I've missed your big bald head my friend and the words of wisdom that escape from it.

I like the image of wise words escaping from Mablo's head as he attempts to keep them in!

Clutching at them...

Anyway, it's nearly friday night. Someone with some money buy me some beer. Please?

Kentfox. You're closest! :cool:

I don't think I've ever been as disappointed as when I first discovered Mablo isn't bald.

King Kong - Thrac have you been showering with the youth players?

"you don't wash it like that boy, give it 'ere"

Some of you can turn any innocent remark towards the drains.

If you stood beside Sappleton you' see clearly why he might be called King Kong.

It was meant to be quite complimentary.

Clearly you have to be so careful with modern interpretations.

I suppose that's how the PC boys got to be so busy.

There'll doubtless be less than savoury meaning for the word football before long... :whistle:

There's not much that pisses me off more that people throwing the "PC-Brigade" label about willy nilly (yes, I said willy nilly), usually after they've made some kind of malicious racist comment (although that's not the case here)

What did you expect when you've nicknamed a black chap after a giant monkey (ok, King Kong's a gorilla, but I'm not a biologist)?

I know you didn't mean it in that way, but you can't sit there and call people PC boys just because they've been slightly surprised at nicknaming Ricky Sappleton after an ape.

How often have we heard stories of football players getting racial abused by crowds making monkey sounds?

You must've expected some kind of comment on it surely?

Quippage would be an ideal middle name. Discuss (8 marks)

I agree. Gimmee 8 marks.

The comparison as you know related to size - as in big, strong, height, weight - the ape thing didn't come into it because, truly you'd have to first regard an ape as somehow unworthy/inferior/whatever to even think like that.

Personally, as an aside, I think apes are magnificent creatures.

In some ways I feel sorry for the warped interpretations applied to so many things these days. It's like the rape of the word gay, I suppose, which was once a happy rather than a sordid word.

I accept I may be nieve but no, I didn't expect the response.

It just wouldn't cross my mind to ever be disrespectful to a black footballer in any way and people who would make such sounds as you refer to are so far beneath contempt that I just wouldn't have any interest in reading about them or giving them any sort of creibility.

But thanks for taking the trouble to explain.

I don't know why, but I just found that funny

a "nicknames for the players" thread seemed to have the potential for a laugh or two but somehow the theme has been scuppered :(
