    Like a trap door spider. I did not resort to calling them jesus christ and asking if they were for real. Just suggested their choice of words was incorrect.

    The choice of words wasn’t incorrect . They selected the colour fire from a Colour chart .

    I don't think you were called Jesus Christ. It was an exclamation like Bloody Hell or Gordon Bennet. Don't flatter yourself.

    So what do you want Keefly? Shall we censor the word fire? Maybe make it the F word?

    Calm down. It was my own response to the post. I am not advocating any blanket censorship of any word.

    Calm down? You're the one who tried to start a pile on because someone mentioned the word fire. Glad nobody else is on your wavelength. Reflect on that (pal).

    I am calm, I'm not the one showing faux outrage over the use of the word fire to describe the colour of a seat.

    It was me who copied and pasted the colour chart which described one colour as ‘fire’! Hands up! I still think the colour is a good approximation to what I consider to be amber.

    You have to be very careful about the use of language, to avoid offending people.

    However here is a report on the City website from an old game, ‘Sub Jordy Hiwula had a chance to fire City in front late on after a forceful drive into the box but his effort was held at the second attempt by Archer’. https://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/news/2017/january/bradford-city-1-millwall-12/

    My use of bold/underline.

    Personally I think it was an appropriate use of the word, which had been used by a commercial company, to describe a product.

    Elequently put Rod. I have a simpler description, Keefly was just being a massive fanny.

    “Agree, id personally go for fire’ was the quote ?

    i do think it could have been worded a bit better.

    I am not personally offended (or to quote a ‘fanny’) but would question how could the club could ever chose seats with that name.

    the context is seats in a stadium where people died in a fire.

    So for me it is a little bit insensitive/thoughtless just to say it off the cuff like that but accept it wasn't meant that way.

    The club didn't choose it, it was a completely unrelated colour chart used to describe the colour of the seat after it had been questioned. From the chart "fire" in the posters opinion was the closest match to the colour of the seat and looking at the chart it clearly is a very close match. (oops, should I refrain from using the word match?)

    How exactly would you have liked him to "word it better"? Perhaps giving the RGB code so no one had a clue what he was on about?

    The fire happened, everyone has their own way of dealing with it but if you're wanting to invent offense and faux outrage about loosely connected words in posts then I'd politely suggest they won't be coming from Dubois or any other regular user of the forum.

    Not inventing anything just to set you straight there, just think ‘id personally go for fire’ was a bit crass and clumsy

    Fair enough, so again I'll ask the question.

    Given "fire" on the chart was a very close match to the colour of the actual seat, how exactly would you have worded it differently to offer the same opinion?

    I'm all ears here because it's potentially a good learning curve for me considering I'm really struggling to understand how the comment could be considered crass, insensitive, offensive or even clumsy.
