dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 No, but no doubt he has received this kind of thing already via social media. Something I wouldn't condone. The two aren't the same. Some people are idiots. This might come as a shock to some, but some Villa fans are idiots too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I didn't say they were the same? I'm just making it abundantly clear that there is no threat in the chant, nor were there any threats last night. Except to Birmingham City fans. Which is again different, apparently. At least, those particular "vile death chants" have not been reported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 "Hi ho, hi ho, it's up the Holte we go Hi ho, hi ho, it's up the Holte we go, If you are a city fan surrender our you'll die, We all follow the Villa" For anyone not aware. Outrageous. So outrageous we've been singing it for 40 years without a single report dismissing us as animals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't there!! It is the Birmingham Mail who are stating that a chant was heard of "let's all have a party when Lerner is dead" or something to that effect. The point I was trying to make and maybe poorly, is that I personally cannot condone death chants/threats (if any?) against an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many other examples, 'let him let, him die' when a player gets injured for example. I really think people are getting their knickers in a twist over this. I actually think hurling abuse at the coaches was more unsavoury such was the aggressive nature of it. We have been let down and run into ground, I don't think a few chants paint us a vicious animals. In fact my only surprise is that it has taken so long.

The point I was trying to make and maybe poorly, is that I personally cannot condone death chants/threats (if any?) against an individual. The conversation was specifically about the chants no? I was making it clear that there were no death threats last night. I thought I had made that clear in my last post? No point arguing about it. It's; "We're all having a party, We're all having a party, We're all having a partyyyyyy, When Randy Lerner dies. When Randy Lerner dies, When Randy Lerner dies...." Etc. To the tune of "now you better believe us, we're gonna win the league" That was it, in a nutshell. No better or worse than hundreds of chants heard up and down the country every single week. Or jokes made by comedians, tongue in cheek comments made around the offices and building sites where most football fans earn the money to go watch their team. Though we appear to have a reputation now, we have become an easy target. I think "**** them" myself, though I appreciate others of a more delicate frame of mind feel differently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats worse continues to make the same mistakes The song wasn't very offensive. It's was just pretty pathetic; as are many other chants (including the surrender or you'll die one). Saying you'll have a party when someone dies because of basically what's written in the quote above is ridiculous. My team of rich football men will have to kick the spherical object around against a bunch of different rich football men next season, so not a lot changes really, but I'm so angry that the owner keeps **** up and has had enough of wasting money that I'll have a party when he dies. People need to get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
