Bunch of hypocrites on here. Racism has always been prevalent on this board and if you care to use the search function above and type in the word '******' you might all get a little surprise at how much that word has been used on this board and by which posters...

I have a condition where the word ****** could definitely be used to characterise me, I wouldn't dream of being upset by seeing the word wrote down on the internet. If it was directed at me, maybe, but probably not. The fact that some grown men were pretty much melting down just because they seen the word is beyond pathetic.
 
Be surprised if we wanted Lowe given he’s played the bulk of his career as a right winger
He is right footed, so would be used more on the left, as an inside forward. He would challenge Clarke, as well as being able to play through the middle. We will not see the best of Jewi, until next season, so would need cover there.

go and post somewhere else then and stop moaning about a place you don’t even want to be part of

it’s boring as **** mate. It’s a football forum not a cock measuring contest.
 
Offence is taken, not given. I’m not apologising to anybody who tells us to go back to our own board and when we do, him and his boyfriend follow us there looking for afters.
Your words were, “chose to be offended”, you can’t categorically state that
As for the rest like I say, I didn’t have a dog in this fight, but if someone had misinterpreted something I had said and thought I was belittling their offspring, I think I might have just apologised for a misunderstanding, whether he’s a **** or not

Well he had a choice to take offence, or not to take offence and he chose to take offence. Like I said, I’m not making any apologies to some fairy who come looking for it. He’s flounced off now anyway so even if I wanted to I couldn’t
 
I think it’s sad that Spurlock was consistently racially abused on this board, without any interference from a mod who bans folk for disagreeing with his clique. Hope you’re well Rooch.
I didn’t see it otherwise I’d have dealt with it. If it was brought to my attention. I’m not in any clique at all, I try to treat each poster on their merits (or lack of!) used to love having you post on our board and was disappointed when it stopped.

Moaning?

I'm just highlighting hypocrisy which folk on here clearly don't want to face.

That’s the point though, he may well have been offended, there is no choice there. I don’t know the bloke, nor did I read the thread, I have no intention to either. However if I felt someone was disparaging my kids, I think I would take offence too. I’m not saying it was deliberate, but that is clearly what he thought.

The most shocking thing about this post was that you managed to find evidence of a Monty response.

I'm not denying never saying the word mate, I dont claim to be a saint on here, as you know I'm far from it.
What I dont like is people, especially good lads like Chunk, continually getting shyte thrown at him when hes mentioned his daughter has a condition and posters even going as far as posting laughing gifs in response to him saying that.
Most of us have kids on here, and to use that against someone is fecking low in my eyes.

You’ve managed to confuse a few people being offended by a word, with a whole forum being offended by a word.

And yes you’re moaning. Or looking for a rise. Both of them pointless.
 
I think Brereton Diaz is a good player but he’s incredibly overrated at the same time. He’s absolutely not what Everton need. But he’s the “name” signing which is always what they want.

Exactly, what he thought. What he chose to think has nothing to do with me.

Should I apologise to everybody in the world who I speak to who may choose to be offended by anything I say? Or just him cos he’s your pal?

I know he’s naturally a striker but he’s been playing out on the left wing for a while now. Everton could do a lot better for the money they’ll have to pay.

Tees, nobody knew about his personal life.

No, you should just have the common decency of any ****ing human.

Then again we probably shouldn't expect to see those sort of attributes displayed by pond scum
