Title: Homophobic chanting from our fans at Barnsley
Post by: Kenny_Senior on April 26, 2011, 04:26:23 pm
Did anyone else hear this after the final whistle when the players and referee had left the pitch?

Absolutely disgusting and those involved are the lowest of the low. It would be good if the club could identify them and ban the individuals who participated in the chants.

How low have education standards got when people on here can't even spell 'beer'?? Or are you saying Rigo has been eating bears? In which case, I salute you Rigo!

Seriously, I will never understand why some fans decide to bully their own.

Given how much shit that Rigo dishes out, its hardly surprising that he gets some back. Whats surprising is that someone hasn't given him a good kicking before now.

Eh chill before you get on the high horse.  FWIW I have a degree and have spent 8 hours sat working in an office today so I'm sorry if I've not met your standard of English.

Also, I'm not bullying Rigo, we're good mates and have been for years, hence why we actually take the piss out of each other constantly.  Geez some people jump to conclusions far too easily.

http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/barnsley_jason_shackell_interview_1_2249246

Shackell mentions his wife in that interview anyway, so I don't think any of the chanting would've bothered him too much. Not saying it's right but I doubt he'd lose any sleep over it with it being completely untrue.

Chants weren't just aimed at Shackell.

This is something the club needs to be investigating, rather than just bury their heads in the sand and pretend it never happened. Its a shame that the minority of less than 1% have had to spoil it for the majority.

What are you suggesting Kenny that these folk are turned in and given banning orders for life or are you just trying to give ammunition to our rivals who read this forum.
Our fans have always had a good name in football circles (bar a few individuals) now because daft youngsters sing a song .......our reputation is tarnished.
Incidentally there is no mention of these outrageous chants on any of the opposition boards!!

So when people sing sheep shaggers to the Welsh ....shall we investigate that?

Or call teams /players Wa*nkers, C*nts , Bas*ards ......

Or we ask if the player wife takes it up the wrong en..... shall we investigate that?

Or when people call players ugly? Shall we investigate that?

Or when a player has long hair and we call them Gippos....Shall we investigate that?

None of it is pleasant is it? Its part of the football \"culture\"....Should we accept it probably not ....but lets be real!

Are we in danger of becoming heterophobic in this PC world gone mad.I can just see it now  20 years down the road .Donny fans being lambasted for chanting \"your players  do the missionary position to a member of the opposite gender\".On the pitch will be 11 transexual players with bionic appendgiges and a billion pounds worth of plastic surgery between them .Sponsered shirts will proudly display fudge packers for life limited .The goals will be set at a reduced size of 3x 2 to accomodate the vertically challenged goal keeper compulsory under new European legislation.Stewards will have tazer guns if anyone dares to raise from there seats.More to the point folk on here will still be debating the ethics of were someone prefers to put there member  in which part of the human anatomy rather than the ability to kick a football in a straight line.

You got to be Shitting me, Thats what Football is all about, thats what people go to a match for, cheer on your team, have a laugh and abuse the opposition fans.

Doncaster Fans are quite sincere compared to some other teams, and if anything was said 'derogetry(sp)' that you heard then maybe you should write a letter to Points of View, The Football League Show, Ed Milliband hell go the whole hog and get Jimmy Saville involved!!

When Cardiff go to away grounds we get the 'Sheep Shaggers' thrown at us, hell when we score we sing '1 nil to the sheepshaggers' (in other words we take the piss out of ourselves) - like i say its all banter and part and parcel of modern day football.

While were on the subject of chants one of my favourites is
 
'Theres only one Neil Warnock, one Neil Warnock, a packet of sweets a cheesy smile Warnock is a F**kin Peadophile '    :evil:

I think the consensus is, is it worth bringing up on account of next to nobody heard anything?

Either Hetero or Homo...chants take place all the time regarding sexuality. Are homosexuals a special case and therefore immune / exempt from such chants? Some people really do need to develop a sense of humour.

People that can't abide swearing and p*ss taking chants etc in football should p*ss off and maybe watch a play at the theatre instead, PC gone bloody mad. I bet 99% of them are bloody prawn sarnie east standers used to sitting on their padded seats and having lunch and a glass of wine in the hospitality section before a game. There always has been things like this sung/chanted for years ever since i started going in 1979 not just by us but by every football club in the land. I can imagine you all sat at oakwell saying to each other \"oh i wish they wouldn't swear\" when the fans were calling shacks a w*nker & greedy b*stard too. Next you will be wanting us to wear f*cking dinner suits to games (nudger can wear his birthday suit).

Is it any wonder that there are no openly gay players in this game? poor sods have had to climb to the very back of the closet to be able to do their jobs without the element of homophobic knuckle dragging troglodytish hetro fanatic footy fans abusing them.

With the tragic suicide of Justin Fashnu I would guess the bolt is firmly on the closet door, and who can blame them. In the thirteen years since his death nothng seems to have progressed.

I have to say tho only straight men who are secretly curious about sex with another man find a gay man threatening...I have always found it bizarre and egotistical to the extreme that straight men always think the gay lad will fancy them..

Seuality shouldn't be an issue, being able to play a good game and win matches is what matters, not wether player goes home to Arthur or Martha.

As no-one seems prepared to enlighten us as to what was said and to whom it was directed there seems little point commenting. However, I think there's a big difference between calling Cardiff/ Derby fans sheepshaggers in a collective sense and directing anti-gay chants at an individual or identifiable group. One is footy banter, the other sounds more like abuse.
Title: Re: Homophobic chanting from our fans at Barnsley
Post by: big fat yorkshire pudding on April 27, 2011, 05:59:28 pm
The thing is homophobic stuff only really matters if you actually care (I've never known a gay guy who does and I've lived with 2).  My gay mates usually make more jokes about it than anyone else, because to be frank they couldn't actually care less.

So what if somebody says something about you being gay, if you are then why would you care?  I've never understood that.  I mean if someone came up to me and said \"you straight bas**rd bet you loved giving her a right go against that wall\" would I care?  I think the answer to that is obvious.  It's more about the paranoia of those that are gay in a lot of cases.

As an example, was in town the other week, bit drunk.  Chatting to this guy in takeaway mentioned \"you're very similar to the guy from Glee\".  For some reason his reply was \"it's because I'm gay blah blah\".  No it wasn't, it's because he had the same tone of voice, mannerisms and looked like the guy from Glee.  It was a crazy reaction.  I've never understood this paranoia from gay people to a great extent.

The thing is Andy, you can't understand what it would be like to be gay unless you are..A lot depends on your age too, the more progressive the world becomes hopefully the easier it will be to actually come out.

The person that I have always considered to be the other half of me is gay. The first half of his adult life he lived the lie, to conform, and it made him miserable. he has travelled the world, been married twice, once to a woman once to a man.. Neither worked because of his internal struggle to find himself.. For the last five years he has lived openly as a gay man, until last month, then he came home.

Now once again he is trying to conform to societies idea of the norm. Coming out isn't all as easy as it is in the soaps. He is my oldest, dearest friend and I love him for himself, not because he wears a particular label to appease the bigots.

I was there til the end ie after the players left (including Shack attack leaving the pitch and I never heard owt neither.

There seems to be a few of us who never heard it but nobody wants to post the chant/comments on here. What was said and was it that bad?

If personal abuse is wrong, but group abuse is OK, then should we be questioning a ref's parentage or suggest he self sexually abuses himself. Should we be questioning the length of a players hair akin to a traveller type. Should we be questioning the portly shape of a said player. Should we question a players girlfriend/wife sexual antics. Should we question a players wage......I may be wrong but I'm sure we hear these types of comments every Saturday at every ground in the UK, and still people moan we cannot get an atmosphere at a footy match these days. What's taking all this away going to do to the footy atmosphere? I know we shall all shout 'hurrah Rovers' when we score and bravo when somebody skins a player and just leave it at that.

Shall we open up the Lee Hughes debate again?

Being a w**ker could be deemed either. I suppose there's straight w**king (where you are visualising the opposite sex eg Olivia Newton John.... or there is gay w**king where you are visualising the same sex eg Elton John.

There's nothing wrong with Rigo w**king (hell I've knocked the top off a few myself). Surely there's more than Rigo and I doing this crazy shit. It can kill a lonely 10mins and I'd strongly recommend one or two on here thrash one out before posting(might wanna wash your hands first like)

Got to be honest, I stayed till final whistle and heard nothing, even as we walked away all we heard was the chants 'Billy, Billy Sharp' (nothing from the home end)

I don't hold with racist or homophobic abuse, in fact I don't hold with abuse full stop. So are we also condemning the (majority) shouting \"Jason Shackell's a w****r' and 'greedy b*****d' chants that were definitely audible throughout the game?

Listen, whatever the rights and wrongs of it, I know one thing is true, and this was confirmed by a Barnsley fan at work today:.....

Jason Shackell had his worst game of the season on Monday.

I suspect the constant barrage of songs and comment about him chasing the yankee dollar rather than play for a club which idolised him might have had something to do with that.

Agreed. Job done. We got a point, unlucky not to get 3 and peppered them in their final third (Shack's territory). I would still love the lad to come back though.

Shacks was not the same dominant player as we was for us. Nobody gaffered him whilst he played for us. This lad gave Andy 'Thug' Carroll a run for his money last season.

I don't suppose we have an ex players for Leicester do we?

So you're advocating singing The Skids back catalogue to put opposition players off?

Sorry lads can't agree. Being merely Welsh doesn't drive one to suicide if the fans find out. Mores the pity :chair: I am joking but I guess Viva and Muff already know that. It's very easy to be proud to be Welsh, or whatever, but in football it's not quite so simple to be proud to be Gay, as TRB would sing. Not quite a whole nation standing behind you (ooo err)

Grow up!

Chants are what come with the game I'm afriad, although we are one of the clubs furthest along with the family theme, there are still a few fans that aren't afraid to shout abuse at a game at players, this may be on their sexuality, their haircut, on some rare occasions even their race. Apart from the racist chants, I don't have a problem with what is chanted about players. Isn't \"Bum raped in prison\" one we sang at Lee Hughes at Oldham, (I think it was the 4-0 thrashing we got). Is that not just as bad?

As for the Rigo situation (I wasn't at Barnsley so don't know what was said) he has dished out his fair amount of abuse, I've had more than a fair share in recent years. Surely you have all seen the famous \"I'm Mr Croft and I'm a retard\" video on youtube? Last season at QPR in february he had a go at Rovers fans girlfreind (who had travelled from Wales) to the point where she was crying, the said Rovers fan was held back by others to prevent him getting at Rigo. I was also told he made a remark before the QPR game when the players were coing off the coach about the Late Harry Bacon (God Rest his soul) and him bieng in a wheelchair, how true this was? I don't know, I do hope it wasn't. Anyways after some of the things Ive heard come out of his mouth, it's no surprise anyone offends him. I will hold my hands up to chanting \"Rigo is a w**ker\" in the past, and on more than one occasion, but I don't regret it. Put yourself in my shoes, would you be able to bite your lip and ignore it after that video?

In this instance, \"TRB\" equates to Tom Robinson Band.

Just thought I'd clarify that one! ;)
