Smalling the terrorist

Not the most offensive thing in the world, but its not in the best taste really. A member of joe public doing it isnt so bad, but this guy is in the public eye and should really be setting a better example. I'm sure a parent of someone in the military killed by a suicide bomber isnt too happy at it. Although it is only a play on words

I'm more offended that he's actually played for England.

Man Utd’s Chris Smalling criticised for attending fancy dress party as ‘centre back’
Manchester United’s Chris Smalling has been criticised by supporters groups for attending a Christmas fancy dress party dressed as a competent centre-back.
The player was photographed in a full Manchester United strip with a ball at his feet as if this was something he was perfectly capable of doing.
Fans have reacted angrily to the leaked photos, with one telling us, “How he has the audacity to go around dressing up like a centre-half I have no idea.”
“Imagine the mental anguish this will cause genuine Manchester United fans when they see him dressed up like he’s about to go onto the pitch and represent their team.”
“I’m sure he thought it was funny at the time, but let me assure you, no fan finds the thought of him defending their goal as ‘funny’.”
“The worst part is he seems to be enjoying it in the photos. Like he somehow believes that he belongs in the kit?”
Chris Smalling costume
Though Smalling himself has remained silent on the matter, his agent apologised, saying “Chris recognises that what he did was wrong, and that those pictures could strike further fear into the hearts of Manchester United fans already reeling from such a disastrous start to the season.”
“But these photos were taken in the privacy of his own home and were never meant to be seen by fans of the club.”
“I’m sure plenty of fans out there have dressed up as a footballer on occasion? Well really that’s all Chris Smalling is guilty of.”
“Well, that and his on-pitch performances.”

As much as I dislike the Rags the lad was at a private fancy dress party, for me he could wear whatever he wanted to.
I'm not offended, but then I haven't lost friends/family to a suicide bomber.
I'm more offended by The Scum newspaper trying to pull the moral high ground.... they are the real vermin.

I bet if the GPC was still the manager at the swamp then this story would have never seen the light of day.
And if it did then the newspaper in question would not be reporting on any games from there for the forseeable future.
Its little things like this that will hurt and sting the rags. In the GPC era they were untouchable. Now they are mere mortals.
Getting used to that will be a difficult transition. It must be a very strange feeling...
