I'm sorry to bring up old ground but I've been watching from afar, slightly aghast - I'd like to see people who go on about Nani being a bigs girls blouse and it only being a scratch see how they'd react if a stud cut them through to the bone...keyboard warrioring of the worst sort.


Well done Narnia for at least trying to stand up against such unpleasantness.

Keyboard warrioring of the worst kind? We are on a thread about football aren't we? Taking the piss out of a player for crying might be mean, but it's only fucking football for christ's sake! I've no idea why anyone has taken it so seriously, and you don't seem to have an opinion on the whole xenophobic claim Quids? I swear, Sean done the right thing getting off this stupid forum. Christ knows what you'd call it if someone was talking about something that actually mattered.

My legs, especially my shins and knees still bear the scars of my football playing days. I never cried. Not once. I never behaved like a petulant spoilt child throwing his toys out of the pram when I got fouled and I certainly never took a dive.

I've said all along it was a bad tackle that warranted a sending off but Nani's reaction and his behaviour in the past left a lot to be desired.

Can we move on now please?

No Keef I thought yours and Mathews posst were unpleasant, not Xenophobic I agree , but not just 'taking the piss', - and not typical of your postings at all. To be honest you seem quite senstitive about this so I supect you possibly think this youreslf too. As you say, it's a forum FFS so We're welcome to our opinions. I thought Narnia/Declan got a particularly hard time from quite a few on here for standing up against unpleasant posts, although I agree that I don't think you were being xenophobic. If you're going to leave the Forum because of someone who likes you and most of your posts just happens to think you and several others were out of order on this occasion, then it's a pity. The talking point in all the papers I read and what I saw was a disgusting tackle not Nani's reaction - I gave up with proper tribalism at football a long time ago, 'bantering' about an unpleasant injury isn't for me.

No intention of leaving because of anything you said, that is a whole other story.


I am sorry if my posts came across as unpleasant. All my comments were based on what I saw on the day, and what I saw on MOTD, and I thought his reaction was shocking. That was not to defend the tackle in any way (and I never have).


I've just done a google search, and there are some stories suggesting he may be out for a few weeks, and that, if true, is unfortunate, but I still think his reaction lost him a lot of sympathy, and maybe "boy who cried wolf" is appropriate in this scenario.


To be honest you seem quite sensitive about this


That is purely because of the xenophobic thing. I'm not sure if Narnia was trying to be malicious or not, but that little "throw away" comment, annoyed me more than anything has on this thread, or this forum for a long time! You just don't throw words like that around, even if you have read a newspaper article (which I agreed, made some good points).


Xenophobic, and racism may not be the same thing, but for me, they are both equally unpleasant accusations, and yes, I get upset if one is aimed at me. Had the word "racists" been used instead of "xenophobes", there would have been much more of an uproar, and having read that article, I'm not sure the guy who wrote it really knows the difference.


Anyway, I've said my piece.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
