Why are you so against it?
Genuine question when I look it up it says the word mostly used by Jewish people in self depreciating humour. Is this not the equivalent of say a club with some Irish owners/fans and their fans calling themselves paddy army or the like?

Feel free to sing it I'm not stopping anyone, I'd hate to see our club dragged down because of idiots like Baddiel and The Society of Black Lawyers putting pressure on the club,
But I'll see you in jail

I wouldn't do that, I know how important the Y word is to the club and the fans, it would be like telling Newcastle fans to stop singing "Toon Army" it rips the soul out the club
But there's been warning's, statements, now the police have said that they will speak to those signing it and informing them of the word before any arrests are made.
What happens if someone is arrested for singing it Sunday? then a situation goes from mild to totally out of control? it's all over the papers, fans then start to put pressure on thier own, more arrests, because our fans are stubborn.
I don't want to see this affect our excellent season so far, no indication it will affect the players, but the fact remains, it's been a warning by the police!
I really hope our fans see sense!
Don't you agree Hengs? if one of our own fans get's arrested this weekend the situation just gets 100x's worse?
Thudd
Personally I think it's a fuss about nothing as it's only a hate word if used in a offensive way!!
But yes if the police pursue this it's not going to look good by any parties
That's not the point, and it's way past opinions now the police are threatening arrests
Just hope noone get's arrested this weekend, this only creates tension and hatred towards the police and stewards
the worlds gone fackin nuts fight the power thudd you fackin batty
The usual bollox.
Basically if you sing such songs on sunday, more so if due to whatever antics of the support of the TWO clubs with a proudly nasty element occur, you face a CCTV/plod lottery.
You won't be collared in your hundreds, but one or two of you will be unlucky.
It's moved beyond the whole "should it be sung, shouldn't it be sung"
Now the police are taking action, can't believe it's come to this
"Now the police are taking action, can't believe it's come to this "
Can't you ?? Naive youngster s to you from an elder.
What if you're actually Jewish? Or from a Jewish family?
"What if you're actually Jewish? Or from a Jewish family?"
Superb !!!
Those of the faith that like to sing and are there on sunday should sing it loud. Any that get arrested are instant cause celebres.

This
Will fans need to actually provide evidence that they're Jewish? fack me we will go back to wearing Jewish star's during games
I'm not attacking anyone who wants to sing the song or chant the word, far from it, I find the whole situation farcial, I have my opinions and I won't preach on anyone, just annoyed it;s gone this far! and fans will become more stubborn than ever
Now you get it, THudd.
Doovde has basically stated the ammo the supporters need if Plod carries out its threats.
I've realised that fans won't stop singing, that;'s the truth, but it's become beyond a joke, I'm not Jewish so I won't use it, but If I was and had no problem with the word then the police can't stop me singing it, they wouldn't stop black singers/rappers from saying the N word?
The world has gone too PC! but this is the reality now, and something needs to happen, and IMO it will be an arrest Sunday

Imagine the uproar if they arrest someone who's Jewish?
Last thing I want to see Sunday is this taking over what hopefully will be a great performance and win by our team

Well most of my family is actually Jewish
Majority are Chelsea fans, though
