All of a sudden it was apologies and a bit of ****ting themselves which was funny tbh.

It’s a group mentality thing half of them are parents and should know better.
Beer and pack mentality kick in unfortunately.
Great post, gets to the heart of it.

The mob mentality of footy fans is disturbing at times, and it's easy to see some quite deeply held and worrying behaviour at times. I agree with Kerr - I was at the Peterborough game and was shocked by the behaviour towards the female walking across the pitch in front of us.

It's a good question IBS asks and some good responses, as well as the usual repeated claptrap from the usual bods who just want to repeat their views in every thread available to them. I suppose a difference between 'Town full of pakis' and 'town full of *****s' is that the 'town full of pakis' is derogatory towards a group of people just on the basis of their race, nothing else. Whereas the 'peados' song is directed towards the abhorrent behaviour of some in that town and generalising it towards the rest of us. Still makes me feel sick that people can sing either, and can behave as they do towards that Peterborough woman. AS Pocket says, get them on their own and they will probably distance themselves from the songs, but history shows us that odd and horrible things happen when groups of people unite behind deep rooted prejudicial viewpoints.
