Personally, I think you’re the one with issues.

if you feel like you can have your say and call out the abuser, good for you, but someone else can equally have his opinion ( and voice it ) and ask what are you doing, no need for this etc etc , yet the guy decided to shut him down and tell him he wasnt interested in discussing it ( the other guys opinion ) :shrug:, then the threat of being hit, this happens in the real world, its not twitter where you can shut someone down without a care in the world
Threatening to chin someone isn't having an opinion.

You consider demanding (under threat of violence) silence from someone who objects to homophobia as valid as calling out homophobia?
Not for me.

Re: Cadiff city fan threatened with assault after challenging homophobic abuse
So it seems like some folks on here think it’s okay to let knuckle draggers carry on as they always have.
It’s not even anything to do with football.

not really what happened though or what I said

the guy had a opinion that " he should just leave it at that " maybe he could see things were going escalate with the abuser and Cennydd
Cennydd might have used a slightly different way to shut the guy down ( not the abuser, the guy sat on his row ) I told him that " I wasn’t interested in discussing it with him " , it does come across as a little confrontational (which I guess Cennydd adrenaline was pumping after his calling out of the abuser )

no I dont, and I never said I did
I was pointing out, it was great to call out the abuser, but when someone has a opinion that it maybe time to leave it, to be shut down like he was maybe not the right way to go about it

So threatening to hit someone is just having a different opinion?
Having a go at someone who's bravely called out homophobic abuse is clearly acceptable to you. Would you apply the same rule towards racist abuse? Sexist language? Or are just gay people fair game in your world?
Very concerning that a so-called moderator on here can hold such antiquated views.

It wasn't what you started out with that is the problem. It is what you finished with. Just read back your own words - not good.

Funny that you left off your final paragraph which contains your view that threatening to hit the guy is just having a different opinion.
You also attach blame to Cennydd as you feel he was confrontational to the second guy by merely stating that he had no desire to discuss the matter with him. The fact that he was then threatened with violence suggests Cennydds approach was correct i.e. back away.

"I don't want to discuss it with you" is confrontational? Behave Matt, stop excusing shit behaviour.

Re: Cadiff city fan threatened with assault after challenging homophobic abuse
Homosexuality has been around for thousands of years...longer than CCFC. It's sad that we still have this as a thing !!
The Greeks invented it...(just kidding..just having a dig)

Re: Cadiff city fan threatened with assault after challenging homophobic abuse
Maybe the point matt is making 🤔....is that in his opinion its all very well getting involved in these things but some people are just meatheads are you are just a step away from violence ?
I think a lot of people want to challenge idiots like this but fear getting into serious confrontation
I have confronted racists but luckily they have either backed down , others have backed me up or the stewards have got involved
It's not always plain sailing though

Ineffect the other person supported the abuser. So I think he had every right to tell him he didn’t want to discuss it with him. It’s simply unacceptable.

Agree with this. It’s a brave person to confront the meat head. People have died for similar things
