Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

[paulchapo]

Just watched some of Pep's conference and it was uncomfortable viewing. Kind of hung out to dry a bit and stumbling. Now Pep might be a genius and people not want to upset him at the club, but he needs a stronger man sitting alongside him stepping in now and then. Simon Stone.....what a horrible little c****!

Veering off topic a bit here, but wouldn’t that most likely result in your cock catching fire?

There’s only one way to find out! BM Christmas party!

What would happen if Mendy called Bernardo the milky bar kid

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

I'm old enough to remember 'The Black and White Minstrels Show' which was regular weekend viewing on the BBC. It was all pretty harmless stuff but the PC brigade got it banned because it might offend Afro-Caribbean people. Then the same thing happened to Robertson's Jams where they had to stop giving out their golliwog paper cut-outs that came with each jar. I don't know what these cut-outs were for, presumably they were saved up for freebie jams when enough were saved, but no matter what, the PC brigade got stuck in again and their minority objections were enough to get the golliwogs banned. Now we have a situation whereby the PC brigade can look at a chocolate product produced in another country and instead of being trying to ban it, they instead try to make a racism case out of someone tweeting it to a colleague. It's all too silly but I can see where they are coming from and instead of posting his joke on social media, Bernardo should have just kept it to a private text message between the two of them. At least now, Bernardo will realise what a sensitive lot we have in this country, plus a great many people who take great delight in calling out others for their failings rather than take delight in their achievements.

Anyone who goes on the political forum knows that I’m a right fucking liberal leftie twat who doesn’t get “offended” by things but doesn’t like prejudice of any kind.

This is utterly and totally pathetic. There’s no malice or racist intent in his tweet and Bernardo can hold his head up high. Instead these twats have now got a lovely lad booed by opposition fans when they should be applauding his work rate, honesty on the pitch and super, sporting personality. And utter brilliance.

I’ve never even seen him berate a ref for fucks sake. Total injustice and I bet you everyone at MCFC is rallying behind him behind the scenes.

You are absolutely right in what you say, but this I am afraid is what you get when the lefty doctrine is allowed to run wild in sport and society. As I have said before the racism card wavers have done nothing but actually increase racism and division. Infact I truly believe that many want to do exactly that in order to maintain their own relevance....and of course keep their snouts deep in the trough.

Perhaps its time for some of the black players to speak out in favour of Bernado and infact call for some common sense to be applied across the board regarding this issue. Problem is if they did there would be some prick then label them racist as well.

We are headed toward a situation where people will simply not speak or communicate with anyone of a different colour, religion, or sexuality for fear of dropping themselves in the shit. Ridiculous and totally counter productive.

You saved the paper cutouts and when you've got enough you got a badge, there was a whole series to collect. They of course fell victim to the march of Political correctness.

I think we should go into the transfer market and sign the spurs PR guy. He takes no shit. Get him to field all this crap that Pep gets from these biased journos with their own agendas.

These two posts sum up the whole thread

Well yes.. he’s actually been quite ignorant on the matter. No one is saying Bernardo isn’t a nice guy, because he quite obviously is. I don’t even think Pep has acknowledged why people might be offended.

Bravo. God loves a trier. Worst attempt at wumming on here for quite a while.

Similar to the episode of Father Ted where they told Father Jack only to say 'That'll be an ecumenical matter' when the bishop asked him any question, can't we just treat the media twats the same - every snide or loaded question is met with 'You'll have to ask our legal team that'. They'll soon get bored and bait someone else.

Either that or employ a spin doctor to wrap the media around their finger. We must be able to afford some PR bullshitter to make the press look silly?
