barassie_afc Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Oh great. I presume that's a tweet? Indeed........ they do seem to get on....which is great , but christ that one is rather close to the edge Link to comment
minijc Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Ach, it's a bit of fun, decent bantz from them. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Celtic have a song "paddy mccourts fenian army"...it's not offensive. Link to comment

OddJob Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I think maybe what Barassie's point is everyone got totally up in arms over Paton and Diamond's "fenian" comments on Facebook yet not caring about these guys saying the same thing Link to comment

Ken fit I'm saying like? 2 Link to comment
rossafc92 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Nothing wrong with them saying that at all really. If anything it's like a group of black friends referring to eachother as 'niggers', but of course it takes on a different meaning depending on who is saying and how it's being said. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 So "Big Josh's Nigger Army" - acceptable or not? If he's tweeting Jason Brown, yes. If he's tweeting Gordon Brown, no. Big Josh's cyclops army would be more acceptable in that instance. Link to comment
Redstar Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 So "Big Josh's Nigger Army" - acceptable or not?Yes but only if Ozzy was doing the tweeting Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I think it's a shame that Joe Shaunessey has been excluded from the group.Talk about a lack of team harmony. Link to comment
barassie_afc Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Strange feedback, would it be the same if it was Big Josh's Orange Army................ doubt it , I dont find it offensive, I just think its all advised Link to comment
The Boofon Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Strange feedback, would it be the same if it was Big Josh's Orange Army................ doubt it , I dont find it offensive, I just think its all advised Orange in a Calderwood way? It's a stupid tweet given the profession they are in and the media hysteria that surrounds all things related to religious hatred in Scottish football. Granted AFC are not caught up in that garbage but never the less it's a fucking stupid thing to put out on a social networking site. I'll be very surprised if some fuckwit from the Daily Retard isn't all over this tomorrow. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 They seemed to be having a good time in TGI's last night. I don't find what he said offensive, I'm surprised this is even a thread in all honesty. Josh Magennis is sound, they are together as a team - and have a bit of bonding off the field also which can only be good for our team. Let them be... It's not offensive to me either but it's fucking stupid. Link to comment
Pudgie Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 What's the stupid word? Fenian? Depends what context it's used in, IMO. 'I saw Josh and his fucking fenian army out last night' 'Big Josh and his fenian army were in TGI's' It's a word that doesn't bother me to be honest.It's the use of Fenian and it's connotations within Scottish fitba that make it unacceptable for me. Well, not really unacceptable, but just a wee bit careless with who in the press could read it. Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 This thread is boring and has ruined my Friday as a resultDon't let it get you down. Buy a magazine, into the work bogs, belt one out - all of a sudden life is better. Think about this - it's the weekend - The Dons are going to smash some hun lovers and progress up the league. Life is good. There is an Irish bar in Perth, Australia called "Fenians Bar". Can't be that offensive. Link to comment

Can't be that offensive. I'm a bit down at the moment as I was in B&Q yesterday and was really thirsty so I nipped into the staff room and helped myself to a coffee from one of the worker's mugs. They put fucking salt in their coffee there. Gads. Link to comment

K-9 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Maybe the word Fenian was used in its original context rather than the context taken on by bigots in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Completely harmless word in original context. Possibly ill advised in this country where so few understand but in reality nothing to get worked up about. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Good to see at least some of the players like each other, it's a start. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Because apparently Twitter is cool. Link to comment
tup Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 As long as these fenian bastards do the business for the Dons they can call each other whatever the fuck they want. 1 1 Link to comment
