Think he should make all the press pay for entry & refreshments tomorrow; chase the “freeloaders” out of town.
Let’s hope that pork pies are off tomorrows free buffet for the media; otherwise they may twist it into something more sinister.
So this fella who changed Cardiff’s identity by changing to red which is lucky in his own country disrespecting the Cardiff fans and discriminating against their wishes now brands Mr Whelan and I quote “a racist chairman hiring a racist manager”
Now forgive me if I’m wrong but I thought that neither of them had been charged and convicted of the said offences. What happened to innocent before proven guilty?
Lawyers at the ready.
I strongly suspect that Malky has learned his lesson and has not said anything racist, sexist or Homophobic during his short time at Wigan.
Now on the other hand, he allegedly did those things whilst manager of Cardiff. So, in theory, Mr Tan hired a racist, Big Dave has not. :whistle:[/quote]Good point JR.
Whelan is old school and set in his ways which isn’t a crime in my view! Loads of people of that ilk still say ‘Chinky’ instead of Chinese when talking about Chinese takeaways, I know I do! Loads of folk still refer to Jewish people being careful with money, why is that offensive? I have told a few ‘Jewish’ jokes over the years! There is an issue with the homophobic and racist remarks though that cannot simply be brushed under the carpet. The FA should make a decision on what they are going to do and quickly, then we can get on with the game of football!
Because the “Jews” and the “Chinks” find it offensive, that’s why!!!
Listen, I’m no PC prude and I use that kind of language all the time. But I am not the public face of a major public institution whose every word is analysed and pulled to pieces.
I really have no issue with me, you or him saying these things in the privacy of his own home but he surely needs to realise that – whether we like it or not – society no longer deems that kind of language/attitude to be acceptable.[/quote]
Privacy – it doesn’t exist; ask Malky, his texts are a private non verbal conversation.
So saying that some Jewish people are tight fisted is racist ? the same comment that has, still and will be the butt of alot of old jokes for generations to come.It’s the same type of joke used regarding Irish been thick. So are we to ban all the “Paddy” jokes ?.
I was speaking with a friends Dad this morning (he’s 80’odd) an orthodox jew regarding Whelans comments. He chuckled and agreed with Whelan’s comment saying he’s not far off the mark as he (himself) is as tight as a sharks backside at a 100 fathoms.So is this guy racist ????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2W8aGgmn1AI’m sorry but I couldn’t help myself but chuckle at this sketch. Gosh, does that make me racist or open minded ? It’s getting ridiculous and out of control.
It proves nothing of the sort.It just proves that foreign players are generally cheaper.
Don’t agree at all. A racist would increase his Kudos amongst certain circles by putting policy into practice. Anyway, I have to question your use of foreign in reference to a person; we are all equal human beings and your adjective of foreign only serves to start the separation.
I couldn’t care less what the media or fans of other clubs think about us. TBH I prefer being hated. As a Wigan rugby fan you get used to it.
Yes but the rugby team are hated for their success.
We will be hated for demonstrating what an insular little club we are, and whose chairman – basically, the figurehead of the club – supports racist views.
He may have apologised, but the damange has been done no matter how much back-tracking and grovelling he’s conducting throught the press.
It’s hard enough attracting sponsors to the club without Mr Whelan’s comments. Now they are withdrawing their support.
I’m sure a lot of people have thought the things Mr Whelan said, but that’s they are not the sort of things to be said to the national media.
I’ve supported Whelan in the past and been one of his biggest defenders, but this time he has overstepped the mark and his comments are going to cost the club money, supporters, and reputation.[/quote]
So are you going tomorrow ?
Another holier than thou self righteous bunch of so called do gooders.No skeletons in your cupboard Mr Martin Lindsay Mensforth.
If diversity is the name of the game, how come your video sales add doesn’t put into practice your so called company ethos. Answer: because a sexy blonde bird in a short skirt sells better. Very subtle double standards if you ask me.
So does Mr Mensforth extend this ethos / principle to his customer base, supply chain and employees ? Probably not, otherwise he might find it difficult to operate his business. It’s probably a cheap way that the hypocrit can increase the media exposure of Premier Range. Must be plenty people out there thinking: who the hell are Premier Range; and then go check out their website; thus objective achieved.
Now looking forward to Saturday with renewed enthusiasm. As my saying goes: today is the first day of the rest of the season.
If it’s a full house, you can always sit in Lisa Nandy’s seat ( she won’t be needing it, nor is she welcome ).
Interesting that Whelan says he “applied” as opposed to being contacted direct by Whelan …
Yep, and he way well have been encouraged to apply.
As for the knob from “WAFC – The Religion” who has issued an open latter on “behalf of Wigan Athlectic fans” saying that said fans don’t what Mackay – er, do one! What gives you the right to speak for anyone else?
Fortunately, i suspect it highly unlikely that Mssrs Wheland and Jackson spend very little time anywhere near his blog.[/quote]
A miracle – I agree with Griff for once !
Although yes we are in a bad position, the beauty of this league is win a few games & your right back at the good end of the table.Hail, top six Malky !!!!!!
The thing is most of us can remember Grant Holt being a useless piece of shite last season, and he was! The thing is Rosler asked him to lose weight and he did, he asked him to work harder in training and he did and he asked him to move up here and he didn’t. If the latter request being turned down was the reason for him being ostracized from the whole squad then one must question the actions of the man in charge! Can he become a true pie eater? A humble pie eater!
From what I have heard, that is the reason he has been sent out on loan.
He apparently had it written in his contract he signed under Coyle that he could commute from Carlisle as part of the agreement to signing for us.Rosler didn’t like this arrangement and told him unless he moved nearer to Wigan he would never play for us again.
If this is true then Rosler is a bigger prick than we all think.
I know Holt didn’t set the world on fire when he did play, but he didn’t play many games and was injured early on here at Wigan.
When came back after the summer he was a lot fitter and slimmer.I am sure he could still do the job we need him to do, score fucking goals.
I don’t want my centre forward running his bollox off down the wings etc, I want him in the fucking box either laying it off to his fellow striker or banging the fucking ball in the net.[/quote]Eloquently put Horc, and I’m sure the majority of those reading this agree with that sentiment – I know I do.[/quote]
I apologize for the colourful language, but the whole situation really gets on my nerves.
Grant Holt did not become a bad striker overnight. He was being linked to the England squad just a few months before we signed him along with Ricky Lambert. I am not saying he is as good as Lambert. but they are very similar.Rosler should ask himself the following questions.
Would he have done any worse than the strikers we play at the moment?
Would he have scored less than any of them?
With him in the team would any one of the others playing along side him have scored more?
Do you think we would be where we are in the table now if he had been up front with one of the others playing off him?[/quote]Did you think that you were in the West Stand with that language! Football fans should be seen and not heard ! In that stand you are allowed the occasional round of applause and the odd dribble from your incontinent penis when things get a little exciting! :)[/quote]
It’s too much hard work to occasionally applaud for 90% of the West Standers.
It is however, a lot warmer, there is more leg room, more room on the concourse and it’s less busy in the bogs for changing our incontinent pads at half time, so it’s not all bad.[/quote]
You forgot the better class of tottie in the West Stand; not that we notice !
Would be nice if Jordi sticks one finger up at Judas and scores the winner tomorrow. Get down to the bookies tomorrow and risk a pony.
Two pieces of local knowledge:
Albert’s lawnmower resides in the Lawn Mower Museum @ Southport.
BanglaFusion; about two years ago they were temporarily closed when a dog’s toe nail was found in one of the curries, I believe.
