If this is a reference to tv commentators apologising because of some swearing coming from crowd or team then I believe they have to do it rather than just pandering to sensitive folk. They can get into trouble if they don’t. Apparently.

If you aim it at an individual I will report it as abuse as we have been asked to do. It is then up to the mods to decide if it is acceptable or not.

Site rules - as you often state.

I think OHL was referring to the commentary team apologising for Bellamy being heard swearing during the game though?

Personally I don't see why abusing an individual is any worse than abusing a group or a large number of people.

Some people skirt around the edges, they flirt with abuse and often enough they are the first to moan.

PS, I don't know why they have to apologise when you consider the amount of bad language we hear on the tv every day. There used to be a watershed, some language wasn't even tolerated after 9pm but now it's almost a free for all, a tad hypocritical I'd say

Totally agree. Different rules apply in different areas, some language that individuals use at the stadium are not acceptable here because of the site rules. We are visitors to the site and accept the rules or not post, it really is as simple as that.

It’s not at all. Normally, the individual has done or said something to justify it (at least in the eyes of the person criticising them).

Having a go at a fanbase or trust members in general is weird. The vast majority of them are just every day people who chipped in what they could to save the club. Calling them thick or sheep or whatever is completely baffling. They aren’t decision makers, they just pay their fiver a year.

My point was and is that it is bizarre and rather sad to see broadcasters coming up with this garbage
It’s like trying to hide the absolutely obvious to young folk .
We have created a generation that apologises,for no other reason than to cover oneself . No apology at all.
It’s like being afraid to offend religious folk with profanities or anything possibly blasphemous . If people are offended ,then it’s their problem.

Maybe ,we should blank the screens at 6pm ,when the news is on showing children maimed and killed in wars . It is happening and kids know it is . It’s offensive to think they want to be protected against being offended .
The net has ensured that “ bad / foul language is part of every day life

You make good points. I believe the Trust members should be ashamed of themselves for the havoc they have created at the club.

The club as a whole agreed to allow them to invest in the club and play a role. They in their wildest dreams did not expect to be threatened by court action for SIX years. They were empowered and given a role and according to you then say "I am a simple ordinary person that does not understand things". In that case vote against action.

There performed badly and should be brave enough to apologise to the club. None will. They are not accountable and therefore no good.

By paying £5 or whatever the fan became an OWNER of the club and therefore had a RESPONSIBILITY. They voted for legal action.

That is on a par with saying the British public are to blame for the way the last government handled covid because they voted for them.

Created because we couldn’t trust each other ,Welsh people stabbing each other on the back. Really .

The trust was created in the wake of Tony Petty and Mike Lewis we were raising money to oust a bad owner and save the club and that was achieved.

It wasn't a lack of trust in other Welsh people, it was pure hatred and loathing for what Petty and Lewis did to our club.

Anyway, bad language, snide comments, they are a part of life but the people in charge live in fear of complaints so they apologise for everything in case some poor soul gets offended.

Innit.

It's quite staggering to see how badly some people can misunderstand what the whole thing was about.

In any case, I find the moral outrage over "bad language" to be frankly ludicrous. Of all the things in the World to get riled up about, hurty words are fairly low ranking, whether written or spoken.

A good swear can cut right through the nonsense and get to the point much better than a load of waffling, although it its best bad language is more effective as an exclaimation mark rather than punctuation.

Watching football on TV is a safe space for people to enjoy normally with no profanity. A family place. Broadcasters offer this service and blot out the swearing. Putting a microphone near the 4 th official was unwise and probably done by the Is Icelandic broadcaster who is not obliged to follow UK broadcasting rule.

Bad language ups ths ante in arguments and debates and does not help. It might add something in a poem or a team talk to ad gravity to something.

I rarely swear and feel uncomfortable with people who do.

Audiences need to toughen up.

Although as previously intimated, swearing is best used sparingly otherwise it loses its effect.

Swearing , out of order jokes and awful in my eyes banter , heard it all before and nothing can shock me anymore , been there done it got the Tee Shirt .

Hate people swearing when I hear it , I do have conversations with close mates and a few chats will involve naughty words , part of the story telling but a bit of a non event .

Now it seems swearing is a culture sadly for some youngsters as a get out clause to blow their top or look big , another problem with educational or social needs and upbringing.

Many will take cursing and foul language as second nature sadly these days though .

You'd best get used to bad teeth, thet stae of our dentistry services.

Take me, I'm a regular at the dentists, far too regular this year because they made a mess of a treatment and it caused me loads of trouble, one of my teeth is still giving grief, I have had several infections and my tetth are starting to look awful..

What are my choices? If I leave the practice I'll have to go private because finding an NHS dentist these days is like finding a needle in a very large haystack.
