Superior Acuña Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Heard the lads against this are against poppies on the shirts because they hate PC madness. Keep 'politics' out of football. Anyway for those that are absewlewtly fewming you'll all be able to spot the bloke(s) with the flag. There you go... Please post that on Curry thread. "Aye a kna. Poppies on shirts and now this?! Keep it out of football" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 P.S. The overzealous reactions of the PC brigade on here get so tedious at times. Alreet people might not have your views but at least engage... I hate political correctness gone mad as much as anyone - I don't wanna teach the world to sing. But, you know, Justin Fashanu, Graeme Le Saux - it's just not on. Whereas, Hitzlsperger, this flag, you've gotta say "fair enough," yeah? Aye, lumping this in with political correctness is canny demeaning tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elma Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 edit: https://twitter.com/RealGeordieNUFC/status/880433093081001984 ffs Mr Real Geordie forgetting that lesbians absolutely love football. There are also many male gay teams around the country and a gay football supporters network with NUFC fans as members. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think I read Yorkie's post wrong like, I'd literally just woke up Heron's saying that this place is being millitant in shouting down any dissenting voices - hence 'the pc brigate' which is obviously an over the top description - and i thought Yorkie'd missed the point and assumed he'd meant the flag itself.

Wallsendmag Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The ironic thing about it all is that those who claim to be against abuse in football are the one's who dish the abuse and petty name calling out on here the most Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I look forward to the day when the 10000 gays at SJP are confident enough to stand up and hold hands together and belt out "I am what I am" or "Big Spender" though clearly that would be highly inappropriate with our owner. Would make such a refreshing change from "your support is fucking shit". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 If it helps kick homophobia out of football then it's a good idea. Politics is everywhere and everyone, I don't get this idea that football and politics shouldn't mix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Politics is everywhere and everyone, I don't get this idea that football and politics shouldn't mix. I would say it's because football if not sport was deemed somewhere you could go and forget about the cares of the world for 90mins of your life rather than the modern day culture of being constantly reminded of them before and during each game. Your viewpoint will generally differ depending on what generation your from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think it's a nice touch tbh. Don't think there's any viable reason to be against it: if A, you're homophobic - f*** off... if B, you think it's 'nowt to do with football' - you're basically missing the point... There is no point in it, that is the point. Everyone is welcome at SJP these days, black, white, gay, straight, male, female etc. We don't need to start holding flags up to prove it. Those who attend see it for themselves. A gay person is the same as me, all except for their sexual preference. They are welcome at St James' Park and I don't need to wave a flag around to show that to draw attention to them. if you think racsism/sexism/homophobia are dead in SJP you've been sitting in different bits to me like, yeah they keep it under wraps through fear but it's still there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
