Swearing at football

Looking forward to that one

 

Can't see a problem

if someone is a little delicate with respect to fruity language they should go and sit in the family section (where swearing should be banned). If you sit anywhere else, then you should expect to hear the odd expletive. Tough s**t.

 

Re: Can't see a problem

People keep saying this but don't you need to be well, a family (as in with kids) to sit there?

 

Good point

I've no idea whether a non-family group would be allowed in the family enclosure, probably not.

I do swear occasionally but I always apologise to any ladies sat near me.

 

I enjoy swearing. I think we should do more.

 

Next it will be - do you have to jump and down and shout when we score? Cant you just sit there and clap like the rest of us good souls?

If you don't like swearing go in the family stand imho. Its part and parcel of football and the more it gets taken away from the common man the worse its all getting.

A little cussing does nobody any harm and it probable helps people de-stress. Just don't take it too far is all i say.

 

I see it as education for the young lads. I sit in the West & it's where all the young teams who play at half time or whatever are now sat - I'm providing a service, expanding their vocabulary.

 

The only time I heard my dad swear was at games...scared the **** out of me first time I heard him.

Sadly the game is becoming more and more middle class, they'll frown upon aggressive clapping next.

 

bit like the job of the builder to lob a porn mag out into the side of the road for the young uns to find lol all part of the circle of life.

 

I think a lot of people take a Saturday afternoon at the football as a place to vent the frustrations of a ****y week at work, so for me im happy to turn the other cheek when im with my kids and would rather they did the most of their swearing at Oakwell along with mostly like minded people. However, if someone specifically asks you to tone it down for whatever reason, then i think you should attempt to comply(as much out of good manners as anything).

On a related note, this sort of conversation always reminds me of a story my uncle tells about when he used to attend Oakwell in the Brewery stand in his late 20's(hes about ready for retiring now). During one particular game where the ref was a bit on the dodgy side(things never change eh?) and he let rip with a tirade of "effs and jeffs", at the man in black, when out of no where my Grandad(his dad), appeared and proceeded to give him a clip around the ear and give him a bollocking for swearing! His mates had a field day with it! Then, in the next breath my grandad turned around and called the lines man a useless f*****g B*****d for giving an offside...

 

Swearing is the sign of a poor education. If you can't make a statement without swearing, keep your mouth shut.

 

Can you if you don't have kids?

 

I can make statements without swearing.

And with swearing.
