somebum Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 The way of the world these days, everyone gets upset over nothing Perhaps next time you could find a safe space.
Rusko187 Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Heard a couple of idiots trying to be discreet, sad really in this day and age people still behave in this way.

Gay, straight, male or female I'd have thought it would be universally unpleasant? You haven t seen much internet, some would say that act was tame

You wouldn't have enjoyed it very much in pen 1 at Filbo street! Also Is telling someone to shove a clapper up their arse homophobic? Gay, straight, male or female I'd have thought it would be universally unpleasant? No, it definitely hurts more if you’re straight ?

"Why is it eight quid for fish and chips in Brighton and only four ninety five just down the coast" Wtf where are you buying fish and chips for £4:95?

Never quite sure tbh ... but i do know it's always drawn in pencil .. that way it can easily be rubbed out and moved on a regular basis ..
MPH Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 You have to be a bit of a melt to do this. Sure, chant away about the opposition team... consider chanting/ supporting your own team maybe aswell? but to get personal like that? You have to be a knuckle-dragging melt to think that’s ok...
boots60 Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Cant speak for those arrested last night as I have no idea of their comments/chants but chants like "Does your boyfriend know you're here" & "We can see you holding hands" are not homophobic rants but humorous banter, mostly laughed off by Brighton fans. You only have to go to any of the politically correct watered down shows at this years Leicester comedy festival to see what the PC brigade are achieving.

You're missing my point here, why operate zero tolerance just for one club? is homophobic abuse against brighton worse than against huddersfield for example?

A no tolerance approach needs to be taken across the entire footballing pyramid. Agreed, I have a low tolerance toward homosexuals...sick of seeing game shows, auction programs etc. etc. where two "blokes" are introduced and one is introduced as the others "wife". dons tin hat waiting for Rumble
gerrytaggart Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 "Your pebbly beach is rubbish, Your pebbly beach is rubbish, Your pebbly beach is rubbish". How the **** is that homophobic?

What did disappoint me was the bloke behind me constantly referring to Maddison as a f****t, queer, and claiming he was sticking his arse in the air when he fell over waiting for someone to jump on him. I didn't say anything as I'm not the confrontational type and was on my own, but it's really disappointing that we still have neanderthals like that in our fan Base. Just 3 days after the football V homophobia fixture, too... There are posters up with a number you can ring for people who don't want to confront idiots like that. You could phone the club today and report it. That should read 'should' not 'could'.

I don't have a problem with implementing zero tolerance, my point is why do Brighton get special treatment? If we're in agreement that homophobic abuse doesn't belong in the football ground, then why do we only operate this stance for one club? Is Brighton the only club in the league with gay fans?

You could phone the club today and report it. That should read 'should' not 'could'. True, and that did cross my mind. That being said, I'm confident nothing will happen. I couldn't tell them for sure who it was (other than a block of 5-6 seats behind me), and even if they could identify the individual there's not a lot they can do to change anything - banning him would be overly excessive and other actions likely won't have any effect. As a gay man we tend to develop a thick skin when we hear such comments, and by-and-large the natural response is to ignore it, particularly as that type of individual is becoming fewer in number. I'm not saying that's the right course of action, but to me its understandable. That said, I'll drop the club an email this evening.

Brighton get special treatment not because of who they are/might be, but because of how they have been treated in the past. The stance is the same for every club that comes to the KP, but that stance needs to be emphasised when clubs like Brighton come here who have historically received more abuse than others.
RoboFox Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Theoretically speaking, if I were to put a clapper in my backside and broke wind... Would it... Y'know? Could cause a few surprises in the office, is all I'm saying. Real talk, though: There was an article in "iNews" recently about just how pervasive it is at the stadium and how it continues to go unpunished, despite repeated reporting to the club. It's 2019. It's really quite depressing. And unfortunately, judging by some of the responses and reactions here, we still have quite a way to go.

Crazy Kop Corner Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 There won’t be anyone left in L1 at this rate. Seems as though there’s been a number of arrests this season.
