    To be fair I would say 90% of the away following today were singing scabs

    would you say 90% of them were miners during the strike, or even of adult age during the strike?

    Does it really matter, who cares if people want to shout scab, then let them?

    Depends whether you have any wish to be a sensible human being. Or be treated like one in return.

    If you don't, then carry on chanting.

    No I wouldn't

    So we can only chant about something if you lived through those times

    My family were affected massively by the miners strike that's good enough for me

    I don't get involved with the scab chants myself. Never have, but it was quite funny watching the reaction of the forest fans today.

    At the beginning of the game they just laughed it off, but when it started up again after we scored, it really got under their skins, and quite a few of them were quite angry

    What a surprise. A historical event earns a town/city a nickname. It's got diddly squat to do with how many Forest or County fans actually match the description. The PC brigade can huff and puff as much as they like, they aren't going to stop me and many others using that word. If it touches a few raw nerves of family members here or in N********m along the way, even better.

    Ps. I'm 50 by the way.

    No worries pal. Thanks for getting back to me. Never been called PC before, so that's a new one.

    Not sure why a highlights package should lead to infighting and arguments. Live and let live.

    Re the scab chants. Initially I didn't bother as the strike didn't affect me personally. But after numerous "you'll never work again", "sign on the dole", "we pay your benefits" chants from the odious forest chav element, with accompanying waving of ten pound notes, I them joined in. As did many others. If that makes us childish then fair enough.

    Not infighting mate. Just wondered why kids chant it. Turns out it's grown men as well. Each to their own.

    It's like some Liverpool fans chant about Munich. Totally irrelevant to anyone at the ground from a personal perspective but distasteful for all those who went through it, or who had their family on the brink through that period.

    People can chant what they want. It's a free world. If you enjoyed it and had a good day then that's all good...

    funny thing is,percentage wise notts wernt the biggest scabs,leicestershire was,out of their entire coal field only thirty men were on strike.

    I've met some good men from the notts coalfield who did the full twelve months,i've a friend who worked at moorgreen colliery in south notts,he was one of twenty men who were on strike there,the rest were scabby tw ats.Men like him are true hero's to the working class.

    It's nothing like the Liverpool chant about Munich. One is having a go at someone's class traitor ancestry and the other is taking the piss out of a tragic loss of life.
