Oh dear, oh dear. This is so awful. How can people who send messages like this live with themselves? What is the world coming to? Forget jihadists in Syria beheading journalists ... this is the real problem that we need to address.

I wish they wouldn't call it a phobia. A phobia is a Fear or a type of anxiety disorder.
In fact many people nowadays don't hate or fear gays, but admit they cringe when they see two men kissing!.
But saying such gets you instantly branded as a "homophobe" because anything criticizing homosexuality (even if on a scientific basis) is instantly met with disdain from the gay and atheist community!..
I'm not going to start a flame war on this sensitive subject, But classing people stereotypical homophobic's, Because they do not like seeing it is wrong really!.

Do the LMA also represent Directors of Football? If not, are they perhaps planning on, in public at least*, going to try to throw Moody under the bus?
*Obvuiously, the FA will know who sent which messages, but in the court of public opinion, if the LMA are only interested in protecting Mackay, they (and Mackay) could try to suggest the offensive texts/emails came from Moody, and he was simply the recipient.

Can you only concentrate on one subject at a time then?

Trying to read between the lines here, judging by the LMA statement it looks like Moody will be shown as responsible for the vast majority of the racist, sexist and homophobic messages.
And how exactly does the word "atrocious" apply in this case? A few words which were meant to be communicated in private. The world needs to man up.
The thing is this whole episode is not worth one minute of anyone's time. A perfect example of non-news.

Got to agree with you here. It's one thing if you publish stuff on Twitter or Facebook, but seriously, shouldn't private texts be immune from scrutiny. None of what has been written is illegal; they just shows some unpleasant viewpoints that a man or woman are free to have in this country.

That is debatable. The two were discussing potential employees in one text, "Not many white faces amongst that lot but worth considering" - it is illegal to discriminate in employment matters on the basis of race and the word "but" suggests that were the option there white individuals would be given preference.

Interesting rumour just heard from my Palace mate, regarding the new manager 'meet the new boss, same as the old boss' with credits to the Who, don't shoot the messenger

Wishful thinking by your 'Palace mate'?
On the other hand, given the twists and turns in this saga perhaps it shouldn't surprise us if Parish went crawling to Pulis and begged him to come back.
Picking through the wreckage of the last week or so it seems absolute madness to not to resolve their differences and let him walk away in the first place. The question is would Pulis want to come back?
Either way it doesn't reflect well on Parish.

The League Managers' Association has apologised for the wording of its statement defending Malky Mackay over allegations that he sent text messages of an offensive nature.
It originally said two text messages sent by Mackay were "disrespectful of other cultures" but defended them as "friendly text message banter".
That had provoked widespread criticism from anti-discrimination campaigners.
