Canary Jedi 573 Posted October 23, 2021 It is amazing that this is allowed to happen, assuming all the stuff I hear second hand is true. If so I’d fully support a peaceful demo when the Geordies pitch up at Carrud 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canario 203 Posted October 23, 2021 "Greatest league in the World" or whatever nonsense the media come out with. We should've looking to the Bundesliga but have sold the soul of our football heritage. Still, plenty of idiots lap it up. Plus of course we sell arms to the Saudis so don't really have a leg to stand on here.

Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Wonder if they will be loaning out that banner to whoever is playing Newcastle? Nothing on it is offensive, the new owners of their club are though. Edited October 23, 2021 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted October 24, 2021 If the Taliban or Al-Qaeda invested in a football club and put a bit of money in as a PR stunt, a large part of the club's fanbase would be fine with it because of the money.

Nothing on it is offensive, the new owners of their club are though. Anything can be offensive to anyone. Taking offense is subjective, there is no one set standard. A leftist could be offended by the views of a conservative. A Muslim can be offended by the leftist's view. A Hindu could be offended by the Muslim's view, as could an LGBTQ activist. Who's views are more important that we have to give them more consideration than others? Yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Equal parts pathetic and terrifying. This sounds like something that would happen in an authoritarian police state, people should be very worried if this type of abuse of authority occurs. I really do hate the direction not just this country but the whole world seems to be drifting into. For anyone else please don't try to argue a racial element. Firstly Saudi's are not a race, neither is the cartoon any kind of stereotypical caracature. This is just an excuse to abuse police power to silence and oppress a small dissenting section of the population. It's disgusting. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor Hockey's Beard 526 Posted October 24, 2021 I think it's a brilliant banner, one which will offend the people to whom it is highlighting their failings - both professionally and morally. Instead of being offended they should be ashamed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it’s been going that way for many years: Wrong think, hate crime, thought crime etc. However, what’s different about the Palace banner is that for once it’s presumably not the woke left who are doing the complaining.

The problem with these people who complain... Leftards or whoever, is that they only concern themselves with the reaction to the problem, not the problem itself. Saudi policy is deeply offensive... not a word. Criticising Saudi policy with parody etc.... people crying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
