It was football banter,nothing more from Moyes, delivered with a laugh to a laughing reporter that just happened to be female.
Bloom was underlining his macho credentials for the role, using shorthand for the Gypsy lifestyle, dare I say Cock and dog fighting, bare knuckle fighting,scrap and horse dealing ?
Nobody was hurt or offended except the professional whingers...........in my opinion.

I don't see why anyone needs to be sensitive to thieving pikeys that cause so much anguish and heartache through their nefarious activities .They didn't get the name without the game it not for nothing the police don't go alone and sometimes in protective gear to their encampments ,

No but let's not pretend that they are a bunch of hard done by ethnic monorities .They are not .
Most are tax dodging unscrupulous thieves who steal from law abiding people.
They prey on the local community in which they live, they contribute nothing They givenothi g always take, and when people are sick and tired of allowing them to take they scream racism, even though they are not a race but descendants of Irish tinkers .

She has never ever ever been out of work all the 30 plus years I have known her.I would trust her with my life.
Generalisation is never a good thing.

I would respectfully direct you to the thread entitled Head of Department, where a post for Responsibility for Combating Gross Generalisation was put forward for consideration only this evening...post35 in fact.

But seriously my pikey daughter in law's family are mostly law abiding also, I would agree that many so called Travelers are no more than chavs, but that is societies problem, we do have many true blue Brit chavs too.
Just remembered........my daughter had a pikey partner, they had a child together that despite her moving 100's of miles away he visited regularly never failed to finance the boy's up keep for over 30 years, he has never been unemployed either.
