I'm sure most kids know not to the copy the language they hear in the stands. I've been watching R&D for 20 years and heard lots of colourful language, but it didn't affect me.

Funny that coachdean complains about our swearing when the Whitworths fans were far worse in the UCL KO Cup.

Please read my post correctly and you will see i didn't complain about the swearing just pointing out football has these elements which you will never get rid of. I agree there was swearing from our fans in the previous game. All i was saying you will get this at every football game across the country.There are many good people at Whitworth's FC who like yourselves do a lot of hard work and they put in a lot of time and effort, but they cant control everyones opinion or actions.

Nobody says you have to control everyone else and their actions, but you do have the ability to either condone it or make it clear that it is unacceptable and will be dealt with.

Everything that Whitworths have done that has been negative (and there is a fair list for just two games, two incidents of which are on film) the club have been apologists for. "Oh its all just banter" - except it has crossed the line on three occasions.

You should accept this, rather than attempting to play it down constantly. If one of our players kung-fu kicked an opponent, our manager would have something to say I am sure!

Ok i give up, I am not part of the committee at the club it is just my opinion not the opinion of the club. As you keep pointing out everything is on film which would probably also prove the behavior of some of your fans at the said mentioned games. I was just trying to build bridges between the clubs but i can see no-one is going to accept that. I wish we were as perfect as you, something i am sure the club will work on.

Dear oh dear! I'm happy for bridges to be built (as a mere, imperfect fan with no responsibility or official role) and I know everyone at AFC is delighted to see the Whitworths donation to the Dale Roberts Fund. However, to build bridges just accept some of your players were out of order instead of trying to point fingers in our direction to make up for their bad behaviour.

Cheers!

No but you can control the behaviour of the people that are supposed to represent your club including the players on the pitch yesterday and the reserve team in the stands last week. If you are happy aboput the way any of these representatives of your club have conducted themselves then it reflects pretty badly in my opinion.

Is this lad just trying to wind everyone up on here? Seems to be working, so a sarcastic pat on the back for you!
I'm sure most of our fans outbursts were in reaction to the continuing despicable acts of players on and off the pitch... Sort your players, sort the problem ;) or are they following orders? Haha don't want to cause trouble but.... Discuss

Whitworths number 10 is a complete cock. The goal wasn't even his, it was headed in by another striker.
When we played them two weeks ago he threatened to assault a supporter after we laughed at the "goal" that was disallowed. Then yesterday he just finally proved just how big a cock he really is. Ever since the last game against them we have been constantly warned about our behaviour and to not react or indeed incite anything that could cause aggravation. Then along comes this cock and seemingly with the support of his coaching staff, does exactly that. I hope the guy from the F.A. that was there reports him.

I see they had their own "Hand of God" 8-)

Eh! I didn't write the quoted text!!!!

Maybe if you'd put your point across better in your original post, I would have understood it more, had to read it a few times to work it out.
