| [iI still cant make my mind up if all Wigan Warriors fans were glad to see the back of 'Fecka' if the truth is known?
Plus by keep chanting his name are they really taking the p@ss out of the big fella? WHO KNOWS.
I'm hoping this big powerful prop does come good for the Salford City Reds, in my eyes he is a luxury we can't afford at this time but in saying that I really hope he proves me wrong.

| Quote the hedonic calculator="the hedonic calculator"What is the "pc brigade"?
Is it a rugby league phenomenom or some sort of Salford thing?
As for swearing being a "non-issue" - if it offends someone then it autmatically becomes an issue for them. There is no way around this and the best course of action is to avoid such language if there is the possibility that it may cause offence.
There are several words that are only words, as you put it. For instance, if I was to say to you "get a grip, you stupid c*nt" then you may not be at all upset by this statement of the obvious. However, if I was to say it to my aunt (not that I would, on the grounds that she shows far more intelligence, despite suffering from alzheimers) then she would take great offence and cut me off in her will. And that is without going down the inherently dangerous path of racist or homophobic words that are, inevitably, just words. I suggest you have another little think about it.'"
The PC brigade are the political correctness idiots who run around trying to stamp out anything that may be deemed as offensive.. They guys who are ‘outraged’ at what Andy Gray said. It’s the kind of muppets who want black boards in school to be called chalk boards, the kind of people who do stuff like this;

Whilst I agree there should be a cut off point the women at the match who was ‘outraged’ by the word hole in chant at a rugby game really needs to stop being so sensitive.
ATEOTD people like the lady mentioned in this thread will find offence in anything and I can’t see why that should stop the rest for having some light hearted banter now and again.

I'm far from being a member of the PC Brigade. I dislike the 'Salford's a....' chant because it's pathetic. It adds nothing to the atmosphere at all.

| In all fairness. The Salford chant was nothing compared to ones sung at wire/saints/leeds matches. If you don't want to be near "abusive" people stand at the side of the stand or sit at the top.
IMO rugby chants are nothing like any other sports. In football, teams chant about Munich and hillsborough. That's the offensive ones.

I think you are missing my point.
Some people might not like the chant, others might have liked it the first time and then got easily bored with it & others might want to sing it all night but to be disgusted/outraged by a petty chant like that is laughable. I simply can’t see why some people are that easily offended.
I took the chant as a light hearted set of banter between the fans and whilst we didn’t need to keep singing it all night the original chant was quite funny imo.

Well Salford is a City so the house prices will automatically be higher than in a town no matter how much of a poophole it is. Look at the house prices in Birmingham for example

Generally I find the amount of people who go on about the 'PC brigade' far outweigh the amount of people making daft decisions like this. Its worth pointing out that these are very isolated instances and nothing to do with any law. It worries me that some people are so ignorant about the real issues surrounding race that they think this is how to counteract them though
