Quote: tad rhino "if the worst is clunky is not bad then is it?'" Yes you're right, I mistyped in my ire. At best it's clunky it should read but actually it isn't clunky, it's a racist term and has no place on here. Jamie Vardy would agree. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-l ... e-37477703

as you say disgracful and racist.
anytime I see the word Brit describing British people I'm going to get very offended from now on

Perhaps take the time to research the negative connotations as explained in the article I posted above. It is not the simple shortening of the word, it is the huge negative slur used in the second world war and has no place on here or anywhere. I presume then by your logic you are comfortable abbreviating the word Pakistani? Can you not see the weaponised awful intentions of these words? How are we to proceed and grow if we don't call out this stuff and change our behaviour?

I hear the term used multiple times every day, by Pakistanis taking the out of each other. obviously not that offensive to them but I guess you're someone who's always offended by something

Now now lads let’s leave it there.

Some of the commentators refer to Solomon as the Israeli signed from Spurs.

Ok lets leave it there. The systemic response when folk are pulled up on using such language. Believe what you want or remain in your bubble if you like but this language is utterly appalling and the continued privilege of simply explaining it away by saying it is an "ok shortened version" or suggesting clunkiness or that I am somehow overreacting shows we have not really come very far at all. Nobody, NOBODY, should be using such terms.

I again suggest you read the article I posted about Jamie Vardy and the historical context. Japanese lad is ok I suppose but I'd probably just call him by his actual name ideally. It's pretty easy.

You’ve not pulled me up on anything? Nothing to do with me bud I’m just trying to calm matters.

Yes I can see that, sorry I am newish to commenting and totally accept that,

Anyway looking ahead… it’s a must win game this weekend, already 5 behind top. Need to win next 3 really as tough run coming up in October. Could make or break even this early

Not a problem bud.

Trebor is correct - this is a crucial period.

If you read between the lines promotion needs to happen this season or it will be catastrophic for the club.

Interesting take on Kinnear's chat with Square Ball by Simon Rix - seems Angus' replies don't pass the Rix rigour test!!

If it is so crucial we have to get promotion this season which I`m sure it is.
Then why were we looking at the bargain basement once again in order to bring quality to the club?
We have known for 3 years we need a striker and a 10 and yet we didn`t get either.
Speculate to accumulate should have been our mantra this year especially as we brought in so much money with transfers out of the club.
For me it`s a no brainer.
