I didn't have a problem with you saying he spoke French; I minded you calling him a champanzee. But you know that. I'm out of this conversation now.
 
Well, he's not our cult hero, despite the much-loathed statue forced on us by our former owner. To be honest, I was offended by the ****phile comment too, but resigned myself to the fact that Jackson's past provokes those remarks. Although part of me says he was found 'not guilty', another part says that celebrities tend to get lenient treatment from the courts in some countries, so who knows? Either way, I put up with those comments from fans trying to get a reaction from us. Likening someone to a chimpanzee on the basis of their ethnicity, however, seems completely unacceptable to me in any context. I've reported that post, by the way.

I don't think TC actually used the term chimpanzee and Gradel in the same sentence though..:biggrin:

FFS if I was to report every so called racist comment directed at me, inferred or not I'd become a moderator.
 
Not sure what this post is about now but I see we have a number of Leeds visitors.

I can still remember when Leeds were good. Old Don Revie was a great manager.

So was Wilko, we won the league under him as well. Not to mention a decade later when we were in the cl semis under O'Leary. No shortage of good times at Leeds <ok>

We were bored because of the lack of life on the Wallies board, so we thought we'd have a bit of banter on here, all in good fun......;)
 
This must be the classiest forum around. No fishing to be had here, move on (to the Ipswich board, now they do bite!)

CM. My comment was factually correct. The young lad whose name escapes me was paid off and didn't go to court to make whatever allegations he had, and the confidentiality clause also meant the allegations were never made public. The chimpanzee cannot speak. Do you agree with all this so far?


I resent being tarred with the clearly racist utterings of TC by you! I am not however shocked that having being busted by you TC tried to link my factually correct comments to his comment by way of a defence. Typical of his type.

probably a London thing Glory ;)
 
Although I don't like to speak for Captain, I don't think he addressed you directly at all with his responses to the racial thing. I think we all know it was TC who did the dirty.

Sorry, I wasn't aware this was a don't speak till spoken to forum.
I just wanted to make sure they everyone knows that I was in no way libellous or defaming of MJ or his estate seen as two parties brought me into their conversation. <cheers>
 
What is considered banter to one person maybe racist to others and vice verse. I also feel there are double standards and hypocrisy regarding the subject of racism....unfortunately PC ism seems to be the thing now..:emoticon-0101-sadsm
