funny, then, that no-one has picked me up for 'petulant teenager' or 'spoilt child'. Negative stereotypes.

don't you see a difference between saying 'petulant teenager' and 'spoilt child' compared with 'useless old tosser' , the first 2 are ways of behaviour that can be associated with the age groups whereas 'useless old tosser' has an implication that the uselessness is directly caused by the age. What LC said was out of order , I'm not denying that and I agree with your assessment of it. Just because you don't find useless old tosser to be offensive doesn't mean everybody finds it inoffensive, which is the point I'm making, the racist insult is jumped upon but the ageist ones aren't, should age related insults be more tolerated than racist ones.

If I was to have said the same thing to Refused not knowing his ethnic origin but basing his behaviour on the perceived behaviour of a racial group then it would still be racist as I'm placing a negative stereotype onto that group, so why is it a different situation with age?

but in the context of this thread the difference between that and a direct, personal, insult based on someones ethnic origin is stark, and reflects very badly on him. His refusal to apologise when told how offensive he's been is shameful.

ok you have a point here and I do think there is a difference between what Refused said and what LC said but the desire to denounce racism shouldn't overshadow ageism which is what I'm trying to get across.

Swindler's plane was faulty so he's not going to make it to the game tonight.

Allied invasion of Klanfield. T-43 and counting.

 

[xes]

tough game so far, but we've been pretty strong. A fair few silly mistakes and give aways, looking forward to the second half, all be it nervously.

 

[London_Calling]

That's an odd subs bench - did they hold a raffle or something?

• 23 Cudicini
• 33 Nelsen
• 36 Khumalo
• 25 Rose
• 45 Luongo
• 15 Saha
• 53 Lancaster

Liverpool seem to cock it up at the crucial moment thankfully, cat was the best bit so far.

 

[big eejit]

I hear 'Arry's cat turned up at Anfield looking for his share of the loot.

 

[Corax]

It's not had my full concentration as I was on the phone, but what I saw looked like a good game so far?

 

[Deareg]

Spurs fans giving Suarez some stick.

 

[London_Calling]

God, we're missing 'arry...

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Tiddles 47 not much of a replacement.

 

[London_Calling]

82': Statistically speaking, we should win from here...

 

[xes]

well, we defended well. 1 point well earnt.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

I like the way that it's so disappointing now to go to Anfield and only come away with a point.

 

[London_Calling]

Happy to take a point up there without the manager.

Well, if we beat Newcastle on Saturday the gap to 5th will be at least 10 points again (with 13 games to go). If.

 

[chieftain]

Really well defended, a point well earned.

Thought that was a cracking match tbh.

I know King's the king and all that, and Daws is made of lion - but I felt we really missed Kaboul in some ways tonight. The way he joins the attack can often be just one too many for the oppo to deal with.

Not saying it would have been the wrong selection even if he was fit. I want to play a 5-4-2 with all three at the back really.

 

[deadringer]

first half loved how we passed the ball around, looked confident on it and in control. 2nd half that seemed to go to pot a bit, giving it away needlessly, but still, can't complain about coming away with a point i guess.

I know you don;t mean either of the Spuds but it's a strange choice of picture though. Why is he blurred out in the background?

Parker gives as good as he gets.

Nah, just here to call LC a cunt again. I'm a big fan of Parker, how dare you call him a yard dog?

The cunt was on the Liverpool thread tonight. Obviously didn't slag off Suarez.

Impressive argument: Name calling strangers on the Internet for the win.
