    When I think back to some of the chants you’d hear in the men’s game. It just puts this into perspective.

      If only he was. He’s probably turning in his grave.

      What do you think H stands for?

        Would it be Ho? Since apparently the ‘virgin’ Mary gave birth to him.

        Joseph was obviously one gullible bastard.

    Remember the final erasure of all forms of freedom of speech is what the ghouls orchestrating this nightmarish society dream of. They do not care an iota about “misogyny”

    I agree that the US style of free-speech where they let big media outlets villainize minorities is wrong, but this seems a bit too soft to arrest people over too.

    "P A L A C E

    Stevey Coppel has VD

    Nick nack paddywhack, give a dog a bone

    Crystal Palace, fuck off home"

    Would the police arrest a female fan for singing this? Would they fuck.

    This is completely and utterly absurd. Two 17 year olds with an incredibly mild chant. Imagine being the police officer wasting your time with this. Just tell the kids to stop chanting it and move on.

    She’s trying to do her job and shouldn’t have to face abuse for it. If most of you ( or your mum, sister, girlfriend, wife) were abused everyday at work by complete strangers then you’d have a completely different viewpoint.

      I’m assuming those downvotes come from those who were left at the dogs home back door as a day old baby because there were no dustbins handy.

      Yeah no one is saying the chant is ok, they’re saying it’s absurd they’re getting arrested for it.

      Male refs get called things just as bad like 100+ times per game lol?

      No one is arresting people over it.

      Britain doesn’t have it.

      It has freedom expression (apparently), butbthebpolice arrest people for freedom of expression also.
