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

shocking

Yes that's wrong
he is a Professional Footballer.

"Chelsea rent boy" has been a longstanding song that all teams sing against Chelsea and their players, but it is outdated, homophobic and completely inappropriate.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

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

I think Liverpool sing about the Munich disaster as well

disgusting from their fans

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??

yes they did LT

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

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

agreed Mock

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
