Default The 2021/22 RAWK Nuggets of class, dignity & rage thread

Will start with just the one, Utd v Leeds...

- Ref putting down a marker for the rest of their season, so many dodgy decisions.

Had to tell off their own fans today for homophobic abuse.

Football with fans 😁👍

I stopped watching random games a while back 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 but I’ll never miss a Liverpool game.

You don’t have to agree with me but we have incredible fans. Possibly the best 🥳

Name me another team who chants their corner taker with the same passion as their goal scorer.

Can you? 🤷‍♂️

Name me a team who’s away fans dominate the chants for 90 minutes.

Can you? 🤷‍♂️

Name me another team who hasn’t even been considered for the title but is the biggest threat to the favourites?

Pep must be quaking in his boots tonight

True, but no harm in them getting bad press

In what possible world is it not homophobic?

Whether you believe nobody really cares or not is irrelevant, the chant is 100% homophobic in origin.

That isn't terribly relevant to its being homophobic or otherwise tbh.

Is calling someone a hooker heterophobic?

Uh huh, uh huh.. just intrigued as to where then lines in the sand are.

I’d have taken either the chant or calling someone a hooker as a pejorative dig at sex-work in general, rather than homophobia/heterophobia.

Happy to get onboard the outrage bus because it's them, but it's %@#$&!s.

Last time this chant was sung and it hit the press, I looked in to it as I didn't understand why it was homophobic. I read some explanations that stated that the particular phrased used in that chant is a term used for male sex workers that cater primarily to other men, rather than anyone of any sex.

Personally I don't think it is homophobic in intent, but if its something that offends homosexual people, then is it really something a few thousand people need to be shouting at a young lad playing football?

You’d like to think we’d moved past such things, but here we are..

I wonder if the Wenger song would still be belted out proudly were he stood on the OT touchline gesticulating..
