Seems a bit harsh to be going after Steven so vitriocally. Is that a word?

Don't let Wayne Brown near your bananas, he'll throw them at John Barnes.

No doubt 'Vellens' will pick them all up so he can march down Melton road chucking them about.

Whether it was intentional or not I think his first post created unecessary bad feeling and made something out of absolutely nothing. It was the kind of comment that could spiral out of control (and it has if you take a look at some of the comments regarding this on fickletalk).

What is worse?
Being called a racist or being called a ****?

It's not 'going after him'
Out of the thousands of adjectives he could have used, he chose ignorant and racist to throw into an assessment of Wellens as a person - neither of which were justified in any way from the original, rather innocent quotes
It was a hysterical, ridiculous overreaction of the worst possible kind
He's a complete idiot

He is really not worth it BF.
Being called a **** is an honour and that is not an honour I am going to give him. When DD gave him that honour and I laughed he did not appreciate it at all.
Now he turns out to be a racist.

Picture the scenario; two blokes arrive at your place of work on Monday morning, one is English, one is Japanese.
The English chap comes in, you tell him what you want him to do and it's clear he knows exactly what he's doing and he gets on with it.
The Japanese chap doesn't speak a word of English and he takes a translator with him everywhere, you try to give him instructions which you're pretty sure he doesn't understand despite him being a master of his trade back in Japan. He shows some signs of promise, but the language barrier is too big an obstacle - perhaps in about 2 or 3 months he'll be able to properly communicate with his team.
Which one would be easier to integrate into the workplace?
IMO there's nothing racist or xenophobic about Wellens' desire to bring in English speaking players. He just seems to feel (as do I) that we can't afford to wait 2 or 3 months for Abe, or any of our signings, to settle in. We need players who are going to come in and do a job immediately, especially considering the predicament that we currently find ourselves in.
We simply do not have that luxury.

Unfortunately he named two foreign players who have been playing in England for a number of years as his example (Santa Cruz and Jo).
I don't think he is racist or ignorant..I just think he's a plonker. As are most footballers I suppose, given the lack of extended education.
