ajw10 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Have you found the quotes where he wanted us to sign Kevin Doyle? They're probably my favourites. Couple of years ago now. Yeah, because I said that he would be a better option than Chamakh and Bendtner. Amazing that after all this time you still haven't grasped this. Don't forget this January where he was furious that we didn't sign Mitroglu or a Mitroglu Again, I said that I felt like we should have signed a Mitroglu TYPE player as we were lacking in squad depth upfront and I wanted a short term fix to see us through until this season. Hardly outlandish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Funke Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Nothing, they just don't like the fact he stirs up a bit of controversy. The mods banned me for a questionable posting style before; with a message "you've got 7 days to change or we'll ban you" or something of that ilk. The mods here are trash.

llama3 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yeah, because I said that he would be a better option than Chamakh and Bendtner. Amazing that after all this time you still haven't grasped this. Says the person who thinks Giroud is useless and thinks we should be aiming for better than him? But Doyle to improve on the reserve dross we had is ok? Changeable standards there.

You could have a better first choice than Giroud and you could have a better backup than Chamakh/Bendtner. Not exactly rocket science Except he wants Giroud replaced, as there is little point signing a back up, he should be improved upon, but the logic was reversed when he wanted Doyle as a back up, not to improve the main striker.

Peterj Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Dont you guys think it might be more sensible to just lock the thread rather than infracting people who make negative comments about forum moderation in it? If you keep these kind of threads open its unreasonable to expect everyone just to toe the party line and the infractions on the face of it look harsh. Yid is an offensive word and the fact it has been adopted by some Spurs fans (in the same way the N word has by some black people) doesnt change its pejorative intent or connatations IMO. I have been a moderator on a forum myself and know it can be a pretty thankless task but you really are making life hard for yourself here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That surely should be enough? I raise you the Tottenham Hotspurs Supports Trust, MET Police and the Populus independent survey of THFC season ticket holders, where 73% of Jewish respondents (ie, the ones who would have any reason to take offence) were in support of the term being used in their chants. Some people taking offense is not enough - there has to be intent to cause the offense or else anyone could be prosecuted for just about anything.
