Manager gets sacked for only being 2nd in the league. Self entitled ImAFanny fucks. I'm gutted he's been sacked.
Despite the racist slur.Manager gets sacked for only being 2nd in the league. Self entitled ImAFanny fucks. I'm gutted he's been sacked.
Not at all racist but genuinely gutted he's gone. He was our best chance of finishing 2nd. No doubt they'll now have the inevitable kick on from a new management teamDespite the racist slur.
Your assertion is basically right.In his second period as Celtic manager, he has achieved five trophy successes, to add to his three League titles and two Scottish Cup victories in his first period as manager. Only in this wee country.

I agree. For me the best of Lennon's time at Hibs was summed up by his reaction to our defeat by Aberdeen in the 2017 cup semi-final. I suspect a lot of Hibs fans would have been reasonably happy after a good cup run (including beating Hearts) and a gallant defeat, Lennon by contrast was furious at missing a great chance to get to the final. We need a bit more of that attitude at our club.I liked Lennon, and his desire tae be a winner. Yes long term his man management was perhaps his achilles heel. Or is it that modern players are a bit sensitive.
Probably a bit of both. Anyway his time and style of management are no more.
If I was Celtic , I would go get Frank Lampard, young hungry ,plays good football.
I wish Lennon well , he was a character ,we have few of them in Scottish fitba.
(and bizarrely I hear some of the Ibrox loyal are upset about the racial composition of their squad).
Lennon has bags of ability as a manager, but he perhaps struggles keeping his mental state right.Lennon was a very good manager both for Celtic and Hibs. He is a complex, emotional guy and his problem for me is that he let's his emotions take over in his working life too often and it costs him. His attitude to winning is what I like most about him. He takes his job very seriously and works very hard for success.
Celtic have had a terrible season by their standards. It was all about the 10 in a row and they failed dismally. That's why he is going. They were a disaster in Europe as well. His summer signings have not delivered at all. Their fans who have been wanting rid of him for many months, forget too easily the success he brought them both as a player and as a manager. Losing the league this season to the huns is unforgiveable in their eyes so he has inevitably walked the plank. He will get another job at a smaller club, if he wants to stay in the game that is.
They will try to emulate the huns in the summer IMO. That's what both these institutions do. They feed off each other constantly. As South West Hiby says, I wouldn't be surprised if they went for Lampard. A young former England internationalist...just like..well, that other institution in the city.

Do you thinks so? Most would not.So it's perfectly acceptable to make light of someone's mental health, or a disability.
Why did edit my post?Do you thinks so? Most would not.

Deary fuckin me.
I was referring to this.Unemployed by choice. He plays on his mental health like loads of folk who say they have "an anxiety" cos things get tough. Fuck him and fuck Celtic.
So it's perfectly acceptable to make light of someone's mental health, or a disability. Calling them soapdodgers or ceptic is all good. I'm not disputing ImAFanny is derogatory. Seems it depends on who is posting, and who finds what offensive.
The fact you edited my post to make me look bad is case in point.Do you thinks so? Most would not.

Not sure that's a great example given that it was called out by multiple posters also.I was referring to this.
Wasn't asked to remove it though is my point.Not sure that's a great example given that it was called out by multiple posters also.
Why would admins ask for a post to be removed because they disagree with it? Their responsibility is to not permit things like racist / sectarian comments to be made, not to be the arbiters of good taste (thankfully...).Wasn't asked to remove it though is my point.
Well thanks for your opinion, mine seems irrelevant.Why would admins ask for a post to be removed because they disagree with it? Their responsibility is to not permit things like racist / sectarian comments to be made, not to be the arbiters of good taste (thankfully...).
ImAFanny (/ˈpaɪkiː/; also spelled pikie, pykie) is a slang term, which is pejorative and considered by many to be a slur. It is used mainly in the UK to refer to people who are of the Traveller community, an ethnic group found in Great Britain and Ireland.
Whether you agree that ImAFanny is an ethnic slur or not, the fact that many people do is enough reason to not permit it on the site in my opinion. It's not that big a deal, as you've already pointed out there are plenty of other pejorative terms we can use for the soapdodging manks.
The issue is that anyone can use the lazy cliches Nanny State, PC Brigade, PC gone mad, to describe anything that they disagree with, these days.

That was the post I quoted not yoursI was referring to this.

Nope, just the same in my view. I wasn't up to date with that thread cos I'm not interested in them. Nor would I want this site to be like some of theirs where ethnic and sectarian slurs are the norm.If you want to check out the bigot brothers thread you will see someone has used the term gypo.is that less offensive.
I see the post you mean now and agree it looks inconsistent that that one wasn't pulled up.If you want to check out the bigot brothers thread you will see someone has used the term gypo.is that less offensive.

ImAFanny as above is not racist it is pejorative and considered by SOME

Tasteful. As SV07 says it seems to depend on who posts and who's offended
Resigned not sackedManager gets sacked for only being 2nd in the league. Self entitled ImAFanny fucks. I'm gutted he's been sacked.
I can't see how using the words Hun and perverts to describe other teams is acceptable, but ImAFanny isn't ?
