Fucking hell.
Stay out of stadiums. Some pony chant for shithouse students who don't even know that they're singing about.
Fuck off.
There's a TV screen now in Park Lane Lower, block 34.I couldn't see an appropriate thread for this, and there should be somewhere to collect evidence that modern football is fucked and needs fixing!
After getting free tickets to QPR today, I was in the stand waiting for the game to start and had to try and ignore gits on TV - tellys do not belong in football stands!
January 2013 - Ajax fined £8,500 for fans' banner
Before their Champions League game against Manchester City supporters of the Amsterdam club protested against rich clubs over-spending by unfurling a banner with a picture of a sheikh clutching a bag of money with the caption "against modern football". Uefa deemed it "provocative and inappropriate" and fined the club.

The fact they were fined for this demonstrates the stupidity / self centered attitudes of those running our game.
Were fans being arrested for free speech and standing in 66?
No nothing like that, just about teams playing not to lose instead of trying to win and some of the ungentlemanly conduct on display by the players.
I was just making the point that modern football has always been shit, even back in the days when it wasn't...maybe in 50 years time they'll be harking back to the good old days of the 2010s.

I was in a London pub on Saturday night and a bunch of lads started doin that chant and filming it on their phones. Only one of them was a city fan.
Has anyone here read The Beautiful Game? Searching for the soul of modern football, by David Conn?
Bought it as a little present to myself yesterday for some crimbo reading. Looks pretty good and a quick flick through revealed a fair few paragraphs about Woolwich and their snideness.

Isn't that just because you can't see the jumbo torn right at the back? I didn't know they had sky on it.
I used to work with an old boy who supports Barnsley. He brought me in a programme from the 60s, in which their (then) chairman had a right old rant about "too much money in the game nowadays". He'd be spinning like a propeller if he could see that Tevez payslip.
It's rather racist. They could've done without the picture.
The choice of image is unfortunate, but it's true that Arabic men are at the heart of the influx of money to the game.
It's also unfortunate that Ajax is the self-proclaimed 'Jewish Club' and they've picked an Arab for the image.
But I don't think it's deliberately racist.
