I don't go to games meaning to. Frustration gets the better of me. Maybe I should try going in sober
I reasonably, can't watch sport drunk. And I come from a country where you can drink in the stands. I would have a couple, but never to the state of drunk. I know the 'working class' reputation of football, but with the ticket prices and money involved in it, in comparison from as late as the 80s, the sport has cut a very different image. If you want to get obliterated and swear and even watch a fight, see you at the blaze in the new season.

The referees/authorities have brought that on themselves. If they sent players off, as they should, for such offences it would soon be cut out.
With regard to players swearing I can accept the odd expletive when he hits a wayward shot, that's frustration. What I cannot abide is when the likes of Rooney disagree with a refereeing decision and he is in his face using all sorts of industrial language, that is when he should quite simply be sent off. Until the F.A. start taking the lack of respect some players show the referees seriously, we will continually see it from the very top of our professional game down to children's football.

A good reason why younger kids should be in the family stand at grounds that have them. But if your kids are taught right from wrong there won't be a problem. Some people are surprised how I ended up from how I was when I was younger. I am very strict but also very fair with my kids.
I agree that swearing should not happen in front of smaller kids. A few months ago my 3 year old was getting frustrated trying to do something on her laptop. "Fuckinell" came from her little mouth. I found it hilarious. Wife went ballistic at meTold her it was wrong to say it. She has never said it again.
I love it when people stand up to shout and forget what they are going to say
Thats the beauty of a 32,000 stadium, usually if landed next to a particular moron you can sidle off somewhere else. Imagine being trapped next to a loony at Old Trafford where its always sold out. I'm more offended by brain dead comments than foul language !
as long as it aint racist i dont mind swearing at games however id prefer it if we didnt piss and moan when we retain possession for 30 seconds without shooting
Anyone who is offended everytime someone swears at a football match have been living in a bubble!I rarely swear ever but others are more prone. perhaps less educated folk can't find better words of expression? Truth is it can be amusing hearing a crowd swear at the referee like: "the referee's a bastard" I don't think they mean anything derogatory in reality do you? It's merely putting him down for poor decisions. Part of the banter which anyone can tune out and not really notice the 'word' or what it actually is supposed to mean!No in context there is nothing too wrong with a majority male crowd chanting away and individuals ranting in such fahion during high passion! The only objection I do have is when people around you are absolutely foul mouthed using the C word or worse which is offensive and unecessary. Stewards should study what should be tolerated and recognise when it's a bit too below the belt.
shame there is no like option on my mobile.This just about sums up modern day Britain.
"Saturday at the football is my day. A day off from working, a day off from the misses and if I choose to stand up,shout,swear, piss about at the football I will do it. If people are offended by my actions there's normally 20'000 other seats they can go and sit in!"
I could have picked a few other examples, nothing personal. Just about says it all about feck you Britain. Not a thought for anyone else.
Everybody swears which is acceptable what's not acceptable and welcome at the stadium is excesive language.
