Your right speedy, i work in a school.
There's a young lad in year 9 who as gone through school being a lovely red/ginger hair colour.

Last week i didn't recognise him, he'd dyed is hair black, now i wonder why he did that hey.

Just a note. When it's your own mates doing it that is one thing. A bunch of halfwitted Leeds fans doing it is entirely different. They should all be carted off for lobotomies.

Oh, is it time to bring up the fact that Gareth Thomas seems to want his team mates to take the mick out of him for being gay?

How about this quote?

And that complements this:



Which is the point, isn't it?

IIRC the idiots did not sing about the official masturbating. They said that he didn't know what he was doing.

Would anyone be able to tell the differance?

Fancy a bum?

I am neither fat or ginger, but I am a w***er. But I was very offended as I am a propper b@st@rd!

Well, she could have said "Not tonight David, me ring is sore."

Would those defending these 'ginger' chants mind awfully if I called you all a bunch of f**king hypocrites?

It's not as bad as gay-hating.

Why isn't it?

Thats nothing on Radio Leeds after 38 minutes 20 seconds I heard a section of the Cas crowd chant "the referee's bent" .... better get the cheque book out

Why you think?

In simple terms - what's worse:

slapping someone in the face

or

stabbing someone.......

(not a metaphor)

But thats not the same, you have quoted something completely different. Killing someone is obviously worse than slapping them. Verbally abusing someone and verbally abusing someone is exactly the same!

Let's overlook context then.

This is the most stupid and backwards thead I have ever seen. Surely this is some kind of joke?

No, you invented the context in line with your perceived hirachy of dastardly deeds. I could say burning a house down and killing a whole family is worse than sh@ting in their pond. But it has no resemblance to this argument, you are merely quoting acts. One worse than the other. You still have not explained why chastising someone for being ginger and fat is not as bad as chastising some for being gay. Both comments are potentially hurtful, I bow to hypocracy without reason!

Two perfectly apt adjectives, Sir!

I find that offensive and claim my £40k

I find it rather funny. I dont want 40k, just keep up the hilarious whinging

I'd prefer our fans to focus more on the team performances then whatever obsenities the loiners are chanting.

I would agree with that, we have won 4 on the bounce now,its time to get behind the players & forget what other clubs are doing.

After the Sherwin saga,the fine's,the Barrow cup disaster etc we have a real chance of finishing the season well(which i didn't see coming)so lets try and be positive!

Frankly anyone who [iseriously[/i believes that homophobic abuse is on a par with last night's chants at Headingley is living in fantasy land.

The club has an arguable defence: that Cas treat the issue seriously and took steps which the tribunal ignored or didn't give enough weight to.

We aren't appealing on the grounds that homophobic abuse isn't really all that.

And arguing that it's not really anything deserving action or punishment, or on a par with the newly discovered "hair colourism" - whatever tf that is - not only undermines and trivialises the club's real grounds for appeal but actually reinforces the prosecution case that we don't take homophobia seriously and stronger action by the RFL and clubs is needed to drive the message home.

TBH, we're beginning to sound like some of the Widnes fans in 2008, whinging about some unfair conspiracy against us and trying to blame anyone but the actual culprits: in their case the ex-chairman and board who screwed their club's finances, in our case the idiots who thought it would be fun to chant homophobic abuse at a gay player.


So as DS10 said: let's concentrate on backing the team on the field.

Then you are as bad and shame on you - calling anyone names be it about their sexuality, race or even the colour of the hair is a form of bullying. Put it this way if you had a child with ginger hair and all their classmates were calling them names and they were coming home crying then would you not be down at the school wanting something done about it - damn right you would!! Nobody knows how James Graham feels, he may have been picked on at school about his hair and reminders can be upsetting. What if Cas fans come to your place and starting changing "ginger bstd" to Riley then is that ok or will we get reported for that as well.

Would you theirfor please have a word with gaslight as he seems to be taking all this out of proportion,and on numerous forums
