    Wimbledon fans on twitter saying it started over some MK Dons chants
    I don’t know if this is true or not, but why do our ‘fans’ think it’s ok to sing songs to other fans about their rivals to wind then up? It’s really weird. Singing Southampton songs at Portsmouth the other night and now potentially this, I simply don’t get it 
    What is there to get? It is simply banter and has been going on for years and years. Of course some might get offended but it works both ways. 
    Singing 'saints go marching in' is one of the worst things has fanbase has ever done. cringe as fuck

    Hang on, so someone shouted mk dons at afc  so they decided to attack some innocent bystanders/scarfers (whatever you want to call them)? It's banter ffs. They're gonna get a rude awakening if they keep behaving like that tbh. You don't do shit like that without someone taking exception to it later down the line.

    Some of the bants between rival fans is quite humourous and part of the match day experience  , but this is pathetic.

    What? Why wouldn't you? 

    Maybe we should stop singing in support of our team. I mean that's pretty provocative.

    I would never sing ‘when the saints go marching on’ , it’s not our song and I don’t give a shit about Southampton

    I don't even know where to start with this.

    Football fans sing to support their team and undermine the opposition. Why would it not be "ok"? Do you think of all of the objectionable things football fans say and do singing in support of a team seen as rivals by your opposition is beyond pale?

    Why would you sing other clubs songs? Would you expect Wimbledon fans to be singing Palace’s or Millwall’s songs at us today ?

    I thought it sounded a bit lame.
    I mean, I get it if we sing something like Small team in Southampton.
    But singing Southampton's own signature song? I mean, the Saints, who wants them to come marching in. Fuck 'em  ;)

    That's how they got their bully reputation in the non league

    I wouldn't expect it it but I would think it was funny in a bantering kind of way. I mean, I wouldn't be deeply offended. I don't think I would try to attack anyone.

    I suppose after another win some can't moan at the players or TS so have a moan at our supporters instead just for having a bit of banter. Now I don't get it!

    If they did I would be appalled if a gang of our fans beat up the next small bloke they came across wearing a Wimbledon scarf.
    Trying to suggest that there was any justification whatsoever in this cowardly attack is pathetic.

    What was it that the Wimbledon fans were calling Robinson when he was our manager?

    Couldn’t agree more - pathetic behaviour. We are Charlton and Charlton only.

    Errr yes it absolutely is. Any proper fan up and down the country would never sing another teams chants.

    Well, they're in the big league now, so you dish it out, you have to take it back at some point I guess. No class this lot at all. Its a shame actually, cause the story could have been a good one, but they appear to be followed by a load of idiots! I mean, Wimbledon, behave yourselves and pipe down ffs. I really dislike this lot and the Robinson stuff with their steward or whatever he was left a very bad taste. But anyway we won so fuck em haha!

    Pompey sang Bubbles at our place earlier in the season. Even adding the “United, United, United..” bit at the end. Cardiff have done it in the past as well. 
    No one cares. It doesn’t rile anyone. Everyone just thinks they’re silly c***s. As you say, cringey as f***. 

    Expect better from both those clubs as well.

    That good, because it looks like they’re going to be your main South London rivals for the foreseeable 😉
    They’ll have to move to a larger stadium again if they are going to be the second biggest club in south London after Charlton in that case

    Apparently our fans got 'battered' after signing mk dons songs according to their twitter
    Because the afc fans were deaf?

    On the train I got (about 5.30 towards London Bridge) there was a lot of young CAFC fans singing songs about Milton Keynes and trying to have a go at any Wimbledon fans. There really was no need for it, but some of it got a bit physical, I didn't see properly.  Telling AFCW of all teams that "you let your team die" is, I think, massively wide of the mark. It's thanks to them that  the franchising they endured won't ever happen again.
    I don't know what happened at London Bridge as I got off at Greenwich but I don't think we can say Charlton fans haven't done anything wrong here
