They, as in not me i.e. anyone What did you think I meant, or are you trying to insinuate I meant a certain colour or Race? If so get a bloody life! Take a look a the dictionary and look what they means, I am sure it will say something like "People in general" god posts like this really do my headd in, PC to the worst degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric04 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Neither am I but he also tweeted this... UEFA Agent @AgentUEFA1h Neil Kilkenny is expected to complete a move to Yeovil #YTFC #BristolCity I never believe any of those accounts claiming to be agents.

shaner89 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I never believe any of those accounts claiming to be agents. Neither do I, I only looked at the account due to the previous person mentioning his account, and noticed the Kilkenny thing. Tbh, I think city fans are 50/50 on Kilkenny - and I am still undecided. So not reliable at all then. Nopeeee! Doesn't seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 There is nothing that sums up the glory of the Internet in the modern age more than a group of (almost exclusively) white males telling black and Asian people what words they should and shouldn't be offended by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Black or white, a footballer is a footballer. The game is the same world around. Think we can have 1.5 for Albert. Barnet will get 20 procent of the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdliketoRogerMoore Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Apart from a few selective words which are obviously offensive! Imo I think it comes down to intent to cause offense.

He's been told not to be offended by the term coloured Going by jeff's reply, it looks very much like you are feeling offended for him chip. Truth is you have no idea if a lot of the people on here are black, white, red, gree,n blue or coloured! It is the individual who may find a non offensive word offensive. And I will state again, that is their problem. If some one added a truly offensive word before or after the words black, white, coloured, red, blue, yellow etc etc then you have a point. Otherwise it is getting offended for offendeds sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what I wrote there wasn't intended to tell him what he should or shouldn't be offended by, so yep I'll hold my hands up, what I wrote directed to Jeff may have come across as appearing to be preaching to him what he should or shouldn't be offended by. That wasn't the intention of my post. I still stand by what I say. But I now get what you thought I was saying now I have actually noticed the word "Me" in his post.

RedRock Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Black in, Black out, Coloured in, Coloured Out, Black in ... jesz wish these PC people would make their friggin minds up. Infact, I'm coming to the conclusion the PC brigade keep changing the rules just so they can feel superior to the rest of us .... the ultimate prejudice. Meanwhile I'm well happy to be a Brit ... despite the PC lot not allowing use of Country abbreviations as that offends them as well. Get a life and start addressing real issues like global over population ... although that probably doesn't 'fit' with their distorted left wing view of the world. Anyhow, I'll miss Albert more for his personality than what he can do on the pitch. His interviews are worth at least £2million of anyone's money.

That wasn't the intention of my post. I still stand by what I say. But I now get what you thought I was saying now I have actually noticed the word "Me" in his post. To be fair to you, Jeff wrote back and said he was offended. I wasn't attempting to get offended on someone elses behalf, I just find it strange when people (and that would be on both sides of the coin in this argument) tell people how they should feel about a word or phrase or what they should be offended by. At the end of the day, if someone is offended by the use of a word in a particular context, thats down to them. I don't think people should be offended by the word 'black' or 'coloured', but then again neither of those words could be used to describe me so who am I to judge?! Incidentally, it does highlight one of the great things about internet forums; unless your avatar is a pic of yourself, no one here has a clue whether your black, White, short, tall, thin, fat, bald or hirsute. It's a great leveller Anyway, I hope Albert gets a move to the Premier League and we get decent money for him, but I have a feeling he'll end up at Wigan and we'll feel short-changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jordan Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I was holding out a very faint hope that Albert would stay, naivety but who can blame someone for dreaming for the best!? Sadly, after watching the interview with JL last week, he practically confirmed Albert will be leaving shortly, albeit not saying this was the case directly.

Sadly, after watching the interview with JL last week, he practically confirmed Albert will be leaving shortly, albeit not saying this was the case directly. I think they want to sell him. Not very often we get news on the OS about rejecting bids. Sounds like they are trying the usual tricks to drum up a bit of business. Nothing would please them more than a bidding war.

westonred Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 We have to sell him he's one of our only sellable assests who could go for free next summer. However much we all love AA and wish him to stay we need to get rid of him now. While there are 5 or 6 clubs reportedly interested Swansea, Cardiff, Reading, Palace, Wigan, Middlesboro all clubs with money to chuck around we ought to be ringing these clubs to say he's available at the right price and get a bidding war going.I'm sure we could squeeze £1.5 to £2m out of someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
