Benny McCarthy

just logged on and find it quite disgusting your comparing me calling someone gay, a faggot, queer or whatever to calling someone a ......, if that was an attempt to be ironic or if it was an attempt to be funny it certainly has gone the wrong way.

Why? Bigotry is still bigotry, after all.

he is an absolute **** of the highest order what the fuck was his celebration all about it certainly got me riled, speaks like a faggot and acts like one.
disgusting homo-phobic comment you should be banned for this post
Get a grip Uwe, unless you're trying to be sarcastic. You'll ignore the post where someone mentions the word n****r, but kick off cos someone was called a faggot???
No guesses which word I find most offensive.

I used the n-word. I think Uwe understood that I was being ironic.

That's right pal, use me as your "get out of jail free card"
Like I said calling somebody a faggot is just as hateful to a gay person as being called a ****** is to a black person.
 
Homophobism is just as bad as racism, the difference is one is considered socially unacceptable, the other generally isn't (hopefully changing).

Of course many of the people who describe this as 'PC gone mad' or whatever, completely fail to understand why these things should be unacceptable, and tailor their behaviour to what they think is socially expected of them (until they get pissed), rather than actually thinking about it themselves.
 
Fair do's to McCarthy
He missed a great chance and was getting grief off City fans behind the net.
He pointed to the goal and made an oblong shape with his hands as if saying thats where the balls going next.
and he was as good as his word, so fair play to him I say.
I remember his 2 headed goals when he put the rags out of the chumpions league so he was a good egg for me.

I totally agree no need for shit like this on the forum!

Getting back to the thread, yes it pissed me off, and its probably the worst opposition celebration Ive seen in a while, but fuck it, I was sat in Row 4, 2 seats from the away fans to the left of our goal and took shit all day so Robinho's goal was a right little treat for me to ram it right down their throats at the end of the game, thats what football all about!

Why do you need to use the 'N***ER word 3 times? I'd say you are getting great satisfaction from this. You say your not a racist, Im not so sure!

Well done, you have proved you can count up to three.
Your grammar is still appalling though.
You being allowed to air your racist views on here is appalling.
 
"Anything that is construed as being racist or libellous will be deleted and you will be banned."

Nice to see you're all following the Bluemoon Code of Conduct.
 
Although he should have probably edited the N word out anyone with half a brain cell could see he was using it to make a point and not actually using it in the manor in which you lot have taken it.

Fuck me, theres some tit sounding off about 'faggots' etc, someone slaps him down and uses the N word to make a point and all of a sudden he's in the wrong and not the original gay lad who was trying to act all straight by using the word 'faggot'.

I'm thinking of setting up a sub forum for us intelligent posters, so far theres not many members.

There's a clue in that quote. As TMQ points out, the context in which he was using it was pretty obvious.
 
I agree yeseye. Worse still, why haven't the mods pulled it? Sorry Ric and De Niro, but I'm trying my best to follow this thread, but as someone pointed out, the offending word in question has been used excessively and gratuitously.

If this thread needed pulling it would be more apt to pull it due to the homophobia on display.
 
Okay, this is the last post I will make in this thread so anyone else who has a problem understanding where I am coming from or wants to carry on the argument is more than welcome to pm me.
First of all I am not a racist and probably should have censored my initial response.
My whole point in using such strong language was to illustrate in an ironic way how appalled I was by the use of the word faggot.
Sorry if this caused any offence or was over the head of some on here.
I stand by my statement that the word Faggot is just as hateful and hurtful to a gay person as the word ****** is to a black person. They are words used only to offend and hurt when aimed at any individual.
I didn't use my offensive word directed at Benny McCarthy or anyone else on here and geniunely apologise to anyone who took offence, especially any City fans of colour.

Post taken as read , HB. Fully support you.

TBH some of the responses need to be generously construed as ignorant and less generously as disingenuous.
