Seriously, you are spoiling this forum for a lot of people. There have always been arguments etc but you take things to a new level, I hope the site owners read this because you really are bad for this site. Coming from you that raised a smile! As I have said to many people before if you cannot cope with viewpoints that don't match your own and only want to live in an echo chamber you have no obligation to either read my comments or reply to them. As many people here champion a right to unrestricted free speech in all circumstances it's a little ironic to read one of their own wanting to restrict it. The level of bs that frequently appears here deserves a counterweight. Not for you, but for those who lurk.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

Your words are futile, nobody is persuaded by them, if anything it hardens your opponent’s opinions due to your lack of empathy. In short, you are simply wasting your time. Please don’t bother replying Happy Christmas

With that kind of ridiculous reaction is it any wonder I was reluctant to try to explain to you why your analogy had no validity? If a theoretical situation has no practical application then it has no direct relationship to the issue. In fact it's theory actually supports the idea that the player's protests have no political implications. Something the PFA have confirmed today. You obviously cannot see beyond your own prejudices and into the real world beyond them. All you were doing was making waves to try to support those prejudices. I stopped being a 4-year-old, 72 years ago! A couple of apostrophe errors there. You’ve been marked down on that.

Please don’t bother replying Happy Christmas It's not me that champions a right to unrestricted free speech in all circumstances! I believe that such a right has to have a matching responsibility so restrictions are sometimes necessary in our collective best interests. Only anarchists believe in unfettered rights in all circumstances. I accept that you, and your little crew, aren't persuaded by my words. That though isn't the reason I post. If it were it would be a total waste of my time, which I can assure you I am not wasting. If you want to waste yours reading my words that's entirely your choice.

You've clearly not understood at all, you're arguing a point based on pure ignorance and a false interpretation of the original post. I'll leave it at that, I maintain my view you do nothing but challenge other people's points of view purely for attention which I am ironically giving you.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Its when it belongs to someone doesn’t have an apostrophe and (I didn’t put add any myself before and after the examples) Plus you still lack any sense of humour, C3PO. But you see yourself as so perfect I thought it was a bit amusing.

I am actually starting to feel sorry for him. I doubt he has much life apart from HOL, otherwise he wouldn’t spend his whole life on here.

I think the players should do something periodically - when they do it all the time I think it loses some effect. As to what, I have no idea; applaud each other? Link arms (when allowed)? Kick It Out only serves racism in football, however. Racial equality is a society issue, which needs awareness raised at a high level, a platform football can provide. Side note, I'd like to see London clubs do something to raise awareness on violent crime
