Poverty chanting is simply not acceptable
As soon as once more, it’s essential to make the excellence between the various real Newcastle followers who got here to St James’ Park to help their group tonight, and the minority of idiots who assume that poverty chanting is honest recreation.
The problem at hand is unfortunately one which impacts each a part of the nation, and for so-called soccer supporters to make use of it as a way of ‘banter’ is much past the realms of acceptable behaviour.
There’s a giant distinction between slagging a participant or group in the event that they’re performing poorly, and making gentle of life-or-death conditions, with the latter a depressingly acquainted incidence at stadia in England in recent times.
The unhappy reality is that, till the authorities clamp down on such bile with correct punishments, it’ll proceed to rear its ugly head at matches. At some point we hope that such disgusting chanting will likely be a factor of the previous, however there’s quite a bit to be completed to make sure that it’s lastly stamped out for good.
