You'll note that I had to bypass the swear filter to post that word, such is the level of social acceptability of it. You would presumably then be happy with a banner across the Moffat Stand tomorrow with the word NIGG*R, provided it was a couple of black guys holding it?

On 30 October 2014, Tonev was given a seven-match ban for "using abusive language of a racist nature". Celtic confirmed that they would appeal the decision, as they believe him to be innocent. Tonev then lost his appeal and Celtic decided not to take the matter any further. It still took till the 27th Aug 2015, 10 months later, before they decided to move Tonev on. IIRC the world's self-styled greatest fans spent the next two seasons or more booing the victim of racist abuse in question for reporting it. I wouldn't expect anything else, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason neither word is allowed through an automated swear filter on a website is because it is commonly used to target minority groups online. If the word "fe**an" wasn't filtered on here it would be used by some people to insult Catholics (or people perceived to be Catholics) in a similar way to how Kyle Lafferty used it. If the same word is used by members of that same minority group, this is clearly not discriminatory. If a group of black Killie fans held up a banner which used that word, then it clearly wouldn't be racist in any way, so I can't see why anyone would find that offensive? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_K_97 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 This is becoming far too tedious, so onwards and upwards. Great win yesterday and over the past month the form has definitely taken an upturn - actually having speed in the team is helping, and yesterday showed that we can grind out results. Yes, County might not have been at their best by any means but what matters is that we held the nerve and got 3 points. While the home form under McInnes is very good we now need to start replicating that away from home and I can think of no better game coming up than McDiarmid on Saturday to do so. Time will tell how much Lafferty is missed in the first team, but if we can keep the current form going up until the WC break and sign a couple of new players as well as offload some dross at the start of January then we'll be absolutely fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 What problems in East Ayrshire. Star striker correctly serving a long term suspension for disgusting bigotry and then beaten by St Johnstone and Livingston consecutively.Is Del the right man to save Kilmarnock from a return to the second tier?If Kilmarnock were to be relegated again, would they make it back up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
