Someone calls you manager fat head and you get offended? How many times on your board do you call Nigel Pearson flat top or refer to us as Leicesteristan? It doesnt bother us because we have a mental age greater then 5
Nope, try find a post where i have even mentioned it before that one. It really doesnt bother me in the slightest
It bothers me because its a racist and derogative. Plus it annoys me that I find myself posting on the same forum with such imbeciles.
You said 'it doesn't bother us', not that it didn't just bother you, most of your posters have a hissy fit every time it's used.
I've never called Pearson flat top or referred to Leicester as Leicesteristan. I have no problems with Pearson, did a decent job here but I'm glad he left when he did and now the club can progress. I wasn't offended by the video, I'm saying it's hardly a helpful contribution. This whole arguments pointless, there's no chance of Chester going to Leicester.
Were not discussing Chester coming to Leicester. We all know there is interest and there is a possibility of a bid being made but we dont think we will get him and at the price we would have to pay then we are glad were not signing him Hull fans are making him out to be the best defender since Bobby Moore and we are just pointing out he isnt that good
You can't see that 'Leicesteristan' is a derogative and completely racist statement to make because of our cultural diversity? If so then you're just as bad as that **** with his gay scooters.
Guys. guys, let's get a sense of perspective .... I've seen the Leicesteristan comment a few times .... but it doesn't bother me ... I actually embrace the diversity of my home town ... do I think it's really a racist comment? ... no not really .... it's real intent is to get a rise ... but it can only do that is if we somehow feel 'shame' at having our diverse ehnicity allude to... Many of ours have ridiculed Hull as a place o live - 'Dull' has been used by several and references o 'crap' and '****' town league tables are not uncommon We can't throw our toys out of he pram every time someone has a pop ... let's face it ... we quite like it when we do the same ...
I'm as proud as the next when it comes to defending my home town' cultural diversity. Which is why I don't like it when people say 'Leicesteristan'. It's derogative with the sole intent of being racist. The more mature Hull posters get embarrassed by the likes of Cheshire, OLM and Strovolos when they use it and they should.
Right as i think its fair for OLM to have the right the reply i will reopen this thread for now Quite a few Hull fans have said before they dont like how OLM and other refer to us as Leicesteristan. Yes Leicester has alot different cultures but so what, its not a crime. Being racist is, and as proven on twitter quite a few times you can be prosecuted for what you right over the internet even if you think your cant. You cant hide behind a keyboard in a court room. It doesnt bother me what they call us but as mod i have to try my best to keep all the Leicester members happy with how the board is run. Im Leicester born and bred so it doesnt really bother me but if I had different background then i would be offended by that and it would make me uncomfortable to post here. OLM as a fellow mod should understand you have to try and keep your board friendly and not offensive, racist etc. When ever i go onto the Hull board im not offensive to anyone, i may put a few light hearted posts from time to time but i try to give me honest opinions. When ever OLM has asked me to stay away from the board for a bit i have done that i not stirred things further. Quite a few of the Hull fans are decent posters but they have a few who arent. If the Hull fans want to rip us to shreds on their board then they can feel free but when they come onto our board then it cant go on like it did earlier one massive free for all. So as fellow mod OLM should try and keep his posts a little more sensible when posting on others boards. Had i not volunteered to be a mod then i probably would have not held back when going onto others board but as mod i agreed to hold back a little. If as mod you dont feel you cant hold back you posts when going onto other boards i would suggest you stick to your own board
Well done for reopening the thread, I really didn't think it deserved to be closed. I would though, like an apology for the accusation that you've made twice now, that I refer to you as Leicesteristan. I don't, I used the term once, well over a year ago, in direct response to a Hull's a ****hole post, it was done purely to irritate the poster slagging off my city. I've not used it since.
When you refer to people in a negative way about their religion etc it is racist. Im pretty sure when we are referred to as Leicesteristan its not meant as a compliment
