I've, personally, never like the 'tits, fanny and...whoever' song-simply because I've never been into tits and fanny!

But seriously, just because it's 'laddish'; 'just having a laugh at the game'; and so on, doesn't make it the right thing to sing. But you cannot just tell people to stop singing it...without an alternative really. And that's where subtle changes like 'bear baiting' or 'pie & mash'come in...
Though how long before the animal rights or vegetarian brigade get on your case is another story...
On the subject of the 'tits and fanny' version...without a doubt this WILL be heard of again, especially as our crowds, hopefully, continue to grow. People won't realise that it shouldn't be sung, and it's an old, catchy, traditional football song. It's down to us all to repeat it if & when it's aired with the 'bear baiting' line, to 'educate' others, for lack of a better word.
That is true, proper Old Skool song that I'd forgoteen about. But the 'tits & fanny' one was still sung...
Some people did it at the palace game, a quick glare and a round of bear bating, a strong mention and disapproval of the size of his badge (wearing a palace polo, although seen at dulwich home games a few times)and beard growing capabilities soon sorted them out, everyone laughed and got back to bating bears...
myself as a man i feel im completely the right person to have an opinion on this (sarcasm) if your talking about a place being great due to body parts that women have and therefore objectifying women then it is pretty sexist imo (not sarcasm) As i said im in the best place to discuss this as a man obvs (another bit of sarcasm)
in this case yes it does
its not just about the attitudes of who's singing them its about how the song has an affect on the people around you. whether that be offending people or perpetuating sexist attitudes.
I dont want to get into a debate on this whole issue but when you look at the death toll on either side wanting it to stop is not bad a thing and expressing that view from the side of the oppressed (in any conflict or situation) is not a bad thing, and if that does offend someone they have to check themselves as they should just want it to stop too.
you can be supportive of people who being oppressed no matter what religion or race they are.... thats a pretty simple concept... although a lot of people for some reason find it hard to grasp...
im sure there are other forums for this.
