How many of those who have posted have sang songs that could be deamed as racist ie “You Belgium w******s get out of our club” or “Katrien is a s*****r” ?? How many have been out with mates and got steaming and had banter with their mates ?
Who actually released the video as it was over a year ago, and why now?
I am sure if it was an issue to the Irish boys they would have sorted it out internally, social media and political correctness is a pain in the arse

How many of us are professional footballers in the spotlight who if something like that got out would make a national newspapers' website.....?

I'll make no secret of the fact that I'm not far left, and that political correctness does my head in endlessly. That said, I still can't help but feel pretty embarrassed that our players come across like absolute chavvy pratts.

And the Sun is a whiter than white newspaper,blokes having a laugh with their mates. Footballers are the same as any of us and have the right to go out and enjoy themselves, it wasn’t posted on social media, it was in a closed group so my concern would be that of who has sent it to the press.

The Sun's credibility has nothing to do with this - they haven't tricked anyone here as far as I'm aware.

It is interesting though that someone thought they would leak this, there must have been some sort of motive behind it

I do wonder if Kennedy and Magennis perceived its banter. It could be seen as quite intimidating for a young player liek Kennedy to have drunk senior players phoning him out of the blue and calling him and insulting his appearance and professional ability.

How do you know it was out of the blue?

I would guess it was a video reply to something he'd said.

No one knows either way do they.

I can't help compare how the players would have behaved on a night out in the thirties and forties. Obviously easy to satirise, but it's a reflection on how the world has changed. Is anyone arguing it's changed in a good way?




Now where did I put my bus pass.....

Well 6 million people aren't being gassed these days based on their ethnicity, women, working class and non white people are given equal rights in this country, whilst homosexuals are no longer criminalised and institutional child abuse no longer tolerated... but yes the world is a far worse place nowdays because drunk wallies film themselves acting up and using controversial language.

Did I say the world was a better place then? I was talking about the way they behaved, not the way nazi Germany behaved. Even so, I doubt the players of that era were any more or less racist than those of today, and they didn't feel the need to behave like absolute bellends on a night out.

How would you know? Id imagine the pro's of the 60's/70's were right dickheads on the piss.

How would I know? Seriously? We know things about our past history by reading about it.
Racism was less of an issue in that era than it is now for a variety of reasons. It did exist of course, and the jews and other groups (including Romanys) were scapegoated by right wing groups for some of the problems of the times, but far less so than in Germany obviously.

WHAT?

We are talking about footballers behaviour outside of the game!

Tbh, peoples parents have never been the subject of any of our ribbing in the past.

Mates take the piss out of each other and their mates Mum shocker. Ffs what a non story.

If you don’t take the piss out of your pals Mum then are they really your pal?

You really think a 34 year old foul mouth moron like Johnson is a pal of Kennedy's ? How can adults not see the difference between" banter with mates" and abuse.The fact that Kennedy used a Religious picture when saying about recovering from his ACL should indicate to you that Johnson and Kennedy aren't from the same planet, let alone mates.

Cause they have a different opinion on the matter to you?

But don't we all love a good waffle though?

Not after Roland took over. Can't stand them anymore.

Didn’t think of that-religious signs means Kennedy is a good person. Roger swears a lot so he is a bad person. They therefore can’t possibly be mates and it is definitely bullying.

Nah more because flat out not liking rap is usually just dog whistle racism. But that’s for another thread.

WHAT THE FUCK???

this is a racism thread, do it here.

Yes because every black person loves rap and those who don't are one step away from being self hating racists.

Deary me.

It's like the oxygen supply has been cut off on this thread and everyone is trying to outdo each other with doolallyness.

I'm off to the takeover thread for some rational sanity.

Wtf. I got mates who are older than me and have different views to me, doesn’t mean we ain’t mates. If that’s what you base your standard of friendship of, all being the same as each other, you must have a boring circle of friends.

This has gone properly mental. This thread has absolutely blown my mind in terms of the insane points and responses. Genuinely
