I wouldĀ not normally say anything to anyone if I knew it would offend. There are other times when I have been deliberately offensive but believe my words were justified.

Looking at the report, it really hasn't though, has it? He's probably more peeved that his mate didn't like his racist joke. They won't even have a laugh now, will they?

OriginalMrC Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Very good words from Worrincy. I'm staggered with Blackmore's response to this considering he said they were close friends. Dare I say, instead of making up some nonsense story, if he had admitted to an error of judgement and apologised wholeheartedly he wouldn't have got a 10 week ban. Just shows he had no remorse, and didn't even consider the impact on his friend.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
