if we are really lucky, the stewards might spot Craig Gardner and Seb Larsson using such language.
I don't see how. Assuming they were both playing, we'd be down to 9 men if they were ejected. How would that help?

Depends on the context I reckon. If we want to attract more kids to the match, etc then I do not think it is acceptable to be shouting regular obscenities in ear shot of kids, etc. Depending on how the language is used it can be a criminal offence and, if nothing else, it's a poor use of English to express oneself.
The majority of people swear at some point but the manner and frequency in which it's done I think is the issue. Different words offend different people and we should be respectful of that.

Indeed. Swearing out loud always amuses me, unless you're right at the front the players aren't going to hear you.Depends on the context I reckon.

I've moved from my seat to the family area as I now take my 6 year old along with the 9 year old who has sat with me in the North upper and NE corner for 4 seasons.
I moved there not because I mind a bit of swearing but I do object to letting my kids hear endless streams of foul mouthed vitriol, as any father should. Anywhere else in the ground is fair game in my book - it's an adult environment and if you object move to an area where it isn't allowed as I have.
However the bloke in the row in front of my 6 year old (and sitting next to a 3 year old lad) began swearing at the top of his voice on sunday, screaming "FUCK OFF" over and over again. I didn't report him to a steward this time I simply spoke calmly to him and pointed out he had a 3 year old and 6 year child next to him and was in the family area. Fair play to him, despite being well oiled he apologised and stopped. Didn't return for the 2nd half though as he found a spare seat in the South stand. However reasonable it turned out this time I won't tolerate him continuing to behave in this way and will keep pointing out the wrongs of his behaviour, if it continues much more I will report him. There are stickers on every seat asking people to not swear and there are probably another 45k seats he could choose. This would allow everyone to be happy.
I have to say to those saying swearing is acceptable at the football, I sympathise and to a large point accept it is part and parcel of the passion shown at the match, however there are small areas of the ground where those wishing not to hear have moved to, respect this as much as I am respecting your right to swear in other places.
Just been reading some of the comments![]()
In my opinion, that is an example of it being unacceptable. Swearing and shouting is always going to happen but even with a skinful and with passions running high there is no need for anybody to carry on like this.[DOUBLEPOST=1380815889][/DOUBLEPOST]However the bloke in the row in front of my 6 year old (and sitting next to a 3 year old lad) began swearing at the top of his voice on sunday, screaming "FUCK OFF" over and over again.

Not when they are very young they won't. And (hopefully) they'll get told at school that it is not correct way to speak.They'll hear worse at school![]()
Was the lad completely innocent?
he reacted to provocation from the club's stewards.
Fair play. Self-policing is the way it should be.[DOUBLEPOST=1380815642][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'm not sure what the issue is then. Telling anybody where to go like that is never going to result in a particularly favourable response!I think people are reading this wrong. The club arent spotting people in the stands shouting "fuck off" or singing songs with swear words. It seems a lad has had a bit of a confrontation with a steward, has told the steward to fuck off during said confrontation and has then been ejected for it.
