NFR Hernandez & Knockaert

Both were up to their usual cheating yesterday. They & other players who keep doing it are a cancer in the game. Just getting an occasional yellow card is not enough. Both should get a yellow card & at least a one game ban every time.

Cancer is a very strong word. Too strong considering it's the epitome of evil. Please rephrase.

I agree with the misuse of the word 'cancer'. I unfortunately have incurable cancer, and when I see it used in such a frivolous way it is very disappointing. When you are told that you have inoperable cancer it puts everything else into perspective.

Hernandez'z nickname is The Little Pea...I think it should be The Little S***.  :022:

Unfortunately it's a term used too often these days without thought for those either suffering from it or those around them.
I'm sure the idea that his words would upset or cause offence were furthest from Grandad's mind when he wrote the post.
I wish you all the best in your fight Grumpy. Makes you realise there's bigger battles in life than relegation.

Thanks I Ronic. I'm sure you're right. If you were to raise the issue with people misusing the word they would in all probability be horrified as to how it can cause offence.

I work with a couple of Irons supporters and they find Hernandez an embarrassment.

I am sorry if I offended people with the use of the word cancer. I had a bowel polyp which the biopsy found to have cancer cells evident. This was removed 10 years ago so am still in remission. My wife had stage 2 bowel polyps & had 20cms removed. She is also in remission. I will choose my words more carefully but I hope you accept what I was really talking about.
