any of them know anything about Stephen Jennings
Ask him at Yeovil :claping hands:

Sorry no
Thought the 10 year old was going to be the last, but after drumming into the kids as they grew up not to have kids until they were sure they wanted them they all decided they didn't want any
No grandkids in sight so we decided to have another. Daughter turned up in September, so I thought it would be a good idea to try and have two in the same year at school My 2 year old has been eyeing up girls around the age of 16 since he was 1, so he might be after an older girlfriend soon

Are you saying swearing and racism are similar in any way?
I have always sworn for as long as I remember, but have always had lots of friends that are black. Try making a mallicious racist comment in front of me. You would soon find out.

Good chance we will have a few in there.
Arranged to meet up with someone from here a week or two ago. No plans made yet, but will be going to a few pubs. At some time I have to meet up with coaches that are coming as my ticket is on one of them

Keep her away from my 2 year old then. He is a right bugger at the moment
Terrible 2's?? It gets worse, my eldest is 5 and a half and he's getting a right cheeky monkey!

It is my 7th time at the terrible two's :laugh: Not a bad lad at all, but he is big and strong for his age. A few months ago a woman asked why he wasn't at school
He has no idea of fear. If I tell him off for anything all I get is 'I not lisnin' Eats like a pig. He has 2nds, 3rds and sometimes 4ths. Then he starts on puddings. Not fat at all though. He just never stops until bedtime, then he gets up about 5:30am every day.

Bad language at City games is nothing new. When I was a kid in the 1960s there was Polish bloke in the seat next to us in the Main Stand at Highfield Road who used to swear like a trooper all through the game. It didn't bother me but my mother* used to complain bitterly: "Do you mind, I've got a child here".
*My dad had a season ticket but if he couldn't use it for any reason he gave it to my mother.

What does Nonsense on stilts mean?
Personally I swear all the time and dont see a problem with it, words are deemed 'offensive' because we say they are. c**t simply means a womens lady garden and shit obviously means defecating, so why do they become offensive over and above the words vagina and poo? I struggle to see in general how we define one word for something as being the worst word in the English language and another is perfectly acceptable?
Yes there are times were swearing is not appropriate in formal situations, in front of parents or at a job interview but at the football at the weekend in a casual and relaxed environment I dont see what harm it does so long as you are not discriminating against someone based on religion, color etc...

I have mixed feelings on this as I have been known to swear like a trooper but I wouldn't be haapy with anyone going OTT near my son, or the wife for that matter.It's also true that a certain amount is to be expected at games, but a little consideration sometimes wouldn't go amiss.........this fence is ever so uncomfortable !!

But that's the way it is. It is deemed to not be acceptable by society, in the same way you are not allowed to walk naked around the town centre.
Would you be happy for say children of 3, 4 or 5 to be saying c.nt, sh..t and f.ck all the time? No, of course not.
You yourself say you don't see a problem with it but then say at the same time say that there are times when it is not acceptable. Well in front of children or face to face with customers in work situations is deemed not to be acceptable. Now you can argue rightly or wrongly that it shouldn't be like that but is just the way it is and as a society it is deemed to be inappropriate and unacceptable.
Whether they are just words or not they are deemed unacceptable and we simply have to accept that is the way it is. Otherwise, we might as well teach children to swear at school and just say every word is acceptable.
C..t may be just a word for a vagina but it is a word that is deemed to be derogatory.
The problem I find is that my 8 year old is taught that swearing is wrong and if she did it at school she would be in serious trouble. She then goes on buses and in shops and round town and to football matches and hears it all the time. She then wants to know why people do it when she has been told it is very wrong. I just have to say that the people are 'naughty.'
I don't swear at football matches because invariably there are children about everywhere.
You go to see a band in concert, say someone like Muse, then it is a different audience, later at night and invariably an audience predominately made up of adults.
There will always be swearing at football matches because of the nature of the game and the intensity etc. but that at the same time doesn't give people free reign to swear as much as they like when they like in the presence of children.
Where I sit you hear the odd swear word here and there and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I guess at the end of the day it is all about degrees.

Good point.
Am I bothered about swearing at football matches? Not in the slightest. Would I be bothered about swearing at a football match when I have kids in tow? Most certainly.
And this is something we should all be aware of. Surely you temper your language dependent upon who is sitting around you. Show consideration for others. Remember, Margaret Thatcher is no long Prime Minister.

The game I fell in love with was a working class passionate game. Ideas like banning swearing take that away and ruin it. Problem with swearing? Go in the family end then. Swearing isn't that bad and it pisses me off when people get all high and mighty about it. Some people swear some don't, get over it. Think the Ricoh is bad now? Take away swearing and you're lose even more of the atmosphere. Ahh but you may be offended so that's ok.
I agree with this in part. I miss those days when the football was just like a massive version of my local pub and I used to stand on the kop and swear and abuse the away fans with the rest if them. Unfortunately the game has changed ( full of the type of fans parodied in the Fast Show sketch).
Thing is you can t do anything about change it happens and what I don t agree with is the attitude of if you don t like someone's behaviour it's you who has to move. Its all over modern life

I'm gonna have to sit on the fence on this one, guys. Whilst I agree that swearing is a way of life at football matches, I agree that to swear profoundly around youngsters and females, just isn't on. I know that it would be really hard to scream out at a player if he's just missed a sitter: " Oh, you silly Billy! That was a bit of a rum do old chap! Bit of a jolly mis-hit there, what!" I have always swore like a trooper, after years of factory work and an early life in the army, but I am always wary of kids and females around me. And to say "Sit in the Family Stand", that's not the answer. I was a steward in the 1990's at HR in the so-called Family Stand. Swearing and bad behaviour were rife there as well.

Swearing is part of the passion of the game, yes it might be perceived as limit vocabulary but it is used In The positive as well as the negative, more negative as city fans!
Doesn't offend me, I don't agree with swearing at our own players but knock yourself out against theirs and the ref! I think there has to be an acceptance in some areas of the stadium like 15 and I don't understand when people bring their kids in that area and complain, what are you going to expect with virtually all lads?
Any obusive behaviour in the family areas should be addressed though.

I'm not sure swearing is always an indication of a limited vocabulary - if I add swear words to my usual lexicon it's increasing my vocabulary. After all, it was Shakespeare himself who coined 'cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war, now let's have it you facking caaaaaaaaahnts'

Liam, doesn't "nob" have a "k" in the front? Not sure on the correct spelling, but being a representative of the grammar police on these boards, I feel I have to point out the error of your ways. Please use spell-checker as this assists in other readers knowing whether you mean "Nob" as a place in Jerusalem, "Nob" as in a slang term for a head or KNOB as in prick.
I thank you in anticipation of your future use of the spell-checker x x

ajs: I think there are too many "i"'s here. Doesn't 'shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit' only have 19 "i"'s. You inadvertently have put 20. Please be aware in future

Anyone who takes kids into block 15 needs their heads looking at.
If I ever take my 8 year old we sit right at the block 20 end of block 19. There there is hardly any swearing there and that's the way it should be.
Think we all accept the odd 'shit' etc when a goal goes in or things are going wrong, but what isn't acceptable I would say in anything other than the blocks 15 of this world is 'Fook off you c**t' shouted from the stands at full volume.
As I said before, it's all about degrees.

The good thing is where I sit in Block 18 I'm surrounded by old blokes (I'm one myself now) so I don't have to worry too much about my six-year-old hearing stuff he shouldn't. Though, I do have to be careful myself as the only time I have to watch my language is at football matches and when i'm driving!
