What on earth has that got to do with it?

Is it ok to make jokes, as long as I am not black?

You clearly do not understand what constitutes bullying or offensive/upsetting comments and behaviour.

Wheels - please feel free to PM me with an outline of what I have put, anywhere in this thread, breaches 2.1.

Or any other moderator, please.

No, you are being too precious. Unless he knows you away from the boards how can he possibly know you have a speech impediment?



You haven't. Neither of you have. But it was you that started getting personal first.

In my opinion you are both as bad as each other, and to be honest I really couldn't care less.

It's funny watching you cry foul about it though, just because you were losing the argument.

You clearly don't understand how a message board works.

I I I I I I I wish to place on record that I have no idea who "dboy" is nor whether or not he or she is black. It is also true that if my forum software is equippped with the latest speech-impediment or pigmentation detecting equipment, then it must be on the blink.

I further wish it to be known that I have no issue with the speech-impaired. I even went to see The King's Speech, and like Hugh Grant.


Ooooooooooooooh, Belt. Below.
Was for a bit, but cringemaking now.

28 pages and Bradford is still sponsored by a dodgy financial company. FACT . End of argument apart from Bradford fans baaing and Leeds fans joining in.

And Chris Joynt slipped...

Not many, I'll bet. In all my years of supporting Gateshead I've never heard anything so ridiculous.

Roffle. I'm not sure why everybody thinks I'm a Leeds fan. Not once have I ever claimed to have supported Leeds, ever.

Yeah but we all know you are really

A long-established large FTSE-250 company is in no way "dodgy", whether or not it engages in an activity you disapprove of. If Provident is "Dodgy" then many would deem the means by which your bankrolled-club's owner came by his wealth to be likewise. But, as all the world has seen, you are careful not to blast HIM in the same way. And I would blast neoither, since they are both putting money into a game starved of income.

What you have opined is NOT a "FACT". It is your opinion.

You are right about it being "End of Argument" though; you lost the argument ages ago. If you want to pursue your marxist crusade against capitalism, that's your right; but do it on your own time, eh? Most folk on these forums (apart from those of the Wakey crew who seem to have gained an unhealthy and unpleasant obsession with Bradford, seemingly because of perceived unfairness in how THEY feel they were treated) seem prepared to accept that money coming into the game from a new source, and one of the largest businesses in the land to boot, can on balance only be a good thing.

Now, back to important matters. It would have been embarrassing had the penalty been given and Bradford gone on to win. Perverse referreing notwithstanding, we should never have got into that position in the first place. And had our lot been so certain it WAS a voluntary tackle, no-one would have laid hands on him so it would have been obvious to even the official that it was indeed voluntary. I must admit though, like the 'Vark I do have some recollection that this topic had been debated previously? Maybe in some obscure, little-visited and short-lived thread?

Doesn't blast him? More like ignores the point completely. If you look back, any time the VERY dodgy way a certain Huddersfield chairman got his money is brought up, Durham Giant ignores that person completely. He just goes off at someone else in the hope that it won't get brought up again because it basically puts him and his holier than thou stance under a very uncomfortable microscope.

Oh and Chris Joynt didn't slip, he dived to the ground to avoid the magic bullet that killed JFK. Because it had time travel abilities. Cos it's magic....

Baa Baa your like sheep. Following the dodgy money.

As there is no real discussion ongoing and has not been for a while we will revisit teams sponsorship the next time someone announces a new sponsorship deal.

I can't believe you locked the thread just because you lost the argument...
