I know you were only joking but disabled toilets are not reserved for disabled people they are just toilets that have disabled facilities (opening up another can of worms when there's already enough worms all over the place in this thread ).

I thought the modern term was Universal Acess Toilet, you can’t be discriminatory now and use terms like disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasonable people come up with reasonable solutions. Is that a geezer in a frock, or a bird done up like a fella? Modern life is jolly complicated.

Perfectly decent bloke although his big problem has always been that he's very socially awkward and I can't see how this is going to do anything but make that worse.

What like taps that don't work? .. Toilets that won't flush? Faulty locks.. ? etc (why fit facilities that don't do the job?) (PS before any self righteous so & so's start jumping up and down on behalf of others, I'm obviously only joking and most disabled people I've ever known or met are great people with wonderfully intact senses of humour who don't require others to be offended on their behalf... just a bit of toilet humour that's all. Feel free to pull the plug on this one if it fits.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 'different' is bigotted, in bad taste, demeans another human and puts them on a level below you. Shame but that's why. We, as in gay fans, do turn up, in probably the same percentage as straight men who are into football attending, it’s just that in the main we are undetectable as the vast majority of gay men look like your average fella. As a gay fan I have never felt intimidated at any ground, even when the gay banter chants are started (usually at Brighton fans). I join in. I find them amusing and leg pulling towards another set of fans. Is chanting, you wish you were engerlish at the Welsh racist? i wouldn’t feel comfortable having a loud conversation about the merits of Bakers amazing legs at the ground, partly because I’m there to watch city play and don’t care whether have a team of black, white, Asian, gay, straight, tall, short or ginger as long as they play for the benefit of the team. On the same token I don’t discuss the body or attractiveness of other men at the gym either. I’m there to push some weights around and keep fit, not to discuss my sexuality. wear rainbow laces if you want, wave a flag around, or dont, it’s all the same to me...

So no we don't ;( https://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/12321/11565014/lgbt-issues-need-solving-in-male-sport-says-kat-merchant Great article by the way It's also telling that you cant have the conversations you want because fear of trouble, which has been exactly my point. You arent out at football arr you? Effectively you go with the majority and change your behaviour That's the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 On the profile viewing thing, seeing this thread jogged my memory. I looked a week or so- and it's been superseded by other views- but I did get a print screen. There was a view of mine by Julie H or someone using her account? November 12th, 3:17pm. Now I'm not particularly fussed by it but if it is someone using the account then I'm not sure how it can be ideal- I've got the print screen.

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 It's not terribly relevant to this issue on one level, but I read after racist abuse of Koulibaly last night (it must have been pretty sustained etc) at Inter-Napoli, 2 games behind closed doors for Inter. Violence outside ground too with injuries and one death but I'm assuming the racial abuse was a key reason., It proves my point I made a few weeks back that when the line is crossed, Governing bodies (I don't mean the Government in this instance), I mean Leagues and FAs do have these powers in extremis. See my post on November 26 on this thread for a little context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
