I took it as a joke?FishCostaFortune said:Does cafc4life have previous over this sort of thing? If only their was a list I could easily refer to which could manage my expectations before I go to bed.3 -
Not sure I get what you’re saying here.addick1956 said:
I worked in Africa and it was acceptable. One day shortly after artiving catching the sun on a beach I asked an African colleague if he had seen a certain person . He asked me if he was Black , White or Pink like me where I had caught the sun. It certainly isn't PC to describe someone as Blsck or White or Asian.JamesSeed said:
I ran a reggae record label for ten years, so I know the language that is and isn’t acceptable to black people.addick1956 said:
You have just been very un PC. Besides which whst description would you use assuming you used one, as you just did ?JamesSeed said:
Ask any black people you know, not me. 👍addick1956 said:
Why would that be ?JamesSeed said:
It isn’t un pc to say a player is black.DOUCHER said:
have a think about it Elliot, you seem a reasonable chap - hasn't all the talk today been about kirk signing - well, a new player has been training with the team - people seem to think if a player signs, he does a medical, trains then does photoshoot so surely adding the player is black gives a bit more info than not saying it - why on earth i wouldn't say it just shows how f&&ked up things are now with all this PC nonsense.ElliotCAFC said:
I know what you mean, but it’s no more descriptive than saying a player is blonde.DOUCHER said:
isn't black a bit more descriptive ?LargeAddick said:
if you wanted to be really PC you could have said 'a new player was training with the team today'.DOUCHER said:can confirm that a, how should i say it, to be totally PC - here goes anyway, lets hope ive got it right - ' a new black player was training with the team today' so ...
If it was Charlie Kirk training, would you say “a new white player was training today”?
Not saying you’re being racist at, all by the way. Great that we’ve got something to be excited about
Very sad about Kirk’s dad passing. RIP.1 -
I am talking absolute shit, just like everyone else has been on this thread for weeks.35

Agree it’s probably the last thing on his mind at the moment but just for clarity Crewe to Sheffield is a poxy journey over the Pennines although only 58 miles takes about an hour and forty minutes.ElliotCAFC said:
I think moving clubs will be the furthest thing from his mind for a few weeks. It’s a strange one, he may feel the best thing is to stay at Crewe for the next 6 months, but as he’s out of contact you can assume Crewe will be desperate to sell him in this window.JamesSeed said:Hopefully Kirk will know that he’ll be warmly welcomed by fans and well looked after at Charlton, if he does sign. Tracey is exactly the sort of person who could help him settle in while he’s going through a difficult time, and Adkins the perfect manager.I think it will go down to the last few days of the window and if any clubs near by come in (Sheffield United), he’ll go there.Depends of course if he lives / stays the right side of both locations and of course is much closer than London. Stoke or one of the North West Championship teams would be better for him if the financial package meets his requirements.0 -
Imagine it turned out to happen now 😂.cafc4life said:I am talking absolute shit, just like everyone else has been on this thread for weeks.5 -
Yeah, you’re right. Stoke would be a much better comparison.RedChaser said:

Madger Gomes, Lionel Messi, Romelu Lukaku0

I think you'll find he looked exactly like this (he refers to himself as dark brown by the way not black):DOUCHER said:
its the only descriptor i have atm - i've gone back for more - as long as he's not slow and ginger i don't see what the problem isBelv said:
Oh come on, if he had just said “A new player was training today” everyone on here naturally would have asked what he looked like and obviously he would have then been described as black, short/tall or whatever.LargeAddick said:
could have said short, tall, left footed, forward, winger etc. Just don't see how his colour is relevant.DOUCHER said:
isn't black a bit more descriptive ?LargeAddick said:

There is clearly nothing in what Doucher has said, just trying to be as descriptive as he could.

I've got an actual rumour, the source of which I have no idea but you know, this is the place to chat shite anyway. We've tabled a loan bid for Jordan Garrick from Swansea. Have to admit I don't remember him playing for Swindon last season.15

Signed for Swindon on loan at the start of February, so presumably he was DJs replacement.cafcfan1990 said:I've got an actual rumour, the source of which I have no idea but you know, this is the place to chat shite anyway.

That's a shame, that would've hopefully been a shortcut to DJ making more friends at Charlton and his performances getting even betterScoham said:

Crewe fans calling our club a sideways move is a bit of a kick in the bollocks!

If Kirk wants to go sit on the bench at Sheff Utd then lets move on.......who's next on the list we want so a championship club or Ipswich can steal them from under our noses?

19 appearances 2 goals 2 assists. Thing that worries me the most is that he’s not featured for any of Swansea's pre season games. Surprising if he’s that far away and 23 years old they’re not looking to sell him.cafcfan1990 said:I've got an actual rumour, the source of which I have no idea but you know, this is the place to chat shite anyway.

Also seen Sandgaard like a tweet saying RIP to Kirks dad. Can look into that as much as we want. Could be liking it as he’s being nice or because he knows he will be our player and being nice.0

Don’t think we were in for him after getting Dobson but I know he was discussed at length earlier in the window. One to cross off the list.0

Before we announce the 3 incomings we are getting this week.... can someone let me know who the two players we were told would sign for us "by the weekend" were?
