    Yeah okay then. Are you the kind of person who thinks that it's okay to use the term Paki because it's just short for Pakistani? Asking for a friend.

    except nowhere in that song is there any derrogatory term other than the one calling Mbappe a tranny, so the point is moot.
    Are you the kind of person that gets offended on someone else's behalf because it gives you a buzz of self-righteousness?

    Nothing to do with the song it was a question?

    And in answer to your question no I'm not, but I do recognise when someone is being offensive and I'm happy to call people out when they are talking bobbins.

    Macca was a far more effective player than Gascoigne whose "quality" far too often looked good but achieved nothing .

    Wasn't Mcmanaman called the postman by the RM fans for how erratic his deliveries were? (Not a big fan of the Spanish postal service there)

    Paki is racist

    Paddy is also racist

    And so is... all French black players are from Angola/Nigeria


    Only racists think otherwise

    Not sure about this one.

    First of all, Irish isn't a race.
    Secondly half the Irish people I know are nicknamed Paddy and use the name as their sobriquet (I also have a welsh mate who we call Taff, who also uses the name himself).
    I mean, its not something I would just call an Irish person, without their leave, but its used quite a lot by brits as a term of endearment towards Irish friends.

    You've spent the whole tournament taking the piss out of us and get called one mild phrase and you shout 'racism.'

    Don't be silly.

    I thought it was a video that Sucky had put up from twitter, that I had just scrolled past previously, so I looked back and there was nowt there, other than some link feeding back to twitter - I only made sense of it because Ern had posted up the transcript or that's what I think it was.

    You're English...no I'm not I'm British! So why do you support England, because it's where I was born, so you're English, maybe, depends how well we do in the football. <whistle><laugh><bubbly>

    Sasanachs.
    Had to google it because I hadnt a clue how to spell it.
    Most of the world calls us Pommies though I believe, particularly Americans and Australians,

    Agreed it can be a term of endearment, but that doesn't change the fact its also often used negatively.

    Like i said to peej, go to ireland and start calling everyone paddy and you'll see how well it's taken.
