Just seen this there:

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?

Nothing new there then.

"you should be in Jail"

Ah here, he just asked a question like.

CSF · 16-12-2011 12:21AM

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

Guy:Incognito · 16-12-2011 12:22AM

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.

Bet ye all said same of Eric Cantona too ya?:pac::pac::pac::pac:

Redknapp is an idiot for letting these thugs get to him. I would expect better from harry

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".

stovelid · 16-12-2011 08:29AM

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

"after I gave him streams of dogs abuse for 90 minutes the big evil football man made a sign at me with his hand"

rolleyes

stovelid · 16-12-2011 08:41AM

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.

16-12-2011 08:43AM

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:

cyrusdvirus · 16-12-2011 09:14AM

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

stovelid · 16-12-2011 09:30AM

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

iregk · 16-12-2011 10:12AM

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.
