DJ_NUFC Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 https://twitter.com/MTVNews/status/810960588973035520 Something for Shelvey to think about perhaps? Do a little better in 2017. Please don't post this SJW garbage in here. It's being panned by anyone with a brain on social media, and rightly so. MTV needs to dissolve into the irrelevance it has been since the 1990s.

DJ_NUFC Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 If anything the last few years on social media and 4chan trolls have taught us, it's incredibly easy to spread fake news. If the person(s) on this board went on and on about this whole cous cous nonce thing without immediately coming clean that it was a made up joke, you can't have multiple posts about it from multiple users and then act all "lulz" when some people actually believe it. It's a childish, c*** move, and belongs on 4/8chan, not on N-O. I was told about the cous cous nonce thing in good faith, and the person who told me has some pretty decent sources and is still adamant that's what was said. Oh okay, that's different then. And I definitely give it more credibility now that you've actually mentioned how it came about. So then why are some members on here acting as if it's one big forum joke and everyone who believed it is an idiot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Have we any reliable source for what the FA asserts he has said? If not speculation is ridiculous. If a sunderland player had the same happen everyone would be calling him a racist twat. As a fan I am willing to extend to him the benefit of the doubt if he is appealing and if he does have to serve it, after he's served his suspension and hope none of this shit happens again. I won't lie I don't have Shelvey down as the smartest in the world would not surprise me if he did it and I'd rather we didn't play any racists, but since there is so much doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Given-up on trying to catch-up on this thread a few pages back, but in case it is at risk of fizzling-out (God-forbid...) is calling somebody a 'skin-colour/ethnicity 'expletive, any worse than calling somebody a 'baldy/ginger/working-class/posh/lanky/nationally' expletive?

TK-421 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Someone rang Totalsport earlier and said Shelvey (and any footballer who abuses/racially abuses another player) should be banned from football for life, and be hit with a much bigger fine. This caller said he didn't follow football, and had never been to a match. Guessing he was a mackem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Ugh, will be a miss, really contributes to what makes us tick. I think we'll be absolutely fine without him. 4 wins / one draw. Will he get his place back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I might have took a knock to the head like, but I think I've just read someone ask whether being called 'lanky' is as bad as racism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I thought the mail would have been on board with Shelvey tbh. It's obviously indefensible like and I'm pretty amazed he's only got 5 games. Hopefully he comes back better for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I was brought up using that expression, and didn't even consider its meaning until my early teens, which is horrible when you think about it. No excuse for it as an adult, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
