[Yiddo100]

The state of this thread.

 

[usspur]

can someone lock this ffs

 

[hughy]

Can we lay off Donna Cullen, specifically attacks on her looks? Smash her on decision making if you've got a gripe but the nasty comments about her today really smack of typical internet misogyny.

I suggest you stay wellll away from the TTIUWP thread in chat.

 

[poc]

not nearly the same thing. Historically women have their looks, age, and sexual history used as ammunition against them where it is in no way applicable to the discussion. Levy gets smacked around for his business approach as well as being called a bald midget. If you've got a real criticism of her professional performance than by all means have at it but that is not even close to the tenor of what is happening here.

And men don’t get their age looks hair sexual history used as ammo lol you must have a sheltered life Jesus people take shut way to seriously. It’s not what I’m going to get into but I’m not going to bring the history of womankind into forum banter either.

 

[SurreySpur82]

saw 6 new pages in the ITK thread, assumed some juicy news getting everyone excited. But no, just a load of shit talk

 

[freeeki]

This really applies to Levy as well. He gets mocked for his height and lack of hair on here on a daily basis, and it's so needless and unoriginal.

But also piss funny. The slippery little shit.

Sorloth said thanks, but no thanks lol

And would it be white knighting if Levy were LGBTQ+ and this group focused on calling him a queen rather than focusing on the real reason he's a shit chairman? Would that make me a homophobe for sticking up for him? Cmon man, be better.

"Be better"
Apparently the best we can do around here is make fun of people for their lack of height and hair.

 

[JCRD]

I would just like to point out (to cover my back) that I did not insult Donna Cullen but merely pointed out that I would treat her well

Anyways look I dont think Levy is that bad in all honesty but I dont think he will be able to take us to the next level. He is not exempt from criticism and sometimes you reach a plateau as would any manager etc - he has reached that plateau.

I feel we do really miss a football guy at the helm, not to much in Levys role but the whole DoF...

I dont think you can run a football club purely like a business, it is a business but there is a more emotional attachment to a club - it is an institution...

All this heightist bollocks we've had to put up with from A&C for years and not one of you jumped to the defence of the short-arses

(Yeah, this has probably run it's course, let's just agree you're all in the wrong and move on, eh?)

TBF it wasn't a high jump.

 

[Azza1985]

What have I just read! And for 17 pages. Hopefully everyone has had their vent etc and hopefully tomorrow we hear some new ITK.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

@Rob Don't suppose the Goat has a cheeky cryptic? Low or high brow?

 

[The Scarecrow]

But also piss funny. The slippery little shit.

Is it, though? Is anyone actually laughing? A well crafted joke, sure, but 99% of it is extremely low effort.

 

[hughy]

It'd be interesting to see how many people funnied this:

Minge faced old trout!!;

... And agreed with this:

Own up ya hypocritical ****s.

Graham potter on loan option to buy end of the season

 

[Hoopspur]

I still look on the bright side. The club is doing really well with it’s bookings for the skywalk ?

 

[rawhide]

Some serious wetties in here tonight.

If that genuinely offends you, you must have one sad little life

I’d be sure that Donna doesn’t give a fuck about what people write on the internet about her, so I don’t think her hero over there should either.

It would be different if it was constant or a thread about her, it was a throw away comment in jest. Don’t be so naive

You have absolutely no knowledge of how Donna Cullen would react to insults.

However, we do know that others are negatively impacted by random internet insults, so an extrapolation of this is not unreasonable.

The “it’s just a joke”defence, and the “it’s not all the time” defence have both been proven time and again to be the last bastion of those who can’t justify their position when faced with others who can reasonably argue how and why they shouldn’t disparage others based on physical characteristics.

It’s not “serious wetties”, it’s a bunch of people who don’t want to put up with this outdated, tiresome, lowest common denominator insults that have nothing to do with and no place in football, transfers, or life.

I’m pleased that unacceptable behaviour is called out in this manner.

What are you expecting on an Internet forum, the Edinburgh festival?

Christ alive.
