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

    Jasus.

    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.

    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.

    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"

    Just seen this there:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/16210291.stm

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

    "you should be in Jail"
    Well if any group should know about that ........

    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.

    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.

    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.

    How ironic

    Anyway, I don't think anybody made a complaint so it's non-news. Harry gave a bit back and we wound him up so everybody happy.

    Harry was welcome to run across to the East Stand and start shouting point deduction for false accounts.

    Why is it funny? Why does it matter? Do you think these people are morons, hypocrites or insane?
