C U Next Tuesday! An old classic.
There We Are Then!
Mickey - Man U shirt!? Wash your mouth out young man!
So there we have it then, stop the C song by the fans and apologise to thise near you when you have to tell that f'ing twa in the black shirt he's a c at the top of your lungs! I may have done it myself but I'm not telling on here.
Man U! Oh dear. Please calm me down. I feel quite bilious. There's hundreds of 'em round here where I live now. Midlands Mancs! What's wrong with the Villa!? You were young Mickey, I forgive you... just!

I think a quick word with Rob the stadium manager for him to have a word with the group. He's alright and that may sort it?

There is one young lad who stands just in front of us who swears constantly throughout pretty much every game (we call him Pyms apprentice, for those of you who know Mark Pym!!).
He was worse even than usual at the Kidderminster (I think) game, even his friends seemed embarrassed!!
I noticed a steward pointing him out to his supervisor during the first half. He went off at half time for some food and low and behold he was as quiet as a mouse in the second half!!
I didn't see it, but I imagine the stewards took the opportunity to have a word when he was on his own. Very sensible attitude which avoided any of the agro which would have been caused if they had come onto the pop to confront him.
I didn't notice him at either the Blackpool or Rushden games so it seems to have done the trick (believe me, if he was his usual self you couldn't help but notice him!!)

The wit of the popular side! It really was great back in the late seventies/early eighties... A number of times some of the comments even made it into the Torquay United Topics page in the thursdays Herald. But it wasn't all plain sailing.. I remember one poor chap (and apologies for going slightly off topic here), must've been about 18 or 19 bringing his new girlfriend to her first game. A lovely girl, many of the local boys were keen on her, not least as her well known father was not only well off with a villa abroad but owned a large local garage meaning that that all important car service would cost less than it should (apparently). Now this guy was keen to impress and took his girl and stood in amongst his song singing witty friends. Half way into the second half and two players went down near to the pop side right in front of them and the ref blew his whistle. This chap went mental and started screaming at the ref and linesman that it was a b*****y free kick to us, that he was a blind b*****d, that anyone could see he was biased even his girlfriend who'd never watched football before could see it etc etc. On and on, jumping up and down, screaming, arms flying until he started to realise that nobody else was complaining, indeed the whole pop side had gone quiet and where now staring. Then he looked onto the pitch and saw the ref, linesman and all the players near by were also staring at me (sorry...him). At which point the ref turned away to allow Ian Twitchin to take the kick... Poor chap took along time to get over the humiliation and I believe even now says very little at games!

Only after 5 mins tonight, they were at it again. - "the referee`s a cxxx ! and it could easily be heard in the family stand. I take my 2 and half year old girl to games, she repeats everything at the moment, if this continues i will not take her (and she is the next generation of TQ supporters)
This is not on, and totally unacceptable. I was hoping to see Alex Rowe after the game, but didnt, instead i shall email him.
Something has to be done NOW !!!!!

You could clearly hear him described as a w****er tonight on the telly, and I kind of assumed a few were trying to "downgrade" the c*** chant. Perhaps not, then. |

I've never joined in a chant at a match which was embarrassing or harmfull. It's one thing that I haven't done and never will.
I'm not whiter than white, far from it. I have called the odd poster on .net by the 3,21,14,20th letter of the alpahbet, I'm not proud of it but repetative posters did deserve it on that site.
The worst I've heard at a ground and been too embarrassed to join in:
"Show me your starfish" directed at a female steward at Macc in 2006.
The best chant I ever heard was at Rochdale, maybe around 2003 when ITV digital collapsed.
The ITV cameraman was filming and a chant quickly started "BBC, BBC, BBC!!!"
Quality banter that one.

Statement of Sam: 1400 Friday 8th April 1977. On Duty. Mike 24. To Torquay United Football Ground. 15.30 Saw a youth in Mini Stand who I now know to be the defendant S....s. He was amongst about 100 other Exeter supporters who were chanting 'Youre going to get you f......g heads kicked in' towards the Torquay supporters on the left side of the ground and also 'youre a load of f......g bastards'. S was distinctive because he had a very bright red jumper. S was also chanting these songs and being abusive towards the Torquay fans. About 2 minutes later I saw S run from a group of tightly packed youths in the centre of the mini stand knocking them aside and causing inconvenience to them. Several tumbled down the terracing and they voiced their displeasure. I approached S and said ' Whats the idea of pushing these people'. He replied 'I want a light. Have you got a light mate'. I said 'You are under arrest for insulting and threatening behaviour'. I cautioned him and he replied 'Thats all right. I get my lawyer'. S placed in the van.
Actual pocketbook entry of this incident.

But what happened to him Sam, I'm sure that was the match that many City fans ran around the streets after the game hitting out at TUFC fans who were near, but then I may be wrong and it may have been a match some years later.

Don't know Dave. The Magistrates were pretty strict then rather than the talking heads they are now.
Anyhow, later that afternoon.
17.45 Torre Abbey Meadows. After following 250 Exeter City supporters, they all sat down at Kings Drive (this was in protest at being corralled by police). After about 30 seconds the accused W got to his feet and began running towards Kings Drive. Because of this all the others got to their feet and also began to run, stampede fashion, towards Kings Drive. Watts was shouting. There were several people walking in Kings Drive and along the seafront near the railway station. I halted W and arrested him for threatening behaviour. cautioned. Answer 'Yes'.

I am one of the "older" generation who, when a young lad, got a good smacking from my father for using what today wouldn't even be called a swear word. Over the years the use a various words in the language changes. Let's face it when I was a lad being Gay meant being happy and enjoying life. Somewhat different today!.. I reluctantly have to accept that certain words that once were regarded as swear words now form part of normal language. Words such as the "F" word and "W****r" are used as everyday words by certain strata of society whose vocabulary is perhaps somewhat limited, without even realising that many of us are offended by their use. However, even today I feel the "C" word, which is what we are mainly taking offence at, is still a taboo word and I agree with those who feel something should be done to stop it. It is up to the Club to decide the best way, but a few quiet words from the stewards might be a start. Let's face it, if we stand on a yellow line or have a bottle with a top on we are regarded as criminals of the lowest order, so the use of obscene language should be dealt with in the same way. Has anyone actually complained to the Club, i.e members of the Board? or told them of Dave's conversation with the very upset grandparents who are never coming to Plainmoor again? Perhaps we should.
