Aeroplane banner

I totally agree with you on this 59-60. The banner claimed to represent Burnley which it simply did not. If I make a statement I should be prepared to put my own name to it.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

A couple of knob jockeys privately fund an exercise in mischievous phuckwittery and the Snowflakes are out in full force.

Garlick goes into full faux outrage and suggests the 5-0 hammering by Citeh is insignificant compared to the "racist" endeavour of a couple of rogue Burnley supporters.

Mr Garlick may I respectfully suggest you stop worrying about whether Black Lives Matter (please read Andre Gray's excellent article on exactly how it is to be born a black male in the UK) or not and make sure we have enough players to contest a game of football in the English Premier League?

Sometimes BT, not often, just sometimes, you do talk sense. This is one of those occasions.

Do these idiots not know what the impact is on Burnley - the town the team - it makes things so much more difficult in attracting new players and residents. I seem to remember in the race riots that occurred we were about to sign Peter Crouch but he did not sign due to the unrest and racism. I also remember when playing for Stoke he made such a reference in our programme. Who ever you are you are a disgrace to the town and the football club - hope you get a long ban.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

A couple of mischievous knob jockeys cannot be held responsible for how a whole town and football club behave and believe lancaster100. If you seriously believe they do, then we are all phucked.

I speculate and suggest the bit of bad taste may have been in response to three white lives being ended by an immigrant with a knife. I have not heard any where near the same outrage over that tragedy. We need some perspective I think, otherwise we are all in danger of disappearing up our own backsides.

I suspect there's a little bit more to that 'terrorist attack' in Reading than the media are prepared to confront BT. The BBC report never once mentions the salient point of the incident, not that the victims were all white, but that they were all gay. This was not a random attack, the men were all targeted by an Islamist terrorist because they were gay, remember the Florida gay night club atrocity four years ago, Islam has form in this area, but the BBC doesn't mention this, clearly in the BBC pecking order of victimhood, Muslims rate higher than Gays.

Can you imagine the outrage from the BBC had a white youth killed three gay men, but a Muslim kills three Gay men and the Beeb doesn't think it's even worthy of mention that they were all targeted because they were Gay. The BBC is indeed a vile organisation.

I had no idea the victims of this knife attack were gay sinkov. The point you are making sinkov takes on enormous validity IMHO, because the media are withholding the truth behind the attack. Shameful.

To be fair to the Lefty bible the Grauniad BT, it does mention the fact that they could have been targeted because they were gay, but it doesn't go into it in any depth, but our national broadcaster chooses to ignore the fact. It is indeed shameful as you say, but not surprising.

Well, not everyone if this message board is anything to go by Mr Dyche.

59_60 -----Ben Mee, Sean Dyche and the club responded in exactly the way that the PL would have expected. Had they not done so, the media storm would have been incredible.
Now the club and town are being lumped as racist by many because of the response. When this banner appeared over the Etihad, it was always going to be a problem simply because it had Burnley tagged onto the message.
It was not the club, nor the town who authorised this stunt, however, it is the club and the town and those connected with it who have to deal with the fall out. There are no winners in this situation at all.
This last few weeks has shown just how we are all being manipulated by one force or another and they are relying on the fact that people have lost the ability to htink for themselves and also that quite a number of people don't want to be the ones who are bucking the trend.What a state this country is in, however, it is our own fault!

Edited because I have seen sinkov's post ---yes you are correct.
