Leon 'blondie' Osman.

well done...

I've always thought that the quickest, nippier, players have been below average height. Low centre of gravity? Ethnicity doesn't come into it. Don't know what all this has to do with the RS though??

Because being a RS is about as low as you can get?

no mate..maybe he had highlights once?!

White cracker-ass Dutch wingers never make it in the premier league. It's a stereotypical fact.

Pele was small..

Griezmann's blonde and good.

Which one lost his V to a goat and which one lost it to a bloke?

You'd never describe a white player as that though

You'd just say he was slow and lanky

He didn't need to say that he was black but he made a point of it. He could of just said "fast midgets don't make it to be world class players"

There was no need to bring in the qualifier about him being black. It designates that being black or not is an important feature in regards to judging a players talent, which it absoluely isn't

Spot on. It's racial stereotyping & profiling. At best it's vile, myopic, ignorant and downright idiotic really, but sometimes jealousy can bring out the true nature of people. I only signed up recently, but this will be my sign-off.

Totally ignoring the fact that their Gerrard song proclaims "he's big and he's 'fugging' hard"

Apologies if this has already been raised; haven't read the entire thread yet.

So do you suggest we all go around commenting on "black midgets"?

Those are the rules, if you disagree, please find another forum.

If you want to start a topic on it, be my guest.

If the site is going to prohibit any reference to a persons colour, or height, or hair colour etc, then you may want to update the Forum Rules thread as it is not clearly specified, only inflammatory or offensive comments.

You have also just fallen foul of your own rule by referencing a persons colour and height. I demand you ban yourself

 

[Titus Bramble]

Liverpool though, eh lads? I lol at them.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out !!

q) Be religious, racial or political. There are other forums on the Internet suited for exactly this type of discussion, and ask that you please conduct such discussions on those forums.


It was a racial comment chum, and it's referenced at least three times in the rules. It's hardly PC gone mad, and if you think that not being able to refer to someone as a "black midget" encroaches on your freedom of speech, I think there's some handy advice regarding other forums contained within the rules too.

Are you twelve?
