What a decent fella Harry is. Speaks plain, common sense on Malky Mackey

[Rangers77]

Nothing in it for Harry by saying this. Top, top man. My admiration for him is unbound.

Harry's right. Still doesn't make it ok.

Hope Mackay has the book thrown at him.

Using the word chinky is as bad as ni*ger or p*ki.

Let himself & his family down big time.

Can see the headline tomorrow..

'Malkey Mackay arrested over paedophilic text messages and material sent to Iain Moody'

What was that harry? Not a paedo you say?

Agree with the last two points. But, as Harry says, everyone deserves a second chance. To be judged by the entirety of their character.

Why on earth has he brought up ****, murder and paedophilia? Who was suggesting that what Malky had said was as bad as that?

You do start to lose your marbles at close to 70 don't you?.. HR is 67...

Hmmmm.

It's a shame because he's a decent manager. Can't see any club going near him for a few years. He brought it on himself though, so no sympathy here.

Don't **** with Tan.

[Rangers77]

Yep. Tan did him good and proper. Waited until Palace offered him a job. Cold blooded revenge is seemingly a far lesser sin than some stupid, idiotic and offensive private comments.

[FurtiveFox]

He was stupid but lets face it blokes go to extremes in banter and we think nothing of it. I have various muslim friends and they find all the PCness on race hilarious. If it's genuine banter it is not abuse. If it's not genuine banter should be stamped on.

[stationcafe]

Yeah but as a figure in the public sphere he should've been careful about what he says. Especially when you're putting it in writing - that **** does not go away. He's a ****ing idiot anyway, wasn't funny in the slightest.

Saw an interview with Tan where was saying Malky basically spent more than was allocated, blew 35M+ in that promotion season. Spent 10M & 45k a week on a 20yr old striker who only got 8 apps & 0 goals before going back to Copenhagen… Malky played the media at the time but like I said, **** him.

And how have the LMA come out and said it was just banter? ****ing hell, what year are they living in? Hardly makes English football look good does it?

Rubbish, nothing wrong with either the P or C word when used in conversation to mates or private texts. Way over the top political correctness in this country and its getting worse.

What is wrong with you all!!??

Those texts are a disgrace. As a Jew I can't say I'd want him at our club after he made his views perfectly clear on my religion.
I'm sure any Korean fans won't want to be called 'Chinky's' either.

His attitude is stale, old and outdated. Redknapp has a point about him not killing anyone, but he has deeply offended a hell of a lot of people.

Hope he doesn't work in the game again. he's a racist, end of. There's no place for it in the sport. How is what he said any better than JT to Anton?

Can you really, really believe that five or six stupid private comments, however offensive, should tarnish a man's life for ever? That they prove, beyond any imaginable or reasonable doubt, that Mackey is a vile racist and someone who has to be punished only by being ostracised?? To be denied the right to work in his chosen profession ever again? Have you no belief in redemption? Can you not recognise that actions mean more than words? Are you not big enough to accept a heartfelt apology? Or is the case that being aggrieved makes you feel powerful?

Spot on....left wing witch hunt as all the do-gooders and the self-righteous lot go into torch brandishing overdrive. Never fails to amuse me.
