Liam? I think you've got the former 'Cheese' on dotorg mixed up with someone else Joe!
You were always a WUM back then and you've put the cat amongst the pigeons with this post too, you old devil. Good to see you posting on here though. Tell Chappers he's missed.
Definitely running slowly today. On matchdays after a game it sometimes won't even load. Today I've waited up to 15 seconds for the forum to load. By comparison: RFI instant load.
Maybe it is all down to our Korean fans and the bots, but it has been going on for some time.
So you don't think the owner of our football club has a responsibilty to the good name of the club and its community of diverse fans? You think it's absolutely okay for him to express vile and racist views?
"At the same time, Jewish fans, like all communities, should have better ways to engage with difficult opinions rather than outright dismissing or reacting emotionally to them."
Oh, and good of you to speak on behalf of all our Jewish fans and tell them they shouldn't react emotionally. Tone deaf doesn't cover it. Wow.
"It's a pretty reasonable political opinion he's amplifying".
Are you effing kidding me?
Our owner shared posts calling for Israel to be ‘dismantled’ and praising Hezbollah. Yeah, that's right, the genocidal terrorist organisation who have vowed to wipe Israel from the face of the earth.
Then he goes on to repost conspiracy theories that Israel ‘owns’ the US, citing paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein as evidence.
But hey, that's a reasonable opinion, nothing to look at here. There are plenty of tone deaf posts in this thread, but for me this takes the biscuit:
"I felt pretty unsettled this week when Trump stated he would have no issue displacing two million people from their homes to turn their land into a luxury destination... "
Oh dear, so because you felt "unsettled" by something Trump said, then by extension, it's okay for our owner to tarnish the good name of our club and alienate our many Jewish fans with these vile and ignorant opinions, is it? Wow. Just wow.
I am from the manor, or near enough. And knew it well growing up as my mum taught just off Portobello Road and plenty of her friends lived in those lovely tall houses, so I went inside plenty of them. And yes, there was squalor, but not a great deal. And yes, I know about Rachman, but here's the thing, you said:
"It was literally a slum back then. "
Which is utter nonsense. Parts of it were pretty run down. Most of it was fine, even the poorer areas. It was not a literal slum. They had literal slums in the East End back then, mind you. Cheers.
Edit: Actually, on consideration, I agree, some parts were pretty much slums. But I suppose I'm being pedantic, because large parts weren't slums. As you can see in the clean and ordered streets in the film.
Edit 2: Utter nonsense is a bit strong. I apologise for that.
Whatever the reason is, it's an amazing reception. It's a long time since I was last outside SA when the players come out, but I've never seen anything like that before.
If I had one word to describe that match, I'd say: refreshing.
How refreshing was it to see us monstering the fookin Roverrrs?
How refreshing was it to see how much those players cared? When Frey did that counter-pressing charge at the end of the 1st half and then geed up the crowd. That was fantastic.
Loved the way we fought our way back into that game second half and boy I enjoyed Colback's goal...
