Aye, I've seen the picture. Seems pretty harmless to me. :dontknow:

 

It is and i think it's nothing to worry about imo but in this climate, the PC brigade go mental. That shit has been allowed to run riot in the last few years. Over sensitive self appointed policemen.

 

Shame but that's the reality of the today.

Like people have said, it's obviously not serious. But people could (and some probably will) react badly to it and think he's being racist. It's stupid to invite that sort of controversy, and also a bit insensitive considering all the work some people do to 'kick it out'. Not to mention Bernard, who works for the club. It's just really stupid.

Who the f*** would choose Steven Taylor as a brand ambassador. :lol:

 

He probably paid them to let him be their brand ambassador.

 

His twitter post is fucking stupid to be in a public space. If he wanted to make that joke, keep it private amongst the lads - text message or something.

Fuck off man bimpy :lol:

 

I seriously doubt there was any malice on Taylor's part but I wouldn't say "oh, it's nothing to worry about". Okay, it was probably a private joke but on a public forum, without any context it is simply Steven Taylor taking the piss out of black people. And some of our fans were fucking patting him on the back with their inane "omg Stevie #lad epic #banter" type responses, which does nowt for our reputation either.

 

He really needs to engage his brain (if he has one).

Erm that's what i said like. I think it's nothing to worry about.  But you simply cant do that these days because of over reactions to things like that. Your right it has to be in context.

 

I played for a football team that was over 50% Zimbabwean, we turned up for a game on a very hot day and our kit clashed with the oppos. One of our team said we could play skins.

 

I said we cant as we would be in different kits.......just a joke but you could imagine someone nowadays saying it was racist.......unfortunately while it's obviously right to stop racism, it has gone too far the other way.

He's an idiot. If you had a public job, you wouldn't post that type of banter on Twitter or FB. You would keep it Whatsapp or whatever.

 

He's making jokes about their blackness and given Papiss some comic lips. IMO he deserves whatever criticism he receives.

 

Personal "bants" is just that but when it's public it becomes an issue. He's a moron.

I disagree. People still get racially abused, people still get beaten up and even killed because of their skin colour.

 

You said it's nowt to worry about because people are too PC, I'm saying the complete opposite. It is something to worry about and being an absolute dolt is nee excuse.

Exactly, the only reason why I'm not totally offended is that 1. I know he's a complete idiot 2. I've assumed they are friends and that's how they banter.

 

But as a standalone picture, it's pretty fucking racist.
