Exactly.
So posters here are fuming because Duffy holds an opposite view, on a situation he has lived through, to their own.
Very sad indeed.

You may not agree with his views, or the way he campaigns, but he has done a huge amount for LGBT rights over the years. I heard him interviewed by Nick Robinson last year - it's worth a listen.

A spokesperson for the Football Association said: "We were made aware of the allegations and investigated. We wrote to the player last month to warn him about his future conduct."

With a lot of Irish folk in my family and me with a liking for Irish girls I have spent a lot of time talking about the troubles with people who were involved from their side.
Shane's "views" are pretty mild from what I've heard. Some of them really hate us, some with good reason, some because they're dicks. I wouldn't post any of those opinions on the Internet though. But, good as he is, Duffy is clearly a bit thick, so allowances should be made.

perhaps the answer to this type of journalism is that members of public who see this 'cheapo' articles written and their associated witch hunt should then trawl the depths of history about the journalist themselves. Because as we all know none of them, or us has a 100% squeaky clean past do they/we?

This. I started life as a Liverpool fan before being educated at the Goldstone.

Ha ha, reminds me of when met some of my in laws for the first time in the old Emerald, on way back from pub they showed me the monument to ‘freedom fighters’ killed by ‘British colonial forces’. I meekly responded with, ‘we call them something else back home and there’s two sides to every story’

I know I know, I was young and foolish and my dad wasn’t interested in football. Fortunately a close family friend who was saw what was happening and started taking me to the goldstone with his kids. The rest as they say is history. Very nearly ended up supporting Middleborough too on account I finished them first in my Panimi sticker album...there but for the grace of god and all that!

That was a close shave, nearly going to the dark side
Very! It just goes to show how easy it is for kids to fall into drugs, alcohol, gangs, Palace etc if parents don’t understand things like the internet, social media, football and so forth. Government needs to tackle this sort of thing at an earlier age and provide more funding

...as mentioned earlier, the Andre Grey thing .... which was far more severe .... Grey was on the radio after Liverpool fans dragged it up and was contrite, open and honest (and sounded a bit dim). Stupid youngsters say/tweet/post stupid things from time to time.

...and Peter Tatchell smell of cum.

Whew! Thank L.Ron! Not another Boro lover.
Which is precisely why I’ve told one of my kids, currently at uni, who has decided to become a teacher to thoroughly check her FB and Twitter accounts to see if she’s written something that she may later regret. If so, I’ve advised her to delete the accounts and, if she really feels she has to, create new ones.
We never had these issues when we were kids - our ludicrous teenage ramblings remained private, remembered only by the folk we were with at the time who had happened to be sober.
