Well that has cleared everything up.josh fg wrote:No saying he was a city fan was to explain the blue nosed twunt jibe!SticknMove wrote:You posted that he was a friend of Manning, didn’t fight Witter (a black man) because he didn’t like him and is a City fan. Putting all these things together you came to a hard and fast conclusion on him. Now you’re backtracking by saying that you don’t know whether he is or isn’t racist.josh fg wrote:Its nothing to do with being working class. That's the same attitude that says its okay for catholics to be sexist cos its just there religion its still not acceptable. I have people who I've considered to be friends who are racist and to be honest I think less of them for it and tend to say he's a racist but he's still a good bloke other than that. However hatton has defended Bernard Manning from accusations of racism which leads me to conclude that he thinks that those attitudes are acceptable.
I don't know if he is or isn't but I do think that behind the laddish exterior and the isn't he a nice boy media persona lies someone who isn't such a nice fellow. I also think that Witters comments about it probably came from somewhere.
Since you seem to have an elevated attitude on what’s acceptable or not I think you need to be certain of all the facts before coming to such quick assumptions based on loose associations because that isn’t entirely acceptable either.
As regards Hatton not being such a nice fellow – what fighter is? For that matter, behind the media friendly bubbly exteriors of television personalities I think you’ll find they aren’t quite as nice either. What person is? Most people have a darker side to their personalities. It is almost a pre-requisite for a fighter and I am sure most fans understand that.
But I know what your saying about City fans - utter, utter ..... supporters of their football team .... wankers.
Anyways in the spirit that Dioufy intended:

Nigel 'Hilary' Benn
Amir 'The Highway Code' Khan
