They were singing about him being a Rent Boy (he isnt)

shocking

[arista]

Yes that's wrong
he is a Professional Footballer.

[The Slim Reaper]

"Chelsea rent boy" has been a longstanding song that all teams sing against Chelsea and their players, but it is outdated, homophobic and completely inappropriate.

I could find fairly recent examples of most teams in a rivalry with chelsea singing it, and much like the sectarian songs that are sung north of the border, it is way past time that they are eradicated from the sport.

So it's the job title that is your issue?

[bots]

opposing football fans have always been a bit offensive, it's a cultural thing, they just need to find some new ways of being offensive

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think Liverpool sing about the Munich disaster as well

disgusting from their fans

[Crimson Dynamo]

imagine if you were a gay man about to come out in the away end at Norwich

how you would feel about your own Liverpool fans??

It shows you're not actually serious about the OP, LT, and are using it as an attempted wind up, which is embarrassing but completely on brand.

Liverpool fans actually hammer our own fans in the ground for singing that song.

Of all the fans to accuse other fans of being out of order, Rangers and Celtic aren't the ones. Something, something, glass houses.

That’s one way of looking at it :laugh:

whataboutery

this thread is about Liverpool fans this weekend and their homophobic antics

you were very keen to condemn "England" fans in the summer and this week

will you condemn your own disgusting fans?

or will you stay silent?

I'd suggest I condemn bigotry in all forms, which is why I criticise your posts so often, and it seems as though whattaboutery around England was your actual true aim. :blush:

It's a silly comment to say the least.

Obviously though I do feel sorry for the innocent Liverpool fans who didn't make the comments.

quite right Mock its a minority but it seems to be a scarily large one

[Mystic Mock]

You might be right that it's a large minority, either way these "fans" have definitely brought some unnecessary controversy to the club they supposedly love.

Should be identified and given a final warning

[thesheriff443]

The fact football fans have kicked fellow fans to death over a game of football played by millionaires tells you all you need to know.

[Livia]

It's always happened, hasn't it? I remember the West Ham fans hissing at Spurs... Chelsea Rent Boy is an old, old chant and probably nothing to do with any one particular player. There are stupid, insulting people everywhere. We can't legislate for them all. Let the gob****es let loose... at lease then we can see exactly who they are.

So much crap going on in the world and we're back to moaning about sticks and stones.

[Crimson Dynamo]

being debated live on Talksport now with Jim White and Simon Jordan

[Oliver_W]

He's a bit of alright tbh, he probably could make a lot of money if he became a rent boy.

[Cherie]

I think a simple solution would be to be very clear on the terms and conditions of season tickets, plenty people on the wait list to take their place when they are kicked out

[Beso]

I'm sure his millions will have softened the blow somewhat

[Ashley.]

It's not a 'cultural thing', it's homophobia. It's possible to be passionate about a sport and not be a complete twat about it.

[Alf]

Liverpool fans have always been sh!t-houses. It comes from only being the second biggest club in the city. Very bitter people are Liverpool fans.

[The Slim Reaper]

How you doing Alf? Any word on if Everton will still be selling half season, season tickets around Christmas time like they always do, to boost attendances again?

[Glenn.]

I'm sure his millions will have softened the blow somewhat

You’re right! Just because he has millions it means he can be subjected to homophobic abuse!

[Mystic Mock]

You’re right! Just because he has millions it means he can be subjected to homophobic abuse!

Now you're learning.:hehe:

Seriously though I don't know why his money is an important factor here?:shrug:

[Glenn.]

Now you're learning.:hehe:

It’s just a way to excuse the homophobic abuse.

It’s the pig ignorance of some people for me!

[Beso]

Is he even gay?

[Beso]

And how does the song go?

[Glenn.]

Is he even gay?

Would it matter if he wasn’t then?

[Beso]

Would it matter if he wasn’t then?

Yes.

[Glenn.]

Yes.

Why?

[Glenn.]

Can’t wait for this

[Beso]

Why?

Because then hes just another highly paid footballer who cant take stick from the crowd.

He's out on rent from chelsea ain't he? They must mean that if hes not gay.:shrug:


If it's not that, and they do mean rent boy, as in the male prostitute hired out for sex, mainly to men, kind.

Then so what! Who's feelings are we protecting here? Male prostitutes?

We now have to protect the feelings of male prostitutes?

Stop ****ing asking then.:joker:

I was just curious how you were going to excuse the homophobia that’s all. Your pitiful attempt was enough to confirm my already low opinion of you

Crazy.

[Beso]

The events behind the origins of the chant are part of football legend.

It is a piss take, and shouldnt be seen as homophobic.

Nor should the feelings of male prostitutes be a world wide issue.

No, this is different.

This chant is about an event that happened and it's a chant used against a club and its fans...not against homosexuals.:nono:

The chant suggests that being gay is something to laugh and joke about. That's all. I feel similarly about people using women as adjectives to describe weak men - it just isn't funny to me.

It's more about being a prostitute.
