Dave! CS must be punished for causing me to miss the chance to finally shake Paul McVeigh's hand. It's now the fourth time I've missed the chance.
Apparently in football grounds it is "banter"! hence seems to be tolerated among many, which says to me that there is a long, long way to go to inside stadiums to make the atmosphere free of abuse, racism, hatred, violence etc.
Dave, I was referring to posts which repeat "discredited tittle tattle" about managers, players etc. I didn't mean people on here attacking other posters. If you want examples: posts propagating the scandalous Morison/Tierney gossip; posts referring to "Porno Jewell", and the like. Thai points out that footie fans like to claim that this sort of dirt is "banter". Well it isn't.
Rio Ferdinand issued £220K fine for not wearing Kick it Out T-Shirt. John Terry fined £220K for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand. F***ing disgraceful.
They're a disgrace to the human race. They belong in cages in the zoo as far as I'm concerned, lets not forget about 17-18 years ago during the wars it was perfectly acceptable for them to go into villages rape all the women and massacre everyone. Barbarians who need to learn manners if I had my own way I'd carpet bomb the ****ers back into Stoneage.
why is it disgraceful? if it came from man utd, then surely its just the club highlighting how ridiculous terry's punishment was...which isnt really news...
I suppose carpet bombing is preferable to machine gunning or whatever; at least the guys dropping the bombs aren't in a position to rape anyone. As for saying "They belong in cages in the zoo", that is precisely how those who make monkey noises and gestures from the terraces think.
It's disgraceful because it shows the disparity between club and national FA when dealing with such issues. Rio F chose not to wear it to show his disapproval of the paltry sentence given to Terry for racially abusing his brother - yet for his troubles, he gets hit with an equivalent financial penalty. Disgraceful, as I already said.
I've read this thread today, and don't really get your points at all Robbie? Porno Paul and two players being gossiped about is not that same as a whole stadium racially abusing players on the pitch and than their safety being under threat. I don't understand your point on that at all. Danny's Rose's reaction was nothing, where is the proof that he was even aiming that ball at the fans or he just kicked the ball out of frustration. I think Danny Rose dealt with it brilliantly myself, and the whole England team deserve credit for the way they handled it, Butland got everyone down the tunnel. Unfortunately anyone with an England badge on their chest was targetted.
The thread is entitled "Shameful". The post you are referring to was prompted by the sickening chanting aimed at Dave Jones by Leeds fans at the Wednesday v Leeds game. My point was simply that racist abuse is not the only sort of shameful behaviour encountered at football matches, and some of the attitudes which such behaviour incorporates can also be found on forums such as this. I was not suggesting that broadcasting gossip about Morison and Tierney is on a par with what happened either at Hillsborough or at the Under 21 match in Serbia. Shamefulness has degrees. But football would be the better for being rid not just of racism but of shameful behaviour generally.
still unsure what exactly is disgraceful. if you mean the paltry sentence/fine handed out to terry, then yes, that is disgraceful, but that isn't news. if you mean man utd handing ferdinand the same fine, then i dont understand how that is a disgrace? man utd set the fine themselves, and how strange they should make it exactly the same as terry's fine - could it be that they are trying to draw comparisons in the players behaviour and associated fine? making their point well...
You haven't replied why Ferdinand thinks its OK to call gays ***gots. Is it because he is equally as bigoted as John Terry? How about Peter Tatchell taking him to court! Maybe another £220,000, which by the way is two weeks wages, the maximum the club could fine him I imagine.
Do you go up to people telling edgy jokes and tell them they're 'sickening', or do you just reserve your feigned moral indignation for when you're on the internet, and cued by the tabloids to be angry.
As it continues to. A mate texts you a Jimmy Savile joke: oooh, edgy hahaha, good one. Leeds fans sing 'he shags who he wants' after provocation: vile animals. Spot the hypocrisy.
