Things that make you SAD thread.

I know, I've already put out a post condemning that nonsense (I have no intention of actually replying directly to someone like that)

I went home and away back then, perhaps I didn't notice it as I was only young but I can genuinely say I've only heard racism once or twice at Wolves and even then that was only the odd comment when in the John Ireland back in the early 90s, never heard anything standing on the South Bank before that. Really hope it's not going to creep back in at Wolves.

The stupidity of shouting comments like were apparently shouted last night in the stadium, if he said that anywhere else in Wolverhampton he'd get the shit kicked out of him.

Can honestly say that I've never heard any racist abuse at the molineux at all.
In the 80's we seemed to have a few jamaican lads from parkfields follow us but sadly, there seems less black faces down the match nowadays.

We've a fair indian contingent of support now though.

I remember when I 1st started watching the team back in the mid to late 80's old 4th division standing on a milk crate in the old south bank there were racist chants. I was only 10 or 11 at the time. It wasn't every game but I do remember it more so than I care to remember considering we had players of colour in our team

Honestly never heard anything, i would be standing (swaying) with the singers towards the back and i suppose, if you were aware of some of the main "lads" then... you wouldnt have shouted racist abuse anyway.

Now going to the old Fellows Park was a different kettle of fish.

I vaguely remember Klu Klux Klan hoods in the ground at some point although the eighties were not a good time for my memories, so I could of imagined it ??
It was around the time that we had the epidemic of the sharpened edged discs being chucked around !

I started going regularly from the mid to late 80's., although I've not heard monkey chants I have heard black players called names in isolation post a foul for example. It's also less than 2 decades since Bradford and Leicester had "town full of pa**'s" and "it's all gone quiet in the mosque" chanted at them. Calling Floyd Streete Bruno hasn't worn well either

I'm severely doubting that I'm going to be able to hang on to my 'man card' for much longer !
Was reading a piece on the end of the Mars rover and I came across the line :
Opportunity's final message sent back to Earth on 10 June last year was: "My battery is low and it's getting dark."
And I actually felt sad for a machine, a robot with such a moving last message.
God knows what's next will I start listening to heartfelt songs in the dark, will I just spontaneously start crying ?
I'm gonna chop down a tree or something to regain my manliness !

That clip from the C4 show about the kids (one of the secret life series) where the lad talks about his Dad and you find out that "Daddy is in heaven" but will be fine once he finds a wishing well. Chokes me up, that.

I wouldn't go so far as to say sad, but I can't be using PPB as a username when I'm back over there. I'm gonna have to put that one to bed and come up with another one.

No problem, make up a UK version. For example - move to Penkridge, start liking pigeons and call yourself 'Bab'.

:icon_lol: How can you just start liking pigeons, no one likes pigeons. It would be simpler to just change me name.

Dunno, they are quite tasty if cooked well.

Four months since my mum passed away. Me and San, Gerry and his wife and my sister and her hubby have decided to arrange a trip over to Dublin. Rented a place near Inchicore, where our dad was born, and going to do a bit of a tour of the old family haunts (including Kilmainham Jail), a bit of a cathartic tour... Feeling a little emotional

When are you over Mike? Let me know if you fancy meeting up for a pint.

I hate how you have to be horrible to get something done these days.

Reported a problem, standard Dan, nice bloke, yeah, we'll get that sorted, we'll get back to you.

Nothing.

Call back three hours later as I've had fuck all update (and it's bloody important), angry - not abusive, just angry - and demand it get sorted.

10 minutes, done.

I bloody well asked nicely and I'm a nice bloke. I don't want to have to be a shouty knobhead to get stuff done. Less still a shouty Manc knobhead, but that's the way it comes out.

 

[Pablowolf]

Do you go full 'Shameless' when you get angry?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

You might find out one day.

 

[Pablowolf]

You love me too much for that to ever happen.
