Wrexham player banned from wearing ‘F*** the Tories’ football boots
https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-b2209965.html
What happened to peaceful protest and free speech?
It literally says F*** The Tories.
It could mean Free the Tories.
Wrexham are free to distance themselves from whatever political message they want.Originally Posted by NYCBlue
Are they? Even if so, just because they can, doesn't mean they should.
Yes?
For starters Wrexham is a tory constituency, I'm not surprised they don't want to alienate their fanbase
? We supported the City with Brexiteer Warnock in charge but turned when he shafted us. Nothing to do with his political stance, he stood and then fell by his affect on our club not his right wing views, as abhorrent as they were. The ‘F*ck The Tories’ chant is being heard at games, do you reckon Tory leaning fans will stop attending if their team are winning?
a Tory constituency?
it's been Tory for a total of 3 years in its entire history, and labour have won there at every election between 1935 and 2019, it'll almost certainly return to Labour at the next election as well
Alienate the fan base.😂😂😂
Fcck the Tories
Don’t worry, the Tories have already done that.
It's a labour seat that went tory , marginally , in 2019
Put your boots on !
Remember when Robbie Fowler got into trouble for wearing a t shirt supporting striking Liverpool dockers? The football authorities have always clamped down on any sort of political statements in games by players and, even if Wrexham were okay about it, the League or FA wouldn’t be.
Keep politics out of football
That’s the end of football messageboards
1 down at home,Mullen needs to get his shooting boots on.
Clearly inappropriate and sectarianism and bigotry like that isn't welcome - will just alienate a lot of the fanbase. Some on here won't care, because it's not them being insulted.
There was a small gaggle of Wales fans singing this when I was in Brussels for the Wales game. Centred around a couple of older guys in 'Yes Cymru' T Shirts who seemed to view it all as a recruitment opportunity more than anything.
Reminded me of the kind of people, pissed up older guys who should know better and a load of impressionable youths singing things like 'I'd rather wear a turban than a rose' a few years back.
Should be stamped out, we don't need it.
People suffering because of the government’s ineptitude and you say they can’t vent their feelings. Comparing it to racist, what I believe was rugby, chanting is so low and completely out of order. Government’s in the free world are insulted and, sometimes, complimented, and long may it continue as long as there isn’t violence, which is predominantly an extreme right wing thing. Give your head a wobble, stamped out? Get over yourself man.
It's only different for you because it's the people you hate having hatred sung at them by a small number of bigots.
You couldn't care less about any division or hurt or ill feeling caused as long as your tribe get to express hatred.
Just leave your bigotry out of football. There are plenty of communities who have reasons to dislike numerous political parties. Perhaps you should look a bit more closely at Wales? Bringing onto the terraces is not remotely positive.
People like you want division not unity. Leave it out. You and Sludge are exactly the kind of people who would be drunkenly singing about catholics and protestants at Celtic and Rangers games..you just don't see it and think it's all okay and a laugh.
You are comparing anti tory feeling in Wales.....and Scotland......to racist chanting ?
Get the feck out of here
Absolutely I am. They are both divisive, c**ty things to do. Songs sung by bigots.
You may not care less if you alienate people who spread division. Others do.
I've become increasingly uncomfortable in recent years with some of the stuff I hear at Wales games tbh.
We don't need people using football as a recruitment process for their political beliefs and I did see more evidence of that in Brussels tbh.
I thought he'd just bought a pair of rejects from Fernando Torres with some of the stitching messed up
Im pretty sure when I was very young our fans sung one Arthur Scargill at the police during the mid 80s or is my mind playing tricks.
Anyway lets sign Paul Mullin.
You are a fecking clown then
A group of fans from a place that has suffered at the hands of the Tories are the equivalent of racist or religious goons ?
For feck sake get out of here , your fawning support of the conservatives is making me sick
It could only be you who would turn a comedy thread into support of your fellow tories
You poor little thing
Anyone with any view different to yours makes you feel sick. Which is all the more reason why things like this shouldn't be tolerated.
And most things that impact upon the lives of people in Wrexham have not been Tory run since 1997, which is another thing I hate about all this - it's just a total distraction.
FFS Sludge, quit being so divisive all the time. Clearly it's not good. Just like a load of Linfield players having '**** Sinn Fein' on their boots is totally unhelpful.
