Did you buy them from Mr. Zucchini Head?

maybe he borrowed them from seb?

for once I wish tomorrow was Leeds away, they are a team in trouble (watch that come back and bit me on the backside)

Just seen that Watkin and Ward are out for Leeds (Ward for some time).

Do a good defensive job on their new centre, Hurrell and let Ferris be the usual penalty machine and we should be in with a decent shout with this one.

Almost a year since I tipped Hull at the KCOM to end an 11 game losing run against Leeds. Today I confidently tip a repeat win.

I am not so sure, yes Leeds are depleted and seem to be struggling, but they are our bogey side. I hope you are right though.

I am going to attempt to clear up what I was trying to say when I asked if casual racism had been used.

Is it racist to compare a black player with another black player, no obviously not, however if skin colour is the reason the two players have been compared, then yes it is racist.

Hull’s Ratu Naulago been compared to Mark Calderwood seems odd to me, granted I have only seen him on highlights, but other than playing wing I didn’t see much in common.

I am not saying this is unique to Hull, recently a young Leeds player Muizzi Mustapha has been compared to ex players Darren Flearly and Anthony Farrell. I have challenged Leeds fans on this as I believe the reason they are been compared is skin colour rather than playing style. I would say young Mustapha direct hard runs are more like Barrie McDermott, yet I have heard nobody compare the two.

I hope this post does not warrant deleting/a warning/ban, I am just trying to clear my previous point up.

We are getting drastically off topic here but you have just summed up exactly what annoys me about the current use of the word racism, and the people who love to be offended by anything.

Racism is seeing people of a different colour as second class citizens, treating them differently because of their race. There is appalling racism and bigotry that still goes on the world, but it gets lost amongst trivial rubbish like this, or by Amber Rudd referring to someone as coloured rather than black. These things aren't racist and they just undermine the genuine persecution that people actually do have to endure.

so if I were to say x reminds me of a young y when he first started playing, am I ageist?

Hang on, "young Mustapha direct hard runs are more like Barrie McDermott" so, you are ageist.

It’s a damned good job that hot weathers gone or you would have melted. Snowflakist is becoming the new racist. I’ve got a historical charge of picking my nose in public from when I was 5 years old, facing 2 years in prison or permanent expulsion from the public. Hope it’s the latter.

Or perhaps the original poster was linking Calderwood to Naulago, due to both having Rugby union backgrounds, both being wingers, with a bit of speed. As far as I am aware as an old codger, I’ve never known anyone who cares what colour creed or religion our players are, your link to racism was was unnecessary, and at best misguided. “Sorry seems to be the hardest word”

Uncle Gary chose not to run a reserve team......

But, taking the positive, his back pedalling on (and many other) threads means the butter is churned and the mangles has been in overdrive.
