Ban them for a season and make them do x amount of hours at a suicide prevention team.

Well, it’s not Carlisle’s fault, but it is strange the sort of things people do. It really does bring out the worst in some people.Carlisle has apologised and are looking to find out who the fans are.

With them using terms like “go hang yourself” that probably isn’t a great idea, ban them for life and make them famous.

What do they learn from just being banned though?

No one is saying it is Carlisle's fault, but I am sure they don't want fans like this following them.

All clubs have fans like this.
I’m talking about the individuals who say this sort of stuff, to people they don’t even know. The club they support is irrelevant really.

They know they aren’t welcome and if possible I’d bring any criminal charges available.

It doesn't have to be football, it can be life in general. We've seen idiots on this board coming out with rubbish towards each other without knowing the other posters circumstances.

F@king hell.
Imagine what goalkeepers and opposing players would have posted if social media had been available in the 70s and 80s after playing in front of the Holgate.
I'm not sure about this. I think he might be being a little bit over sensitive, if I am honest. Not a popular view, I understand.

I agree, but I’d say I see/hear this sort of nonsense in football related settings more than any other.

It should have been called out then too.
Telling somebody to kill themselves over a game is pathetic.

Well yeah, imagine. It was an awful way to behave back then as well.

I’m just saying that football seems to bring out the bad in some folk. If I was coming out with this sort of thing at matches I think I’d be having a long hard word with myself about whether I should be attending such events.
I’m not really crying out for punishment as such, hopefully these folk have a conscience, even if only in retrospect.

Dikcheads are dikcheads.. I doubt very much they will be thinking about anything.
Shouting something cruel out at an opposition player isn’t something new.
If Connor Ripley’s side had won.. I doubt anything would have been said.
Obviously throwing the two up at the opposition fans and laughing in their faces.. but he couldn’t do that.. so now it’s the worst thing ever.

Football is a ballet, a pantomime
It’s a game of chess and a riot
Ability, graft and luck
It’s an ever changing tragic comedy, half magnum opus, half honkey tonk piano being thrown down a flight of stairs.
It is a game that is played to an audience
that participates
from the rousing chorus, the orchestral, tribal chants, the ritual of drink and smoke and swearing, gambling and violence.
He’s behind you, oh no it isn’t.. it’s Punch and Judy.. fcuk off, get fukced, bastrads, chunts, cheating fcking chunts, vvankers, vvanker.. YOU’RE NOT SINGING ANY MORE
SHYTHOLE, BSTARDS, GET BATTERED.. EVERYWHERE THEY GO.

Just because it happened in the 70s and 80s doesn't mean it's acceptable to happen today, or even back then. It wasn't prevented as much because if you did bring it up you're a grass, or you're a wuss, or you're a girl. The same mentality can be said for being a racist back then, and the argument the racists would have is they're only words, and that people should "man up". **** that mentality, **** the patriarchy, **** the toxic masculinity.
