W...wait.. those Whelan quotes are real? Don't believe it.

 

Yup, and everyone is patting him on the back for hiring Mackay! Like it's some grand ballsy move that should be applauded. All of a sudden it's poor Malky the victim.

 

It's not like the guy has been out for a year or anything. It's only been 3 months  :lol:

 

It's reality though. Can't help but feel the majority of people have these kinds of views really.

 

Nail on the head mate.

I think many on here need to realise that the opinions and views expressed on here, the language the majority on here use and the general 'liberal' views espoused on here are probably at odds with the real world/

I remember when i first moved up here to Scotland and my ex wife's family always, always referred to a Chinese or Cantonese takeaway with that term.

Spent years arguing the toss and as my kids have grown up have battled with them and their friends over the same issues.

 

Corner shop = the P word for instance.

 

I think we actually kid ourselves that we have moved on a lot form the 60s and 70s but in reality I'm not so sure it's just that the minority view has actually won over and has suppressed to some extent what the majority still think or express.

 

It's hard for me to judge as I'm not ethnically from a Chinese or Asian background. I have personally never taken offence at being called a Brit or called a 'daft Geordie'. Maybe some people wouldn't find that term offensive?

I think what never helps is the often patronising way that many, and I include myself here, have come across in trying to explain why such terms and behaviours are and should be unacceptable.

 

I watched the first episode of 'It was alright in the 1970s' the other night on Ch 4 and found myself more angry at the middle class condescension and patronising attitudes of the presenters and commentators than most of the clips shown to be honest.

Glad he said it. Fans can give so should be able to take

 

Completely disagree with this, like. A fan shouldn't be held to the same standard as a manager, one isn't representing the club and sport in a professional capacity.

Actually on second thoughts if a nurse said that to a patient that was abusing her she would be sacked I guess you do need to attain a professional stance when representing something. The fans who shout abuse direct to someone like this should also be punished though if that's what happens

Imagine if Pardew told one of our fans to fuck off and die

 

He does, he just says it through the medium of interpretive football.
