Just me that, when people do a little helicopter gesture with their hand, chooses not to get outraged or offended by it or anyone else the same?

 

Anyone else rather police time and resource was spent on other things and that people didn’t pick up criminal records and football banning orders for distasteful hand gestures?

 

Seems like this is happening with more regularity and there’s plenty of our fan base up in arms about it. I’d imagine those two things are linked and that, if everyone shrugged their shoulders and moved on with their life, it might eventually stop happening.

Perfectly put.

I seem to remember that one bloke in the gilet at Walsall started off doing this, but the response was to take the ever loving piss out of him and his choice of clothing for the rest of the match.

 

This chubby-cheeked muppet couldn't even commit to using his whole arm like gilet. Teeny tiny finger copters. An opportunity was well and truly missed to make him want the ground to swallow him up, because there's plenty about him to go low for looking at the state of him, from the squirrel on his head to the binbag he seems to be wearing in place of a coat.

 

People that resort to this are pathetic, but the answer is to turn it on them.

I think a certain amount of the outcry from our own is pure performance. It looks to me like an idea of wanting to defend King Power.

Give your head a wobble mate. I appreciate you don't like King Power but this is mocking the deaths of five people.

Its crap and distasteful absolutely. But two chaps getting the strong arm of the law over it? Come on now.

Morons but that's Millwall. I've seen Man City and Liverpool fans mocking Munich air crash, people sing about Scousers in poverty and there's definitely been some Jimmy Saville statements directed at Leeds. 

 

Name, shame and ban. More than effective enough. The Wednesday lads mocking Sunderland's Bradley Lowery apparently were known for being idiots and were banned from every footballing pub in Sheffield, as well as from games and supporters groups.

Absolute scum

Do you want me to feel sorry for them or something?

Tbh I’m more concerned for the welfare of the kid in the background. Someone needs to stop feeding him skittles for breakfast!

Not exactly a shock though; police/politicians/social media constantly shout for people to be punished for "tragedy chanting" so it's what we see a tonne of man power put into.

[Guest Lako42]

I pity these guys more than anything else. 

 

I'll forever be grateful that I'm not wired up incorrectly like they are. 

 

Sad as ****

[Vlad the Fox]

Got to say I’m the same as others on here, a couple of grown men embarrassing themselves isn’t going to offend me. 
 

On another note mind I’ve often thought that millwall will never achieve what someone like brentford or luton and many other small clubs in the past have because of their backwards thinking. They’re a club whose fanbase still look romantically back at the era of football hooliganism with pride. Their reputation stinks and no one of a certain level wants to be part of it. Wrexham or other such team will rise and make the premier league before they even get close. 

[5waller5]

Pathetic all round.

 

A sad little boy trying to impress his inbred mates is pathetic enough. To waste police time and your own energy getting offended by it is sinking to their level.

People reacting to it are the ones enabling it to happen more.

 

Sorry that it's uncomfortable, but that's the truth.

If you need to resort to mocking tragedies then it says more about you than anything else.

 

He's been videoed, he'll have to justify it, let's move on.

It's very ya Dad but try and get a policeman to your property after a burglary. 

There are dedicated Police units at football matches funded by the clubs themselves.

Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse’s early material really wasn’t that good.

[Ashley]

Cvnt behaviour but I agree with the sentiments on don't get wound up about it, ignore it and it'll stop. 

 

Milwall been at it for years though. They used to do it to Leeds with Chris and Kev being stabbed in Istanbul. Turkey flags all over the place at games in years gone by. 

[Raj]

It would say alot about people if you were NOT slightly offended by gestures like this and the Sheffield  lads who made the gestures regarding the young Sunderland kid Bradley.

If these become normal and acceptable then society really is messed up.

Scum like that need to be driven out of football does not matter which club they support

What's your point? Is it the fault of the City fans that got offended or something? As opposed to the people actually going it?

 

It's like the "girls that wear skimpy dresses are asking for it" argument. Why not push the blame on those actually committing the offences? Yes, they were doing it for a reaction but the reaction they definitely didn't want was to be kicked out of the ground and have the plod knock on their door on Monday morning.

 

If these two muppets got kicked out and then have their season tickets removed then all good. Even better if they get stadium bans.

 

This isn't behaviour we should be normalising and it's very good from the City fans that ensured they were caught and punished.

This is the exact action needed to be taken. Police don’t need to be involved, I’ve seen so much footage in the last 3 months of police in action I find it extraordinary that the police think they need to be seen to do something in this situation. 
 

Shame them and Ban them let them fall into the insignificant sc*m bags they are.
