Language ban!

[Saint MacDara]

It's ironic that we're berating clubs for banning foul language when we're censored on this forum from swearing properly and have to resort to "fcuk" - "b*******".

Maybe we should make an example here and allow the language since i doubt families gather around the computer to read this site.

Looks as though the club would like to turn the stadium into a creche,we cant expect to get into the premier league with 300 children and parents at a mtch!

They'd be better off removing the w@nkers(themselves) from the ground.

Certain chants are part and parcel of football, LOI clubs would be better served by trying to attract new supporters not alienating the small numbers already coming through the turnstiles.
Sorry to hear about the Athlone "Cootes" supporters club giving up. From what I could see last season at Dubarry Park the Cootes lads were the only proper football people there. The stewards, cops, and schoolies had no business at a football game.


You never know something bigger and brighter might come out of this given time but for now I just want to relax and continue supporting the club I love with a passion

I will be a Coote till I die

Lads, I was up in athlone about a month ago for the Athlone v Limerick37 match and I thought the set-up there is top-class!! It was probably the friendliest and safest stadium I have been in!! As Battery Rover said something good might come out of this if it attracts more fans and im sure the real fans could be given thier own section where they can say what they want!! Maybe the only problem was the abuisive behaviour towards your own players and refrees!! :ball:

problem with that is it will last a week or two and then people forget about it.

i think the loud swearing protest would be far more effective. let them throw out all of their regular supporters and see just how many of these family types they are protecting from these obsenities.... answer: fcuk all!

we have to lose this PC bullsh1t from our game. stand up and curse & spit & shout to your hearts content. we are not the premiersh1t we are the EL, home to real football culture - not sanitised merchandising fancy dans!

here's a song i made up to get you going:
fcuk, sh1t, b@stard,
w@nk, w@nk
fcuk, sh1t, b@stard
w@nk, w@nk

imagine the stewards trying to throw out a couple hundred fans for singing that

You should release that as a single... title '' Parental Advisory.... '':D
In this era of gangster rap it will be Number 1 :D

Here here, very well put

I dont know who ATFC are trying to attract by banning ''language'', but it sure isnt real supporters:mad:

[FarmHoop]

Its all ******s;)

[BohsPartisan]

Good recital of The Man don't give a FnCK by SFA or Kyles Ma is a Big Fat B1TCH from southpark would go down well.

[Lim till i die]

When did they start with this nonsense??

Are you sure it's not a load of old bluster.

I swore like a platoon the last time I was up there and no one said a word :confused:

considering that the eL doesn't 'enjoy' the same amount of family/daytripper/tourist supporters as clubs in england the hard-core supporter should be free to roam the paddock instead of being confined to a stand/section. it's is the familys/those who couldn't let their fine young child hear obsenities that need to be put in their own ultra sanitised section.

not critising you here but you know what i mean.

[bellavistaman]

All Athlone Town flags were hung upside down and the silent protest went ahead with the Cootes going sshhhhh everytime someone in the ground made a noise

:D very nice. When Rams played Bohs in league cup last year their fans were doing the same with the flags.

Ya fair enough ur point is a bit better but u no what i mean!! the real fans should be allowed to say whatever they want!! And trust me if Jackman Park is anything to go by, its the kids that do most of the cursing and no one cares 2 be honest!! I cant really imagine some family complaing about bad lanague at a match!! Its what makes the game in Ireland so great!! we are (were in Athlone's case) treated like real fans and not customers!! Its looks like Athlone do not care who comes through the gate as long as they make money!! I can maybe understand that u could get in trouble for constenly abusing your own player but theres nothing wrong with letting out a passionate ****-sake now and again!! Anyways I just hope it all works out for Athlone, I truely enjoyed myself up there at the Limerick match and its sad to see it come to this!! :confused::confused:

[Martinho II]

from knowing one of the mad as cootes from going to college with him( ala ash!) im sorry to hear that they have disbanded and it is a very extreme severe form of censorship by the committee. i really hope things work out for ye guys. i know personally how much hard work it takes to get a atmosphere goin. We at section o have had problems galore in the past from certain committee members its just not on!
