who are ya? Royal Rother floyd__streete Royal Rother Out of interest, should these ignoramuses bring back the chant "YOU BLACK BASTARD"? It was all part of exactly the same banter, no?
So calling someone a northern b@stard is just as offensive as calling someone a black b@stard is it?
Royal Rother - if he was made out of chocolate he'd eat himself.
20 years ago YOU BLACK BASTARD was heard every Saturday in virtually every football ground in the country. There was very little racism involved in that chant, it was just what the yobs shouted. They also shouted YOU DIRTY NORTHERN BASTARDS.
To me, calling anyone a bastard is offensive and I totally abhor this kind of numbskullery that many football supporters find so side-splittingly entertaining.
Seeing grown men chanting that sort of stuff is completely cringe-worthy.
I bet match days are a barrel of laughs with you.
Some chants are just crap.
Dirty Nothern Bastards has some irony too it. I think most people know that and it has a bit of Elm Park nostalgia for me.
I'm not prejudiced against people who are from the north.
But it's not in the same league as the other obviously Racist chants mentioned.
I can't stand 'shit on the floor' or 'die die die you bastard'.
offensive and just pointless.
Can anyone help with this though:
At Elm Park we used to shake our fists and do monkey-type chants when we won a corner. Still happens occasionaly now.
Where did this come from? am I missing something?
