not really a topic for winding up…. Like I said anyway, do what you like with the thread, I’m out

yes, and I’m not here to ‘go after anybody’, I believe both feel similar to most on here, I’m simply (or possibly not so simply) saying that asking to get rid of a discussion on a pertinent topic is akin to ignoring the current issue, especially as it’s doing no harm where it is. Anyway, I’m...

usskyblue - “this is why I prefer to steer clear of off topic boards” mmttww - “close thread, leave the non football bunfight to where you normally have it” black and white, both times, I don’t want to see this so can you move it somewhere I don’t have to - that’s what it says to me in “black...

I meant before you made your first comment, which is quite clearly why I mentioned you in my comment re a blind eye - I wasn’t fishing I was pointing out facts. Nice try though

if you say so

Unfortunately the events of the last week have blurred the boundaries again between the two - so like it or not the topic is very much football related at the minute. You’re right though, it didn’t start as a football related post, it has however evolved. I’d also point out, despite having the...

there’s no debate, unless you can think of an argument in the alternative? if you don’t want to contribute you could just not say anything, although still not great, but to actively try and get rid of the thread?

I’d beg to differ, but ok if you say so

a) you started the thread, and b) would you not agree that a thread now talking about racism is completely ‘on’ topic given what has happened over the last week? that’s two now shying away from the topic rather than facing up to it and calling it out….and that’s the problem - let’s bump the...

West Brom v Wolves stopped on 80 something minutes because of two separate incidents in the crowd - looks like Wolves fans sitting in the WBA end and celebrating their goal. It’s taken about ten minutes so far and police still haven’t been able to get it under control, players off pitch and a...

why bring in a player with the aim of moving Wright into a position where he’s been far less effective? His move out to the left has been a revelation, moving him back into the middle would be a mistake in my opinion

depends on your definition of ‘ok’…. why close the thread, get rid of a conversation about an important and very relevant topic? If you don’t want to contribute then don’t, and if it makes you feel uncomfortable then ignore it, but no need to stop others talking about it if they want to

1) racism has been discussed, debated and dealt with intellectually in so far as there are laws in place, constantly evolving laws, to deal with it - talking about the subject is one thing but that discussion categorically should not involve actually being racist - but good try though! 2) I’m...

why is it for any poster on here to explain why a post is or isn’t, to use your terminology, ‘prosecutable’…? you seem 100% certain the post hasn’t broken the law, yet ultimately it isn’t your decision is it? which law are you referring to just out of interest?

shall we send the post to the police then to let them decide what to do? probably a better idea rather than throwing around opinions as to what constitutes breaking the law and what the CPS may or may not consider chargeable? also, in response to an earlier post of yours and this one too...

so if you heard someone making racist slurs you’d simply carry on with your day and leave them be? free speech is one thing, but allowing people to make racist or aggravating comments which are ILLEGAL is a completely different matter. there may be a point in your post somewhere but you lost...

…..already?

hmm…..explains this reaction too I assume 😔

even those simply playing along on the thread are as much to blame for the issues we currently have

this is appalling…
