Regardless of what you think about him you have to look at the context. Annis, do you think malky is racist because of his comments about Kim? or just a bit silly for saying those things on his work email/phone...


Totally agree. Absolutely ridiculous.

What about an individual’s right to free speech and privacy?


Privacy?

Interesting point specially as Malky was using a company phone.


It’s a grey area most definitely.

Personally if the company gives you that phone i think it is yours as long as that company employs you.

Not really going to work like that isit.

That’s like saying if you work on a desk you can put a swastika on it because it’s yours as long as the company employs you

It’s nothing like that at all.

One would be on display. One wouldn’t.

Anything that needs to be forensically searched for (in my mind) can’t bring a company into disrepute.

Jack, I 100% know Malky is not a racist, I know so many people who know him personally as I do and he is not a racist person.

Gerrard on this deep down I can’t comment, but personally I don’t like him and his attitude towards others etc.


Your opening line in the OP is that he is a racist Annis based on this report.

If reports are correct Gerrard made a joke about Ramadan whereas Malky was far more personal.

But again I’m sure we have all done it and it doesn’t make us racist. Can’t have double standards though.

On that basis Malky is.

According to The Mirror, the club learned that Gerrard had allegedly posted tasteless joke about the Islamic holy period of Ramadan on a WhatsApp group for players, and took the decision to part with the player with 12 months left on his deal.

so the consensus on here generally is that comments made by those on here about Islam cannot be racist as Islam is not a race, but if they’re made by a footballer you don’t like they are racist. then if you’re a former manager who managed to get certain supporters wrapped around your finger you can text whatever you want in private because it’s private, but again if you’re a former player who the fans didn’t take to you’re a horrible person with a terrible personality :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5:
