One Bar 0 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 No. But that is. And its not condoned by this site. We are trying to promote the site in new places, and bring in new members, and comments like that are going to upset people, and turf them away. The first part of the post isnt racist, stereotypical yes, but racist, no shipmate. With regards to the last part of his post about living in the 70s and 80s, I 100% agree with him. I wont accept supporters from Asia etc and never will, that's my own opinion which I'm entitled to. A football club either runs in your family or is your local team. End of.

Oh is that so?....Well..if thats the case..then...I would say "CFC" would never have beeen one of the biggest in the world instead would have just beeen a local club for Local people....everyone has a right to support the club they like......

No-one in my family really supports an English team only myself. We're all massive Rangers fans. I got into Chelsea by chance after going to a game whilst in London with my dad years ago. Does that make me any less of a supporter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

changingman2000 35 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Guys, it wasn't the word yid he was shitting himself over, it was the stereotype that CM2000 made about 'yids', I think it was something to do with greed and money. And when you combine the word yid with the negative songs some sing, its easy to see how it can be construed as a negative word, much as the same as how the and word to describe a black person became so negative when combined with slavery. It's much a do over nothing though. No-ones going to change some people's views on these things. Why waste your breath? Are you picking on me again Eliott? You are stereotyping me as a stereotype, I think. Songs don't always need to be "negative", or "racist", they could just simply be used to wind up the opposition. Irish people have been steotyped for years as being Thick", no one seemed to bat much of an eyelid over that old chestnut, But stereotyping a Yid as tight is overstepping the mark? But havent they always been a "tight" race? Who gives a fuck, Where does it say that we need to be walking on eggshells when slagging off the yids?

I'm not even saying I'm agreeing with Cracker, I was just pointing the true issue of his chagrin. I don't have much issue with anyone stereotyping a Jew as tight, same with the Irish example.

pluto 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 This thead is up to 11 pages and I swear about only 5 is about the actual topic! Come on no more clap trap about race I'm fed up with it, I don't care! Green, yellow, pink, blue, Israeli, English, Indian it's all one big melting pot to me. Avram failed to beat Jose's winning record at Pompey, have to admit I thought it was a given the way his luck's been going. I'll bet if Jose is still taking an interest he would have had a chuckle over his glass of red vino that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,362 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I went to my local PC world the other day, tell you what, you have to be fucking careful what you say in there Too right. I went in there for twin coaxial cable, and four salesmen come up to me at the same time, a black fella, an Asian, A Chinaman, and a Yid. I said ''What a wonderful concept of racial harmony''. But you've got to be so careful. As for Currys, dont get me started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 You have all these headlines in the paper like "Avram as good as Jose" but that really isnt the case. I can see from games Avram Grant is a poor tactician and he doesnt look as if he can change matches very well... I mean take reading & newcastle at home for instance, both games we won but my god... Reading 2nd half we just invited them to score against us and it was the same vs newcastle, they did score and we got lucky with Kalou's goal. Everton at home is a prime example of probably what would have happened in those games and shows we cant keep using this game plan with Avram uses more or less every home game, score then lock up. At least Jose knew how to hold onto a lead properly... And yes, I know we got the results IN THE END but we seriously need to play better than that.

Fulham Broadway 17,362 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Good points GZ. I dont blame Grant as I seriously dont think he has any input, hes clueless, but you're right a void is there where Mourinho, at half time fired up the boys. Ten cates and Clarke do their best though. I thought against Pompey we were pretty average a lot of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 You know if you put Grant in charge of Bolton they would go straight down... He is a crap manager with world class players at the moment, Even steve coppell would have a better impact on the team than Avram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
