Football scum on public transport.

[SpookyFrank]

And without meaning to sound like Boris Johnson, why are you even allowed to drink on trains? I personally find the smell of beer-sodden fat people far more offensive then the smell of cigarettes (to say nothing of the godawful sound of the fuckers trying to speak) and yet smoking anywhere except at the bottom of the fucking sea is now a capital offence, whilst drinking a whole bottle of gin on an hour's train ride is perfectly acceptable

 

[themonkeyman]

dont think it is now though

 

[SpookyFrank]

nowt to do with class, everything to do with respect for other people who are trying to enjoy themselves

Quite so. Several people have mentioned Chelsea fans as being particularly horrid, and you can only afford to go to Chelsea games regularly if you have a selection of mansions to remortgage for the tickets.

Implying that drunken cuntishness is exclusively a working class pursuit is what should get you lynched by the class war mob IMO.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Another case in point; rugby fans are often toffs and invariably twats.

not really helping your case on the class front with this comment, but the rest has been pretty sound

I have some stirling mates who love their footie and they're great people - it does seem though like football attracts arseholes like nothing else.

I guess it's a historical thing.

All started when we entered Europe apparently (fuck that sounds so Daily Mail )*

Fans used to walk past each other at half time to the other goal end, in them days (marrrrvlous, wasn' it?, isn it? jumpers for goal post etc etc).




*Might be bollock just what I've 'erd.

I am far more pissed off that my local police force is paid to look after the outside of football grounds at cost to the local populace while they pay these surplace twats kicking a ball around thousands of pounds a week.

Football clubs should be forced to pay for every single copper required to look after their fans and away fans.

If they can't afford it, they don't get to play.

Cheers for posting here Dravinian, reminded me to put you back on ignore you dull pro hanging tit.

Today I've had the dubious pleasure of being on a rail replacement bus service.

One hour of sheer fucking torture thanks to a group of a dozen pissed, foul mouthed, inconsiderate, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, gobshite surplus football fan scum.

Highlights include repeated renditions of The Jam's Going Underground the only words of which they knew were 'going' and 'underground'.

Many a happy bellowed chorus of "Ooooo baby... Oooo! Ah!... I wanna know-ow-ow if you'll be my girl"

Countless repetitions of 'Here we go, here we go, here we go' and not forgetting the oh so fucking amusing 'The wheels on the bus go round and round'

So which songs made up the 'racist, misogynistic, homophobic' bits?

My thoughts entirelly. Can't see any bigotry in that. Just a bit of cheerful singing.

I agree entirely.

Football seems to be a word that excuses almost anything and, even on this here thread, people are even slightly taking the piss out of the original point. But why should the rest have to tolerate this behaviour?

sounded like a fair point to me. Perhaps you could explain why football clubs shouldn't foot the bill for the bill without being a cock?

I put that prick on ignore ages ago.

The fact that we had an argument where I pointed out his only argument against the death penalty was based on a moral opinion that not everyone shares....that makes me pro-hanging.

Apparently pointing out how stupid his argument is, means you must hold the opposite opinion....usual kind of childish stupidity you expect on the internet, and why I have him on ignore.

 

[isvicthere?]

No time for any racist/mysogynistic/homophobic shit - though its not quoted.

However public mouthy singing in general isn't inherently reprehensible. You've got to let rip now and then, just like people letting off fireworks at midnight one day a year, though that irritates many.

Was it so bad? (Not trying to dispute) Or was it just ear-bending?

Who were they? Sorry WHO WERE THEY? Might shed a lot of light.

Longdog lives in Hull, who lost 2-0 away to Everton, so it was probably them on their way back from Merseyside.

Why the fuck should normal humans have to put up with pondlife like this?

I have a solution... Direct rail links to football stadia transporting the oxygen thieves to an enclosure surrounded with twenty foot electrified razor-wire fences where they can be herded in to watch a pig's bladder being kicked up and down a field for ninety minutes.

Given their penchant for acting like a bunch of fucking animals I suggest they be transported in locked cattle trucks and on the return journey be left in a siding with the rest of the freight until such a time as they can be delivered to their homes without pissing off people who have IQs higher than a retarded amoeba... about 4am would probably be about right. If they die from exposure so much the better.

Don't bother telling me they are an exception I've seen this sort of cretinous nonsense more times than I care to remember.

Oh... and just for the record my lack of interest in sport is no different to your lack of interest in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach... I don't care means I don't care and therefore I don't support any fucking team.

And one last thing... 'You' didn't play well. 'You' weren't on the field you wanker. You're no more responsible for the outcome of a football match than I am for the outcome of the Battle of Britain you fucking moron.

and THAT was just the TEAM coach!

 

[Dravinian]

The clubs do pay.

No they don't.

They only pay for coppers...inside the football ground.

All those coppers at the train stations, all the coppers lining the streets, these are paid thru the council tax by local residents.

On that basis people should have to pay to attend demonstrations and pubs should have to pay for policing on a Friday and Saturday night. Its quite a ridiculous proposition.

Attacking working class culture is poor form. Get fucked.

Why do pubs pay their staff thousands of pounds a week? Do you get paid thousands of pounds a week to attend demos?

if so please tell me where I can sign up...

Oh no they don't so its nothing like that at all, you pillock.

 

[trevhagl]

it would be a dangerous situation if everywhere the coppers were needed, the place in question had to pay. For example if you owned a pub and some loons attacked it, YOU would have to pay?

 

[Awesome Wells]

The clubs do pay.

If fans can't behave themselves, close the clubs down. Why the cops have to be called away from proper duty to babysit a bunch of retards is a joke. If your fans can't behave (hardly surprising given the antics of these overpiad schoolkids they worship) then you can't have a football club.

 

[Dravinian]

Again, are they paying staff thousands of pounds each week?

Are they fuck.

So where is the comparison?

The whole point that they should pay is cause they can afford to pay some idiot kicking a ball thousands of pounds and they are the SOLE reason that the coppers are required, then they should have to pay.

working class = thuggery violence and intimidation? Go the working class!

Hardly, youre generalizing aren't you.

 

[Dravinian]

Hardly, youre generalizing aren't you.

No you were, by suggesting it was an attack on working class culture, when it was in fact an attack on the thuggery that requires a huge police presence.

Its a ridiculous proposition, the police are specifically resourced for these and many other purposes. Its simply another angle to attack on the working class.

you're the one making the generalisation; I merely responded. Hence the ?

Get the chip off your shoulder.

 

[longdog]

was you in Sheffield by any chance?

It could've been the Sheffield train they were on but as I was only going from one end of the replacement bus service to the other I couldn't say. They may well have carrier on to Sheffield, it was the right line.

Reading was always a joy to work at...

I've never seen the words Reading and joy in the same sentence before

...to say nothing of the godawful sound of the fuckers trying to speak

Absolutely. I speak better French than those tossers could speak English and I don't speak French.

So which songs made up the 'racist, misogynistic, homophobic' bits?

I didn't say the songs were racist, misogynistic, homophobic did I?
