Kit 2018/19

Whether you, Edin or anybody else like it or not, social media is here to stay and a business relying on the goodwill and patronage of the public needs to have an effective strategy in place to handle it. Other than all communication through the official channel, City don’t appear to have one. If your customers expect instant communication then you had better to have a strategy in place to deal with it. Whether you like it or not, that’s the case.

 

Good balanced post until the highlighted part, our last owners got plenty of stick and they were Bradford lads, I don't think many use the fact that they are German to make a point...of course until you did.

 

Sorry but the past few months have been full of references to Germans there are clearly a number of people on the forums have an issue with this

 

You’re 100% right mate. It’s put me off coming on here tbh, because it’s just the same old fishwives bickering with each other over feck all. Total nonsense. I’d rather watch Love Island. Roll on the start of the season.

 

It is a very small number on here, or the MODs would have called them out for racism.

 

It was going well until that comment .

 

Bit too raunchy for you eh you keep on watching your daytime shows - murder she wrote, Columbo and Miss Marple - then nipping on here whilst the adverts are on #adayinthelifeofdave

 

Yes I'm an old fasioned guy mate, I don't see the point in the show if you put 20 or so young attrative girls and boys together they are going to do what comes naturally (act like dogs on heat) I find very little entertainment in that.
Very similar to Geordie Shore foul mouthed young people on a reality show swearing at each other, some call it entertainment, unfortunatly I don't but it must get good ratings to keep it on.

 

If there are Mods trying to defend that language (whilst warning the likes of Ricc, Bronco and myself for less), then they don’t deserve to have that ‘power’. KK has even admitted he has warned him about some of his name-calling, but he’s been doing it for months now and anyone else would have been banned let alone warned by now.

 

Any idea how long the queue currently is? Many camp out?

 

Even today some referred to 'the Serbian'.

And yet you try and tell me that it is not a problem.

 

I don't think it's a problem in racist or xenophobic terms. it might be an ill advised use, but it's used as a descriptor of the bloke, because it's a distinguishing feature.

 

Poppycock and you know it!

 

beg to differ.

 

It is xenophobic IMO, what's the fact he is Serbian got anything to do with him running the club? We all know who Edin is, he doesn't need a "distinguishing feature."

 

I just don't think it is. I don't think it makes a blind bit of difference whether he's German, English, Scottish, Dutch, Brazilian or an Alien to be honest.

I think it's used as a descriptor. much like everyone calls Mason pointy shoes, or referred to Mark Lawns weight.

 

You are seriously trying to have us believe that references to 'the German' or the Serbian' (done because of his last name?) are acceptable because 'hat us what he is and there are no racist or other undertones?

I would gladly accept your explanation if there were any other examples whereby we referred to ANYONE ELSE by their ethnic origin on this or other forums.

It's racist whatever way you look at it.

Yet this forum accepts it when said against Edin whereas we would not if it was anyone else.

over to you.....

 

He's Bosnian not Serbian.

 

what has Mark Lawn's weight got to do with him running the club? everyone knows who Mark Lawn is, he didn't need a distinguishing feature either, but he was still routinely mocked or referred to by his weight.

whats James Mason footwear got to do with his job, or how he carrys out his job? it doesn't, and everyone knows who he is, but he's still referred to as pointy shoes.
