[Nik29]

grow a pair!!!

Who?

[vanhoop]

nik29,the banters far worse on the pitch.have you ever played?sticks and stones and all that

[Nik29]

Everyone's making out like I can't take banter.. that's completely wrong and anyone who knows me will back that up.. I give it a lot and can take it with a smile when it's chucked back at me.

The stuff the Barnsley keeper got a few weeks ago was quality, very funny..

However, in my opinion there is a line.

Songs like "Let him die", "Drogba/Okocha's got AIDS" and "Where's your mother gone?" to Lampard are completely out of order, and actually quite cringeworthy.

[stanistheman]

It may be describled as banter, but it is quite offensive,especially considering the fact that in recent seasons, a number of players have actually died whilst playing.

It also isn't a good advertisement for those who rarely attend games to hear that. It's one of the reasons why many people hate football fans.

I went to the chelsea game and "Where's your mother gone?" to Lampard was NOT sung.
It was all directed about john terrys mum being a thief. I think your making stuff up now!

I never heard that either. Disgusting if true. Things like that have no place at football. John Terry's mum being a thief is funny. Lampards being dead is disgraceful.

[WeAreQPR12]

Agree but I still think he is making it up. Funny how neither of us heard that one.
I think he is making a mountain out of a mole hill. I have played football at a decent level and I used to hear alot worse. I was only earning £60 a match too!

[themodfather]

it's more to hurry the game up....many injuries can be treated off the pitch...

[WeAreQPR12]

Let him die is ment in Jest.
As you say it is to try and get the game on.
We do seem to have a few 'big girls blouses' on here.
I think they shouldn't leave the house and then they can avoid all bad language.

I agree completely.

And it was sung when he came on. Just not by very many at all.

I never heard it mate.
If I had, I'd probably have said something.

Banter is banter and I'm sure Lampard would have dismissed it for the *****ic chant it was, but it's still sick. If I lost a family member and they goaded me for it...I promise you I'd go away for a long, long time for my actions. Not a cyber warrior statement...just a fact.

It was a really small minority of fans, and it didn't catch on but it was still chanted, I don't know where from or who by because I was concentrating on the game.

RE me being a "big girls blouse" .. Not at all. As someone who has grown up with German background.. trust me I've had a lot of stuff said to me.. but I can take it on the chin and give it back just as well.

I just think "let him die" crosses the line.. especially as stanistheman said, when you think about what happened to people such as Antonio Puerta among others.
