Ten German Bombers

I agree with you Oreo. A bit of a sweeping statement, Grandma70s.

My DH, DS! and SIL are very much football fans and certainly not loutish. I take myself off to the conservatory, when there is football on.

I find Grandma 70s post unpleasant, I have been to football matches both home and away, I sat in the terraces not some private box. I love the chanting and the atmosphere, plus I bought the unhealthily burger I could find and enjoyed it.

I find there is a snobbery around football as it is deemed a more working class sport. Would you encourage your sons not to do rugby?

It's stereotyping.

DS is a family man in a professional job and he and and his friends would never resort to the kind of hooliganism which some fans all over the world do, nor do the majority of fans.

I was a season ticket holder some years ago, before I got my allotment.
The Prince of Wales and I can be unpleasant and uncivilised together along with a myriad of others across a large section of society.

😁

I love football and happily watch as many matches as possible. I am not unpleasant nor uncivilised, and likewise my husband and sons.
Prince William likes football, does he come under your blanket snobbery Grandma70s? Oh dear, he's encouraged Prince George to attend too!

DS has taken DGD on occasion. She plays too 😯

Cross posted Jaxjacky I see you've made the same point

Football is such an enjoyable game at (almost) every level, and at its best it is “the beautiful game”. It’s not surprising supporters are so passionate about it.

Well the posts I reported have been deleted. I suggest that taking a careful look at what you are criticising is important. It's fine to disagree and oppose someone's views. It is not OK to make personal remarks about them, much as they may irritate you.
I would never have dreamed of reporting anything on this thread until paddyanne54's post was reported and deleted. In my opinion if some people want to engage in slanging matches they are quite entitled to do so. What isn't OK is choosing to report one post because you don't like what it says or the poster saying it and ignoring others because you agree with them. I find that unacceptable.

I reported paddyanne54’s post due to its content.

I do not engage in ^slanging matches^

I don't think you were involved in the slanging match. You did however choose to report one of the posts involved in it, conveniently ignoring the others, because they didn't fit your views.
I actually think that's worse.
If people want to spend their time insulting each other why not stay out of it and let them?
If you find posts that personalise things wrong why not report all such posts?

Why are you continuing with all this Glorianny let it drop, haven’t you noticed the thread has moved on. It will be goady to keep on about it.

Scotland out of the Euros now so football fan news will feature the countries still in the contest.

Oh wow the Thread police strike again. I was replying to a post. Sorry I didn't realise there was a time limit on such things. It is "goady" to tell people what they can and can't say on a thread.

Thank goodness it wasn't an English referee! 😯

The Scotland manager said that only European referees should be allowed to referee at the Euros, saying of the Argentinian referee, one of the best in the world ^'he probably doesn't speak the language'.
Scottish English or Hungarian? 🤔

Are you actually interested in the thread subject Glorianny which is football and behaviour of fans?
Why don’t you comment on that?Do you think along with the OP that English fans should be arrested for hate crimes?

Haha Callistemon the manager is casting around for blame, when the Scottish fans are blaming him🤭

Indeed I would. Rugby’s even worse, though for different reasons.

I suggest you read my first post on this thread. I have no problem with chants. I have no problem with bawdy songs. I have no problem with people being rude to each other. I just like to see a little equality in all of this.

Sigh

Rugby is more dangerous for its players but just as entertaining to watch, from a spectator view, as football.
The only boring sports to watch, to me, are golf and cricket and unfortunately my DP is addicted to watching them as well as all other sports I don’t mind watching.😖

You couldn’t write it!!’ Doesn’t speak the language, a real foreigner, we wis robbed. Can you
Imagine the outrage if Southgate or Kandsaid this

Snooker and darts .....
If you can call them sport. Like watching paint dry.
