Web Team - Celia Sutton 0 Posted June 6, 2007 I guess the post was allowed because it was talking about Scots being cheaper than English players because of the circumstances of their league, and Norwich is therefore choosing them on price rather than ability. That''s nothing to do with their race.However we take your point for the future and we''ll certainly keep an eye on this.Celia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

renegade tootsie 0 Posted June 6, 2007 If you and your ''mates'' wish to call each other Felicity, Godzilla or t**t is no concern of anyone else, however, this is a public message board in an enlightened 21st century. If I posted to say ''I dont think anyone called ricky Knight should be allowed into carrow road'' would you smile at it, or think it discriminatory?I smile and laugh all the time, but I am not sure how this thread was meant to be funny or make me smile, and I certainly do not think that the OP meant it as a joke?

can u sit down please 0 Posted June 6, 2007 I dont think its a case of what have Aberdeen won recently, its the point that Jimmy Calderwood has had to rebuild his squad and this year finished a fantastic 3rd, only behind the old firm.But im not gonna go on about the dons....I will reiterate my point that i dont care where players are from as long as we are successful!

Jerzy Krukowski 5 Posted June 6, 2007 Well it''s political correctness gone mad...again isn''t it. After all some of my best friends are flids and spackers, they don''t mind me calling them that, in fact they laugh til their colostomy bags burst. Though I say ban them all from Carrow road along with the women and jocks ''cos they clutter up the stairs and make the place look untidy. It''s only the liberal nanny state that makes us put up with them at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,658 Posted June 6, 2007 I have no problem with scottish players. They can be just as good as an english player we buy, at half the price.I fail to see how you find, buying descent players for less, is a bad thing [:S]Ridiculous in all honesty.No more etuhu, he''s not from england. No more earnshaw, he''s not from england. No more Safri...D''you see what you''re saying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 274 Posted June 7, 2007 Well signing English players has been highly successful in the recent past hasnt it?Its the players attitude that needs to be right, not their naionality. If we can get a scot on a cheap basic wage with massive promotion bonus'' to drive a will to win that would be better than buying another english journey man (from jarrett to hughes via thorne) happy to take a large wage week in week out without the ability or desire to be able to contribute to a winning team.

Lambo 0 Posted June 7, 2007 this topic really does prove that no matter what our club does it''ll never be good enough for some people, people complained they wanted us to bring in players as early as possible..... no people are moaning that they''re scottish... it''s plain daft...whatever Grant does is never going to be enough for some of you... we could win the league this year, the prem next then the champs league the year after and some of you would find thinsg to complain about.
