Adam Johnson was convicted for grooming a child and sexual activity with a minor (15 yr old). He continued to play during his bail period but was sacked when he plead guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison. He deserves whatever chants he gets.

These chants and the general tunes behind a chant are ingrained in British fans from very young its hard to explain but it very much a banter and gallows humour.

[@JackulaHD]

Jimmy Saville was a much loved eccentric media personality and television host that was shielded by the BBC for decades. It came out after his death that he was a paedophile. Subsequently Saville has become synonymous with the Paedophile term and anytime humour references it it will inevitably bring up Saville's name. He featured heavily in things like the British version of Cards Against Humanity and within our comedic culture to this day. Fun fact, his gravestone was removed overnight upon the story breaking in the news and sent to landfill. They tried to exhume and cremate his body to remove his grave entirely but this fell through as no one wanted to pay the cost of the exhumation.

[@nigelhyde279]

And allegedly a necrophile.

[@MCBaldyP]

Saville wasn’t shielded by the BBC. If there was evidence of that they’d be shut down. Idiot. And he wasn’t much loved. People who met him saw him as creepy.

Football fans are segregated all over the world because we traditionally like to get into fighta with rival teams. It was especially bad in the 70s 80s 90s. Its a lot better in England these days. Now we choose to throw verbal banter back and forth. There are no rules, the more offensive the better.

[@rjb29uk]

I've been actually surprised when I heard the original songs that football terrace chants are based on. I'd heard a hundred variations of "this town's a shithole, I want to go home", before I heard Sloop John B by the Beach Boys, then I was like, oh, yeah I understand now. Also Doris Day - Que Cera Cera, aka ("whatever will be, will be, we're going to wemb-er-ley, que cera cera). And many other examples. I think most of the tunes were adopted into football in the 60s and people make new chants to fit the tunes people already new. I think the only tune from this century that has made it into a lot of football chants is Seven Nation Army by White Stripes. Maybe in 20 years, there will be kids who know the chant, but then hear the White Stripes song for the first time and go, wow I see it.

[@darrenadams3599]

Noncing is a slang term for paedophilia. It comes from the acronym that was apploed to paedophiles in prison Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise which led to the being known as NONCEs

[@chrismackett9044]

I think the derivation of ‘nonce’ is uncertain. When I worked in prisons some years ago, the story I heard was that originally people imprisoned for non-payment of debts were called ‘nonsense cases’ by ‘proper’ criminals. These civil prisoners were kept separate from convicted prisoners. People who had committed offences against children or other sexual offences were similarly usually kept separate at their own request under the old Rule 43, and the phrase ‘nonsense case’ or ‘nonce’ came to be applied to them. We’ll probably never know the true origin of the term.

[@carldarbyshire4]

I think you're right regarding the origin of NONCE being uncertain, as I heard it applied to the likes of bank managers, lawyers etc who were educated at the likes of Oxford or Cambridge, that had committed fraud and been imprisoned for the offence, but because they couldn't mix with the normal prisoners and were vulnerable, they had NONCE written on their boards outside their cell, which was an acronym for "NOT Of Normal Criminal Etiquette". However, the term nonce is nowadays almost always applied to paedophiles.

[@dannyholden6042]

Adam Johnson - What he did, and what happened to him: In December 2014, Johnson began communicating over social media with a 15-year-old female fan while his partner was pregnant. The following 17 January, he met up with the girl in his Range Rover, where he signed two Sunderland shirts for her. Thirteen days later, they met again, and Johnson kissed the girl. On 2 March 2015, Johnson was arrested by Durham Police on suspicion of having sexual activity with an underage girl, who was 15. On 23 April, he was charged with three offences of sexual activity with a child under 16 and one of child grooming, to which he pleaded not guilty in June. An initial trial date in Durham in September 2015 was later moved to February 2016 in Bradford Crown Court. On 10 February 2016, at the start of his trial, Johnson pleaded guilty to "one count of sexual activity with a child and one count of grooming". He denied two further counts of underage sexual activity. The trial lasted for sixteen days, was presided over by Circuit Judge Jonathan Rose, the lead barrister for the prosecution was Kate Blackwell QC and the lead barrister for the defence was Orlando Pownall QC. On 2 March 2016, Johnson was found guilty on a majority verdict of 10-2 of one count of sexual activity with a child and found not guilty of a second count of the same crime. In a victim impact statement, the girl stated that she suffered abuse on social media during the time Johnson claimed innocence, that she had lost confidence and that her school work had suffered. A court psychiatrist for the defence found Johnson to be "socially and psychologically immature" and stated that there was no evidence that Johnson had a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Johnson was granted bail in order to say farewell to his infant daughter. On 24 March 2016, he was sentenced to six years in prison for grooming and sexual activity with a girl aged 15. The judge also ordered him to pay £50,000 of the prosecution's legal fees of £67,132.

[@Morgana0x]

You have to understand the British sense of humour - nothing is off limits. People know not to take offense. For instance when they were calling the goalkeeper 'you fat bastard' near the end he started clapping towards them and they clapped for him because he was a good sport. Also, these chants come from the standing only areas which are the areas around the goals. Families usually sit in the seating areas. Please react to the best Ultras chants.

[@pashico7082]

Football chants are basically memorised. Nobody has to really start it, people just do. Fans are VERY dedicated to the game, to their club, so why would anyone have to "start" a chant with the rest listening? To reinforce the seriousness of football fans, it's very, VERY rare that the whole stadium unites to even do a meaningless wave like you see in the US. It would take a player to suffer a cardiac arrest on the pitch or something more serious than the football itself for opposing fans to show any kind of unity or solidarity.

In UK football stadiums there is a family stand, so if you are offended by bad words then you take your children to that stand. At away games there is no family area separation for the opposition teams fans. So kids will hear swearing and chanting and songs, but that is part of growing up in the UK.

"Nonce" is a term we use over here in the U.K, it does just mean paedophile, but originates from prisons, where prisoners, who perpetrated certain crimes, like sexual abuse against children, or any other crime that would put them at risk of other offenders. this in turn would make the prison guards label them as "NONCE" an acronym for 'not on normal courtyard exercise'.

The team? No lost as usual 😁. My 6mth old son didn’t stop bouncing his carrier I was wearing with all the singing heard his first swear words too. My 1 week old daughter slept through the whole thing at her first match. ( so did I).

Love folks from "free speech" land having a laugh. Maybe the Puritans are over-represented after all.

I mean, I’m sure there’s plenty that have watched this that went to church to pray after lol. We’re not those kind of people lol.

[@lawrenceneech9517]

Course he did! Completely true

Most our chants are from popular songs or nursery rhymes also we are thick skinned if you had a camera In the other end of the stand you'd hear the opposition fans doing the same versus the other fans and players this isn't as loud it looks like the covid times most epl games are sold out.

[@andreanecchi5930]

you should see videos in which they explain the rules, the roles or the various leagues in the world, if you haven't already done so, and if you want to react to a player I recommend Paolo Maldini, one of the best defenders there have been in this sport

Look for the chants that they used to do about Victoria Beckham (posh spice) when David Beckham played for Manchester United 😉

The chants that you find brutal will always be based on fact - paedophiles, rapists, domestic abuse, drink driving - a football chant is a way of calling them out and letting them know what we think of them. We love football and we love freedom of speech. The chant format is easy to follow - it's either a recognised chant tune or a popular song or a school hymn. Football is still very much a family event and I love taking my kids to watch our team, and if I can't take them their grandad will.

Someone will start but it’ll be in a tune so everyone knows what to sing and the style

Football chants in the uk have some story behind them, or are verbally making different chants a out the other team

Quid is a Pound!

[@bricook886]

the jimmy saville and gary neville, is a leeds utd chant. to explain. saville was from leeds so where ever leeds utd play the opposition sing about him being from leeds. so leeds fans reply with chants against their team. in this sequence i think they were playing salford in the cup and gary neville is a part owner in the club, and he played for man utd who leeds hate. thats as simple as i can put it

[@carlmarch9591]

That is tame for us you should watch the real football factories England and see the carnage of following the england football team for 50 years

[@Killermcknight]

Okay now that sounds fun lol

[@seanmc1351]

adam jonson sadly he played for the team i support, its true, but to give it a bit of conetext, newcastle are i hated rivals, im mean pure hatred when it comes to football, the fans that were singing was at a derby match between sunderland and newcastle, this goes back 100 years, there is only 9 miles between our two cities, you can go either city to work, for a drink, maybe not a drink, shopping all is fine, do not wear your football shirt in either city, you wont leave alive, ,

[@daviekuklatv]

The best chants by far in the uk come from the old firm matches in glasgow, and its not even close due to the sheer hatred, and secterian divison between them

[@lindylou7853]

The Germans have said they will arrest England fans up they bring in blow up RAF planes and start singing, ‘ there were 12 German bombers in the air, and the RAF shot one down …there were 11 German bombers in the air and the RAF shot one down etc …. It’s a tradition when we meet the Germans in football…

[@wiretom]

It’s definitely pee doe file , you’re saying ped a file .

[@Killermcknight]

That’s how Americans pronounce it

[@andrewwatkins4852]
