What about Pompey ?

Goonerhater

So harry boy says " its a huge club a real football club" -------- so what is Pompey then Harry. Seen all the medis bollox about HR going to the yids not a word about Pompey.

Wish you wouldn't use that word, even if some Spurs fans themselves use it. A lot of people , both Jewish and non-Jewish , find it offensive.

Nigel that is rubbish all Spuds refer to themselves as Yids,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lets not get to senitive on here, it is starting to get rediculous

nigel

Sorry, but it's not "rubbish". I said a lot of people find it offensive. You can , if you wish, say it is over-sensitive/ridiculous/stupid for them to feel that way. But you can't denounce a fact as "rubbish" ...

On Goonerhater's broader point, I entirely agree. Ever since the story broke late last night, I've been wondering when someone was going to mention Portsmouth !

Goonerhater

Nigel thanks for using one of ur 28 comments . The Spurs are the Yids go tell em to stop singing it

He was actually very complimentary about Pompey in his interview on SSN last night about 2am...

Thats the second time Harry has gone. He is sure to be complimentary, but I dont see Pompey seeing it that way

Yids...Yanks...Aussies....Limeys...Pommies....Polaks....Pakis....what's in a name FFS!!

The non-football Jewish Community may find it offensive but please let not let this get out of hand.

It is, in my opinion a well known "nickname" for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club - one that they embrace quite vociferoiusly in the stands every week as well.

Lets leave it at that.

The last one, at least, is insulting and well you know it.

Ermmm Ben....have you ever listened to Australian cricket commentators....they use nicknames ALL the time and no one gives a hoot.
Who says it's insulting....I haven't the faintest notion why it should be...whenever on very very rare ocassions I use it I'm not even remotely saying it to be insulting...why do you think it is?

I doubt many would maybe elders as younger ones use it as much as Blacks use teh N word to each other.

Must say when i started there i was taken back a bit but soon got used to it

WSS

Can we please stick to the thread about Portsmouth fans reactions to Harry's comments please?

Any personal opinions or debates on other 'sensitive' topics you want with other members please start a private discussion - this is not the place for it.

Thanks

OK mate.............. let's call a truce.
I hope to hear from you on the Ipswich thread tonight....I unfortunately couldn't make it as my assistant had to have the day off.
I wonder if there's commentary on the radio?
