Fine, disagree on a possible signing target but wind in the accusations of racism. It is gamesmanship and you see it every week. If there is a dislike of colour involved, it is blue (shirt) but Maurice Johnston wasn't keen on it either until he got well paid for wearing it. Bullshit, then. It's harmless. Thanks for putting me straight. Actually, it is the most overtly racist image I have seen in years. A white guy is standing over and screaming abuse at a black guy lying on the ground. How does that read? Does he need a whip? The fact that he is delighted with himself only makes it worse. That it is contemporary, and released, signed, for profit really is quite staggering. Maybe the guy is merely another, yes, yet another, pig thick, ignorant, East coast schemie, but that doesn't make it acceptable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be racism if it was a black man standing over a prone white man? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t believe me, think about what happened to Lee Wallace after the 2016 Scottish Cup Final.

But an intelligent poster on here should know better. Edited October 28, 2022 by buster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way was he mistaken? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posing with the image for photos that would go public. Causing the predictable bipolar reactions that in the moment might not matter but further down the line, may be a pain in the arse. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,100 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I don't see that image as racist, and it's absolutely no where near the most overtly racist thing I've seen in years. It's daft wind up material. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,199 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The imagery isn't great but it's not racist; just petty but hardly the end of the world. I can't see us signing Porteous though. He's not a bad player and may represent decent value on a Bosman but I believe he wants to move to England. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
