20 goal striker.

In the second scenario and the gay striker ballooned the ball over the bar, in that moment I’m sure the fans would say something like ‘haha you insert expletive here’

Whether that can be deemed as homophobic I’m not sure.

An opposing player has made a mistake and will receive personal ridicule wether he’a fat, tall, black, gay, ginger, blond, from another county,  from another country, short......that’s life on terraces.

Yes it does matter

It matters because they are in a town shirt not another teams.

As the old adage goes: play for the team on the front, and we will support the name on the back

A lot of people saying that "they'd unfortunately get a lot of stick from the stands". As fans we all have a responsibility to call this out and make the bigots who would do this kind of thing feel as stupid and narrow minded as they should be. I was disappointed that the twitter profile which claimed to be a gay footballer coming out turned out to be a hoax as this could have been a ground breaking moment for our sport. At least 10% of the population identify as LGBTQ so it's a real shame to me that there are a significant number of footballers who are living their lives unable to be open about who they are. The sooner this changes the better!

Edited to what is acceptable "top banter" from life on the terraces.

And how many of those are actually gay etc  from that denomination? It was proven that people are jumping on the bandwagon because it's trendy to be part of this at the moment. Shocking, but true

I mean, people are identifying themselves as broccoli and fu(king caterpillars!

That's ridiculous. Why would anyone "jump on the bandwagon"? Don't believe everything Piers Morgan says the guy is a thundercunt.

Quoted from 140067

Just say we find a 20 a season striker, but.... he's openly gay would it make a difference to how us supporters would view him?
On the other hand a striker takes a penalty hits it down the middle, McKeown saves with his legs and the follow up shot balloons over, the penalty taker is openly gay. Will he receive homophobic chants?

What are the views on gay footballers?

WTF are you on? And are you inferring Tuesdays Cambridge penalty taker was gay?

When you go back after half term get your teacher to give you more homework to keep you busy

Quoted from thefish

It’s 2019... this shouldn’t even be a topic of conversation!

Yes it is 2019, how many footballers come out as gay. 2019 and racism is rife.

Ipswin my dear ^ old thing, patronising as ever, come out with something better than your usual line of "do more homework. Sounds like you didn't do much homework as you've not got much imagination or
             Very
