Anybody who attended that game knows exactly what I meant. Mores to the point, I object very strongly of being accused in an obtuse and round-about way of being the same as the majority of the Red Star fans that night. That is totally unacceptable. Lets move on now. Yeah of course. It's obvious that you didn't have any malicious intent, but I don't know why people (not you particularly) fight against being called out for using outdated words.

The idea of not mentioning race is stupid in this context. Of course it makes sense, don't you think if someone mentioned racist behaviour we would assume it was against the black players? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their ground made Filbert St look like the Bernabau but it was rammed and raucous. Seem to remember John Sjoberg scoring in a 2-1 win. Next round was the famous Cup replay with Man City - Frank Large and all that. Chief memories are of an horrendous rail journey up there with some Leicester fans getting arrested for smashing up the carriage they were in. I believe they're known as the 'good old days.' Remember it well it pissed it down all day and the roof of the terracing leaked as well, like you say the good old days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. At least not automatically and that still isn't a reason why it shouldn't be mentioned. This is just silly now. Choosing to be specific is hardly a crime and it made sense within the context. If there it is clearly not relevant to the discussion then I would be inclined to agree with you. As I explained he mentioned it to put a focus on the poor behavior of the opposition fans and their backwards mentality.

Come on here to find some rather strange replies to what i said so its nice to see someone who isnt a dinosaur. I was merely pointing out using the term coloured is offensive and outdated. Wouldn't hurt for some people to do a bit of research and educate themselves a bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been embarrassing. ...I would have hated getting a hammering!!! But I would still rather be in the CL than not. It is a massive opportunity missed, it may never come again, there is no way you should ever say no to something like this. We need to take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way.

W88DY Posted 4 September 2020 Share Posted 4 September 2020 The bottom line is we didn`t make the Champions League this time around as expected but i am sure the club will do all they can to make sure we do it the next time whenever that may be, such a shame given the position we was and every fan like me thought we were going to do it but it wasn`t to be. Don`t worry, we are still in Europe and have a much better chance of winning the Europa ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post peach0000 Posted 5 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 5 September 2020 (edited) Can’t believe there’s even a discussion going on about whether the word ‘coloured’ is acceptable or not. Of course it’s not and the fact there’s even a discussion about it shows that there’s is a real lack of understanding on these issues in society. Shocking really.

I don’t make the rules, but if ethnic minorities are more comfortable with those labels, then I don’t see why we shouldn’t go along with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wondered really, as I probably would have called them a group of coloured people and wouldn't have considered it offensive, prior to reading this. But I am perfectly open to using an alternative description. Every day is a school day as they say. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
