If Tranmere played in red would a 'super red army' have been covered up? I suspect not...

Getting stupid, soon wont be able to make any reference to colours.

Ridiculous. People are offended by anything nowadays.

[spacemunky]

How about changing it to "Super Wide Army"?

[Lovejoy]

Ffs. Absolute state of that.

As long as they don't start singing 'Seven Nation Army' by the White Stripes. FA wont stand for anything with White in it by the looks of it.

The FA are consistently wide of the mark and in need of reform.

 

This is a brilliant read http://www.football365.com/news/the-fa-should-be-transparent-not-a-weird-private-club

And I thought they were scraping the barrel with the Lukaku chant.

 

I think the bottom of barrel has fell out now.

 

Pathetic.

How about, instead of pre-empting people being offended by something that is clearly innocuous and never designed to offend anyone ever, you allow people to be offended by it and then explain to them afterwards not only how stupid they are but also how culturally ignorant it is to be offended by it in the first place?

 

Nobody has the right not to be offended.

I imagine the FA is working diligently to prevent any future match between West Brom and Wolves.

From that article it doesn't actually appear that anyone is offended. This is the FA being the FA.

They'll have us all sitting in silence before you know it. You may clap 5 times if your team scores. You may do a nod of approval if your team win.

The most surprising thing is,.... I'm not surprised!

Have they been testing this new rule at the KP?

This is why I don't watch Rugby, I find having a team called the All Blacks pretty discriminatory.

Have you heard what their footy team is called?

[Guest Dirkster the Fox]

I've heard the ECB are genuinely considering approaching the ICC to ask for grey kits to be worn from 2019. Not!

All this lefty pc crap is pathetic......

And their table tennis team is called The Mulattos. Strange country.

Have you been reading my CRB?

[Nalis]

Its 2025 and the only pemitted song at football matches is 'The Football/Soccer Song', a bastardised verson of 'Take me out to the ball game'.

[Foxes1]

What next Leicester City fans will be banned from shouting 'Blue Army' in case it offends Smurfs.
