Just for Bruce
During a Law course class, the 'Audi Alteram Partem' rule was explained. Translated it means "To hear the other party."
After discussing the subject at great length, the lecturer asked if anyone didn't understand the rule.
Responded one woman, "My husband."
I could add a few other names, but I won't because I do actually RESPECT your opinions, even though I disagree with them.

Paul McCartney was asked after his bad marriage experience if he would ever go down on one knee again? He replied "I would prefer it if you called her Heather!"

Bruce - I can do much better than that, but the point is made I hope. The jokes that would tickle your ribs aren't suitable for this forum, which has children reading it.
Before anyone states the obvious, just because others abuse the trust placed in them, doesn't mean I have to follow suit. I haven't ever swore on here, I have however quoted those who've sworn at me.
Bruce - a clean joke.
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

Please discount these comments (as I am totally sure you all will ) since I was not at the match and looking at the video evidence its difficult to put an objective view on this.
But one would hope that the club gives clear guidelines as to what is appropriate behaviour for the mascots and what is not.
It then comes all down to interpretation and we could go on with each persons definition of what is good taste and what is not.
When does slapstick become a gross representation of physical violence? Some peoples idea of what is acceptable behaviour may well impact on someone elses enjoyment of an event.
I refused to have Eastenders on in my house when my children were growing up. While some of the issues raised in the programme were perhaps relevant to the story line & society they were totally irrelevant and alien to our families experience. Therefore I judged not suitable viewing for my children.
I hope that we all agree we want to be able to use our own discretion about what is suitable viewing?
If you go to a match there is no on /off switch. At a certain age simulated sex between two consenting Hippos may well be a source of amusement ,at another age it may well invoke those distant memories of having not to rely on medication to work up a sweat with ones own pet hippo .
But there is a certain age where such behaviour perhaps would not be desirable to witness-exactly the same as bad language etc.
We do need to consider the feelings of others and to question the appropriateness of fornicating hippos (let alone people who would want to species cross- dress) as a public spectacle?
It would make life easier if we respected each others views ,but more so those of our children to grow up in a caring and appropriate environment?

This is a no brainer....The two individuals have a moral duty of decency as representatives of the football club to all their supporters.
This has not been observed.The club needs to appolgise and those individuals sacked.
I cannot believe the club hasn't already done so.
I think it was disgraceful and completely inexcusable.

It's "hats off" all round.
a) The youtube video, although not brilliant, was at least worth watching.
b) In the "related" vidoes to the link, I got to enjoy previously unseen-by-me footage of you beating Cardiff, back in the day.
c) Unless I'm mistaken, that looked like Lenny -L- on the wrong end of things. And also looking like he'd eaten a stinker of a pickled egg. Unlucky mate, Middlesbrough should have voted to stay in Yorkshire, instead of pissing off to another country.
d) Finally, some Ginner gets pulled up at full-time looking like a girl. Come on Ginsters, stick up for yourselves!!!
