If that's what would happen to blonde haired, blue eyed men, I might have to rethink my hostility to it.
I see the club statement warning fans and encouraging them to report anyone who uses the Y-word (which uses the term "mindless supporters") has met with quite a backlash on Facebook.
Time for a V for Vendetta approach. N thousand masked supporters singing the Y word. Which ones are Plod going to arrest during the match ?? The ones closest to them ??
If Plod arrest anybody we should all sing 'The laughing Policeman'. 35 thousand people all laughing together would really take the piss.
They made a right mess of it. They indirectly called Spurs fans using the Y-word as "mindless" that other fans shouldn't have to put up with. I'm sure it was unintentional but they really could've done a lot more to explain the situation to us, these kind of statements do nothing except raise more questions for the fans.
So YV are you as mindless as you are vicious? I must say that all I have noticed is your obvious intelligence!
Was the "mindless" bit in previous press releases about abusive supporter behaviour ?? It looks like the Y word stuff may have been cut and paste into a previous press release (hence the way the current stuff reads) .
Their fence-sitting stance is doing the most harm. In a previous release they said the club will not comment so not to prejudice an ongoing court case, but by doing so they're leaving fans at the mercy of overzealous coppers looking for an easy afternoon's work and a nice little bonus for banging up a couple of fans on trumped-up charges (which didn't occur to them when they were escorting West Ham fans to WHL back in October, strange that...) The complete press release... The Police have also confirmed to us that they will be adopting a zero tolerance approach to all forms of anti-Semitic abuse, as well as anything considered to be foul, abusive, homophobic or racist. We therefore ask all supporters, both home and away, to be mindful of their language and behaviour at White Hart Lane. The Club does not tolerate discrimination of any sort, on the pitch or in the stands, and the Police and our stewards shall take action against anyone heard using abusive, offensive or obscene language. Should you experience anyone behaving in this manner, you can report it to the Club by texting the Control Room on the following number: 07537 404821 You do not have to put up with mindless supporters who are intent on ruining your experience with us, so use the system, report the individuals and let us take it from there. We will treat your correspondence in strictest confidence. For our staff, it is better to monitor the problem as it is happening as we can view the area of concern on CCTV and deal with everything quickly. The Texting Service has been used to good effect in enabling us to ban people for committing offences on matchdays in the past. We have a fantastic atmosphere at the Lane and we hope everyone continues to focus their energies on cheering the team on. We do, however, have to put up with mindless directives that only exist because of some jumped-up QC with an agenda has been given credence even though his argument is nonsensical, biased, and ignorant.
I think you're right actually. What a stupid thing to do though. Announcing that the police are going to continue warning and arresting fans could do with a bit more attention than just adding it into a stock statement, especially since it's the police that will have told them to notify the fans.
"I think you're right actually. What a stupid thing to do though." Very lazy. And equally stupid given the number of backs it has put up, and vindication it gives Plod and the haters.
Meanwhile, on the THST Twitter... https://twitter.com/THSTOfficial/status/428204730809339904 https://twitter.com/THSTOfficial/status/428205002755407872 While this is on their webpage...
"In Germany in 1933, SS men stood outside Jewish shops to deter anyone from entering. In 1934, buses, trains and park benches had seats marked out for us to sit on and our children were taught specifically anti-semetic ideas. In 1935 the Nuremberg Law was passed and Jews lost their rights to be German citizens and marriage between Jews and non-Jews became illegal. You know how this story ends. In 2013 Jews and non Jews in a small corner of London, are united. Please please please, don’t f**k that up." Fantastic read.
I used to be blond and blue eyed.Well,I'm still blue eyed! I'd hate to be caste in the same group as an Arayan Nazi! Anyway,I was always under the impression that the "blue eyed blondes" originated from the Vikings and their areas.......
Have geneticists worked out a rough timeline yet as to when the blonde hair + blue eye traits appeared in humans ??
