...than seeing a grown man being ejected from a football ground (and I'm making an assumption that it was for the level of abuse directed at the Albion fans) to then see his small, young son follow him.

Great example Dad - well done.

In all seriousness, I do agree with your sentiments. The footballers aren't the role models. The man that takes you to the game is.

I know of a middle aged Palace dad who taught his 4 year old son the 'Brighton take it up the bum' song.. classy.

How many generations in that family does uncouth behaviour go back I wonder. This guy probably heard his own father come out with similar things when he was just a kid himself.

To be fair we did also have 4 big boys rush to the front and because they got told off they kicked off with the stewards.

Very depressing.
Same sort of dad that will be shouting at his son and abusing the ref at Sunday morning kids football

Very much agree with that Bozza. The worst I saw was at Millwall away a few years back when some Brighton fan marched his kids down to the front to have a go at the stewards saying they should make sure they pen the Millwall fans in at the end before turning to some Millwall fan in the distance who was baiting him and replied "I'll skin you afterwards you c**t!" The steward to his credit said if he carried on like that he could leave right there and then.

Was that because of the homophobic abuse being directed at Brighton fans which the stewards ignored ? There was a tweet which suggested that's why it kicked off with the stewards.

No, our big boys were whining to the stewards about homophobia - worse than Liz Costa.

I couldn't hear what those half dozen fans were shouting/singing so will reserve judgement but it did seem a surprise when the stewards chucked them out.

Similar happened at an away match at Sheffield United in 2006. Very depressing to sit next to a kid who pleaded with his drunk dad to stop after he got his first warning then sobbed when the stewards came to kick his dad out.

VERY poor stewarding @Suspolfootball ample homophobic abuse from @OfficialITFC fans, but Stewards only interested #BHAFC fans. Any arrests?

And what about the Ipswich stewards? Waited till all hell broke loose and then had died down before sorting out the Ipswich wind up merchants.

Could and should have been nipped in the bud in first 30 seconds.

So is the criticism aimed at those complaining about the Homophobic baiting, SOG, or the behaviour of some of our own (no doubt pissed-up) gobshites?
