THE FALLING LIKE A STONE MAGGIES v The Yellows

Posted by M64 on May 3, 2021, 11:32 am

Yet again we fail to beat a bunch of part-timers.

Did you watch the match Fred? Dis you see our uninspiring manager/coach standing on the touchline with his arms folded, his face tucked into his anorak, totally dead to the world. Notts were hopeless, this cannot go on, 2 points from the last 18.

How much longer are the owners going to persist with this farce?

In theory, Sutton should thrash us about 4 or 5-0.

We seem to be able to play better against the top teams, oh hang on, no we don't Hartlepool easily beat us a few weeks ago.

I'm going for logic...3-0 defeat.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRR....FOXIE SAYS WAKE HIM UP WHEN THIS NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!!!

A very likely outcome, Maggie.
I however can’t predict a loss, it goes against my grain.
I have had a fair few predictions gone wrong lately so one more doesn’t matter, if that will be the case.

I am going for a 1-0 win to the Magpies.

Well Maggie that was of the worst performance this season to be honest. At the moment I don't see any motivation from the new man But!!! We have been on free fall for a long time even before Burch took over and now we are seeing the true nature of the players. Yes I can see the faults of him but really are the players doing there best/trying to earn a contract. I think we were punching above our weight for the first half of the season in terms of play not necessarily the results. Do I see either Ardley or Burch getting us promoted NO do I see either of them being a success at the lane NO. We have to let the season conclude and then do the right thing whatever that maybe. I am NOT defending Burch one bit and agree something as to change and quick, by that I mean at the end of the season not now cos it aint going to happen. Do we need a clear out at the end of the season wholly YES they have underperformed all season. The arms folded yes and I remember another manager doing that in the first half of the season.
Cmon Notts/Burch do what your paid to do and make it count. A surprise 2-0 win.

Well Maggie one down one to go. Something has gone seriously wrong there. The club will make no further comment which in itself is unusual/worrying.

My dear Fred,

Great news...but they sacked the wrong one!

Listening to the Ross interview, where he said we need more animals in this league, I actually thought, oh hello, at last he might understand at last.

Perhaps it was all too much for the snowflakes.

What an idiot Ross is, no place for racial slurs.

Back to Notts, clearly a masterstroke putting Doyle in as assistant head coach, the players will play for him.

Best performance in weeks.

Fred,

Having re-read the comment by Ross several times consider this; almost without exception, every country in Africa from Libya in the north to South Africa at the other end is corrupt. How many times do elections have observers? I know a Ghanaian who travels back home to organise construction work and her bemoans the fact he has to bribe so many people to get things done.

If you believe corruption is rife throughout the continent, is saying a doctored African passport a slur and if it is a fact as I contend it is, can you be racist by using the phrase doctored African passport?

Or have we all now been conditioned to believe that anyone that disparages a country or continent, without delving further into the veracity of the comment, is a racist.

In defamation law, when I worked in the High Court on The Strand, if you actually believed what you had said was true, you would be hard pressed to be sued for slander.

Most of us have said for the last two years that Enzio is lazy, it's the main criticism levelled at him.

As for the African part, that's completely wrong as his heritage is South American, not African.

What do you reckon Fred?

I believe that we have gone to far with the racist thing. When you couldn't say Blackboard/whiteboard/chalkboard whatever next just because someone says it is offensive. I personally do not think what he says was offensive and agree with you re the lazyness of Enzio and would get rid of him at the end of the season. I agree with the slander part and yes they would be hard pressed to gain traction from it. Pretty much anything that is said can/is taken as a slur and in my line of work if you utter one single word out of context you are immediately fired whether the person you are speaking too or not takes it for what it says/meant. We have cerainly been conditioned now and can only see it getting worse. Over here especially at work it is all about Maori people and not about the rest and yes they were here many many years ago but it takes all kind of people to make a country work. I think it was Mo that quit not the club sacking him by the sounds of it. You raise a valid point Sir.

Sorry just read my post again and meant to say I didn't find it racial in the contexts of what was said but yes it could be taken as offensive.

Thanks for the response Fred.

Having thought about this some more, I can see a lawyer arguing that saying "African" country denotes an underlying racist thought, as Ross has just bandied all African countries together, if he'd specified an African country, he may have got away with it in a court of law.

Re: FRED

But is not specifying one country deemed more racist than a generalised area? Can we say ALL muslims are racist or just the ones that come from say Pakistan. Unfortunately there are a lot of racism out there and all walks of life are lumped into one whether they are are there intended comment is or is not. I heard a comment when I first arrived here to an Indian fellow, he was asking if he could do something and a white guy said "I can't see you give us a smile" Having come from England in my workplace it would have resulted in the sack but!!! It was NOT taken as offensive by the person or persons around him was just everyday banter. I was concerned it would be taken that way but I learnt that it was just "black humour" in the nature of our work and accepted by most but it is now going the other way and general banter is not allowed you have to be PC all the time. It is fuelled by social media and the sooner footballers get off it the better. I only use this as can't be doing with the rest of the self pitying, look at me, jump on my band waggon kind of hysteria across the globe. One final point isn't religion the cause of most things racial? which results in war after war after war. Just throwing that out there.
Regards and sensible discussion.
