You're a bit of a weirdo.

I think if we lose to Chelsea then the Huddersfield game became massive. Lose that and he's gone.

The pr guff from the club makes me feel sick.

To be fair I thought Leicester were excellent. We were poor but I think they made us look worse.

Absolutely this. Huddersfield now a massive game like Everton was. Lose to Chelsea abd them and I don't see how he can stay.

I still feel that he never got a proper crack here. I would have liked to see him have a run of games to see what he was truly capable of, rather like we have given boufal this season.

Redmond over boufal is mad

I thought pied did well in the last game. No lemina and Stephens in after jot even being in the squad is just bizarre. I hope we get a result today or I'll move back into questioning the suitability of the manager again.

Very much disagree. We will see if he gets in I suppose.

Almost all of the noises coming from his party suggests not.

So from those articles we know that he reportedly chanted f*ck off you c*nts- aggressive certainly and maybe not advisable in the current climate but not homophobic. We then have the Echo who says that they consider "does your boyfriend know you're here" to be tantamount to foul mouthed abuse. I'd love to see what the other example is in to form a proper judgement, but given that this is the level that the Echo considers to be "foul mouthed abuse" then the suspicion is that it is extremely mild and not homophobic at all. Happy to be proven wrong should more facts come to light but as the Echo either didn't bother to print what else he said or- most likely- didn't know what else he had chanted it seems unlikely that we will find out.

Where is the evidence that what he sang was more offensive than that? I can't see any. Again, if the echo knew what was chanted then they would have said so or at least written an approximation of it.

Imo the most likely scenario is the worst one- corbyn gets in, concedes to everything and then "leaves" the EU whilst staying in customs union and the single market whilst having no voting rights and paying 50 billion for nothing. All whilst racking up debts.

Lemina has to start.

If he sung something offensive then it may be that he deserved a three year ban but the example used in the article was "does your boyfriend know you're here." presumably if they knew he sung something worse then they would have printed that. Most of the comment on here about how disgraceful and disgusting these comments are and how it amounts to hate speech and prejudice I imagine are talking about some imagined slur of which we have no knowledge. Of it later comes to light that he was singing something fill of hate filled rhetoric than clearly that changes things but from what we know now it's an absurd overreaction.

I assume you mean something along similar lines such as "does your imam know you're here?" If so then yes. Offensive chanting about being a Muslim is clearly very different and should obviously be banned in the same way that homophobic chants should.

I can confidently say that football should never be for types like you who work themselves up into an absolute state about some morons singing an unfunny chant about the population of a city. If you're genuinely as upset as you seem over something so minor then he's absolutely right- you appear much too sensitive to subject yourself to the torment of a live football match. In fact, if I were you I'd probably steer clear of the majority of social interactions to avoid any sort of offence.

Not giving a sh*t about some generic and boring song isn't a disgraceful attitude, but suggesting that singing does your boyfriend know you're here is tantamount to hate speech absolutely is. I've often attended football with a mate of mine who's gay. I just asked him what he thought of those chants and his response was as I expected- he couldn't care less about rubbish like that unless it is some offensive slur aimed at him personally. The vast majority of people don't tend to overreact and call for three year banning orders for a generic chant aimed at a rival city though. I assume you were calling for similar bans when that ji sung park song was being sung by United fans a few years back?

"does your boyfriend know you're here" does not in any way constitute hate speech. It's a crime for its lack of wit and originality and should be discouraged for that primarily but lumping that sort of innocuous chant in with actual hate speech and offensive chanting just undermines the times that action should be taken to punish real crimes.

It's a couple of songs that play on stereotypes about Brighton being full of gay people. The vast majority of people of all sexual persuasions would see it for the harmless unoriginal and boring songs that they are and either ignore them or chant back. In exactly the same way that Cardiff fans react to sheep ****gers or northerners react to songs about eating off the floor. All these songs are absolute cr*p but if anyone is actually offended by a generic chant like that then they need to take a long look at themselves and probably refrain from going out in public lest a sideways glance upset them.

Tbf that isn't what he said...

Is he linked to the bloke who wrote to Mr Goa?

Of course there will but the crackdowns only started when the fully loaded kodi boxes became mainstream and anyone with a very limited knowledge of tech could watch the streams. As long as they can stop that from happening, I imagine they won't be trying as hard.

The aim isn't to stop it, the aim is to make it as complex and difficult as possible to access the live streams so that the average bloke gives up and pays for sky again.

Proud of the lads tonight for one of the only times this season. Well done to the manager and the players despite the painful loss.
