Miguel Sanchez Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) "haha you told your parents people were putting boot polish on your balls when you were a child and I nearly got the sack" is... an interesting thing to tweet without compunction.

smpar Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Creme Egg advert seems to be getting a bit of gammon attention for featuring a two men kissing over a Creme Egg.Apparently it’s the first advert that has ever been mildly sexualised and people are up in arms over it. It has nothing to do with homophobia, though. Nope. Definitely not. A lot of Maude Flanders-types showing face as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 All I have learned is that Kevin Thomsons use of emojis is like that of a child. Eye bleeding. Imagine going on that twitter page to check if he is someone you want teaching your kid about football [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23][emoji2957][emoji2958] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the emoji use was even more ridiculous than his rantings though. Always disliked him tbh. The type of player who always looked like he went in to hurt the opponent, and only ever when the challenge was already 60/40 in his favour. A wee shitebag steaming in to hurt folk then giving it large to the crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aff on a stretcher and everything. probably hurt his chocolate bones falling down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Thomson never struck me as a particularly objectionable player. There's a terrible culture around football, and a lot of other sports tbh, of this sort of 'banter' and pranks especially among youth teams and players. Friends of our family had a son who was a youth player at one of the Old Firm and he found all that stuff really off putting, half the players seemed to focus more on vandalising other players things than on actually playing. People write it off as banter and the people who don't engage in it as wet wipes but there's a really serious undertone to a lot of it. There's been some cases of people accused of quite serious offences that are wrapped up as this - Peter Beardsley and Graham Rix are two good examples. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Quote "According the lawsuit, players in the class were, among other things, forced to masturbate in front of teammates and coaches and forced to sexually assault teammates, to consume saliva, urine, semen and feces of other players and to sexually engage with animals. It is also alleged that players had heavy objects tied to their genitals, had their genitals dipped in irritants and toxic liquids and had objects such as hockey sticks, brooms and food forced into their anuses. It is also alleged that players were forced to consume large amounts of alcohol and illicit drugs." BANTER 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
