Michael O’Halloran suffers vile sectarian abuse after Catholic church visit

This issue here is that some of us have differing ideas about which Rangers fans are the idiots.

No, the issue is that some Rangers fans on here refer to other Rangers fans as idiots, when we're all supposed to be on the same side.

Opinions about what constitutes being 'on the same' side also differ.

I think the rule on here is you can't refer to anyone as idiots, arseholes, whether it be individuals, right wing nut jobs and the hard of thinking.

It's a sound policy so you are quite right.......

we are an inclusive support that extends to those among us who have special needs

I believe the term 'special needs' is now deemed offensive.  

 

I don't have my daily update on unacceptable words handy though, so can't suggest an alternative.

They say intelligence is normally distributed in the population. The unavoidable and uncomfortable conclusion from this is that half the population have below-average intelligence and about one in seven of those you share the streets with has a sufficiently low IQ as to inhabit a very different world from the rest of us. It should therefore surprise no one that we routinely come across people whose behaviour and standards are far removed from anything we might see as normal - their vote counts for just as much as Einstein's though - always remember when trying to understand politicians.

I believe those with "special needs" are now simply referred to as socialists.

 

For the sensitive among us ... IT"S A JOKE.

A quick Google search confirms it:

 

"Most style guides prescribe against using the euphemism special needs and recommend instead using the non-euphemized term disability; disability advocates argue adamantly against the euphemism special needs, which they find offensive."

Back to the topic though - poor show from the people abusing MOH in Twitter.  Social Media is an easy device for cowards to empower themselves.  

 

Personally, I'll be glad when O'Halloran goes to another club but that's for purely footballing reasons.  He just isn't good enough.  But hopefully he can go through life without having to deal with that sort of thing too often.
