The main reason that I don't post on here very often any more is that comments can sometimes descend into abuse.
Thank you Highbury JD, Perry & Schwartz.
With regard to TeeCee:
.....Are you for real??
Yes.
As a consequence of the recession the far right represent a worrying minority?
See the way that the EDL have infiltrated the support of a number of clubs, notably in the Midlands
First of all, the world economy causes every race and colour to behave differently, you are actually quite racist yourself to suggest that it's just the far right that is worrying!
I don't follow your line of argument. Suarez allegedly made a racist comment. There are those who would applaud him for doing so. These tend to be of a far-right persuasion, hence the reference. I am not "quite racist" and find it somewhat offensive that you would suggest this with no evidence whatsoever.
The failed terrorism plots in several different countries over the past few months have all been planned by muslims, anything to say about that?
This does seem rather general and doesn't recognise coups and threats posed by Israeli, Christian and indeed, non-denominational groups.
Has Sunderland become a place of racists yet?
Not 'become'...just before Di Canio's appointment, there was an EDL demo there. Many Sunderland fans were angry about the appointment.
Jesus, what a pathetic country the UK has become.
Each to his own - I'm rather fond of it myself.
With regard to 'Jumpers...':
the original post is utter rubbish
Is that constructive criticism?
How the hell is signing Suarez going to "encourage any fans of The Arsenal with EDL sympathies to become more vocal."??
...because the EDL/BNP types will jump on any bandwagon and give it their political angle if possible. There will be those who, if we were to sign Suarez, who would turn that into a banner of pride. I used to sit two seats away from a bloke who was loudly racist; plenty of people around him "had a word", thankfully.
And what has "It's not that long since the Islamic centre in Muswell Hill was torched" got to do with Arsenal FC??
Muswell Hill being smack in the middle of North London and full of Gooners (and some Spurs admittedly.) A divisive act in a Multicultural part of The Arsenal territory, and whilst the vast majority of people were rightly massively pissed off about this, there will always be some who will find some justification...the same voices who would applaud someone with alleged racist tendencies.
The original poster should stick to watching Citizen Smith or ranting in the student union bar.
Why do you feel the need to attack the poster, rather than criticize the post? That is not constructive. Besides, I'm the wrong side of 40 and haven't seen 'Citizen Smith' since about 1981...
Back to TeeCee:
in my very poor understanding of groups like the EDL, they are patriotic to the extreme? They want english jobs for englishmen etc etc?
Well I'm not sure an olive skinned Uruguayan is exactly the sort of poster boy they would be looking for??
...oh but they do, TeeCee, they do - anyone 'non-white' tends to fit their bill. They like to twist situations to suit their own agenda
Thank you for responding, but can we keep responses to criticisms of opinions, rather than anything aimed at the poster? Schwartz Gooner's posts ought to set the tone.
