Wow, what a angry melon head you are !
You do realise pikey is a racist term don’t you ?

This is from Wikpedia.


In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the definition became even looser and is sometimes used to refer to a wide section of the (generally urban) underclass of the country (in England generally known as chavs), or merely a person of any social class who "lives on the cheap" such as a bohemian.  It is also used as an adjective, e.g. "a pikey estate" or "a pikey pub". Following complaints from Travellers' groups about racism, when the term was used by presenter Jeremy Clarkson as a pun for Pike's Peak in the television programme Top Gear, the Editorial Standards Committee of the BBC Trust ruled that, in this instance, the term merely meant "cheap".[17] In doing so, it justified the ascribed meaning by quoting the Wikipedia article for the term.[18

It is clear that there is “no intended racist reference” by Sheebo. Whilst the word ‘pikey’ has evolved into common parlance among a number of people to mean ‘chavvy’ or ‘cheap’, NSC readers will not necessarily associate it with the Gypsy and Traveller communities.

Clear as mud I’d say ???

..... anyway, as we appear to be closing that gap and showing some great form, I assume we're all looking forward to the "Derby", I wonder what reference the media will attach to it this time? Given we're all "supporting from home" it may be the Suburbia v Seaside Derby? Conurbation v Countryside Derby?

I think the most telling part of this is “ in this instance “
Would the Editorial Standards Committee of the BBC have acted the same way if it wasn’t their prize presenter ?
When i or other Palace fans are told to f**k off back to your caravans, or a pikey this or that, i’m sure i know whats intended.
Its very juvenile, and probably best left in the 1970’s.

In this instance he doesn't mention Caravans. As he seems to be talking about your phrasing rather than you.

Can we have a poll to ban SE20, his contribution to NSC is simply to provoke trouble and cause friction with fellow posters.

Several Palace fans on the board add to conversation but not SE20, please just kick him off (that's my vote cast already).

It will fall on deaf ears so don't waste your time. They are protected by the mods for whatever reason.

Hold on, i’ve called someone out for using a racial slur, and i’m the troublemaker ?
Ok, answer this question, and i won’t post any more on this thread,
Is the using of the word pikey acceptable ? Yes or No ?

You are just an odious individual and not welcome, I'm not going to get involved in your petty squabbles.

There's no point. I'll just wait for your next poor run of results and you two gutless individuals will disappear once more until fortunes change again.
There is no point engaging you further as it's a complete waste of time.

With regard to this thread original title, [MENTION=25756]Se20[/MENTION] ‘s biggest fear is if he gets banned from NSC.
How on Earth would he fill the hours he obviously spends dissecting this board for the slightest hint of controversy.
