Getting behind the team
Urging the players on
Bit of banter, aye
Passion…

When is chanting about a vile paedophile
Acceptable banter?

We do not make jokes about the flowers of Munich
And those who do are quite rightly called out

The love that dare not speak its name
Not in this game,
Fat Chance.
