What's the general TWTD consensus on this? Fine in moderation or never acceptable under any circumstances?
Asking because some fans of other clubs seem to think it's fair game. Would never chant myself personally [Post edited 14 Aug 2023 11:12]

Not sure why you'd even need to ask this.
100% unacceptable under any circumstances, as has been confirmed by multiple successful prosecutions in respect of chanting about such subjects as Munich, Hillsborough, Gary Speed, and Justin Edinburgh. [Post edited 14 Aug 2023 11:13]

As a rule in life I would say chanting about dead people isn't very good ?
Even in moderation. |  |

Agreed, it's a shame fans from other clubs don't feel the same way. | | | |

This isn't quite on the level of your "Can a human punch out a Cow?" thread. |  |

Used to be standard football chanting as a wind up 20 years ago, ourselves included. Now it's an outright ban and prosecution, so do so at your own risk. [Post edited 14 Aug 2023 11:48]

I think they know its not right. The issue is that they don't care. | |

I am always of the opinion that, if the chant was about my team how would I feel about that.
Therefore, never acceptable in my book |  | | |

It's not right, and that includes any of our support doing so about Justin Fashanu. |  | | |

I thought that song had been dropped years ago? I doubt many of our younger crowd would even remember Justin Fashanu |  |

The world has changed since then, leave it in the past. I must admit when I first heard it, it got a bit of a "South Park" laugh from the crowd as it was just so outrageous, and nobody seemed to be bothered then, but we have moved on as a society as it doesn't need to be sung again.
I think the Delia ones will get knocked on the head sooner rather than later, obviously those imply we wish death on her, they suggest that she sleeps around and so on. I can't see those carrying on. | | | |

I will reiterate that I am not in any way condoning mocking the dead, quite the opposite, as stated in the original post.
Was rather disgusted at a handful of Sunderland fans chanting about Sir Bobby the other week and have seen other instances since. It's not on at all. | | | |

Do you have examples of prosecution? When some Colchester fans sang about Justin Edinburgh at Orient last season, I thought the conclusion ultimately was that though the behaviour is disgusting it's not actually illegal.
(I realise a Manchester United fan was 'done' for wearing an offensive Hillsborough -related shirt, but I'm talking about chanting.) [Post edited 14 Aug 2023 12:05]

As has been said by others, it's not a question that you even needed to ask - except to satisfy your craving for attention. | |

Clearly unacceptable but is it better or worse than eating a hotdog during a minute's silence?
We have some right weirdo fans. |  |

I will put this one to rest I think.

A minute's silence is not a minute's non munching. | |

I could explain further but I get the feeling you're being deliberately obtuse in order to start an argument.
I'll continue to post what I like, with or without the approval of random strangers on an internet forum. Nothing is stopping you from putting me on the so-called div list if you don't like what I post.
Thanks! [Post edited 14 Aug 2023 12:15]
