Mate, that simply isn't an excuse. Not in the BBC's opinion (see Ross/Brand) and not in mine! As I stated earlier, I'm sure Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson weren't really racist. It's still not deemed suitable for broadcast! We're not talking about some bloke down the pub or a numpty on an internet forum. This is a professional (in one sense of the word only) broadcaster who is, and should be, subject to stricter guidelines of what is suitable or acceptable.

To Ellie. No I have never secretly smiled at a player's injury. Ever. It's interesting that the Wakefield fans who have posted on Amos' injury and,who themselves stood to benefit, have, to a man, not gloated or delighted in it either. They have had more class than this idiot.

Let me ask you a question. If some Warrington troll had come on this board and gloated about Amos' injury would you have told him to grow up and bugger off to his own board or thought "aw, there's no malice in it". In fact, don't bother answering as I already know.

just getting fed up of this crappy society were everyone's always 'offended'

people need to grow a set and use of bit of the completely misnamed 'common' sense

If that offends you, i don't care.

Think what you like, i do, it's why i said what i said

If you don't like it then do one!

i will but i just got my fifty pence worth in

You reckon??? Your opinion love is worthless.

I do think what I like. That's exactly the point. Some day you'll have enough brains to work out that you having an opinion about someone else having an opinion and complaining about them complaining is irony of the highest level. Listen mate, this is nothing to do with common sense (something you've demonstrated far better than I ever could that you have precious little of). This is all to do with standards in society. I seem to remember you being fed up about people over-reacting to crowd violence creeping into the game too. Says it all about your personal standards really doesn't it? Forgive me if I don't use your definition of what's acceptable as my guide. OK?

find it, no please do.

On the thread after the game at your place regarding the 'Shirt burning attack' and the 'attack outside the pub'. CBA digging it out.

Ignoring the rest of the post though are we? Can'tthinkofadecentreplytastic. No surprises really. Next time I'll spell something wrong then you an pick up on that. Can't have you actually responding to the points made can we?

i deplore violence so i don't know where you got that from, i think you are mistaking me for someone else, i only retaliated to the 'all wire fans are scum'

Really? But aren't you the poster who just postedjust getting fed up of this crappy society were everyone's always 'offended'

Common sense, rival speccy jokes about leg break (which i said was in bad taste btw) anyone with half a brain knows he isn't being serious
but

He's a rival speccy "how dare he joke" lets try to get him the sack. Pathetic !

Ahh well he wasn't saying it as a rival speccy, he was saying it as a BBC journalist.

I can just imagine your complete complacency if Phil Clarke had said it when Lee Briers got injured.

Good God, surely you're not that slow, are you?! Do you really need it pointing out that you were 'offended' by the scum comments and felt an obligation to 'complain' (on this very board, no less!). Then you come on the very same board and post the 'need to grow a pair' post when someone else is offended by something and feel obliged to complain about it.

So to summarise. You're sick of people who get offended (unless it's you), think they shouldn't complain (unless it's you) and should let people say what they want (unless it's not you). Ok we get it. Now write a hundred times on the board:

"I will look up the definition of 'double standards' and read it until I understand the concept."

I think I'll leave this conversation there, if you don't mind. I have better things to do with my time. You're welcome to join another debate when you've digested your own stupidity on this thread and learned from it.
