Yes, I get that, but was responding to the suggestion that it has been used before in a way that takes it beyond a mere label for Rangers fans. Anyway, I think it's ludicrous that people get animated over this. My personal view is that the term has attracted condemnation, largely in an attempt to create an equivalence with other slurs, that I don't find altogether convincing. However, it's not my call. If it's deemed offensive, it's terribly easy for me not to use it. Why some people on here seem prepared to fight to the death to preserve a right to use the word, I don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebowski Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I don’t view Tim as offensive and I don’t think any Celtic supporter does. It probably is the equivalent though, the **** are just more sensitive. It's not that T word... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye we'll take him off you for £6m m8. We want it all up front though. Give us a call when that share issue is complete. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 7 hours ago, Lebowski said: It's not that T word... They have two other T words - one rhymes with harrier and the other with Craig. Both seem to be more like DOB rather than the h-word. I think we just don’t go in for religious slurs to the same extent. Tbh though the first I’ve only ever seen used online and the second I wasn’t really aware of (even though I went to non-denominational school and wound folk up by wearing Celtic scarves and Betis tops) until I met Northern Irish people at uni. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, but for a team in desperate need of defenders and forwards, the signing of 2 midfielders and a goalkeeper doesn't do much to solve the problem. If rumours on Twitter are anything to go by, the signing of Skrtel for £2.7m is practically a done deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
