smicer07 Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Got back earlier- great performance from the lads. But, when the ref sent off Gerrard, I was effing and blinding, in Anny Lower, 126, as were many around me, and got told to sit down and mind my language by some fella in front of me. He had a kid (probably about 10 years old) sitting in front of me, playing with his chair and being annoying, and told me to shut up. I kindly told him if he didn't want to hear bad language then he shouldn't take his kid to the game. Am I in the wrong here?

smicer07 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 Well, it was obviously nothing racist/homophobic. Just called the ref an effing w@nker... just the usual..
Sir Tokyo Sexwale Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 no - you're in a footy ground....there was a bloke in the bar today with a young'un. I was effing & blinging, as I always do to everything. I did think for a moment, but sod it, it's footy, it's emotional - ask Gary Neville. Anyway, by the time he griped what could you do? Fly round the world like superman to go back in time so you could opt not to swear?
smicer07 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 He really pissed me off to be honest, particularly as ironically he was aggressive towards me in front of his kid!
Barnesy_10 Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 you were in the right mate.... I swear all match and the fella in front brings his nephew to the match each week... he accepts it as part and parcel... I remember being in the adult/childs section once in upper anny and biting my lip all match, but thats different... if someone told me to watch language I would be well f***ed off... its a passionate game... people swear in life... time for a reality check. Its up to him to encourage his son not to swear and bring him up the way he sees fit...
smicer07 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 Haha, to be honest, I almost did mate, but bit my tongue cos I couldn't be arsed with the fat get.
Guest Sabre Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 You should have told him to f*** off. Hehe don't know why but that made me laugh
aka Dus Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I swear like a sailor doing the shopping, at work, in the car... Can't say that I'd be overly diplomatic watching that referee today. Yer man should cop on.
Knox_Harrington Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 This happened to me at Olympiakos last season. Referee shocking first half and down the row was a couple of women with kids. They said something about minding my language and before I could reply this fella behind me stood up and said: "For f***'s sake love, it's not the f***ing London Palladium." Bloke next to me was an American who didn't swear either. Gerrard's goal was "freaking amazing". It was his first ever game. He may have walked.
chrisbonnie Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 na, you where well within your rights to say what you did if he doesnt want his nipper to hear "the norm" of football language then he shouldnt bring him to the ground, sure a kid would love that, hearing swear words is as good as staying up late for them
Guest Sabre Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 You'd have to be pretty bloody reserved not to swear at a football match, let alone a big game where people walk there from Speke. Although, I was so busy ripping the piss out of Pantos, the Olympiakos right back, that I forgot to swear in outrage at every decision against us, but I have been told that I left Pantos psychologically scarred.
Guest ziggystardust Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 you didnt start crying did you because you sound on the verge of tears
Molby Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 the chap behind me had extra long legs, a bit like the mutants in The Chrysallids, and he was digging in to me; also he had an accent of indeterminate origin, so I had to have a word was getting quite irate with him but Garcia's goal made it all okay and now we are friends (going on holiday together soon, that kind of thing)
CarraLegend Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I'm finding absolutely every joke funny tonight, its f***ing brilliant beating them s***house, longball, hoof, hoof, hoof, whoppers it really makes the weekend. Shame I cant be out in town but im absolutely skint so its football first on repeat until whatever time it finishes for me tonight.

Being at a football match doesn't give you the right to swear. Do you want to be the bloke who stopped a 10 year old from going to games because his Dad didn't want him to hear such language?

I kindly told him if he didn't want to hear bad language then he shouldn't take his kid to the game. Am I in the wrong here? Well i wouldnt be happy atall if i was at the game with my 5 year old daughter and had you using that language around us, and if you where asked nice and refused in the manner that you say you did, then quite frankly you would deserve a smack. However, some more mild mannerd people would and should report you to the stewards. We have had people with kids around us in the past, and we always make a point of toning down our language for the day, and any decent human being would understand that. Not sure if you have kids, but im guessing no by your attitude.
smicer07 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) I don't HAVE kids, but I TEACH them. If I did have kids, and didn't want them to hear bad language, I quite simply wouldn't take them to the match, easy as that. As for the post above, I did not "refuse", I did as he asked, however I had every right to refuse as he was aggressive towards me when there was no need for it. It's an offence to use the language you used in public. Being at a football match doesn't give you the right to swear. Do you want to be the bloke who stopped a 10 year old from going to games because his Dad didn't want him to hear such language? So it's an offence to swear now is it? Maybe I should stay on my couch like you? And regarding your second comment, I couldn't care less, I go to support my team, if he doesn't want his daughter hearing bad language she wouldn't even go to school.. have heard worse than what I shouted on a primary school playground.
