on saying sorry and … the demand to be called chelsea

If there’s one single thing I don’t understand, and even as a kid I never understood the requirement to say you were sorry, unless you really were.  But apparently it please people to hear other people say, I am sorry.  Saying you are sorry and if you can act well enough while saying the magic words, can even lesson a jail sentence. 

These politically correct days, apologies are all the rage. People are saying sorry for the silliest things, and even saying sorry if they think but nobody has complained, that they have given offense of some kind.  And btw .... lots and lots of people are offended by almost anything.  Heck, you may offend someone by not supporting their chosen football team. Gotta say sorry and look like you mean it.

All of the above is my way of bringing you this really silly article I caught the other day.  I needed to check and see if it was April 1st as, well you know how time flies. It could have been April first.  You don’t know. It could have come and you missed it.  But no. It was only the end of last month which was September.

Grab this one bmews.

I’m sorry for saying ‘fighting like girls’: BBC pundit Robbie Fowler forced to apologise for jibe about players

Former Liverpool and England striker Robbie Fowler apologised live on BBC1’s Final Score on Saturday

He was debating a tussle between Fernando Torres and Jan Vertonghen the Tottenham-Chelsea game

Football fans on Twitter criticised decision to issue apology

By Arthur Martin

A BBC football pundit has apologised for saying two Premier League players had behaved ‘like a pair of girls’.

Former Liverpool and England striker Robbie Fowler was discussing the Tottenham-Chelsea game on Final Score on Saturday when he made the comment.

But his apology left fans claiming it was another example of the BBC’s obsession with political correctness.

During the game, Chelsea striker Fernando Torres and Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen had been involved in a series of clashes.

Fowler said: ‘Torres and Vertonghen were at each other’s throats all game, like a couple of girls – pulling each other’s shirts and pushing each other.’

Less than half an hour later, Fowler apologised on the live BBC1 show. ‘I made a comment about women’s football. I do apologise,’ he said.

OK, we got ya. Now that should have been it. Right?
But oh no.
It now gets kinda cringe worthy.

‘I’m a big, big fan of Liverpool Ladies actually, who have a chance of winning the league tomorrow. I’ll be watching that.

‘Anyone at home who was offended – I’m deeply sorry. I hope that’s the end of that.’

Within minutes, football fans used Twitter and online forums to criticise the decision to issue an apology.

Owen Jones tweeted: ‘Robbie Fowler being made to apologise for saying Vertonghen and Torres were fighting “like girls” is an absolute joke. It’s political correctness gone mad.’

James Wilson added: ‘This is a massive low. Embarrassing.’

more plus see the photos

Two months ago Fowler’s former club Liverpool released a list of words and phrases that they want to ban from the terraces, including ‘play like a girl’ and ‘don’t be a woman’.

And in other news of the day.

Last week I shared the good news that a couple hundred immigrants trying to sneak into Europe, drowned when their boat caught fire. Well, the final figure looks to be 339 died. Hurray!  Better than expected. The bad news was that some 20 were saved. But hey, 300 plus is still a win,win.

Now comes news that another boatload of the riff-raff has sunk in the same place, but only about a dozen drowned.
Well you know, can not win em all.

And finally.
As many of you will be aware from USA papers and TV news, the maggot,faggot Manning who leaked all those papers insists on being referred to as, Chelsea cos, deep down you see he is a girl.  OK. Whatever.  But leave it to the PC left wing press, who the maggot I am certain would not be reading UK papers where he is, well they are indeed now referring to him by his chosen name of Chelsea.  Which is beyond stupid because unless Uncle Sam pays for a sex change while he is in prison, he has male parts and Chelsea is outta bounds.  Sure hope the guards don’t have to follow a politically correct line and accede to his demand. And btw ... as I read it here, it is a demand and not a request the vermin is making.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
