The main reason I started this thread was to let people know about the good work Ben does and the, IMO, interesting Barry Corr shirt story, Like I said some the locals from Chesterfield were going way beyond banter and that's why who was ever in charge of the tweets felt they could join in.
Ben has made no complaints about fans behaviour, It was me but now he is being told to 'man up' or get another job. Yes I do remember the good old days. Back then if the opposition were giving your players or staff abuse we used to stand up for them and show them who's side we were on. I agree not all the changes have been for the best.
:facepalm:- slow day for the Echo?
I think Noel is being over dramatic and I'm not going to agree with him just because it's Noel Hunt.
Fair enough. That wasn't a comment aimed at you I didn't see your post before I replied.Im not agreeing with Noel because of who he is, Ive already started a thread about it and how pathetic it was.

He's right though. If Ben was black and received that abuse there would be uproar!
you can't go on a diet to stop being black
What a pathetic comment
Black, white, asian, straight, gay, fat or thin... Discrimination is discrimination
and for a club's official account to tweet is an absolute disgrace, deserved sacking on the spot

I hardly think it is worth anyone getting the sack. Yes, the tweet was not appropriate from a professional football club and a quiet word will be had ..I am sure.
However, for anyone to think it is wrong to say a person is a tad overweight is ridiculous. People come in all shapes and sizes and if we are not allowed to comment on that? lord help us. I am often referred to as "skinny". So what?? Bloody hell. There are fat people out there. Are we supposed to completely pretend they are not over weight??
Is absolutely nothing like a vile racist comment or a homophoebic comment.
Well said. (bloody beanpole)
This is the new 'new kit' thread.
Not in my opinion, I'd say yours was.
There are rare exceptions but getting fat is down to greed and an unhealthy lifestyle, not comparible to skin colour at all.
