The amount of messed up stuff people say to each other on here and people have a meltdown over casual use of a word which has long since stopped being used to describe disabled people and is now a general insult along the lines of calling something gay.

Seems like selective outrage to me but not arsed enough to get into an arguement about it.

In primary school
 
Sorry you see it like that mate, but as the parent of a disabled child, I can tell you that it's a highly offensive word and there's no such thing as " casual " use of it.

Make of that what you will x

* I'd also like to say, that from via previous PM's with @widnesblue that he does some great work with kids from disadvantaged backgrounds and I'm sure he didn't mean it to offend.

I didn't mean to offend, really didn't. It was a term I used loosely, and didn't think about peoples background and people would find it highly offensive. If I've disrespected anyone, I hold my hands up and admit I was been a prat. My deepest apologies to everyone I've offended.

Working with kids, with learning difficulties, different disabilities, I should of known better. I know the effects it has on them when people insult them.

The one thing I've realised over the years is that young people with disabilities are some of the greates kids to work with.

The is a kid I'm teaching at the minute who has cerebral palsy. He's took to plastering like a duck to water. Hopefully in the next year he can go on and have a succesesful career in plastering. A couple of kids, I teach have autism, Aspergers, ADHD, Learning difficulities. In the next 2 months, they will all achieve awards in construction, 3 of them will achieve level 1 and level 2 diplomas in Construction, health and safety, Manuel Handling and job interview skills. They are all great kids with bright futures, I'd probably react the same way some of you lot have, if someone called them that.


This is me not trying to earn brownie points, just apologising for insulting people.

Hopefully Ross stays, if not, we will move on. C.O.Y.B.

So, Matt Law said that Chelsea are interested in Barkley and that you guys value him at 50M
" A bid for Ross Barkley, who has one more year left on his contract at Everton and has been told he will be sold unless he signs a new deal, is also not out of the question, but Chelsea will not pay the £50m wanted."

..I doubt anybody will pay £50m even if he had 3 years left but we're now in a negotiating game and you start with your best shot.

i think you guys might be looking at a figure of 20-30M, doubt anyone will pay more than that for a player on the last year of his contract.
Us being involved is good for you though, will probably drive his price up a bit
 
Not really, he is usually spot on when it comes to Chelsea

Oh no, not this again.

Chelsea’s favourite sports reporter Law says that Everton could be offered Victor Moses, Bertrand Traore or Juan Cuadrado if the club change their mind and cash in on the England player.

He had an 'exclusive' on Barkley signing for Spurs in January which has been deleted. Shocking.

Everyone takes the piss out of him regularly and all: https://twitter.com/search?q=#mattlawfacts

If anyone can get this to work, here's everytime he's got a transfer story about us wrong: http://www.thetopbalcony.com/times-matt-law-got-everton-transfers-wrong/363

Long and short of it is, it's great reading Matt Law's stuff as it gives you belief, that you, yes you, can be a football 'journalist' too. I myself have finished Uni with around 300 articles to my name online and I'm still more ITK than big Matty Law when it comes to Everton transfers.

And all the articles he wrote that you posted about Chelsea are wrong because?....
He may not be the most realiable when it comes to other clubs, but when it comes to Chelsea he genuinely has inside information.

Because he's fed it by the club.

He's worthless when it comes to Everton transfers. He got the 50m tag from our reporters, nobody else.

Like i said, im not aware of his reputation when it comes to other clubs.
But following his work on Chelsea, being a Chelsea fan, i can confidently say, that he is the best out there, if he says we are interested in Barkley, in all likelyhood someone at Chelsea told him that,so i dont really see how his reputation with other clubs is relevant here.
