I never sang it and I'm disgusted and offended that you did.

Not having that mate. You clearly said "we don't sing it any more". That implies you used to. Along with others. Was it some kind of homophobic choir?

Goodness I hope not. Where did you learn those words by the way? Seems weird of you to post them unprompted in a Brighton thread.

There's a lot of truth in that. Sir Alex Ferguson definitely tried to influence referees by his actions; such was his prestige in football that he was able to get away with things most managers wouldn't. One referee - it may have been David Ellary, but I'm not 100% sure - said in his book that there was tremendous pressure on refs from certain clubs, with fans in some cases finding out referees' home addresses and sending them hate mail. It's clear that Liverpool are similarly "favoured", partly because there are so many former Liverpool players in the media.

Look at last season - we got a clear penalty at Anfield in the league (Our first since Tommy Lawton's days); thanks to Klopp's antics and the ex RS media mafia, that was deemed "controversial", and we all knew that the RS would get a soft pen against us in the cup match, which duly happened.

Referees don't knowingly go out to favour certain clubs, but the unconscious bias is clearly there.

Ex ref peter Walton comes on live tv and says Salah dives but he would have given it if it was at Anfield . Hmm

Wish it was 3pm now. Looking forward to this win would be just the tonic to get thru another cold dark day!

Can't remember mate. Just found it quite amusing and not high up on the offensive scale coz I don't think it's hate driven. Other favourites include the Carlos tevez song and the park ji sung one, both controversial in their own ways.

I think it is good that society (the 'we') as a whole has moved on from this sort of repugnant singing, and I am glad you agree too.

Think people are underestimating Brighton. I know we just smashed Burnley but they are like seriously bad.
