[FiveTimes]

If it was a boxing match it would have been stopped in the 6th. Best Prem win since ManUtuliped beat Ipswich 9-0

and what have you won

great result - lets see how the seasons pans out

The term Yid is steeped in glory atm

HTH

Actually, it is offensive used in the derogatory way that you have.
Just like queer, w*g, paki and n!gger are offensive too.

But at least you've shown your true colours now, for the racist imbecile you are.

It certainly was when I was at school in North London. It was used as a term to describe Spurs supporters specifically to upset them.

However, I see this may no longer be true.

Edit: and possibly has not been true since 1936:

Hotspur fans call themselves the “Yids”, a name they adopted in 1936 when Oswald Mosley, leader of Britain’s fascist movement, led a march through London’s East End, calling “down with the Yids”.

Proud to be a Yid.

Imbecile yes, racist no. HTH.

Does that mean that you are Jewish, or a spurs fan, or both?

I did some research and it changed my opinion 180°. It is four posts up from here; the Tottenham Hotspur fans call themselves 'yids' in support of Jews and to spite anti-semitists.

This warrants being brought to consciousness again.

It appears that specifically in reference to Spurs fans, the term 'yid' is not offensive. Link.

both. I do not find this term offensive. I think a minor over reaction has occured here. I accept this. I shall desist from using this term in future in case any such minor over reactions should occur in future.

Thanks for your help RC. I shall drop it. Some people thrive on being offended.

[scotspine]

Some people thrive on being offended.

and some simply get offended. still, if what rc says is the case, and i have no reason to doubt it, then i can accept that perhaps you didn't use the term with a view to being offensive. i'm not trying to be overly pc here, but simply trying to ensure fair play for all.
cheers
