    About Vidic.

    "He got raped by.....sorry, he got taken apart by Torres last year."

    It's in the Serbia - Ghana match thread


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭ItsAWindUp


    I think he said that Kazakhstan was an obscure place, or something like that.

    He said Torres raped Vidic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭Columbia


    He used the word "rape" in relation to Torres outplaying Vidic in the Premier League a couple of seasons ago.

    He did apologise almost immediately TBF


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Better than Adrian Chiles' "apology" last night anyway.

    what was his apology for?

    Indeed, it was a slip of the tongue and he did apologise. Bad form if anyone called and complained, none of us speak like we're in a television studio 24/7 and these things happen.

    ITV HD cutting to ads during a game and them ONCE AGAIN missing a goal.

    Bonkers posted it already, but for those that don't click links for one reason or another...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,443 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    So stupid that people had to apologise. I've often heard people use the expression 'he got raped'.

    There are many more meanings to the word rape than the sexual assault one.

    World is gone pc mad when a tv station apologises for a word thats in everyday use in sports conversation like 'owned' which means the same thing.

    5-1? :mad:

    It was only 4 matey! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    He only apologised because he doesn't want Vidic to find out about it. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,235 ✭✭✭Dave147


    Pathetic, who gives a **** really? Rape also means to plunder, or rob by force, its an ambiguous word and there were no sexual connotations implied by Souness.

    Buggered would have been different story...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,068 ✭✭✭Bodhisopha


    Should've said "effed in the A".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,537 ✭✭✭joseph brand


    Who takes the time to locate the phone number for RTE's complaints section, and then waits on hold to lodge complaint??
    Slip of the tongue, and an expression regularly used by fans when discussing matches.

    Some Fenerbahçe fans will be disappointed after their search only gives them that video....

    Souness would take Vidic.

    With relative ease.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 967 ✭✭✭Jigga


    Alan Pardew said similar on Match of the Day a few years ago and was condemned by overly sensitive Rape Crisis groups for trivialising sexual violence.



    Personally I think its ridiculous. Would Graeme or Alan have got the same reaction if they said "he murdered him there"?



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 68,401 Mod ✭✭✭✭Grid.


    Ambiguous word......don't see the problem!:rolleyes:

    The use of the word rape in this context is fine IMO,here is one definition of the word...
    an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside.

    The above is what happened to Vidic in that game.

    Some losers must have RTE complaints number on speedial ready to dial the second anyone makes a mistake. Sad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,591 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    I hope the apology will be the end of it. It certainly should be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,626 ✭✭✭Stargal


    He corrected himself immediately, RTE apologised, and really, it was a silly mistake rather than an offensive remark. It'll be ridiculous if this is even mentioned in any of the papers tomorow.

    I don't even think it was...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,629 ✭✭✭magma69


    I think "rape" was the most apt word to describe it myself!

    Non issue, it will be ridiculous if people get uppity over a slip of the tongue like that.

    Are you allowed say you "were robbed out there" anymore? Or is that trivialising the victims of muggings?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Raped is certainly more acceptable than pwned.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,117 ✭✭✭✭Leiva


    Fookin PC Brigade again I suspect :mad:

    Pack of hippos !

    I like to think I raped a few centre halfs in my day .

    Cant believe people would make a complaint to RTE - some peeps have to much time on their hands.

    True but anyone with a post count over 20 can't pass judgement on that. :D

    'Goldilocks' Torres

    Not anymore, he's streamline Torres for this tournament.

    Obviously means business - watch the goals go in by the bucketload now. The fact he got a proper haircut is the sole reason I put a significant sum (for me) on him to nab the golden boot:D


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,731 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Everyone knows Vidic is the metallic Serbian rapist.
