I never understood the mid 70s chant at Plough Lane of "Harry Bassett is our friend, he kills coppers" but now I do.

Lol ;-)

OTD - Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield. It was cold and we were in a corner on the main stans side of that decrepit athletics stadium miles from the pitch. It was worse than watching football at Gateshead, which is saying something. It was demolished about 10 years ago.

I can’t tell whether Hash is joking and it’s stressing me out 😁

I don't like the MK is full of shit chant. Every place should be respected. That chant should be banned and singers of it should be banned.

I think anything can be said,without anyone getting offended, although some bad taste chants like the Harry Roberts one I wouldn't use or celebrate after he murdered 3 coppers ,rot in hell more appropriate.

Bad Egg are you from Battersea ?

RIP Buck Rodgers BIDDY!!! BIDDY!!! BIDDY!!!

Also if he was in prison it would be quite hard for him not to be "associating with other notorious criminals".

*The officers were in an unmarked Triumph marked car ...

Nick - it was a playground song back in the 70s in Battersea - I remember going home and asking my grandad who is Harry Roberts? Then years later everyone would be singing it usually at a London derby when the old bill would come out en masse 5 mins from the end. Also I remember seeing a house with “Free Harry Roberts” written across the windows next to Loughborough Junction train station from the train

I’d say mostly for the better. However, I believe that things have gone too far the other way with people quick to report anything as hurty words

If the South Stand were to sing that song during a game. Bad Egg I think the traffic from the West Stand would melt the “report abuse “ text line.

RIP Harry Roberts (He’s our friend) [Link]

The c word hits hard with a Somerset accent.

Padds - I always knew you were one to.keep an eye on. You rebel.

Happy memories of getting Steve Evans so wound up at KM that he was sent to the stands. A bunch of our kids were sitting near us and couldn't believe what the respectable old couple next to them were singing. 😃

Thank you, Mav, although I've no expectation of being allowed to read an unredacted report.

I’ve now got the Steve Evans song in my head…

OI - I fully intend to. I'm one of the few people who knows exactly what happened and is prepared to tell the truth about it.

Welcome back. I hope you will have significant input into the independent election report, if you can face it.

All that stuff around the election got a bit intense. I just needed a bit of headspace, particularly as I've been busy at work.
