is it weird to you to spend time with your dad at a football match??

 

My dad used to take me..
As soon as i was old enough i went with my mates,
theres some things you can do with your mates that you cant with your dad.

 

I like it Luka, atleast someone agrees with mi!
