Has anyone been watching Football's Darkest Secret on the BBC? Part 2 on tonight I believe. Heartbreaking stuff, but does confirm my feelings that we should stop singing our version of Hymns and Arias.

Being pre-premier league most of the names aren't as big as they might have been but I suppose that both isn't (it doesn't matter how big a name) and is (lack of scrutiny) the point.
Obviously a serious subject. It's good that there is support out there for people including: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/what-is-chi...-recent-abuse/
I object to it being called ‘our’, it’s nothing to do with me. There should be mass booing whenever any idiot starts singing it.
it’s cringeworthy
That song makes me sick to be honest. Not witty, funny or anything but vile.
The Harold Shipman song was vile as was the song about the suicide of Alan Davies
And the Swansea idiots who made up the sick fake flight tickets for sala were sick as well
Some people are just pond life

Wasn't a former cardiff city chaplain sentenced for sex offences ?
Anyone who has ever sung it deserves an immediate life time ban. End of
Yes. Church football team. Surname was Jordan. Not sure of first name now

They must have tried to get him away, as I can remember something about him getting away with it.
David White and Paul Stewart looked haunted and old beyond their years
Poor bastards
Both look like they big boozers. Stewart in particular.
Crewe’s Chairman has resigned this morning - terrible for the young lads involved, but, on a personal level, it’s sad that a club, and manager, I admired so much around twenty years ago have been so tarnished by this.
Probably only way of coping with it all , what a nightmare
I always liked Paul as a player, he was outstanding for Spurs during the early 90's, always looked a class player, also a great story about players getting pigeon-holed into a position and it not being right for them and then excelling somewhere else on the pitch
