Dokko Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Ahahaha just seen the press conference (set up in a tiny little corner) with that daft bitch all the mackems hate on the sidelines nearly crying as the journo's keep asking him about the fascism in him and him keep answering when she's telling him not to. Didnt last long before he leaves. Awful club, everything about it is cheap and nasty, everything is now aligned perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The latest trope on RTG is threads like Subject: I have Jewish blood... Post: And I'm delighted to have Di Canio here! Subject: I'm an old school socialist... Post: And Di Canio is my new God, every time I think about him I weep tears of joy! Subject: My grandparents were tortured to death by Mussolini's thugs... Post: And I just gone and got an exact copy of Di Canio's tattoo on my face! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Let's take football aside. Anyone with his views that had made them so public and craved attention from it going into such a public/media side job as a Premier League manager would get questions asked about it.

BlueStar Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 To turn it around, that Greek lad who made a straight arm salute ONCE has been banned from international football for life and his career is bssucally over. Where's that level of condemnation for PDC? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Dicanio is not employed as a teacher of politics to young impressionable students. Would those who are against this appointment be similarley as vocal were he to have been more tacit in voicing his political persuasions in the past? or is it his beliefs, in principle, that are so objectionable that it precludes him from this post?...but not that of a "lesser" profile club? In a football management world laden with cliche`s & soundbites, where generic, insipid rubbish is carted out on a weekly basis to a lazy press, I wonder if we could look, what we`d find were we able to peer beneath the nappa of some of the frauds that have ran high profile clubs in the past.

BlueStar Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well no, aside from living in Minority Report there's no way of knowing if other managers or players secretly want to Nazi salute, racially abuse or stab to death, so we'll just have to judge people on their actions.

JB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 There is some absolute nonsense being spouted in this thread "football and politics are separate" FFS Though I disagree, I have no problem with those saying they should be separate but to ignore even something as close to home as the old firm is ridiculous.

BlueStar Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The fact he's been given so many chances to say he's not a fascist and refused (obviously not wanting to upset his old Lazio mates) makes the statement about it being 'insulting' to suggest he might be look pretty stupid.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 From what I've read his politics are a bit more complex than people seem to making out. He doesn't seem to be racist, it's never been a problem at any previous club and even his comments about Mussolini aren't as simple as saying "I love Mussolini, he was right about everything". Also heard James Richardson talking about the Italian culture and how they are more willing to see the good points of public figures even if they have also done, or been involved in, pretty bad things. Unlike the UK, where we are almost not allowed to take any time to discuss anyone who was on the wrong side of WW2. Anyway, if I was a Sunderland fan I would be more worried about the fact that he is a total mentalist than a fascist. (I do agree the Sunderland statement is silly though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The miners thing is really big considering where the stadium is built an why it carries its name, nevermind the history of the people, but rtg just aren't arsed about any of it, a tradition they've played up for years thrown away for this man. Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
