staggy1929 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 The Ross County forum is borderline sickening at this point if I'm honest. People only finding issue with Courts showing the T-shirt and nothing else. Any sort of negative comment about the club or manager means you're a Caley supporter as well apparently. The club has always had out of touch fans who don't really understand modern views on certain subjects but this is the worst I've seen it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a strong argument just to leave them to it but I think it's important to provide balance so I'm continuing to chip in occasionally, even if it's not appreciated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've seen you chip in a few times, far too sensible for the majority on there. I don't post on there because I know if I did I'd become a seething mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Tbf every single club forum is a breeding ground of morons and dregs. Aberdeens AFC Chat site is one of the worst going for homophobic abuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Every club has good and bad. There is a brain donor behind me who boos taking the knee every week. He's also a man in what looks like his early 50s whose weekly hilight appears to be taking cheap speed on a Saturday afternoon and wearing fake designer gear from the 90s so I feel sorry for him more than anything.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general consensus is "we're playing okay football, let's forget the racism". Which is depressing as hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggie52 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I was strongly in the camp that says everyone deserves a chance to show these changed. He’s clearly had his chance and blew it. This was a club I was proud to support, with the emphasis on was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I don't get, is that this was an ideal opportunity to prove he was a reformed character. All he needed to do was condemn racism outright, and to say he fully supported any investigation. That was all. Had he done that, I think a lot of people might have thought he had learned from what he did all those years ago. As it is, he still has never shown any repentance for what he did, and his statement after the game on Saturday show, at least to me, that he has learned f**k all. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worrying thing is, the club, McGregor, Ferguson, anyone with a modicum of sense should have recognised that and jumped at it. I hope it was incompetence, but worry it wasn’t. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
