Saturday

[Guest]

Hi guys ,looking forward to Sat as I'm sure you are.

 

Just wondered is it segregated and will be getting the end and some of the side or just the end. I'm only wondering as I liked it in both positions when I came last season.Not sure how many we'll bring.

 

See you there.

The match will be segregated with a small tape seperating the two sets of fans. You'll see it when you get there. You may be allowed a few fans to gain access into the seating area but not to sure about that.

 

Not sure if your lot will be allowed into the bar afterwards but I can't see why not.

 

Anyway neither team has anything to play for so it should be a great game with the st georges day celebrations.

So, I'm afraid you'll probably only get one half of the open terrace behind the goal, and the side up to the stand. This is owing to a combination of gypos at the Canvey game getting us segregated for the rest of the season and the Northfleet end being closed because of saftey...

Be fair Bernard, those were our gypos at the Canvey game. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Racist!

‘Gypo’ is an abbreviated term for a gypsy; if you find this word acceptable then do you also find it acceptable to abbreviate a Pakistani to a Paki?

Yes someone has offended someone else on this forum and it isn't me doing the offending. I've waited so long for this.

Whilst were on the subject, I know a few of you might find this funny but I genuinely don’t like it when people refer to me as a ‘Scot’ instead of a Scotsman or when people call me a postie instead of a postman – It smacks of the most vulgar type of racism to even dare abbreviate somebody’s nationality – almost as bad as living in Nazi Germany.

 

Also I find it offensive when people shorten ‘Northfleet’ to ‘Fleet’; it has racist undertones and is a word favoured by fascists.

You’re a fine one to talk Hamish!

 

I see you have used the phrase ‘nazi’ instead of the correct term ‘National Socialist’.

 

The term ‘Nazi’ is discriminatory against the National Socialist community and has ugly racist undertones.

Political correctness, goes to far. Who to blame....the EU! What a nunch of losers, they undermine our justice system and make stupid laws. eg, they want to change the pint of beer, and make it half a litre!!! 'excuse me landlord, can I have half a decimetre cubed of lager please?'

I wouldn't mind that! Assuming we use the European idea of making the glasses larger than half a litre. You order your half of litre of larger and walk back to your seat in a crowded pub and when you sit down you still have half a litre. Order a pint here, have larger filled to the brim of the glass. Make your way back to your seat in the crowded pub trying hard not to lose a good 5mm of the liquid on to the carpet, peoples shoes etc! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

To be fair, there is a difference between unacceptable racism & over-the-top political correctness?

[The Doctor]

I don't read the Daily Mail, just think it is over the top. Like at school teachers are not allowed to use words like 'brainstrom' because it may offend dislexic(no idea who to spell that) people. Just another example of it.

Yes, but the above comments about political correctness weren't concerning racism, they were about the perceived pernickety regulations of the EU.

The fact is that the Daily Mail carries many stories which carry the message of the tired phrase 'political correctness gone mad'. I was interested to read a while ago that the legendary tale about the EU demanding bananas of a certain curvature was in fact an urban myth. None of this reflects my overall opinion of the EU, it just shows that certain newspapers can be overly keen to repeat the same kinds of stories over and over again.
