I blitz then using my trusty weapon (Not what you're thinking, it's a tea towel). What if a tea towel was actually what we were thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello 77 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Like Bob a job week..we should have kill a wasp week. Now we're all loose women I've got to point out that they're pollinators and eat the flies that park on our crisp sarnies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 seems to me that it's down to the culture of where you are brought up …...in spain laurie Cunningham was always called "el *****" and no one batted an eyelid (cept maybe laurie)....Eusebio worldwide had 2 nicknames " the black pearl & black panther" whether he took offence I know not . …...the aussies call the indigenous Australian the derogatory abo's ive heard . the Pakistan cricket team described as the paki's when playing in Australia .does that make the white people of spain & Australia racist ?.... I suspect not but anyone using those terms here would be vilified as ron Atkinson found out when he added the word ****** in describing lazy footballers ….. Is ron Atkinson a racist bigot ? carlton palmer who knows him doesn't think so yet he's branded as one by many . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a guy blacked up to impersonate Michael Jackson on Aussie TV Mark Little came on British TV and said racism is ingrained in Australian society. Probably not spite (or maybe in some instances) but probably slight ignorance of other cultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have struggled long and hard trying to determine what exactly racism is and come up with terminology and a description for it. It's a slippery and a vague one. Spose it can come down to subjective and personal experience. Power, violence, discrimination, stereotyping, use of language, being derogatory, history and empowerment all play a part. Governments have spent thousands on think tanks and people on here think they've got a handle on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us know him personally and whether it would be like him to do so. Because of his previous outbursts and temperamental behaviour. He can be volatile, and whilst I believe all these traits help him be the very talented player he is, it can also have a negative side, so becuase of that I wouldn't be suprised.

BDM4nil Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I got told the day after the match and from a Mansfield fan who knows a fair few of their players, that the Mansfield skipper had been incensed by FF using the N word, though in Spanish. If proven, I would prefer to get rid of FF. I'm not saying he did say this, but I'm actually having a very hard time in making an argument in my mind, as to why a seemingly well rounded individual would make such a thing up about a fellow professional.

Think I'll wait, before labeling one of our players a racist on a hunch. I don't know and neither do my comments say that I do. Yes I have heard of being innocent until proven guilty. I've only said what I was told and also given my own thoughts and on a chat forum. All who've joined this thread - which include yourself - could just wait and see here in fairness I suppose I have labeled one of our players as a potential racist though, I do accept, but the key word here is potential. I do also acknowledge that I am still not FF greatest fan and despite all his talents and this is still all from when he refused to play for us against Norwich - shameful, IMO. That said I stand by what I've said in this thread and also how I've said it. Edited August 1, 2018 by BDM4nil Spelling mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hoots Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 There is no evidence. Unless it was somehow recorded. There is no evidence. One or more people saying it happened has no more validity than one or more people saying it didn’t. There is no evidence. How many times must this be said. There is no evidence ( that’s 4 ). How can the FA act without evidence? The referee couldn’t have heard it or FF would have been red carded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The evidence will come from witnesses and anyone choosing to lie could find themselves being charged with perverting the course of justice ,this applies to all parties ,lying on behalf of someone is very dangerous territory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
