When I was a Paxton Road season ticket holder, for over a decade, I sat next to a Jewish woman. She mentioned to me, during one of the first home games I attended sitting in my new seat, that she hated the word yid. She would have been in her late fifties at the time and it was the late 90's. She explained that she had been taunted with the word yid as a child.
I am not Jewish.
I never sang the word yid watching Tottenham ever again.
I understand why we sing it. It has generally been an admirable act of solidarity carried out for the right reasons.
I just think that it can never be right for any non Jewish person to chant this word if it offends any Jewish person, under any circumstances.
It is that simple.
I also never sang the songs about Arsene Wenger or Sol Campbell. I often had my 10 year old daughter with me but I wouldn't have sang them in any circumstances to be honest.
I think it is fair to take the pi55 out of footballers, referees, chairmen etc but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed.
The best chants are funny and not offensive to anyone.

I honestly wish that no one ever fucking mentions Sol’s name again and he can disappear into the obscurity that, as a failed manager, he belongs. Sadly, they still sing Sol songs where I watch the game. He’s still living rent-free in some Spurs supporters’ heads.
I am Jewish and give all our fans permission to use the word.
Be interesting to see how things progress with the use of the yid word now that manor Solomon is in the team and more importantly how he feels about us using the word
If he comes out and says he finds it offensive and rather we didn’t use it that would be enough for me to stop using it.

Good point.
Do we know how Rosenthal felt about it ?
Different times I know but still.
...but imagine he says he FUCKING LOVES IT and is proud to be a Yiddo... Then what?
Still won't give Spurs fans license to use it... But we will!
This is a one-way street I fear!
I stopped using it when a friend of mine who is Jewish asked me to because he was uncomfortable with me using it.
If Solomon doesn't enjoy I do hope that the fanbase does respect his wishes.
There are other ways to show solidarity with the club.
I think it would be sad to give the word back to the Nazi's and the scum of the world.
Fuck me the irony… what a piece of shit
They are what they accuse you of being. All projection.
Completely forgotten about Bosnich doing that. Reading this part of a match report from the time sounds like last season
“Spurs' drab home performances badly needed an infusion of something heady to offset the sort of football that has made going to White Hart Lane more of an obligation than a pleasure.”
Independent
I commend any fans here who still support spurs after enduring the 90's
I nearly included Sugar’s quote about spending money but didn’t want to provoke a Levy discussion tbh
Loved the 90,s mate, week in week out we would be there.
Proper people , never let the footy spoil a great day out lol
So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out on Monday night!!
Premier League BANS Israeli or Palestinian flags from stadiums
The Premier League has banned any Israeli or Palestinian flags at matches this weekend in an effort to avoid any potential incidents in relation to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.www.dailymail.co.uk
We see so many Star of David SPURS flags on any given matchday...
but not one Star of David pro-Israel flag!!
(and yes, I know they're the same flag... THAT'S the point!)
I'll just leave this here;
en.m.wikipedia.org
The word was stolen FROM us... (Jews, not Spurs fans!)
Then it was completely turned around and spat out at us... (Jews, then Spurs fans!)
It's not about simply reclaiming it, the word was never theirs in the first place...
It's an act of re-re-defining its' ORIGINAL meaning.
Fuck it, I'm just gonna say it, so sorry for any offense caused... But the words Nigger and Paki were NEVER EVER originally used as friendly words...
YID (once upon a time) was!
The N word & P word have very different origins to the Y word
...they are NOT the same thing!
I know there's a Jewish thing and then a Spurs thing... and the two aren't the same thing, but they're linked.
If YIDDO is sung on Monday, it's cos of Spurs... But I fear we'll be thrust into the spotlight of some pro-Israeli support... Which may or may not be the case...
