chris Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I got the thought for a campaign from this http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34142261I've got no idea at all how to do this, I was thinking of messaging the club and/or supporters clubs. I'll keep you posted if I get any responses. Cheers for all the replies and I really really hope we win against PrestonCOYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Why has this thread been edited? I think people should be able to see the nastiness in those deleted posts.Agreed. Although I'm not sure what nastiness you're referring to. I don't personally think pointing out that many people are risking their own lives as well as their children's lives to come here from countries that are not in a state of war is a problem and that hiding up signs that say "refugees welcome" is irresponsible, so I hope you don't also. The photo of the dead child who died because his dad wanted some new teeth being a prime example of the result of that irresponsibility, although ultimate responsibility lies with the parents.And that any responsible person would want to know specifically what charities are doing with their money in order to discourage such irresponsibility and mindless deaths I would describe as the opposite of nasty. If any Derby fan holds up a sign saying "refugees welcome" I will be asking them if they never heard the story of the pied piper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can then decide for themselves if they are nasty or not.I personally thought what you said was obnoxious and this measly attempt to justify it is just as bad.

This has been going on for over 3 years. Millions in Jordan and Turkey. Neighbors to Syria. Safe countries. They had been in Turkey for 3 years. Then the man forced has family onto a dingy in an attempt to illegally enter Greece via the Med. The blood is on his hands. Partial blame to the EU and Germany for basically saying anyone who lands in the EU can stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can then decide for themselves if they are nasty or not.I personally thought what you said was obnoxious and this measly attempt to justify it is just as bad.I can't remember exactly what I wrote , but it was pretty much what I said above so I don't know how I'm now trying to justify myself by repeating myself? I have already stated my response to the crisis is the same as Paul Collier's. That photo, that so many in favour of letting all those at Calais in tried to exploit, was a photo of a child who died from the neglect of his parents. A child who braved choppy seas in a small, unsafe, overcrowded boat with no life jackets to speak of. To flee Turkey. Not Syria, Turkey. In the words of the child's aunt- because his dad wanted to go to Canada to get some new teeth. That is child neglect resulting in death. That is parents killing their child. If you don't agree then shame on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just decimated the thread by removing all the off-topic posts into the Pointy Room, but let's try and keep it on topic, rather than a discussion about refugees in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyRam Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Nice idea, can we get a few over for trials too? Just a thought...Don't want Germany to get all the talent, must be a few decent footballers amongst them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
