Texia Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Football is one of the social situations where swearing as fair game, imo of course. If someone being excessive, slavering and veins near bursting out their head, then aye have a word but anywhere apart from the Gorgie and I think a wee swear is sound.

Son Of Anarchy Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I thought I was going to be ejected for letting one off. Seriously eggy stink bomb type one.

henry Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Let's not swear in family section if possible but the rest of the ground it's ok. Steward should have been told to **** off & mind his own business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashmir Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I wanted to report someone for low vocabulary as all they did was shout very loudly 'prick' every few minutes, though on occasion mixing it up a with a naughty word and the player/person it was aimed at. He was spot on with shouting about Imrie being a prick but I was disappointed there was no leading swear word. This tube was near us. His patter was embarrassing & actually getting really boring. Even my young son was shaking his head & cringing for the poor guy. I tried to explain to him that I thought he probably had Tourettes. I don't see what's wrong with having a wee bit respect for the people around you, a bit of swearing is fair enough, but to be constantly shouting it at the top of your voice just gets a bit much. Surely it's not too much just to tone it down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally they're good at taking a bottle of juice from someone.For what they earn I'm surprised they even face up to a supporter.Are they not 'here for your safety'.And for what it's worth I don't think it's either big or brave to tell them to F off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governor Tarkin Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I was speaking to the steward at the top of the stairs between sections F and G yesterday. I remarked that it was unusual to see a steward up there for the duration of the game, to which he replied that they'll be posting someone up there as standard now due to complaints about naughty language and behaviour in that part of the ground. Maybe he was talking pish. Can anyone clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I take my kids and I couldn't care less if somebody swears in front of them. It's my choice to take them and amazingly enough they still get on with their lives after hearing a bloke shout a few swear words. Budge would love your type right enough. It's not much effort to shout other words unless you have an incredibly stunted vocabulary. I swear all the time among friends but will show a bit of respect and rein it in when there are lots of bairns in earshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who says or acts otherwise seriously need to take a long hard look at themselves if they really can't control their self. I swear along with mates, but I've never sworn in front of my son, parents older relatives etc & don't intend to. I know when not to. So, why should others? Is it really that difficult? I'm as passionate about my team, I just don't need to have an attack of Tourette's to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sat in the Gorgie last season and have moved back to the Wheatfield this season mainly due to the woman who sat behind us. Now I'm no shrinking violet but she was unbearable, every second word was c u next Tuesday and we left each game covered in her spit.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I heard of two pensioners telling each other to f off yesterday, apparently over Souttars only misplaced pass of the day. One apparently you would think is Souttars grandfather the other just turns up to yell abuse at any mistakes.

People who swear have always been spoken to if someone complains or the stewards/police think it excessive. The vast majority of peopl at football who swear don't get spoken to, in my experience. Note that I have no idea what the OP shouted or how bad, or not, it was. People will continue to swear at football imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowmans_Boot Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I started taking my son to the games a good few years back and told him that he would hear swearing a lot and also that I would swear there, whereas I dont really do so too much in everyday life. He accepted this with no issues, also swore at the games but it didnt become any kind of issue at all. I honestly do not see the problem with it. The danger with this type of thing is that you take the unique passion out of following a football club then you take the unique loyalty out of it, as well.

You talking about the bloke down at the front row ? He sits quiet as a mouse for an hour or so then it all seems to build up and out comes the rant. Saturday's rant was the funniest yet Dougie Imrie was getting it tight. Luckily no stewards around. Lots of sensible posts on this subject. It would be an idea for someone to bring these things to Mrs Budge's attention that while we love her to bits for all she has done for the club we don't want to sanitise football so much that it loses its characters from the stands.

wibble Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 People need to realise that business imperatives dictate how football clubs set their standards. If clubs want more families to attend and a more diverse crowd, then standards have to be higher. You wouldn't walk up Princes street yelling obscenities, don't expect HMFC to accept that sort of degenerate behavior.

I think you will find more people who stop going to matches if behaviour standards are to tight. People won't want to run the risk of being criminalised just because of a wee swear at the football. It's strange that there is all this tut tutting about swearing at the football when in an awful lot of families it's common for parents to use bad language in front of their children. That bothers me far more actually but when I have mentioned it to friends and family the answer is "well they hear it everywhere nowadays anyway". I prefer to keep my swearing in moderation and mostly at the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird, King and Michael Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My young son and I have had a season ticket in the Gorgie Stand for years. The swearing in there is as bad as any other area of the ground to be honest especially in the bigger games. Once or twice over the years I've asked people to tone it down a bit but normally you get met with an aggressive response which can make things uncomfortable for kids. I'm not a sweetie rustler, not easily offended, can understand that people are going to get animated and annoyed at the football but sometimes it is breathtaking the lack of self-control regularly displayed by grown men and women at football games especially in areas that are supposed to be designated as family friendly. In recent years I've watched a fair few games across both the English Premiership and Championship and I have to say there seems to be considerably less swearing at games down there. Hearts need to encourage as many new supporters and families through the doors as possible, I would hope that fans could self police themselves on this issue. Get passionate, get animated, moan at the ref or at a misplaced pass but try and have at least some self awareness about who may be around you in the stadium.

Erik Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hard to comment on this without really knowing the exact circumstances and context of what was said by both parties. If someones gone off on some raj rant with more sweary words than non sweary ones, and a steward politely reminds them to keep it in check - I've no real issue with that. For me that's a million miles away than a scenario whereby someone lets one wee sweary word out and has some power hungry steward come down on them like a ton of bricks with threats of ejection and banning orders being chucked about etc. From whats been said so far - i'm inclined to say what happened here was more a case of the former than the latter.
