I wasn't watching the game and just wondering was there much in it and what kind of chants was he subjected to?

Ha I cant imagine Redknapp seeing the funny side of it. Anyone see the gesture? Likelihood he could face a probe?

Ah here, he just asked a question like.

Much ado about nothing to be fair. A closed fist? Obscene gesture? No.

Jesus everyones getting a bit precious lately (mostly the authorities it seems) . "the big evil football man made a sign at me with his hand" :rolleyes:

Football is gone crazy. So what if a player or manager makes a gesture towards the crowd ffs. They put up with all sorts of nasty crap from the crowds all the time and they are only human.

Ah it depends on the gesture to be fair, you can't have managers or players flipping the bird at crowds containing kids. I get that the closed fist gesture isn't exactly great with kids around either but I dunno why but its less of a biggie to me.

Very likely he could face a probe if he were to go to jail. :pac:

Chances are those kids have heard and seen a lot worse from their own crowd to provoke the reaction anyway.

Not much you can do about that though. You can't dispel all the bad things in the world with a 'ah sure it happens worse somewhere else'. This is something you can do something about.

Thugs? They're football fans singing songs at football matches. You should try it sometime.

I think pretty much everyone in the ground found the chant funny, including the travelling Spurs fans near me. Except Harry himself.:pac:

Did they have a giggle at the "Does your telly know your here" chant? MNS facebook page posted about it and there seemed to be a unity between fans of clubs givings Shams fans a pat on the back for that gem of a chant.

There's also many variations that you can do to the tune of "Only Fools and Horses".

You should be in jail and you're just a tax dodging bastard were sung.

Like he doesdt hear worse in England.

No worries if he gestured to the crowd. All part of the game.

No, more like

Any news on how the Irish spurs dealt with disrespectful and unsporting questions such as "Does your telly know you're here?" and "What's it like to see a game?"

The ones waving a tricolour didn't seem to mind, at least. Funny to see a tricolour and a union jack waved by fans of the same club at a game.

This is actually a story?

A clenched fist and the PC police get a hardon.

What the fúck is wrong with people these days?

Never get the tri-colour thing myself. Celtic fans are always at it too.

Lol at those two chants :pac:

In fairness the Rovers fans seemed in fine voice.

The "you can stick your english football up your arse" could have got to Harry too though

Will someone think of the children

If we abuse him, he should be allowed to react a bit. If somebody complained, that's ridiculous.

iregk

To be fair to Harry I really don't see how this is news. We gave him nothing but abuse for 90mins, its only fair game for him to have some form of comeback.

The chants to the south stand were quite funny. "Where's your barstool gone" was another good one.

I was quite enjoying the revival of the old skool "he's got a pineapple on his head" aimed at Assou Ekotto.

Am I to understand he shook his fist at them, 'Why-I-Aughtta...' style? And people are upset?

Pretty much.

As for ricero. Good god man thats the worst comment I've ever seen on this forum. Have you ever been to a game before? Probably a silly question.

super_furry

Hang on, people aren't upset. Everyone in the stadium thought it was hilarious. There's been no complaints from anyone in the crowd and nothing will come of it, it's just another non-news story.

stovelid

Some other gems last night:

"You're not fucking Irish" (to Irish Spurs)

"You can stick your Englsih football up your arse"

"Feed the Bohs, let them know it's Christmas time"

Indeed, it's great how English football has allowed the is all now to forget our grudges and sing happily alongside our friendly neighbours under a Union Jack. My only disappointment is that they'll be in Ukraine for the Euros so we won't be able to belt out "Rule Brittania" with them from the stands. Shame really.

As for the Redknapp thing, it's much ado about nothing. Football has rightly cracked down on racist and discriminatory chanting but there's nothing wrong with fans giving a bit of stick to somebody. As for the person who considers them "thugs"? Have you ever been at a match? :rolleyes:

Everybody singing the chant has done something that may have warranted a jail sentence?

Obviously a supporter of our beloved national sports.
