Don't worry about my signature. I don't care enough about the matter to even argue with you or get involved at all. Didn't you have a sig recently about killing Mexicans with the "KILL" capitalized and in bold? I didn't worry about that sig. Don't bother worrying about mine.
No, I was celebrating the "mexican killers" of boxing- an expression invented not by me, not used first by me, and which is still in use and will be in use in the future. Suarez on the other hand, is a Racist only according to gutter press merchants and men of local and limited import.
Yup (again). I disagree with a good 2/3 you say beyond football, but you'd make for a blogger, with the inclination.
This 'sudaca' thing is new to me and, so far as I can see, the only person to mention it is that Tim Vickeryfella who talks shit on talksport. He's supposed to be their south American expert but had to admit on air that he hadn't heard of Straqularsi when everton loaned him (despite him beng top scorer in the Argentinian top division). But that's bye the bye. To me, you don't need intent to make a racist comment. If I were in Spain and inadvertently said something deemed offensive and racist. I'd hold my hands up, apologise, and explain that I had no idea of the effect the word had there. What I wouldn't do, is deny saying anything, then say others were saying it, then say well it's ok back home. To me, that's as arrogant as what you accuse the English of. A I've said all along, ban both of them. As you've said, the FA were always going to be harsh on any racism case in the current climes.
As for racism, racism stems from a patent and knowingly-held opinion that ones own ethnic group or race is superior to the next or superior to another. Thats racism. As for offensive, I can refuse to wash for three days. Then get on the bus and sit down beside some honeys. Thats offensive. Racism does not stem from the use of a word alone. Ron Atkinson called that guy a "nagger" but Ron Atkinson gave more black people a break in football than the people who ultimately convicted him of being a racist. Its Communist Russia. People are being passed off as counter-revolutionaries, wreckers, petty-bourgeois and saboteurs at a moments notice by "committees" and "councils" and "panels". We don't send them to Siberia anymore we just pillory them in pamphlets. Concepts such as Racism are being taken up and sliced thinner than than thin, into a million little categories, so we can get more and more people into them. Did Gordon Taylor, Clark Carlisle, Les Ferdinand, or any of these other self-appointed Witchfinder Generals ever take time to pull up on the street and challenge the hate-mongers who could be found around Finsbury Park Mosque or Whitechurch? Or the "Bomb Denmark" brigade? Nope. Everyone is looking for the soft-score. "I'm an anti-Racist, I'm a Human Rights Campaigner." How? Via a stitch up on national radio? I can guarantee that England go to Euro 2012 and get fucked on, in one way shape or form. The World is watching.
Okay, and thanks- but I wouldn't be any good as a blogger. I don't lead, I respond. Its never the situation itself that upsets me, per se. For instance, I could never blog on Football itself. I could never chronicle results and tactics and performances because I'd get bored. It would be a verbose exercise in stats and figures. I respond to the spin other people put on things. I don't mind dogshit. A dog has to shit. But I do mind stepping in it. Or having to step around it because somebody didn't pick it up. Or being told that it smells sweet and that to think otherwise renders me an outspoken canine fecal heretic. Thats what I mind. Don't tell me who is or is not a bad man. Bad people are not defined by company men, officials, "party members". Nobody ever wants to fight the SS. Why bother when you can get the same accolades for taking on little Luis Suarez via the mechanized infantry of some tabloid newspapers and the heavy artillery of Sky news? Nobody wants to go to Western China to fight the Chinese Government on the matter of beating up Chinese Muslims. But everybody wants to throw stones at the Israeli Embassy or walk around wearing a Palestinian scarf. Fuck that.
I don't know if it was you or Slice who made a point about Spurs winning the league, you/him were worried I would "shoot you down" :: I meant to address it at the time, I felt that if Harry had the bottle to consolidate and punch on through the gap that was appearing in the lines of the top of English football, that I would have to give him Kudos. However right when they had a big big chance before the Citeh vs Chelsea game, they lost to Stoke and when Chelsea visited tonight off the back of a pretty interesting week {Terry} they only managed a draw. That's why I don't rate Spurs to win the League, not at all. I just think they lack the wherewithal to punch on through and establish themselves. In a way its mental, psychological, like Ireland vs Wales in the Rugby, its a duality, they are happy to be top 4, and don't really believe they can win the league anyways. Its a charade in any case, its sort of that Harry revels in the "great job" he is doing and everyone plays along, with everyone knowing there is nothing really doing. They beat Liverpool, 9 vs 11, and lost to United and Citeh, heavily, drew with Chelsea, barely got past Arsenal. That's telling.
I laughed and laughed and laughed. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XQAydiz3inA?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XQAydiz3inA?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object> <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bNWRdu77ADs?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bNWRdu77ADs?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>
I'd also like to wish you all a merry christmas, having a few glasses of chardonnayyyyy my landlord brought over as a gift, then stumbling the ten minute walk to my folks before heading out for the evening. Hope you all have a great time.
Tony Fernandes For all QPR fans we have no intention to sell adel. He's going to play an important part in the future of QPR. He's played real well. We need a good squad. :bears: Merry christmas one and all
THE DAILY CHAV: "Taraabt Loaned Out By QPR" Happy Christmas to you too. See you back in here on St Stephens day for open footballing warfare. I wonder who will have been accused of what by then. :bs: ::
Oh, you stopped believing for a lot longer than that. Celtic MUST WIN this Wednesday. I'm sure Ally will crumble under the pressure.
I really didn't.:Thumbs: May Santa rain fire on Bridgeton & Larkhall in the night, Holy night. :cheer:
bad to worse for Liverpool and Adam. Offal sites full of the same "bash them, they are bottom" bullshit. :shit:
Ah yes, you can only put your faith in Bolton so many times. I knew I was pushing it by expecting them to get something out of two games in a row. :shit:
I've said it before, but it deserves to be said again. Valencia really is one of the best players in the league. What I wouldnt do to have someone of his quality at Arsenal feeding RVP. With Pool and Chelsea drawing its a good day for an Arsenal fan. Now just have to capitalise tomorrow.
Its never really a good day to be an Arsenal or Liverpool fan. You know it as well as I do. Wenger has a rare opportunity this year- with United out of the CL, he has a chance to make some noise in their absence, I hope he takes it and milks it.
