    Stamp out foul language in football?

    "We do have the regulations within the game in order to stamp out any kind of foul and abusive language but they are just not enforced to the nth degree."
    And n = 0

    BBC Sport - Bad language in football: Clarke Carlisle wants clampdown
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

    Sounds like a good idea - also deal with cheats, ie divers, faking injury etc.

        Swearing happens in all sports, by all races and both sexes. Often by people who rarely swear in other circumstances. Sport is a passionate thing. This would be difficult.

          Fellini - "I say John, vous just kicked one, and nearly broke ones flipping shin"
          Terry - "Sorry old bean, one was aiming for vous's testicles "
          Fellini - "This is a darned fine game, what ?"

              Football is a game played largely by working class men and watched largely by working class men. They tend to like swearing. It should not be banned. If you are offended by the monkey playing with himself, then go and watch the dolphins.

                Meanwhile, virtually every film and many tv programmes post watershed contain the 'F' word and sometimes, the 'C' word.

                Only last week, a school in England set a questionnaire to 11 year olds about when it was OK to use the 'F,' 'C' and tulip words.

                People need to grasp the concept that 'foul and obscene' language is not in use because of football, they need to look at the wider context.

                As for the link with 'working class man,' (how condescending of someone to say this), perhaps they should listen to some supposed 'posh totty' like Alexi Polizzi and a few others using the 'F' word in her tv programmes?

                  It does grind my gears that:

                  If you swear at a ref in sunday league, its an instant red and a commitee meeting.


                  The rules are supposed to be the from the same book, so given that they are filmed on TV, often before the watershed, why can they get away with it?

                    It needs to become like rugby. Swearing/Questioning ref equals loss of 10 yards.
