'Bol-locks' in what sense exactly? I happened to have thought that an excellent post regarding the consequences of homophobic chanting.

In truth, I mostly agree. Though I still stand by my observation of it being a complex issue as, rather regrettably, some still believe even direct abuse to be banter or funny, and some are inherently homophobic for whatever reason and hold back in calling out unacceptable language or behaviour...

As I hope you're aware, you have absolutely no obligation to engage with the thread if you are not interested. The subject of homophobia in football interests me, but it's a complex issue thus I opened up this discussion. Your lazy and simple-minded interpretation of it being a measure of...
