And another thing ... Swearing

Ask any footballer, manager or supporter and he or she'll tell you that swearing is 'part of the game'. And with that stupid statement they dismiss it from any further discussion and accept that it is permissable to swear in and at football matches. Well forgive me for disagreeing and pointing this out, but I can't find any reference to it in the laws/rules of the game books and so it definitely isn't.

And blatantly obvious swearing by footballers (and TV/film stars) is mainly responsible for bringing it into the common language of young people. Most of us swear (yes, even me) but we know when it is appropriate and we don't use swearing as a form of disagreement with every decision that doesn't go our way.
