Jason Lee aka Pineapple Head

[Darran]

Did anyone see this chap on the Welsh news earlier?
If so what’s your take on his Jason Lee comment?
Personally I thought it was complete bollox.

Well people that sung it were abusing him according to the chap on the Welsh news earlier.
They need to apologise for their historical abuse though I can understand you not singing it you didn’t support us back then.

Jason Lee was offended by the pineapple thing and reckoned it affected his game at the time. It was twenty years ago and no one else was offended besides him. These days it could be seen as bullying or racism but at the time it most definitely wasn’t. The real reason Jason Lee copped it was because he was playing for a crap Forest side on the decline and he couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo, he happened to have dreads so Baddiel and Skinner turned it in to a childish joke, no insinuation of racism whatsoever, at the time. That said, lessons have rightly been learned.

And every single white player with long hair gets abused and called a gypo these days.
Sickening stuff.

Jonathan "Jiffy" Davies said a few weeks back that people need to toughen up a bit.
Yes, abuse is wrong , but sometimes you just need to show you are made of thick skin and you'll realise you can get on with life and don't give the trolls a reaction.
