…can someone disconnect Mr Whelan’s telephone, hide his mobile, and unplug his router?
Alternatively, tie him up in his basement until all of this has blown over?
Good old Dave!, He has said Fek Aw again and is not bowing down to the PC brigade.
I hope he sticks to is guns and comtinues to tell the world about our culture, North West working man’s culture,instead of sucumbing to the media lynch mob.
He is honest as the day is long and dare I say it, calls a spade a spade. [reference to the digging implement rather than anything else that the media wants to interpret]
I feel proud to be associated with Wigan Athletic, I feel proud and fortunate to have Dave Whelan as our chairman.He is not a racist and nor am I for supporting him. :angry:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Again, all the comments I read are in support of free speech, especially concerning an old man reminiscing – these PC reporters are beyond belief

He’s said he used to call Chinese people Chingalings – and so did everyone in Wigan.
It used to be okay to drag a woman by the hair into your cave. It used to be okay to drive oxen through the streets. It used to be okay to shoot a Welshman with a bow and arrow if sighted within the walls of Chester. It used to be okay to crap in a chamber-pot and throw it out of your window. It used to be okay to drive your car after a skin-full of ale. It used to be okay to smoke on a bus.
I don’t think for a minute he’s a racist, and I’m not saying I don’t think we live in an overly PC society, but you simply do not say things like that to the national press these days. Times have changed.
With each interview he’s making Wigan look like the insular, stuck-twenty-years-behind-the-rest-of-the-country town that people make jokes about. (If you live / work / socialise outside the borough, you’ll understand this)
It’s embarrassing.
Again, all the comments I read are in support of free speech, especially concerning an old man reminiscing – these PC reporters are beyond beliefMaybe so, but you can’t say what he’s said. That’s the way of the world.
He is either clever or daft im going for clever as he is just showing the fa he is not a racist but a bloke who grew up with these saying. Which he is hoping to get a big fine slap on the wrist and sent on a suitable course.
DW for priminister , sod this crusade against him , i dare anyone in the FA to say they have not said anything the same themselves its a load of bolloxs (can i say that)

He won’t listen to the advice he’s receiving from more PR qualified people at the club, and he doesn’t think what he’s saying is wrong.

Chingalings?
I was born and brought up in Wigan and I never heard anybody call Chinese people “Chingalings”.
He’s bringing shame and embarrassment on both himself and, more importantly, the club. Stupid, stupid man.
DW for priminister , sod this crusade against him , i dare anyone in the FA to say they have not said anything the same themselves its a load of bolloxs (can i say that)The best post for me on this pathetic vendetta against Mr Whelan as everyone of us in the free western world are just as guilty as being racist and anyone who says they have never said the Chinky word are bare faced liars. Fcuk the FA, Wigan now and forever

But would you say this to the national press – knowing that it is offensive to people?If so, you’re as stupid as he is.
People on this forum laugh about how insular Rugby League is, then they demonstrate the ‘fuck everyone else’ attitude that they laugh about.

I don’t think so and your comparisons is a load of tripe. I’ll go and ask my mum who is 84, to turn on my PC and do a bit of net surfing, she’ll not get past settling onto my computer chair. She has had a mobile phone that I bought her 10 years ago and she has not used it once, even though I show her what to do every time I see her.
We are still in the generation whereby our parents and grandparents are stuck in their old ways, Whelan is one of them. Until that generation has died off, we will still hear those comments / phrases that have been common talk for the majority of their lives. Until they have all died off, we will still hear “I’m not going to that blackie doctor, I cant hear what he says” , “What we having for tea a chink or an Indian”, “wheres mi mum gone dad?, shes run off with a black man”.
Me and you will not say any of those things, especially in public, because we know it is seen as racist. Do I think our parents / grandparents are racist? No I don’t, its their culture and they don’t see that these phrases may offend anyone.
That’s the point in question and is what Dave Whelan is trying to explain to the media and is ruffling some feathers up.
I wish all these people who have spent the last few weeks chasing Whelan like a pack of wolves, would put their energy to better use and sift out all the drug dealers and pedophiles FFS. :angry:

You’ve just contradicted your first post!
‘Me and you will not say any of those things, especially in public, because we know it is seen as racist.’
Correct! It is seen as racist, so Mr Whelan should not say it!
If the whole nation was of his generation, then fair enough. Nobody would bat and eyelid.
We know it’s racist, so does most of the country. Therefore, DW, who is in the public eye, should not say it!
