I'm not a fan of the bad language fullstop

...but am no saint and I understand it is going to happen. I sit with my kids in the Aviva corner and mostly that part of the ground is fine. Words do drift over as chants from the other side of the ground and little Jester will see me snigger from time to time and will ask what was said, and I paraphrase 'They don't agree with the ref', or 'They are laughing at Ipswich again'.

What I don't agree with is when casuals who would clearly rather be in another part of the ground but haven't been able to get a ticket elsewhere come f'ing and blinding into the Aviva. Generally, they get warned a couple of times by nearby parents and most shut up but sometimes it escalates and that is disappointing.

I also don't agree with targeted aggression. General frustration or exasperation, fine, but targeted spiteful comments I have no time for. If that bloke was happy to say whatever he said to Sterling face to face outside the ground in front of a copper with no qualms, I'd be amazed.
