It just occurred to me when I saw the 4 names mentioned by Warnock and I thought it was worth mentioning. I say this with respect to you. If you had looked at the full picture and not just focused on that comment alone then I honestly don't think it was worth mentioning. And you would agree. The number of non-white players he has signed during his 12 months here, the high praise of our two black full backs and fact he has said Dijksteel like a son to him who he invites to his house for food etc. This is before we even get on to fact Bolasie and NML they primart reason for signing for us is Warnock. Former said NW probs managed him through best part of his career and he loved playing for him. So no i don't think it was worth mentioning if all had been considered.

I certainly wish I hadn’t mentioned it, I really didn’t expect such a big reaction and such venom from people on here. Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't think you'd get a reaction to an obviously race baiting comment? Come on man, you're old enough to know what you were doing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We all make mistakes so best thing to do is learn from it. However, you cant go around making baseless labels (or in your case indirectly claiming) someone might have racist tendencies when there no evidence to suggest it does not and not expect a reaction. Being wrongly labelled or it being indirectly implied you are a racist does not and should not affect just the person. It should affect any person with a conscious hence why people rightly defended Neil Warnock on that. Even those posters who are not a fan of his as a manager. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Well with BLM still fresh in peoples' memories and with the number of footballers getting racist abuse on social media, I think its something most just don't find funny anymore. Best all round just to steer well clear of those sort of jokes, even if there's no malicious intent. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Oh man, reading the last few pages of this thread is worse than watching a Warnock football team play. For the record I think Warnock has more in common with a Sloth than a technically gifted footballer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,218 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Let's get away from the daft stuff over the last couple of pages. Diggerlad, who are the players you've heard about? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
