davieG Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 It seems they are bothered then. Fans of Brighton and Hove Albion have called for more action to address homophobic chanting in football grounds. Some supporters said the FA was doing little to stop abuse, which is aimed at Albion fans because of the city's connections to the gay community. Homophobic and racist chants are outlawed by ground regulations. Funke Awoderu, the FA's equality manager, said everyone needed to take responsibility for stopping abuse. John Hewitt, chairman of the Albion's supporters club, said the problem is especially bad at away games. "We get it everywhere we go," he said. "The ground regulations say you cannot use homophobic behaviour. "There's a certain amount of banter between fans, but when it crosses that line and becomes offensive it's not acceptable. "The FA is is not doing enough." 'Unacceptable chants'Raj Chandarana, from the Football Supporters Federation, said: "It isn't about trying to clamp down on things in a forceful way, which is quite difficult to do. "It's about education - making people aware that homophobic chants are unacceptable." Ms Awoderu said it was explicit in the regulations that homophobic abuse is a punishable offence. "Match day stewards and all the security and intelligence that's available to clubs, is such, that people also have a responsibility," she said. "It can't always be the FA that needs to have these sanctions, we all need to have the responsibility." Not sure how you determine the difference between 'acceptable banter' and 'offensively unacceptable'
John Matrix Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 bet they didn't care when it looked like they were gonna walk the league.
Guest MattP Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 bet they didn't care when it looked like they were gonna walk the league. First thing I thought.
pSinatra Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 The FA need to take more action & stop being so limp-wristed
purpleronnie Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 brighton walk the league? Never thought that.
dannythefox Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 What they going to do stop the game every time someone shouts abuse! Get a life Brighton bet they were signing the Marlon King song!
TheUltimateWinner Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 If they do that, Then we shall sing this... Im such a tease...
Guest MattP Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Sit down, quietly, in the corner, dont speak, dont say anything, just sit there and enjoy yourself. You at the football now. Wonder how long its actually going to be before we have people in pubs monitoring what jokes people are telling?
maynefox Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Oh grow up Brighton! Infact lets launch an appeal to the FA over opposition fans chanting racist chants at us! <_< .......gays
Guest Bilo Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 If we don't spend 90 minutes singing this on February 4th, we're letting the side down.
Zingari Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Sounds like the FA are bending over backwards to please them
Thracian Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 The stewards will be frisking us for Camp Coffee next!
shiv Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 So maybe we should complain about the racist chants we get most games... Edit: just saw maynefox beat me to it
leicesterseddon Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 What's the bet that 99% of Albion fans (who, let's face it, are probably straight) don't really care that much about the chanting? Not that it excuses anything, I'm just saying...
Yojoe36 Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Then where the FVCK!!!!???? Is our plea over their racist chant!!??? Fvcking faggots
Yojoe36 Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 If we don't spend 90 minutes singing this on February 4th, we're letting the side down. Got to do that.
Zingari Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 brighton walk the league? Never thought that. maybe they won't walk the league , but they might mince it .

flowwolf Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Like these "right on " Pc fans go for a walk at night in the Parks in Brighton of visit a public convenience with their children. By their stupid reaction they just draw more attention to the gut feeling among the normal populous of Brighton that they have been overtaken by the deviants. I will make no apology for my last statement and stand by it . They feel ashamed at what has happened to their home town and are angry at the association of Brighton with Homosexuality and do not know how to deal with it ..

Guest MattP Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 Cottaging ruined the public toilet, even got out here that, acosted by a right pervert once.
KP Fox Posted 31 October 2011 Posted 31 October 2011 [b]Well its about time the FA took it seriously. Things are getting bad. One of the fans received a letter bomb the other day, He opened it and it went PUFF![/b]
