Kyle Lafferty

[Blue Bell Lad]

To say you can’t be offended on someone’s behalf is an opinion.

It's not an opinion.

And no one bit.

Your attempt to seem clever just failed, that's all.

He's coming across as a reet plum marra . Trying for bites ffs.

 

[Vore]

It's apparent that the flute holds some special religious significance to the scotch.

 

[Linus]

He might do a job but it’s hardly as resounding message to say we mean business and want to get out of this league. Although I wasn’t expecting that tbh.

Isn't that the point, to do a job? why would you be worrying about messages if he does?

 

[West_Winger]

What's the issue with this flute carry on? Were the Irish beaten into submission by a flute army or something?

The orange order marchers use flutes to march to a song called The Sash and Rangers have a delightful tune about buying a flute for 50p. Sectarian bullocks that has no place in sport basically.

I use ‘might’ very thinly. This blokes done nowt for nearly half a decade.

Also I’m covering myself for any future possible bumpage

Wait a minute. Have I missed something here? Someone made a comment about @Doberman being supporter liaison officer, which I took to be an obvious joke based on the now-deleted Tweet. But it was then followed by multiple posts implying it is actually the case. Have these posters been completely obviously whooshed? Or am I now victim of the whoosh?

Doberman does now work for the club alongside Chris Waters as they've extended the supporter liaison team. When this tweet came out people made a joke that it will have been him tweeting it because of his support for Rangers. It was a joke because obviously the supporter liaison team won't be involved in tweeting for the official club account which would be handled by the media and communications team. He definitely works for the club now though, and I'm sure he'll do a canny job and try his best despite some suggesting he's randomly not going to help Catholics, or some such nonsense

 

[SAFC_Jack]

A poor error but seems a bit of a storm in a teacup, to me.

 

[hank williams]

Even though he was married in a Catholic Church

I've made some monumental cock ups on here

But sheesh

You sound like a politician lol

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

The club should’ve done some research before tweeting this.

He’s not 7ft ffs.

 

[Pepe]

Fuck off man, it's a tweet.

Which is how we chose to announce our new signing, like every other signing. It is also a social media tool which is used by almost every football club as a mean of communicating with their supporter base and the rest of the World.

It contained sectarianism of which shouldn’t be associated with the football club I support or anywhere in society. People makes mistakes, we all do but clearly the checks and balances didn’t take hold here and the shoddy output of Sunderland AFC is generally indicative of the ongoing mess at the place.

Stick that in your flute and smoke it.

Fair enough.
I'm butting in, in case he turns into a very tall Messi.

It's a non article this. What has Kyle Lafferty and a flute got to do with anything?

 

[peil]

If only you read the previous pages, you might have an idea

 

[hank williams]

I haven't got a clue what the flute crack is all about like.

Seriously

 

[AscotMackem]

Being offended is a personal feeling. You can't extend that.

Are you being deliberately thick?

Mate, he's offender fluid

Precious you aren't ya
People having a meltdown on here over this are the same suspected melts.

 

[Sheep farmer]

You'll be amazed about how many people do get offended on others' behalf...

Not anymore, I won't. The world's full of them

I hadn't realised it was offensive until lots of sensitive people started going on about it

 

[FML19711]

From BBC Sport.

Sunderland say a tweet posted about new signing Kyle Lafferty which referred to loyalist pipe bands was a "genuine mistake".

more...

Why is this even newsworthy?

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Sunderland: League One club say Kyle Lafferty flute tweet was 'genuine mistake' gerrin

The bloke who runs our social media accounts is a bit of an idiot. He's always posting zany bantz. I'm glad this has bitten him on the arse.

It's like a competition at the moment, 'Who can embarrass the club with the thickest quote?!'

 

[Billy Batts]

It's only Celtic fans he'll have upset. Fuck em.
