Saturday 25th September - Football Talk!

Say what you like about Bellamy, and he is the biggest @#%&! in the world, but city will miss him this season and they were idiots to let him go.

"a slow burning fuse this one".

it's £#%&!ing dogshit.

secretly hoping the massives win this one. get them giddy, knock the wind out of the renters.

ivanovic just hit the crossbar.

Am I hearing things or did Phil "get your nostrils off the pitch" Thompson just call John O'Shea a paddy?

If so, is that not as bad as the joke Rodney Marsh got sacked for?

Yes.

Why would that be worse than calling an Irish professional footballer whose christian name is John, Paddy?

Could be a few injuries/sending offs here

When used by the English, equivalent to the `n` word when referring to black people.

Shit, didn't know that. I learn something new every day with this forum.

Not really. Paddy isn't a name adopted by slave masters to reaffirm their belief that the 'n' is non-human.

Paddy is at worst, a slightly offensive joke.

Incorrect. It was (still is by morons) used by those who regard themselves as masters that they see all Irish as subservient, therefore all called the same derogatory term.

In the context of a presenter on a nationally televised programme in 2010 using it, it is just as unacceptable. (see Ron Atkinson)
