To be fair, I think your heart's in the right place, but there's no time limit on incidents that are brought into football rivalries. Leeds fans still claim they're Champions of Europe because they were cheated out of it, Forest fans still hate Newcastle because some arseholes invaded the pitch back in the 70s... the majority of kids chanting Scabs have no idea what it's about and even if you explained it they wouldn't *get it*.

A lot of fans enjoy an undercurrent of dislike, makes nothing games (like Sunderland v Burnley, or Newcastle at Nottingham) have meaning beyond 3pts.

Yeah and none of the above are healthy and distracts from what is essentially just a game of football.

Fair points but football clubs represent a community.

It certainly does but equally surely it's unfair for a football club or fans of a football club come to that to be tainted with something that has absouletly nothing to do with them!

Yes that is again a fair point. I expect that safc is perceived as a left wing working class club by most football fans yet the fan base includes our very own London metrosexual clique and millionaires living on the Whitburn-seaburn-roker riviera.

Thats how society works isn't it?
Stereotypes, good or bad they are here to stay.
Cheeky cockneys, thieving scousers, drunk glaswegians,Hardworking makems and Notts Scabs.
 
That bitch never forgave King Arthur for the way

Heath capitulated

Why she went to war on the unions
Spot on Hank.

Try having three kids to feed and being on strike. No handouts in them days, the whole thing was a farce created by Scargil. However it's in the past now and part of history, best forgotten about. Calling people a scab is like calling all Germans Nazis.

Mate. It was a tragedy created by Thatcher. It isn't best forgotten about either. If you don't learn your history you're condemned to relive it...

Stereotypes are here to stay mate,but that does not mean you should not challenge them when they are incorrect are in this case based of a very flimsy link some 30 years ago.
Not flimsy, the scabs changed the course of history again, just a Spencer had done in the 20's.
The Government were at the point of losing the battle and the two idiots in charge of union took the bait and sealed the fate of hundreds of communities across the industrial north and Wales, including their own!
We are still paying the price for Thatcher's scorched earth policy.
Lynk and Greatrex betrayed their own members, Lynk later got an OBE and Greatrex got 4 years for stealing their money.
Scabs.

Don't think you getting my point mate,don't disagree with any of your above points, once again the flimsy bit is linking to the football club or just people from Nottingham and calling people scabs where possibly 80% of the people getting called have fuck all to do with it.


It's really simple mate,understand your anger agree with your anger,just direct it at the right people,surely you can see that?

Amazes me how Scargill escapes criticism for leading lambs to the slaughter.
I think it's been mentioned a few times in thread he played a high risk strategy using low risk personal circumstances. He had everything to gain n pretty much nothing to lose. Where as his pawns as u say were lambs to the slaughter and they had to take the hits and hope for the best. He was still making a living out of the pits long after the majority had closed.

It's clearly in their DNA.
Why wait for their next opportunity to stab their fellow workers in the back?
Call a spade a spade, Scabs.
