Just have a burger at the Palace, there is f*** all meat in them!

Oh come on Lyon, how can you say it wasn't as bad as it's being made out? There's already one poster on here that's defending his disgusting actions by calling us PC warriors (when in fact it is clearly he who is disturbed and needs help).

Maybe some posts were made in jest, but to a new poster or outsider, how do you think these posts look? Some of the stuff was vile.

I'm tough. I'm ambitious. I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, I'm OK with that.

Exactly...out of 23,000 odd registered ones, from one message board out of? (3...4) for one club out of 90 odd...context...that's all...context

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

Although I still have mod powers I rarely have time to help moderate the site these days.

The thread in question and it's inclusion in the programme I think should be seen as a chance to highight and challenge certain behaviours and opinions. It was doing that and this thread can do the same.

As for Parchmore not being able to comprehend the difference between political correctness and equality, I think he's far from the only one. It's also particularly tragic when someone views "PC" as a negative. Each to their own though.

Football fans are behind the times on this issue.

I think there is always a point to be made about context and intention behind chants at a football match, but the point remains that if your actions cause offence or upset to others, why wouldn't you want to modify your behaviour?

The only real answer to that would be because you want to cause offence - and if that is the case then you can't complain when people are offended.

I am glad the thread has now been pulled, it was the appropriate reaction to what was a generally pathetic set of responses. It's a shame the healthy discussion part was lost in the idiocy. It was always going to be left out of the documentary though - you know full well that from moment one there was an agenda there and the agenda wasn't to paint a balanced view.

Last season on Hol Radio we talked about challenging homophobia, I told a story myself about doing so with some Palace fans at Victoria station.

Palace & Proud are doing some great work on this issue too.

The times are changing - some people take longer than others to adjust. Some people won't. That's the human condition.

It's a shame that this balance wasn't welcome in the BBC programme.

Maybe I'll invite Gareth onto Holradio in the new season and we'll have a more open discussion about the topic.

I think you should, and you'd expect him to want to discuss it. I feel as though GT used the site for the sake of his own programme rather than trying to establish a proper dialogue. The outcome was always going to be negative. It's unfortunate to see we have some way to go to eradicating homophobia like we have with racism but I can see why some people get rubbed up the wrong way (pardon the expression) by some aspects of campaigns or programmes who might come across as having an agenda from the outset.

An excellent idea. Perhaps you could say that you are going to be in a certain pub then express surprise when he doesn't turn up.

I was contacted by PM and agreed to answer any questions but wanted them put in writing so that I could reply in writing. I didn't receive a reply.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
