We've no one to blame but ourselves and our untimely slump in form but none the less, Fiddle sticks and shitehawks!

Very weird season.

Fairly amusing - and you would imagine accurate - piece on Daniel Levy:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/21/harry-redknapp-daniel-levy-spurs

Yet the suspicion is that he will keep everything which moves bolted down. Irresistible forces might swirl. Levy is the immovable object.

 

[Big Gunz]

"GARETH BALE has been offered a new £70,000-a-week deal to keep him at Spurs".

Yeah like that'll work!

Again, what "racism"? 'Paki' is racist of course, co-opting a self-identifier like 'ethnic Pakistani' is as mindless as an ageist comment. Again, hence the ' '. If inverted commas are good enough for the BBC on half their news headlines, it'll do for this purpose.

How is calling someone a 'Pakistani tosser' any different from calling someone a 'black bastard' you racist fucking shit?

On the 12th day of arsenal my true love sent to me,

12 bottles of water,

11 useless players,

10 points behind spurs,

9 players diving,

8 goals from man u,

7 years of nothing,

6 red cards a season,

5 swollen ring pieces,

4 English players,

3 touch line bans,

2 quiet grounds,

And a cunt called Thierry Henry!!!

Just seen this post.

LOLZZZZZ - that is all!

Go 'Arry! Innit. Would this be a bad time to mention Champions League places?

Racism bad enough to be deleted by the mods, but not even resulting in a temp ban for the author of the racism.

Edit: maybe I'm wrong. Maybe L_C has given RAF a proper apology. Anyone know?

 

[Corax]

Not as far as I know. I thought it was all a bit witchhunty tbh (and said so), but the stubborn absence of an apology makes me think I may have misjudged, sadly. Maybe there was one, and I just missed it.

 

[Citizen66]

Doubt it. Don't think RAF has returned.

Seems that LC is proud to have racially abused someone, then. Someone who'd genuinely made a mistake would surely apologise and make it clear that racial abuse is not ok?

There was no remorse. He made some excuses and justified it. Which is exactly what racists do. Why the fuck is he still allowed to post here?

Quite.

Strange for someone to say there was a "witchhunt" against LC. Should we all stand up against racist abuse? It's sad that more people didn't take this seriously. Most probably didn't know. I never look in Football, for example. Surely most on u75 are against racist abuse? Does LC do it on other threads, at other posters?

Not that I know of. He got off very lightly for this. Perhaps people know him irl and cut him some slack. But there's no avoiding the fact that an asian guy left the boards after being racially abused. I would have thought that warranted more than a mere ticking off.

Never really noticed the poster before. Strange to find out that he's someone that racially abuses people.

I take it very seriously. I have an annoying habit of trying to think well of people, and assumed it was a cack-handed choice of words that he had expressed badly, and/or it was a reference to some previous discussion. As I said above in the post you're referring to, it looks like I misjudged that unfortunately.

Yes, fair play to you for admitting that. Sorry if I was unfair to you. I'm just apoplectic with rage at the way Refused has been treated.

 

[Citizen66]

Me too. It would be disgusting on any forum; but more so on one that claims to be left leaning and populated by many from the anti-fascist movement.

He doesn't have a lot to say that isn't condescending or mocking, so it's possible that people like yourself just blank his crap.

The problem with calling Spurs supporters out on their racism is that they claim you're anti-Semitic, and threaten to grass you to Mossad, the scheming Yid swine!

I think the refusal to apologise stemmed from RAF trolling the Spurs thread for months calling everyone on it racists for not condemning Ledley King on the grounds of some tabloid story where he allegedly called a bouncer a Paki

That sounds like you're saying it's ok to racially abuse someone, if they've called people racists. Is that what you're saying. Do you even have any evidence that RAF was falsely calling anyone a racist?

If he's trolled the thread for months you're at liberty to call him a tosser for sure. But a pakistani tosser? No. Not ever. It's racial abuse.

tbh, RAF dished out a lot in the footy forum (abuse or "banter") which is why there was little sympathy for him.

So that means the racist abuse he got a bit less unacceptable?

Liverpool, the team and fans that keep giving.

Little sympathy from who exactly?

Ah, racist banter! And he dished it out himself? Obviously deserving of it then.

I said I have less sympathy for him, given he dishes out rape and paedo "banter" which I consider worse.
