So in your case despite a lot of hype you are ultimately a bit if a disappointment.
Is that you Mrs Ted?

Deary me.
Talk about starting at the wrong end of a problem.
How much time did they waste constructing this piece of nothingness? All time that could be used making a meaningful difference, by detecting and eliminating known acts of racism by racist fans openly in public for GHod knows how long (you won't even need sherlock for this one).
'certain clubs' - f*ck me, for credibility just say 'Tottenham' stop ***** footing around, if you're saying something, say it. And while you're at it, for balance, how about the a special mention for the 'certain clubs' that use it not as 'a badge of honour' but as vile anti-semitic abuse.
You enforce the laws of football, not the land. If you want too lobby parliment, to amend a law so the use of this word, in any form, becomes illegal, then feel free (and good luck). In the meantime you can request all you like but can enforce nothing.
You acknowledge the term is born out of the Yiddish word for Jew. There was no racist overtones at this point. They were beautifully crafted by people a lot less deserving of an announcement than us ().
We use it as it was originally meant, stop them people, and what are you left with?

Superb post and retort to an increasingly ridiculous trend in society, not just football.

Until the FA and UEFA start giving proper punishmets for other teams using the term Yid or using anti semitic chants then we have little to worry about.
Once again, the FA show that they dont have the understanding, clout, nouse nor acumen to address the issue, never mind offer a solution.
Their statement is ill informed and presumptuous and has little, or no, legal merit.
All vague, badly drafted and opinionated press releases do is light the fire and achieve very little. No doubt the left wing press, including the BBC, will be at the Lane in their droves on Sat and will report ANY use of the word Yid, in detail.

A few renditions of Jermain Defoe, he's a yiddo should confuse the meedya then!

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR SUPPORTERS’ TRUST
RESPONSE TO THE FA POSITION STATEMENT ON THE USE OF THE ‘Y’ WORD IN FOOTBALL
11th SEPTEMBER 2013
The Board of Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust notes, with interest, the recent statement from The FA regarding the use of the term ‘Yid’ within a football environment.
This issue has always been of the utmost importance to us and, whilst we fully recognise that Spurs fans use of the Y word and associated identity may have caused some upset to members of the Jewish community, we sincerely believe that no Spurs fan uses the term in a malicious way.
As stated at the meeting with The FA at Soho Square in 2006, THST believes that rather than focus on Tottenham Hotspur fans using the term, more work needs to be done to educate supporters of other clubs as to why it is completely unacceptable for them to continue to sing songs and chants that do not focus solely on Spurs fans but slur the Jewish community as a whole. THST recommended a programme be developed to educate fans of opposing teams as to why the meaning when used by others differed to the meaning when used by Spurs fans. It's with much sadness we report that no such programme took place, in spite of our offers of assistance.
THST is categorically against ejections and banning orders for the use of the term by Tottenham Hotspur supporters in a match environment and will be seeking advice from both the FSF and the legal profession as to whether there is scope for such measures under current legislation. Our view has always been that should Spurs fans use of the ‘Yid’ identity come to an end, this should be as a result of the feeling amongst the Spurs community that it was time to naturally move on.
Over the coming weeks and months, we will continue to communicate with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and The FA to best serve Tottenham Hotspur supporters on this matter.
We welcome all contribution of ideas towards that aim either by email to info@THSTOfficial.com, via our website located at www.THSTOfficial.com or through our twitter account @THSTOfficial.
End.

Haven't listened to talk****e for years, but he seems to have got Baddiel to admit the prob is Chelsea and other fans being abusive and not Spurs fans who are not being offensive.

The problem with Baddiel is his credibility.
How can you rant on about this issue being disgusting, racist, and offensive, and yet still continue too sit among the worst perpetrators at Stamford Bridge.
His love of Chelsea is greater and of more importance to him than his religion. That is the only conclusion you can draw.
If he cannot make a stand, it's because he is spineless.

It was precisely because of the abuse directed at Spurs fans from supporters of other clubs that the term 'Yids' was adopted.
