Problems on Tuesday night???

To emphasise the origin of the term and how it isn't a particularly nice one I'd imagine.

Not a good way of explaining to be honest, a link to a website would have been more appropriate imo.

I think it's the perfect way to make the point personally. Unpleasant and upsetting as it might be, the intention is to make people consider the impact of the language they use.

Why are you more concerned about the picture than the original comment that it was in response to?

And what's your objection to the photo? Why does it offend you? It's a real picture of a real person with a real disability.

Firstly let me just say everyone has different options on issues that they come across, I am in no way expecting everyone to agree with my view. The correct way to describe the deformity is thalidomide, the picture didnt need to be added and I did state that was imo no one else's, I also don't agree with people up loading an image of a naked child on a forum or any other kind of media, now I know it was put on for information purposes but could have been done in a different way, again imo.

Did he? Lost his man for their goal. Nearly always loses his man for a goal when he plays at WB. He put 1 decent cross in but doesn't offer anywhere near enough in that position for my liking.

I take it that's Brayford you're talking about?

Nope. Although Brayford did go through a disappointing spell where he did that quite a bit.

Agreed, which is why I'd be quite happy for himself to stay where he wants to be and where he now is

Thalidomide was the medication that caused the symptoms. I'm still not sure why you're more offended by posting a photo of someone with a disability than by the use of the term 'flid'.

I do share your views about posting naked pictures of kids but I assume this is a stock photo and therefore already in the public domain.

I'm pretty relaxed about the Brayford situation. I still like him as a player but Freeman's had an incredible season so don't feel we need him. That said, if he comes back, he will be a valuable member of the squad to provide competition/ cover for both Freeman and Basham (if we stick with our current system).

Only if his head is in the right place, and I don't mean on top of his neck

The term and the picture together was my issue, I'm not the most pc person far from it, just didn't think it was needed, yes I agree about the stock photo but in this day and age probably not a good idea, and I do value all your input.
