Had a fair bit of money saved.


You live with your parents then I take it?

(not a judgement, I'm living with my parents until September )

Don't shift your expats on to us.


I am wholly sorry.

I actually lived in Oz for 4/5 years as a child, my family realised we were in the wrong and retreated. I am, again, sorry.

To be fair we can't control what we find offensive, I don't like racist comments said by my friends, as in actually derogatory, but I say nigga a lot out loud in imitation a lot. It's all contextual. A good friend of mine has a sister with cerebal palsy, and my cousin has MS, so you just adapt what you say and when in different circumstances. I think that's the nicest thing people do, is minding who they're with in order to accommodate them.


I agree.

My only point is that the widespread use of 'spastic' is really recent and the unwitting repeating of the word and the resulting mirror behaviour in society could genuinely upset a large portion of society, a portion that really doesn't deserve to hear that word either as a direct insult (not that Ninja was doing that), but as a general part of speech. When being 'like them' is considered to be an insult, and the offence taken confirms their lower status.

Of course language moves on, terms lose their meaning, idiot is an example, and so is cretin (that I even used to describe Ninja's post, above), a hundred or so years ago these words actually meant people with mental and physical disorders, they were terms used before improvements in science and the development of a devoted language towards disabilities was started.

I'm not sure it'll ever get that way with certain racial slurs (nor perhaps, should it).

(BTW this isn't aimed at anyone's views on this thread - I'm just justifying myself)

Anyway, what about those Reds eh?

I'd use the term christian driver to refer to someone driving in a calm, generous way despite the fact I think christianity is one of the worst things to happen to this planet and some christians are awful people.

We all know where the word came from and you know I wasn't using it in a derogatory manor, you're just picking a fight for the sake of it.


Not really a fight is it? Disagreeing with a term on the internet?

We can all play this game, I'm sure if I could be bothered I could dig up posts where you've used phrases like mental or retard which can be viewed as disparaging to those with mental health issues or learning difficulties. You're entitled to your objection, it doesn't make it justified.


I'm sure you could, and I'll hold my hands (shamefully) up to it. But I'd like to think that I and most people have moved on from finding humour in those sorts of words and phrases.

I'll keep my hand-wringing lefty ways to myself in future .

You know I wasn't actually implying they had cerebal palsy, no need to be so tetchy.


Doesn't matter if you were implying they had a disability. I'm objecting to the fact that you think it's acceptable to use an insult that was created (adapted from the charity Scope's former name) to insult disabled people, and use it to refer to, presumably, people you consider stupid or idiotic.

Just realised that's not from the official account, I thought it was


Despite the 140 character limit, I doubt that the official twitter would misspell the quadruple the club craves .

It probably was.

Some spastics on redcafe were seriously blaming him for Thiago wanting to go to Bayern.

The Rangers*

And don't be so shocked by the their neanderthal ways, poor souls don't get many days out.


One drunk 14 year old decided to shout loudly in my face while I was walking home and then pretend to put his hands towards my throat.

The most pathetic part? When his parents started patting him on the back as he quickly scuttled away shouting "ye only came tae see the rangers."

He's signed for us on a two year deal. Quite happy with the signing, to be honest. I can see you don't rate him, but he was good during his three loan spells here.


He was absolute garbage for us. He improved under SO'D. He's played in a shite team however so he might come good in a team with more confidence. Truly earned the moniker Nyatanglefoot with us though.

He's young enough and the potential is there though, we apparently wanted to keep him.

We've just signed Jay Emmanuel-Thomas (part ex. with Paul Anderson) and Scott Wagstaff on a free from Ipswich and Charlton respectively.

Really pleased, I like the way that Sean O'Driscoll and Keith Burt are going about things. Targetting good players early.

We've signed so far:

Aden Flint (CB - Swindon)
Frank Fielding (GK - Derby)
Derrick Williams (CB/LB - Aston Villa)
Jordan Wynter (DM/CM - Arsenal)

and now

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas (CM/AM/ST/Wherever - Ipswich)
Scott Wagstaff (RM)


Out:

Ricky Foster: Free to Rangers (YES!!!!)
Lewin Nyatanga: Free (YES!!!) (Yeovil a possibility)
Cole Skuse: Free to Ipswich
Tom Heaton: Free to Burnley
Jon Stead: Free to Huddersfield
Dean Gerken: Free (Ipswich a possibility)
Brian Howard: Free
Mark Wilson: Free
Matthew Bates: Free
Anderson: Ipswich P/ex.

Happy with out business so far, lots of high-earning under-performers out. Unfortunately some of the ones we'd perhaps like to shift are under contract.

So we've signed Dale Jennings and Chris O'Grady. Sounds like another signing may join tomorrow.

Justicar - we keep getting linked with Stead recently. He's always played well against us but his goal record is pretty poor. Thoughts?


Will play his absolute heart out for the team. One of the few that has done for us the last few seasons. Won't score lots of goals but his work-rate is high.

He's easily championship standard, his injury was one of the reasons we capitulated so easy.

So no friendly against Willem II (probably have to be next year now).

But we have announced a friendly at home to Glasgee Rangers on Sat, July 13.

I will have just about got back from Rome, so I'll be going. Any Weegies coming to Bristol for the game?

Was going to say nothing wrong with Kent then realised your on about Gillingham and could understand you not coming even if you did not have work. I hate when I get jobs in Gillingham.


It's just a trek to watch Bristol City inevitably get dumped out of a meaningless cup competition. I'll probably go to more away games than home games next season however.

Aye, why is a FM forum the place people visit to have a wank?

Plenty porn sites out there.

I'm just messing with you. I know what a tenterhook is. I watch too many food programs not to.


I thought it was just a textile thing that entered figurative speech. What does it mean in cooking?
