They're only words and by the age of 7 most kids will have heard all of them at school/home. My daughters know what words they're allowed to say and what they're not. We don't pretend the words don't exist. I wouldn't intentionally swear in front of anyone who I thought it might offend though so have no issue following the rules as best I can. Anyone who has any issues with their children hearing swear words and bad behaviour on the part of adults generally can't EVER take their children to football. It's just the most insane disconnect there. The behaviour football players exhibit is absolutely appalling. I love it of course. But, it really is abysmal in terms of an example to children. Every time we go to EP, I tell my son (he's 8) that he'll hear some swearing and that it's because that is how some adults talk or express themselves at football games. I've told him he might hear me say the odd swear word too, but he's not to repeat anything he hears. Occasionally he'll ask me what something means on the way home and I'll tell him. It's just how it is, I'd rather he know what words mean rather than pretend they don't exist. Although, I've caught him joining in with chants of 'w*nker' at the referee ("I didn't know it was a swear word, honest!") and with the f*ck you Chorley song, although when I asked what everyone was singing he said (with only the honest belief that a child could have) he said 'thank you Chorley!' |

That’s adorable! Nice cup of tea with Adam Proudlock, etc. |

I’m similar to most on here, I imagine, in that swearing is part of everyday parlance and I tend to embrace it. And the odd shit here and there never hurt anybody. But do have to balance it against there being some younger readers and those who aren’t so keen on stronger language. Generally I think we’re a pretty fair bunch and language on here isn’t much different from that used in pubs, workplaces and houses up and down the country. Don't know if you have young children under sixteen,but would you really want him coming in your house swearing in front of them couldnt give a f*** tbh  |

McKnight and Wilson pair of wronguns. No wonder they're mates. What have we done to deserve these two in fairly quick succession? They're like two peas in a pod. a good way to measure anybody is seeing who their friends are. |

I remember going to the game for the first time and my dad telling me that I may hear some words for the first time and to make sure I asked him whether or not I could say them in front of my mum when we got home.
In the car on the way back he asked me if I’d heard any words and would I like to ask now if they were allowed to be said or not.
I said “yeah, what the f*ck does offside mean?”

When County played Everton in the FA Cup replay I brought my daughter who was at primary school, when the inevitable ‘you scouse b*stards’ chant came up she asked me what were they singing, I said I wasn’t sure, a minute later she said, I know what they are singing Dad, you ghost busters! 😂

Guy Branston was a proper hard player. I seem to remember him coming up against County quite a few times over the years.

I can’t claim to hold the original rights to that one 🙂 |
