Raheem sterling abuse

[r4h4al]

Sorry, are you suggesting it's OK to racially abuse someone if they celebrate scoring against your club?

If there's one thing that really winds me up about modern football, it's stuck in-the-80s dinosaurs who think "atmosphere", "banter" and "acting like a total [Insult Removed by Site Admin]" are the same things.

Yep agreed, that answers my question really.

Just don't mention people's skin colour, gender or sexual orientation and you'll probably avoid a lot of unnecessary abuse. It's not hard to work out.

If I remember correctly it was heightist and stoutist abuse ref Joe Kinnear.

So when an away team purposely celebrates in front of the home fans, time wastes and players are generally on a wind up we should just adopt the stuff upper lip mentality and appeal to them to act more gentlemanly in a non offensive manner?

Surely the abuse thing works both ways, I'm assuming this thread was started due to the discussion on talksport the other day? On some cases the abuse is warranted, some not surely?

A players celebrates in front of you which is irritating at best, therefore we can abuse his skin colour?

Agreed.

There are plenty of fans who are far too easily offended, despite being more than happy to dish out abuse from the safety of the stands.

That was it :thumbs: If memory serves it was originally toned down from "He's just a effing tee" :greensmile:

Neil Jenkins (Tyhee Slim) started that one in a pub in Luton before we lost the game 2-0 "He's short, he's fat he's had a heart attack" in response to Joe Kinnear commenting that people only moved to Devon to die.
