Quite topical at the moment.
Why do people at football matches behave in a manner that they would never dream of as an individual.
Even I will admit to singing in the crowd "Get your tits out for the lads" on occasions but would never do that in normal life.
Perhaps it's age but I hate songs that include swearing and abuse. "Oldhams a sh*thole" , "Your support is fu$king sh&t" etc etc
Too me it becomes even more confusing as it appears the same people that attend Rugby matches do not appear to do it.
Where banter happens at Rugby matches, football appears to be down right abuse between rival sets of supporters with almost violent reactions if it is returned.
There seems to be more respect at Rugby matches as in real life, but why not in football ?
It's always seemed a bit homoerotic to me, much like many public school institutions.
I hadn't got a clue what was going on when I went to a Wasps match, seemed to make no sense, but it was a nice day out and I enjoyed myself despite not having a clue what was going on. There's got to be something CCFC can learn from in that, because I'm mad about CCFC and love and understand football, but don't enjoy the experience.

most chants are harmless enough and even the swearing doesn't bother me unless its in the family area, but "your moms your dad" really dies make me cringe with embarrassment.
People behave in cars in a much different way than if they were walking past the same people too. Environment innit.
Isn't it played by people just not good enough to play football.
As a footnote, I do like not having to explain what c**t means after going to other sporting events
I'm just amused that people think football still has a tribal nature
