The game is already ridiculous sanitised. We sing shit about them, they sing shit about us. It's how this works. The only thing I despise (aside from, obviously racism etc) is tragedy chanting. That said, I hear very little from our lot on that front. |

It’s inevitably where the game is going
The sanitised #bekind message is completely at odds with most fans hating mosts clubs other than their own. The majority of songs are a joke. It’s all recreational ‘hatred’ for the most part and most won’t cross that line into directly attacking individuals or getting into hooliganism It’s necessary for overtly unacceptable topics: Racism, homophobia, mocking the dead….but ‘poverty shaming’? Really, guys? Is that worse than being told to £#%&! off or that you’re shit There’s sort of a deal you enter into when you go into a football stadium and engage in that way. There will be mockery. Similar to going to see a comedian. Of course, like a lot of comedy now, that sort of context doesn’t seem to matter The next step is clamping down on anything that could be deemed as derogatory, which will end up meaning you can sing only about your own team…. And it better not be about the size of your striker’s #@&%! or how your midfielder eats dogs And we wonder why atmospheres are going to shit |

I am happy to continue singing such songs. Manchester had slums and poverty too - we just didn't bang on about it. Their continual victim status earned them the right to such chants.
"Rent boys" (homophobic, my arse), "sheep £#%&!gers" ( bestiality?), "We all hate Leeds scum" (we do, they are), and "My old man" (advocating blunt trauma and sharp object lacerations as well as intimate relations with an inanimate object) - all just a bit of fun really. |

Never really understood taking offense at football songs. When teams have sung about Munich it hasnt (and couldnt) upset me. Sometimes Ive allowed it to anger me but only so I could go all 10 (Hag) men threaten the whole away end for a laugh. So, in my view, any offense is contrived and performative, i.e. scouse, and should be treated accordingly.

That Alf Garnett was a right old laugh. Bernard Manning - oh how I split my sides. Chubby Brown - finger on the pulse. Jim Davidson - couldn't get enough of his racism. What has the world come to, eh? |

Don’t think we should be singing it though IMHO. More for the fact that every other no-mark club sings it incessantly and think they’re being hysterical. Move on. |

But Liverpool slums? Honestly think I'd laugh at it if I was a scouser whenever I heard it. Give it another few years and this guys going to end up looking like a revolutionary. |
