[News] Alan Sugar in the sh*t !!

[Icy Gull]

If that post is genuine, then he has been a monumental bell-end for posting it, and deserves all the shit coming his way.

I can't even be arsed to go into the actual connotations of the image -more just how dense you'd be in his position, to post that on a public forum.

How could it possibly be worth the drama?

I am not sure he’ll give a shit what you and others think tbh

Edit apparently he does and has now deleted it

 

[Hampden Park]

i should think he has deleted it, no pictures of watches tsk tsk

Quality.

Only on NSC can Russ Abbott be used as a defence against racism.

and never realised Alf Garnett was a satirical parody.

 

[T.G]

I feel there is a deep non-white hole in my life. My bleak and bland existence is pitiful without the ability to make stomach achingly funny stereotypes based on a person’s colour or ethnicity. Everything is so vanilla help me

True. Bushy's going to struggle to defend this though:

 

[wellquickwoody]

Of course you don't think it's racist. I mean, it only plays on a racial stereotype, what's racist about that?

Stereotypes exist for a reason, whether based upon race, creed, colour, sexuality, politics, geography, history, religion or whatever. It does not make anything 'ist', unless you like to be offended of course?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Fine margins. If Frankie Boyle or Jimmy Carr had tweeted "I swear the Senegal keeper sold me a Rolex in Ibiza last summer" no one bats an eyelid and plenty have a chuckle.

Laziness? Ignorance?

 

[brakespear]

7/2 His FB account is managed for him, and he will launch an investigation immediately
3/1 His account was hacked
14/1 His phone posted it all by itself

I make a) odds on favourite.

None of this (for once) - he took the blame and said he had 'misjudged' his earlier tweet.

Would they? Sounds like something off 'The Comedians' in the 70s.

 

[Baker lite]

I’m offended on someone’s behalf,just not sure who.

Ridiculously in my opinion View attachment 97900

Foolish thing to do

Changing the subject slightly, did you see what the S Korea coach did and said?

South Korea's coach says he made his players wear different numbered shirts in recent friendlies to confuse opponents who he says cannot tell them apart.

Only Tottenham forward Son Heung-min and captain Ki Sung-yueng wore their usual shirts against Bolivia and Senegal earlier this month, claimed Shin Tae-yong.

"We switched them around because we didn't want to show our opponents everything and to try and confuse them," said Shin.

"They might know a few of our players but it is very difficult for Westerners to distinguish between Asians and that's why we did that.

Is this racist to westerners or is this reverse racism or stereotyping....I'm not sure which?

 

[Baldseagull]

Maybe if you don’t come from a fanatically pc back ground, you might see it as vaguely amusing. If that is the Senegal team then anyone who travels to The Med in summer will know that the vast majority of beach sellers in Spain are very chatty non pushy Senegalese people. Is he really in the shit for posting this?

I get the joke, it is a racist joke.

Odds on Brexit means Brexit?

1. Well it's how they've both been making a living for the last decade.

2. Anything from 'The Comedians' in the 70s' would have been far more racist, and probably have involved bananas, using trees to get to work and getting them out of the wardrobe with a chocolate biscuit.

Apologies.

"You lost, get over it" - 6/1

 

[Petee]

I found it funny.

 

[GT49er]

The Senegal football team, perhaps? Has anybody shown them this, and, if so, are they actually offended? Has anyone asked them, or do they not get a say anyway?
