[Real]

Are people really getting their knickers in a twist because he described Bigi as coloured? He is coloured, and until the PC zealots decided it was offensive it was a word used without it being offensive. I much preferred it when we just called a spade a spade and didn't pussy foot around trying not to offend.

No offense taken. But it's good to understand why certain terms carry hatred so they are avoided. It's not PC it's consideration.

Calling them a spade is particularly racist, mind..

I was trying to be the opposite infact, the fact that singing ba ba black as been banned in schools Proberly suggests that black is also not very appropriate either.

Either way I wasn't trying to be racist in fact the opposite.

I only wanna know if there is a decent boozer for away fans

Best bet is the city centre but the Casino at the Arena let away fans in. Taxi should be about £8 i'd imagine.

Im gutted im going to miss this match i work with a Bury fan and im praying we don't lose this, i would never hear the end of it!

Not a single person has got their knickers in a twist. He was just beating round the bush and we educated him slightly. I do agree to an extent though, as a country we are so PC now, scared to offend anyone. Think it's time we grew up as a nation and stopped taking everything to heart.

Come to The Wheatsheaf on Foleshill road. But rough and ready but it's friendly enough.
