It's exactly the point. The weight Tomlin carries, and seemed especially in evidence on Saturday, may have a direct impact on whether he can do his job. Fitness is pretty much a pre-requisite for a footballer. It's perfectly reasonable to debate whether he's carrying too much weight and what effect that has. I'd agree with you that simply taking the piss because of it isn't on, but that's not what the point of that thread was about. Johnson's height, as far as I'm aware, has no bearing at all on whether he can do his job. It's purely used as a rather puerile attempt to abuse him.

Absolute pond life who ever is supporting these banners, and to ridicule someone for their height (which you can't actually have any control over) is just beyond pathetic, So referring to someone's (lack of) height is crass but referring to someone as pond life is ok?

I think you can help being 'pond life', no matter what sort of family you were born into or what sort of childhood etc you had, to quote the usual reasons given for thinking with your fists or being egged on by mates instead using your brain. Most people know right from wrong and to add the term midget is wrong and cowardly in my book. But hey, that's just my opinion, I count for nothing in the scheme of things, but at least I acknowledge this and not believing I can write something on a banner it it becomes fact.

bearded_red Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I love this 'oh Rovers fans will be laughing at us' narrative. I've stolen this from someone on Twitter, but I'm not embarrassed by a bloke with a bed sheet and some paint, I'm embarrassed by losing 13 out of 16 games. The 'midget' remark is of course unnecessary however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider head Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have been asked to point out that the banners were not the work of Section 82. On the subject of banners, I see no wrong in expression of "Johnson out" as the whole internet of social media, forums, twitter, instagram, Facebook to blogs are very much reading 90% Johnson out so a few banners on the wall is a drop in the ocean, however I agree the midget part is naughty and the banner barer would have a little more support if that word was dropped. LJ should be judged on results on the pitch and not as a person but let's be honest it's on the pitch that is a disaster. Now back to banners and what I am now a little embarrassed by is my own banner of "THE 2nd COMING" In Johnson we trust. Trust? Well I am feeling a little let down by that right now by our sackable managers run. So yes banners can be embarrassing for different reasons.

Sixtyseconds Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Will be banners in the Atyeo be displayed normally, upside down or grouped together behind the goal in a pro thumb up or anti thumbs down formation? Please no banner formations displaying middle fingers or fingers that are in formations normally associated with self abuse ... There are children in the ground.

I'm pretty sure his twitter handle used to include the name of the worlds shortest man. The banner is still a bit cringy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they were on the verge of dropping into the conference (a couple of times) they did absolutely nothing. No protests. Nothing. They stood there with their thumbs up their asses and let it happen thinking they were too big to go down. Never, ever held the club to account. Jokers. I'll say this for city fans: we don't put up with shit. Some may go about displaying there displeasure in the wrong way, but if we feel things are going wrong we stand up. It's something that should be applauded (as long as its not vicious) in my opinion. "I'll say this for City fans : we don't put up with shit " Well we have for at least the last 3 months !!

Guest Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Seen this in that sorry excuse for a paper's website, I do not agree with the insult but do agree in the impact that the sign might have (hopefully) However whoever did it could of spent more time on it (You can see the rush and rage!) and I hope the sheet was washed first.
