    Not clear on the video, are they saying it's OK for thousands to do swimming motions after Sala, but not for two people to make what may possibly be interpreted as horse motions?

    Surely both are wrong?
    It's aeroplane gestures that opposition fans make about Sala. The swimming one is about a fight between fans years ago.
    But yes, mocking anyone who's died is sick.

    WTF are you on about NCB? The swimming action has got **** all to do with Sala. Have you been living under a rock for 35 years?

    And for once I agree with Sludge, mocking the death of Terry Coles or Emiliano Sala, or any tragedy for that matter is absolutely f-ing pathetic. I actually think the mocking of Terry Coles is worse because any one of us who travelled the country as football supporters in the 80s/90s when hooligansim was rife and we had police on horseback charging around could have been caught in a situation like that.

    I understand, but at least one post on social media the week before said get your snorkels out for Sala sick I know, that's relating to swimming, so what's the difference both are wrong surely?

    Swimming could apply to both, do the police just ignore that fact?

    Don't get me wrong both acts are terrible if related to Sala and Coles and should be dealt with seriously.

    The 'swim away' has nothing to do with Sala and to suggest so is utterly stupid.

    However for a crowdbase to glorify chasing a couple of kids into the sea is pretty poor too.

    They shouldn't do it then, and how do we know what they are relating it to, as it could have duel meaning it shouldn't be allowed?

    Anyway as I said it's up to the Police to decide whats offensive, but they should consider all aspects as both could be very offensive depending on how they are interpreted.

    Get over yourself ffs. The swim away, whilst cringey, is never going to be deemed as a tragedy chant. Where do you draw the line, start arresting people for the touched by your fathers at 10 years old chant? Thats offensive to victims of child sex attacks.

    I think we can pretty much all aghree the horse / Coles and aeroplane / Sala actions and chants have no place in the game but youre really clutching at straws wanting people arrested for the swim away.

    I don’t get how the players and board of those down west get away with the swim away thing. It’s an incident that has been linked to football hooliganism. Each to their own I suppose.

    Maybe they were referring to a fight at the horse races in Cheltenham a few years ago?

    oh do f-uck off

    Cardiff fans having been singing trampled by horse to the tune of H-A-P-P-Y and doing the horse actions / noises for years and years before the fight in Newbury. They even put a messaage about Terry Coles on the big screen in the Millenium Stadium when Swansea beat Barnsley. Thats a different level of sick.

    But you know that youre just being obstinate.

    It’s not just the fans tbh. Their players regularly engage in it too.

    Mocking a death is different though,

    It wasn’t a ‘fight’…it was a gross act of cowardice, that nobody has ever admitted too, and only witnessed by one old man walking his dog that night.

    I saw it. I was on the beach. A group of 60+ jacks chased a group of stragglers into the sea. A mate of mine was one of them. No one was swimming.
