I think I may have seen the sentence in question. And while I agree that people may find this offensive, it is a word that is/has been used around the country for years. I am not saying that this is ok or acceptable, but growing up in Swansea, I heard it a lot. (Not heard it ever since leaving 20 plus years ago).
I think Banning the person in question may be a bit harsh. He may not know the effect it has had yourself or Lisa or some others posters.
He may apologise to those, he may not?
He may learn not to post it, or not?
I do not know the history of this persons posts, but I guess if it is always upsetting people then a ban may be in order.
If it’s a one off or mistake to learn from then that can be a good thing as one grows.

It was used freely a long time ago but hasn’t been considered acceptable for very many years.
Bluenile told him it was offensive and he ignored that and repeated it almost immediately. I’d like to think that he doesn’t understand the offence caused but when you’re told it’s offensive you would expect someone to stop and think and educate themselves before repeating it.

Swansea defy poor away record to beat Watford

The Welsh side had picked up just three points out of a possible 18 on the road under new manager Vitor Matos, but were convincing winners.

Yes. Looking back through the posts, I think I know what word was used, I haven’t heard it for years, but from what I saw in the quote post, I don’t think there was any real malice in it. Christ when was that phrase used frequently, late 80’s.

Obviously if you direct it towards a disabled person then that’s out of order, but in that context it’s slightly different. I would hope that there was no ill intent.
