There you go string pulled again.

Not excusing the actions of a couple,of mindless individuals last weekend but enough is enough, we have got the message.


Aw, don’t go all snowflakey on me.

I am only having a little bit of fun with you and ‘infusing’ a little modicum of gentle, friendly and good natured teasing. Please do not take it to heart my friend. I am sure you have the best intentions.

After all, we have just had to endure 18 months of loss, sickness and stress caused by the pandemic, so we all need to introduce a little bit of light hearted fun into our lives.

Btw - whatever happened to Action Man ?


I understand they are highly collectable, condition is everything?


Wish I’d have kept mine.

I appreciate what you are saying, but it’s a difficult one isn’t it. It is more about how the recipient takes it and how it makes them feel. SP was right to call me out on it and I thank him for that and this is why I apologised.

I meant it only as light hearted teasing but it is how the recipient takes which is the main thing.

This forum should be safe place for people to give their opinions without fear of ridicule or mockery, so as I say apologies for any upset caused. It was not my intention.

Why is it funny to tease an old man? Some would call it bullying.

That’s not bullying. Get out more. He was ribbing him very gently

In your eyes it is gently ribbing in but maybe not in their eyes.

Steve's apology post sums things it perfectly

Unfortunately I can’t say that’s a post by a true gentleman. Only a bit of harmless ribbing belly.

This thread, this incident and some of these comments just shows why some players are still taking the knee and I’ll absolutely support it until they decide it’s not being effective.

Mansfield as a town has a huge issue with race so it was inventible this would happen at football, thank you to the people who reported it.

Going back to the topic I sit in that block and I've had an email about the incident, however I never leave a game early but my mate has got me a beer in Sandy's so me and boy decided to go there so I missed it. Which I'm happy about my son is 8 and doesn't need to hear that

Hopefully it's not a season ticket holder.

It's just sad that its happened at our club

The thread is about an allegation that racist comments were made - we don’t know what was said or indeed if anything was said.
We should also bear in mind we don’t take the knee - it would be interesting to know why. It doesn’t make the players racist but they clearly don’t think it adds to the debate.
I definitely don’t condone racism but some of this is straying off topic.
Lets see what the result of any enquiry is and then debate further.
