          Difficult one, when some of their own fans call themselves by the Y word, on banners etc, but obviously it's all about the context, as we saw with the references to the gas chambers which was disgraceful, and akin to the hillsborough and munich chants.

            Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



            May the Lord bless this post.

              Serious debate please chaps. Any more of that and I'm afraid I will have no choice but to impose a temporary suspension.

                    I have a couple of Spurs mates you always refer to themselves as Yids, so it is a difficult one. For my part I always refer to the pair of them as "front wheels". So I guess it doesnt make me any better

                    I guess it is acceptable for them to want to be recognised as Yids. But what isnt acceptable is the racist chants against them

                          C'mon Yid!!!!!!!!!!!!! what's next??? Taffy, Jocks??? It's nickname. To me it's madness even calling it the Y word, where's the advert saying that opposition fans shouldn't sing "sign on" that's a lot more disrespectful than calling them yids.
                          I think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty. Robbie Savage 8/11/06

                          Are you watching Manchester United? Are you watching Chelsea? This is Liverpool F.C taking over the bloody world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              I feel they have drawn more negative press towards it by making this video, now every thug fan that travels to WHL will give them a nazi chant, likewise when Spurs travel away, I wasn't aware anyone was offended by the Spurs version of it. As has been mentioned previously they call each other it, and I call a kid at work 'Yiddo' didn't realise it could be so offensive to some people.
