1976_Child Posted 10 July, 2009 Share Posted 10 July, 2009 (edited) I have just returned from my local here in Brighton, where I consumed many a pint (in celebration of Saint Markus) with my Albion friends - who were jealous, extremely jealous, nay even suicidaly jealous - when what should walk in?? A fat lard-ass wearing a Skate shirt. I had to get a hold of my horses, 'cause I was ready to go and ask him how his bunch were doing - you know, what with all the 90 Million of debt, rag-head-buyer getting cold feet, **** urine-soaked stadium, VAT bill unpaid and no chance of staying in the Prem season after next.... ... I was just itching to let him know that we have a stadium worthy of an England international, we had bigger turnstile numbers in the championship than they did in the prem; they couldn’t even fill fratton in the prem! We have a bigger – much bigger – fan base, we have better training facilities and we have a better academy. Oh, and I am sure there is something else too? Mmmm? What can it be now? Gosh, I am going senile…. Ah Ha! Yes! That is it! Our club’s 124 year history is now safe in the hands of a proven business man, a man worth £2.5 billion, and a man who is dedicated to our club.. and, lest I forget, we have not a single solitary penny of debt at all! We – through our Magnificent Saviour – own our own stadium outright – which has physical foundations in place to increase the capacity-, and our own training ground and our own academy!! But, as itching as I was to jump off my barstool and let him know that the Mighty Saints were back I couldn’t. After all, we all know that we are a cut above them don’t we? The last few years were an aberration and there is nothing to be gained in kicking a lowly creature in the guts. So I just sat upon my stool and sipped my beer, with pride in my heart, and looked at his daft blue shirt and gave thanks to the good Lord that I was born a Saint! Up the Saints!

No, I will excuse those about to attend or play football. You are forgiven. I will not excuse those watching a match on the telly in the pub or those who consider a football shirt to be acceptable casual / leisure wear.

And racial stereotype is miles away from being racist. It is the taking of a culture and making flipant of it. A country mile and a yard away from saying that "he be of jewish origin, gas him" or "because he can withold a pen in his curly hair, whilst shaking his head, he is a negro, enslave him."... making fun of someone's culture is not racism.

Try shouting it at a football match and I am sure the police would agree too. "United are a bunch of w*nkers" .. "The Skates..." ... (work it out) ... Is it a racist remark? Do you really think so? Re-read my posts. Racism is not something to be taken lightly...Racism is not something for comfortable people to pretend to be vigilant against. Real, nasty, horrid racism of the South African aparteid, pre-civil rights USA, 30's Germany, indeed perhaps even China today (with the western Muslim tribes). To try and find racism from rude reference to head gear worn by some is to be, frankly, up one's own ass. All IMHO of course... (by the way, Monty Panesar - a true Englishman - and I hope a national hero in these Ashes, is none the less a rag head - he wears a turban on his head. I am a rude bugger for saying it, but I bet you an ounce of sugar that if you ask him which part of that sentence he cares about, he would be pleased to be referred to as a 'true Englishman' and no doubt would call me a rude c*nt for marking him out for his turban. But I doubt that he would hound me into court for 'racism') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
