"In a statement provided to BBC Radio Derby, a spokesperson for Kirchner is quoted as saying: "The tweets took place nearly 10 years ago... He was quoting song lyrics and movie quotes. It is not his personal opinion. He recognises that the tweets are not suitable content. Which is why they have been deleted." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofmidnight Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 There are some very judgemental people on this forum. Let's just wait and see what he says and does from now on. At least he has made the effort to actually watch us play and if he is prepared to buy our club I for one welcome him.

It’s not so much the content of people’s historic tweets, it’s the fact that they thought it OK to put them into the public domain. People change but it does show an underlying weakness in their character and personal values. Having said that, I just want an owner for the Rams. I’m not too bothered about their moral code. Welcome to the 21st Century. Life is lived through social media. I’m guilty myself of doing it. I’m not proud, I’ve grown up a lot since then. This is the problem with the snowflake generation we now live in. People getting offended on other peoples behalf. It’s a sad state of affairs.

The point about Kirchner as opposed to others is to use a handy meme he comes across as an Alonso! Have you met either, or just going on what you’ve gleaned from social media? I would suggest there’s not many stupid people that have amassed a fortune, earned that is and not through a bequest. Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Re: the tweets I’ll just add one thing. Pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that I’ve worked with LGBT community orchestrating events at a venue in the city I live. Whilst I’m not part of the community, and I can’t speak for them, I’ve had quite a few experiences and can take a guess. If there’s one thing that will annoy people who are LGBT as much as the tweets themselves, is that football fans are dragging their community into something using 10 year old tweets from someone they will not care about. I loathe to say it’s the idea of virtue signalling, but this is of no benefit to that community it’s just showing them potentially upsetting material to ‘one up’ against another football team. It’s using them essentially, when people within that community just want to live a normal hassle free life. Im uncomfortable with the tweets, Im uncomfortable with some stuff he’s been tweeting recently too to be honest. But it can be dealt with by being sincerely apologetic so he can draw a line under it.

Tyler Durden Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I wouldn't have him here just for the way he's pissed Preston around, doesnt seem the way to conduct yourself professionally. If he does that to another club could equally do the same to us. Seems a bit of a tyre kicking chancer.

The_Sheriff Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Tell you what. I am nothing like the person i was 10 years ago.
