Coming back from chelsea away a couple of seasons ago , walking to tube station some west ham fans were singing songs about rent boys. Some doris started kicking off that it was her 2 sons first games and they shouldn't have to hear it. Her fella looked embarrassed. I pointed out politely that if it were their first game, taking them to chelsea v west ham, you know what you're going to get. More songs, she kicked off again, her fella even tried to point out that its expected and maybe trying to argue with west ham fans about foul language would only backfire on her. She ignored him, kicked off again, then the rent boy chants turned into piss taking of her.

My son boy is fully aware that "daddy uses fruity language at football". Dont swear in front of him at home... unless west ham are involved.
You cant complain about swearing at either football or pubs

We have this discussion on here regularly and pretty much everyone always agrees that anyone getting upset about swearing at a football match can fuck off.
Fuck all to do with gender though, what a strange thing to bring into it. Sign of the times I spose.

I work with a female, I wouldn't call her a lady, who drops more F and C bombs than 98% of the blokes do.
She is actually quite a decent person at heart but I have no idea why she feels the need to speak like a drunken tourettes tramp. Disgusting behaviour for a woman.

I don't know what these people worry about.
I'm sure their kids hear and say (and nowadays see) far worse on the playground. Kids need to learn that there is nothing really that wrong with swearing as long as it used in non tourettes style moderation and only at appropriate times in company that won't lose their shit the moment someone says something as lightweight as 'bugger'.
Kids swearing around grown ups is pretty much a no no, the other way around is acceptable in the right sort of circumstances. Like at a football game when some overpaid steal a living cunt is being a useless prick for example.
It's important to explain to girls that unfortunately for them it is generally wholly inappropriate unless extreme measures demand it whereas for blokes it is considered far more acceptable to let go of shit fuck cunt and bollocking fucking cunt shitbombs should the need arise.
Cunt me off it you disagree I couldn't give a fuck.

Fuck them. if they don't like swearing at football then they should go to ballet instead.
I have taken my kids for the last 5 years and told them before their first game that they would hear words at West Ham that they were not allowed to repeat at school or in front of their mum.
If they got upset by it then they simply wouldn't have come again until they were old enough to cope.
It's outrageous how people want to foist their own standards on those around them as if they are the only people in the world who matter.
There has always been swearing at football. If you don't like it, or are worried about your kids hearing it then don't go. Simple.

My kids were about five and six when they first went to matches.
I used to give them £20 As swear box money as they would hear me swear, it was the only time I’d use that language in front of them or any other kids.

Took my boy to his first match at Upton Park during the Di Canio era, aged 6. At one point a lady who was sat in front of us told him that he better not repeat what he was singing and shouting to his mum when he got home. Everyone around us just cracked up with laughter.....how times have changed.

It's the sanitised world of football we now live in where people are offended by everything. Swearing and football go hand in hand and always has done. As for kids not even watching the game as they are on their tablets or phones the simple answer to that is that the responsible adult taking them takes their phones off them from the moment they enter the stadium to the moment they leave. If they are bored TOUGH if they are upset due to us losing TOUGH suck it up.

Took both my kids from 4 to UP in the BMU, mainly because I wanted to continue sitting with my mates and not have a boring experience in the family area.
There was obviously swearing but they were too young to really understand what was being said. If they repeated it at home a quiet word was had.
They have to get used to the real world and hearing swearing is part of that.

Three kids in front of me singing “ YOU’RE FUCKING SHIT”!
I looked at their dad and he was clearly embarrassed and was obvs working out what to say to them later but as every fucking adult was singing it he could hardly give them a clip.

Depends where you are, but God knows what that means in the new ground. At Upton Park I always thought that it was out of order in the West and East upper because of the old people and women, no problem on the terraces though. Then when they did away with them, I reckon if you took kids into the chicken run or two ends then it was on you what your kids heard. The whole world doesn’t have to fit itself around your choices.

My old man did it in the west lower when I first went in 1989 I was 8 yo. He wasn’t lairy about it and it was second from the front so those places are usually a bit more respectable.
The blokes were fine and toned it down a bit. My dad is old school West Ham.

One game last season , some bloke turned up with his kid that was about ten. Someone stood up and swore only for this bloke to stand up and start telling the swearer that his kid was in tears because he'd sworn , he then got up and stormed off, never to be seen again.
My boy turned to me and said that the only reason his son was in tears was because his dad was making such a scene over a nasty word being said that he was embarrassed.

I take mine they not far off these ages. Firstly you’re right I tell mine you will hear swearing. Also though if I go with my mates and I have kids close, then I do my upmost not to.
