I seem to remember some pretty grim chants aimed towards Gary Linekar when his son was ill.
I wasn’t at the game but the old man reckons that Newcastle fans at HR were especially awful/racist. He said it sounded like they were all at it.
Not a chant but the kilbane incident was shameful
Cant remember that at all, by us or away fans or before he came to Cov?

They (Newcastle) were chanting at the game we beat them 4-1, "You're just a town full of P***'s, and the volume of it suggested a majority.I seem to remember some pretty grim chants aimed towards Gary Linekar when his son was ill.

Newcastle used to sing a song (may still do but it's years since I've seen them live) aimed at the police about a criminal called Harry Roberts who shot dead 3 policemen in 1966Classless bunch as are Newcastle
Just googled him…he’s still alive, 85. Served 48 years.Newcastle used to sing a song (may still do but it's years since I've seen them live) aimed at the police about a criminal called Harry Roberts who shot dead 3 policemen in 1966

A lot of clubs sang it including coventryJust googled him…he’s still alive, 85. Served 48 years.
Why do they sing about him?!
Harry Roberts is our friendJust googled him…he’s still alive, 85. Served 48 years.

I was in with Newcastle fans at WBA with my friend and we were blocked from leaving by the police who were standing between us and the locked gates & the Geordies started singing it in their faces. It was very confrontational & uncomfortable.Harry Roberts is our friend
He kills coppers
Some of the chants are pretty grim. Its off how this sort of behaviour became 'normal'
Special mention for a song aimed at one of our own players -who returned from a long injury and then went straight back into the starting XI without any rumour of return. David Bell (?2012) got lobbed straight back in and on hearing the team news - the SBA responded with 'David Bell - We thought you were dead'
For me - I still think think that's funny one - but I'm not sure that Bell agreed
TSx
Agree with that total disgraceNot a chant but the kilbane incident was shameful
Funniest thing I remember not a chant but on fantasy football.... there was a picture of Beardsleys bollocks and bits hanging out of his shorts and Skinner said ohh look Peter Beardsleys on Dowies shoulder.. I fuckin howled at thatWasn't there one about Peter Beardsley not being particularly handsome?
You have evidence? You should perhaps share it.In terms of with City, the sex offender song is not only ridiculously offensive, it is absolutely shite. Anyone joining in needs to give their head a wobble. As someone else touched on, when it was sung at Ronaldo, it was pretty funny and true. Singing it at random good opposition players is pathetic.
The bloke admitted that the woman said no to him and asked him to stop several times.You have evidence? You should perhaps share it.
I also don't understand how it's shite when City fans sing it, but funny when it was at Ronaldo.
Fwiw I've heard it three times by City fans and with different feelings invoked in me.
The first was at JCH and I laughed along (as did he tbh), then at Bristol City to the ref which was uncalled for and way ott (despite him being dreadful) and then again on Saturday to Mitrovic, which I couldn't really understand as it made no sense.

It was away at Crewe about 10 years ago if I recall correctly. I remember being slumped in my seat in dismay at yet another shite performance when he (Kilbane) came over to us and was very angrily remonstrating towards a specific part of the stand.What was actually said? Always found the whole story bizarre given that Kilbane felt he had to apologise without referencing what was supposedly said (which would surely exonerate him completely), and his child’s health condition was hardly common knowledge.
As ever, put enough beer down the neck of morons and they become an utter embarrassment to all others who know what NOT to say.It was away at Crewe about 10 years ago if I recall correctly.

I honestly don't know what was said but he clearly picked it up.
