Oyston insults the disabled on 09:07 - Dec 22 by terminallytangerine | Maybe because it is just too easy to throw insults and has been done to death anyway. I didn't think there was anything fluffy about Wizard's analysis. Nobody is going to defend his abuse of the disabled - and for that he needs to apologise - but I now look forward to all these righteous posters both self-censoring their own posts and condemning the excesses of our most vociferous sociopaths. So he shouldn't have done it, needs to apologise for his ill considered remarks about the disabled (and if this is indeed his attitude to the disabled rather than a knee jerk put down of someone who was insulting him,should be roundly condemned for his pre-21st century ignorance) and as chairman should not rise to the abuse he received on his mobile from someone he doesn't know. Even allowing for the context where his children are abused, a group of 13 year olds are encouraged to chant 'Die Oyston die' outside the sponsors lounge and there are no holds barred in the abuse aimed at him and his family on social media. So not trying to excuse his words or suggest it wasn't a stupid use of language but I think we need to look at the bigger picture and not fall into the trap of double standards.

Agree with tt and wiz. Had to look up the meaning of sociopath though. IMHO an apt description. | | | |

No, 81.. That's not what I said. I think he was wrong given his position to react in the way he did. The disabled don't deserve to be treated with contempt by anyone, and one of the beautiful things about football is that it (or at least it has in the past and in my view should) unites people of all abilities, races and creeds. I do however welcome your condemnation of any future homophobic, racist and disability abuse aimed at fellow supporters, for instance, beginning with those who like to describe AVFTT as a 'mong' site - a particularly despicable term of abuse aimed at the disabled methinks.

I am from BHS, couldn't give a crap about the petty squabbling about who are the real avftt. This is something that cannot be brushed aside although a few will try. | | | |

TT. In my job no allowances would be made for provocation. I'd be out of work. An apology is not enough. | | | |

Not sure anyone is going to brush anything aside except Karl himself. | |

Then I'm sure you will support my unreserved condemnation of those who are as guilty as our beloved chairman. I look forward to your posts on this very issue. | | | |
Oyston insults the disabled on 12:37 - Dec 22 with 2044 views | OdinsRaven | These were not off the cuff remarks akin to Dave Whelan. These were written comments and I would suggest he does actually have a dislike of disabled people and sees them as lesser humans. Despite the context and the wind up the big story for me is that he actually does harbour these thoughts of those less enabled and for me that is truly disgusting | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Agreed Raven, it leaves him with no other possible option. He has to go. | | | |

Could #textgate have come at a better time for Karl - yesterday's newspapers being tomorrow's fish and chip wrappers etc? | |

As it is, he's fallen for it hook, line and sinker, and will get no sympathy from anyone. The problem is, he won't care So does this actually mean you Wiz or just all the others? | | | |

Interesting that such a non-committal comment can still get a -1. Don't you dare think for yourself if you want to placate the politicos. (I'll start the ball rolling with a -1) | | | |

TT it's a bizarre form of Tourettes. A lot like compulsive typing of words like "buffoon…… naive…… deluded……clique……. oh God I've just come…." | |
