bennett Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think they had to make a stance with that one though. You know they would have got complaints from the obsessed by not condoning racists. If it turns out he's had nothing to do with Whyte I would bring him back in a heartbeat.Green never really convinced me, too much bluster and not enough substance. We really need stability more than anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC90 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 You have 2 accounts. You have made 2500 posts in 3 months. By definition, your a sad twat It's you're not your. Are you brain damaged by any chance? Like av said. Am.on my phone and couldn't care less. Explain why I would know to put an apostrophe between could and not but not know the difference between you're and your. Is this correct ? You're a wee bigoted cretin with "too" much time on "your" hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 You seriously cant take any poster seriously who doesn't know the difference between "your and you're" and "to and too". That's "can't".

As We Rise Again Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Green never really convinced me, too much bluster and not enough substance. We really need stability more than anything. I personally think we were a lot stronger with him being the at the forefront of our club. Don't get me wrong there were times where he said things that he shouldn't have but he stuck up for us more than anyone did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I tend to think the racist comments did for Green, more than the allegations of links with Whyte. Doubt exists about the nature of any Whyte connection, but none existed about the language he used to refer to his friend. Once sponsors started commenting on it, his number was up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have handled it a lot better than what he did, that was probably only time I didn't agree with him. Even if he didn't mean it in a racist way he still shouldn't have said it especially now days where everything comes under scrutiny from the PC brigade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there really were such a brigade, I'd be very keen to join. The move towards encouraging people to be sensitive in their use of language has been a force for good in society.

Don't you think people can say those sort of things without it being racially motivated though? Charles was from an age where that sort of thing was acceptable in Britain, Imrad his self even said that he wasn't a racist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenockRover Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Is GreenockRover a moderator then? It struck me as a bit of an arbitrary decision to be honest. If the above criteria were sufficient to close each thread, we'd have none left, certainly in this section of the site. Discussion had strayed, but I really don't tend to see that as a problem. I wasn't aware that starting a thread rendered you its owner. Seems that if you start a thread you can lock it whenever. Like you say, it didn't stick out as particularly poor; but if GR wanted it locked, it's locked. Personally, I find it fascinating, if slightly disturbing, to see some of the shyte that comes out from celtic and rangers fans when they descend into "aye but look at thame" mode. It makes the decision to follow other teams all the more sensible. Edit: couple of words missing. Sorry guys, back on the high seas again so I'm in catch up mode most of the time. MT yes, post authors get to close or delete their threads. No, I'm not a mod. I closed that one due to the way the usual cretins resorted to playing in their own excrement. Nothing more or less really. Truth is also that, we'll, they've become more than a bit boring and predictable so I figured saving everyone the bother of reading their rehashed crap.....again. I can reopen it if there's a desire for that, but most of the relevant points had been discussed.....? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can reopen it if there's a desire for that, but most of the relevant points had been discussed.....? No it's fine - leave it be. I thought there was some discussion bubbling away about the reasons behind Rangers signings last season, as an offshoot of what the document the BBC broke, had said about concentrating on youth in future. I was just a bit surprised to see it all blocked, but you're right, the whataboutery boys had got a grip of things and that's never pretty. Thanks for the explanation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 sorry to butt in, but has the argument on this thread really degenerated so much, that we are actually scoring points with regards to spelling? I always think that you are admitting defeat when you go down that line with you're argument. Sent from my GT-I9100P using Pie & Bovril mobile app Aye, very clever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles was from an age where that sort of thing was acceptable in Britain, Imrad his self even said that he wasn't a racist. We've already had this discussion AWRA. The argument wasn't about what motivated the remark, or even how Ahmad received it. The problem was that Green made the comment in a newspaper interview in order to try and establish that the world had gone mad in frowning upon such things. He used language that many would genuinely find offensive, in order to make a wider point that many would genuinely find offensive. I'm being serious when I say that Ahmad's personal views barely come into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The move towards encouraging people to be sensitive in their use of language has been a force for good in society. If the PC Brigade actually existed in anything like the form that its detractors claim, almost all the people who whine endlessly about it would be behind bars, and News International and the Daily Mail wouldn't be the world's most popular media organisations. Like so many other terrifying phantoms that have been raised on this thread, the PC Brigade is a politically useful abstraction that turns out to be just some journalists and a few idiots with websites when you try to quantify it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would, however, more than likely get complaints about not condemning racists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being serious when I say that Ahmad's personal views barely come into it. I know where you're coming from by saying it's because he gave the interview to a newspaper and said what he did. But I doubt anyone would be different whether they found out he said it to the media or in a conversation with Imran. It would still be the same reaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
