Kinda Ironic isn't it?

For a start it wasn't racial, ethnic or religious. It also wasn't kicking downwards on any social hierarchy.

You still think less of someone for what/who they are, then make an assumption without knowing that person.

Saying an it person is boring is the same as saying a Jew loves money. It's the same idea. Just one is more socially acceptable.

My word!

You don't understand the historical and cultural reasons why racism or sectarianism may be different from other forms of stereotyping?

Are you annoyed with laws, criminal laws, laws of the FA etc. that sanction racism and not other stereotyping on your basis that "sure they're all the exact same"? You should send a very strongly worded letter to the men behind the IT Crowd, that Moss character will infuriate you.

Thats the funny thing about it. The media get away with racial/religious stereotyping all the time.
Plenty of movies tv shows where black people are portrayed as angry, jewish people as greedy, etc. Choose your stereotype and there is probably a show taking the mick out of it without all this outrage

Think the people who are saying its "PC sh*te" need to get over themselves. You don't have a right to say what you want, just because you expressed it as a joke. I understand that may take some getting over.

Maybe its time people relaxed a bit and stopped getting so bothered over jokes. The way things are going you wont be able to say anything with out being accused of something or other by the PC brigade.

Ah here ffs. How is saying IT people are boring the same as Jews love money. IT people being 'boring' didn't get them sent to the concentration camps and gas chambers, did it?

Look, Mario didn't intend any offence here. In fact the opposite, he was clearly hitting out at racism in his own way. But the cartoon was stupid to post for someone in his position and in the current Dave Whelan climate. If he gets fined, it's his own fault.

Forget PC. Its just basic decency. Don't use racial stereotypes and think you can hide behind a joke. Its cowardly. Mario didn't mean it that way; but there's enough Jeremy Clarkson's out there, who think they're being heroes by laughing at people less privileged than them.

Better stop saying the Irish like a drink or Cavan people are tight so and other common saying/jokes about people from different country's etc.

What footballers don't seen to get is Twitter, Instragram etc are the same as them giving interviews. Don't say on Twitter what you wouldn't say in an interview.

jasonb · 02-12-2014 11:27AM

Anyhoo...

How are people feeling about tonight's game? It says a lot about our season when we're hoping for 2 wins in a row. You gotta assume that Lambert will start again, hopefully Lucas will too in the 'DM' role and hopefully we can get a good result and slowly but surely start turning this season around a little, before it gets completely depressing...

Raif Severance · 02-12-2014 11:33AM

I just hope Gerrard isn't Starting. That's it.

BR can Accommodate him anyway he wants, as long as the Game is already in the Bag.

klose · 02-12-2014 11:35AM

Id like to see lallana get a game playing off the striker, not a fan of him stuck out left.

Daemonic · 02-12-2014 11:39AM

I think there's a risk to starting the exact same team as Saturday as it'll be the 3rd game in 7 days for a few players who've not had a lot of games so tired legs could make the pressing which worked well in the 2nd half on Saturday less effective.
Time for Brendan to work out how to rotate some players without changing the fundamentals of the team i.e. a DM who actually protects the back 4, tracking runners and helping a defender out by doubling up to win the ball back.
Winning the ball back quicker and even 10 yards further up the field gave us more impetuous on Saturday to press Stoke and at least fashion half chances.

Wonder will Borini get a game...

Isn't that the kid who some photographer went crazy on here about somebody posting his photo like a year or two ago?

Would be good to see the squad being put to use, his energy could be vital for us tonight. Unless there is some problem with him, it would be madness to leave him out again - I hope BR agrees.

Dont remember that episode, are you saying this photographer had a fit because someone else posted a photo of a child prodigy footballer on internet? On what grounds??

jasonb · 02-12-2014 12:15PM

Would like to see Lallana too, and unless Rodgers suddenly decides to play 2 strikers, I'd imagine Lambert will start as he's actually scoring goals, which means no game for Borini. But who knows really, he might decide to mix things up a bit, but probably only a little bit, as his quotes seem to suggest that the team are finally finding a bit of shape...

Lambert & Gerrard can't pay together as there is a lack of pace. Its one or the other & you would have to go with Lambert atm.

Thanks for that, ye cant beat a short entertaining thread like that.

I think I played football with that photographer a couple of times - he's a brave fella when snapping criminals around the courts. I recall he got a black eye from Andy Carroll a few years ago, Carroll was locked and split a kebab on a white suit and yer man got some great shots, then took a good shot for his troubles.
