I wasn't impressed with some of the behaviour last night. We don't want to turn into football.

In response to the comment about the ripper, we did not breed him, if my memory is not playing tricks he comes from a dump called Bradford.

And even then they didn't have a town meeting and then all decide toget together and launch a eugenics programme with the intention of creating a warped serial killer.
It is a dump though, I'll give you that.

I’ve been no angel in the past when its comes to terrace chants but I’m learning from that now. But I do feel that scum is a strong word that describes a vile set of people.

Anyways I think as a club we should work to outlaw this old and tired song as it is not setting a good example to our young ones and certainly does not represent a family game. With so many songs out they we should be able to create new ones that are more friendly.

If you like to use violence in your voices then please use it in your own time and not in a family crowd. I’m vile on Youtube with some of the things I do. But when its around kids you won’t spot me associating myself with such thug like self.

Agreed. I was at the match with the present Mrs BR, who asked was there any need for such a chant.

Time it was binned.
