We’ll sing what we want
So the society of black lawyers deadline day for the cessation of Spurs fans using the word Yiddo, Yid, Yid army and so on has now past!
As from the 20th of November if Tottenham do not take action against its supporters The SBL will report them to the Metropolitan Police.
So here we are on the even of the first game since that stance was taken by Peter Herbert the spokesman for the SBL, and that game takes place in Rome at the Stadio Olimpico home of Lazio.
Ironically in the reverse of this fixture at White Hart lane the Lazio fans were reported for racist monkey chants and gestures against Tottenham’s black players.
The fine for Lazio by UEFA was 40,000 Euros. So Thursday night will show whether this fine has had any impact on Racism at that club.
As a Twitter addict I see that there are a sizeable amount of Spurs fans heading out to Rome for this game. Away days are very special for any football fan, making as much noise as possible to support your team being the highlight of the trip.
So my expectation is that of “YID ARRRRMMYY” ringing out of the telly box loud and proud.
No doubt a colleague of Peter Herbert will be tuning in so he can prepare a sound bite ready for him for after the game to remind us he is still on our case. Possibly with one eye on the next fixture.
Come Sunday tea time the visitors to white Hart lane are West Ham United one of the originators of the Yid slurs of the 1970’s and 80’s.
Who can forget their proud renditions of Spurs are on their way to “Belsen Hitler’s gonna gas em again? “
The atmosphere will be red hot! Both sets of supporters will be up for it. There is no love lost between the two set of supporters
This is a game of massive importance in terms of bragging rights as well as league standing,
Spurs will not want to notch up a third London derby defeat in a row especially to bitter rivals.
If ever there was going to be a game to give Mr Herbert his opportunity to test his ultimatum with the club this is it.
I have read many articles since the Yid issue was raised and my time line on Twitter has been full of the topic.
Spurs fans from all walks of life from all over the world (and this does include Jewish people) appear to be united in the issue.
We will not be forced to drop our identity because you do not understand our History!
So ……………………………….
“We’ll sing what we want
We’ll sing what we waaaannnnt
We’re the Yid army
We’ll sing what we want”
