[Dorset Red]

But I agree anyway
Dorset does seem to be rather selective in what he listens to.

Racism and anti-semitism are subtly different. I am fully aware of Di Canio's comments about black players but my direct question is about anti-semitism. The fact remains that he has refused to speak out against the persectution of the Jews even when given very public opportunities to do so. I refer you again to Das Bild who ran a very interesting story on this a while ago.

This is fucking ridiculous , he's been accused of being a racist, which he has denied. You want him to be asked if he supports anti-semitism, he could be asked and say no. Then what? Are you homophobic?  Where would this stop?

From what I understand Italian Facism is much less associated with anti-semitism than the Germans were. Why the witch-hunt on this issue with Di Canio? There's never been any suggestion that he is anti-semitic before.

Dorset Red is on a crusade.

Best we all leave him to it....

Dorset.

I dont like racism in fact i dont like any kind of shite like that,even straight forward bullying makes me angry.
Now lets say my boss was a facist,lets say he was racist then i wouldn't like him at all,would i leave my job in the current climate,have to say probably not.
I equate the managers job at Swindon Town to the managers/boss's job at work,i might not like them for there personal views but if they get the job done than i will be happy,maybe not as happy as the perfect boss or manager,but suitably happy in a situation that i do not have any control over.
I applaud the people who have made a stand,it is there views and fair play,but how far do you go....leave your job,dont talk to a doctor because of his views even though he may save your childs life.
We all have our views and it took me a long time to realise that you cant always have the perfect scenario.

dorset red just bores me to death.

I'm giving back my season ticket until  Di Canio says he hates Fred West, Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy. I mean do we REALLY know he doesn't approve  of serial killers. Really.

Christ, is this argument still going on?

[Wiggler]

I'm convinced this issue only has the potential to ever exist on the internet.

A couple of voices repeating the same point over and over again turns into a 'discussion thread'

If dorset red exists in real life he would be sat in the corner of the pub agreeing with himself.

Not saying it isn't a valid point he has, I don't agree with it personally, but realisically it represents the views of probably 0.005% of our paying customers. It's a non issue get over it and move on.

It may be worth noting that Das Bild is the German newspaper equivalent of the Sun.

Clown.  He is a football manager.  His opinions on the persecution of the Jews is entirely irrelevant.  It is also a extremely unfair he is even asked about this.

"So err Sir Alex, what do you think of the slave trade?"  Are these the sort of questions you'd want to see on MOTD?  I don't think we're worthy of your sort on this forum...

[ChalkyWhiteIsGod]

Agree entirely Dorset Red = complete burke

[stfcinbmth]

I could change my nick to Dorset Red 2 if it helps. I have no interest what so ever in politics, what PdC does or does not believe in, is absolutely no concern of mine. What does concern me though is that his tenure at managing STFC is a great success. Can't wait to see how it goes, throughly excited

[Abrahammer]

I cant believe this issue is still being discussed, the same points have been raised/debated about 20 times on different topics.

Move on.

[walrus]

The real issue here is Andy King, yay or nay?

Get him on board as Chief Scout I say?  What's the little scamp to up to these days anyway?  He's the original loveable rogue.
