Lincoln Away is the only time i have lost it with the players. In particular Jones.

We pay a lot of money to be entertained, if we are not entertained we are well within our right to complain

Mr Hedgehog you swear with the best of them, some of the things coming out of your mouth at Plymouth, well, lets put it down to the apples....

Surprised you could understand a word he said at Plymouth... suffering from advanced apple-juice-induced slurring, I believe!

I take my 9 year old lad with me.

I can accept the words bloody, f***ing, sh*t, but I do get annoyed with people who use the c word. I know it's a footbal match surrounded by adults, but some words are worse than others.

As a parent, I would appreciate some restraint...... please :wave:

I don't swear at all. I even stop singing some of the songs when it comes to the swearing bit.

I do say stuff like 'I just can't believe this ref or you're rubbish' but that's the extent of it.

That doesn't mean I don't feel the pain of watching a lousy performance though

You and me both - I had a severe case of Tourettes. When Mayo lumped it 78 feet in the air for the 187th time towards 4ft 5inch Leon Knight I couldn't contain myself in my abuse. Now I know it dosen't help but sometimes you just cant help it. Anyway as mentioned above, do you really think Cullip or the like said 'Unlucky Kerry, better luck next time old boy'

My 12yo (season ticket holder) and 14 + 8 yo (who come whenever we can get spare tix near us, which at the moment is quite often) quite enjoy the odd swear word.

We don't normally use that sort of language at home, but equally don't get over excited about 'protecting' them from it either.

I agree about the 'C*' word - I'd rather they weren't exposed to that. However, the occasional F* is not too distressing though, and assorted B*, W*, T* etc style words just add to the 'fun' for them :)
