New signing - Jack Simpson

[BiggsyMalone]

So the people who never want to see him play football, do they never want to see him work again and then in real terms end up homeless? I think most criminals should be punished roughly but he has said a few words, racist words but words.

He can play for someone else

[cockhat]

reading these eight pages some of the comments are so depressing and confirms
why this board is my only occasional foray into social media. As a society we generally used to believe in the simple concept of a second chance, some way back, a bit of redemption but with the advent of cancel culture that seems to have disappeared . Sadly we have a fair few of these self righteous keyboard warriors on here, you all know the ones, never slipped up never made a mistake, always so ready to judge .Let he who is without sin etc.
Give the man a chance.

Tuffers returns

No, too intelligent for Titters.

[The Reverend]

Again, read it back. As advised the messageboard filtered what I said.

What occurs to me through this conversation is who I would prefer to play for my football club. A guy who made a racist comment and was sacked for it, or a guy who continually tells lies and misquotes people.

Welcome to Orient, Jack.

Weird how you’ve made that an either/or decision. It’s possible to not want racists or liars to represent a football club.

And no, I’m not saying that I am liar, I’m just pointing out yet another logical fallacy of yours.

What this all boils down to is that, ultimately, you don’t really think that being a racist is that much of an issue.

I dislike racism. I also dislike liars who claim to quote but actually write down things that were never said. To be honest I am not sure what is worse.

Are you really comparing racism to misuse of punctuation?

Do you dislike racists?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

The geezer hasn’t got a god given right to play professional football. Lots of people his age out there aren’t with a club cos they aren’t good enough. Should we dish out a few contracts to them because they deserve a second chance?

Football is a high profile game. I’m not sure people who have called team mates racist slurs should be playing for someone I take my son to see, who he might start idolising.

I’m sure McDonald’s are always hiring.

Relentless.

Oh my, what a ridiculous statement. Someone writing things claiming you said things you didn’t isn’t punctuation, it’s telling lies.

Agree. Bad punctuation actually annoys me more.

Confusing “ and ‘ isn’t worse than racism.

Why hasn't The Rev written that Heaven hath more joy in one sinner that repenteth than ninety and nine who hath no need of repentance? (Somewhere in Luke's gospel). I went to a C of E school and had all this drummed into me.
Give the guy a chance - I could have said some very unpleasant things to an Asian guy who clipped my passenger side wheel arch trying overtake on the inside on my way home tonight. I was prevented by my partner. (I still regret not saying those things right now)

[Proposition Joe]

You regret not racially abusing someone? Interested to see where this alias goes.

So is he currently suspended or just not being picked for the squad

[Lifelongfan]

So is he currently suspended or just not being picked for the squad

Suspended i believe for 6 games

So let me get this right. We have signed a player that can’t play for us for six matches?

[CEB]

There’s no flies on you

[Monkey Boy]

There’s no flies on you

There’s plenty of flies on you CEB and we all know why that just sums the so called recruitment process up imo

[Hoover Attack]

Do you think we're paying him?

Why are there flies on me?

Very likely.

We’ve signed a racist who can’t play for us for six matches.

I don't know why but I thought he'd served 3 of those before he signed. If that is the case then I think he may be available now having signed before the Bristol Rovers game, subject to fitness.
