Weghorst Reception

[Robbie_painter]

A thread about wout weghorst has now been turned into an anti brexit racist conspiracy theorist thread.Mental.

[HahaYeah]

I Think the Buy Large Mansions crowd started it.

[spt_claret]

Fully agree -

I can only put it down to the ‘local town for local people’ sort of types that have barely left the BB postcode.

Same type that try and ostracise people and think that they’re ‘weird’ for not daring to live up to the lazy stereotype of what someone from a town in the north of England should be.

I don't even know if it's that - I for one always felt our 'unfashionable' old-fashioned image under Dyche had real marketing potential precisely for our image of a club with traditional values, if we'd played up the positive traditional associations - local community focus, homegrown player development, honest, hard but fair football, hard work and a sense of distinct identity and character compared to a lot of homogeneous clubs.

I think there's just people who take dislikes to players, or managers even, and need a scapegoat. Human nature really people usually don't want to be proven wrong and argue for what they want to be true- rather than arguing a null hypothesis/hoping to be proven wrong. I'm a football pessimist, so often want to be wrong and I've been proven wrong plenty especially in the last year. I'll admit Weghorst is one I want to be right on as I've followed him since the Bundesliga and always rated him, but I can't understand wanting to be right about a negative prediction.

[Jakubclaret]

Yes, and even though the Premier League dropped BLM very soon and used the term , 'against all forms of discrimination', some people continued to ignore that change as it suited their very questionable agenda. This subject, Weghorst Reception, should probably be locked now to give everyone an opportunity to move on. Let's give the lad a chance. Let's unite behind every player at the club and make every opponent ' the enemy'. VK did ask the fans to make Turf Moor a difficult place for visiting teams. Booing our own player doesn't do that. It will probably have our opponents laughing at us.

The only thing that is questionable is the lack of sincere synergy between words & actions not matching up, if a group of people claimed to me that they wanted to promote/advance a form of rightwing ideology & in order to transmit that message a gesture of an inaudible heil Hitler salute would be carried out prior to the commencement of sporting events & dismissed any connection to Nazism, I'd be extremely sceptical & it's something I wouldn't want to buy into or have anything to do with.

We've had Brexit and Nazi's mentioned so far. I'm only short of Tories, Donald Trump and Andrew Tate and I've got house.

[Darnhill Claret]

Thanks Jakubclaret, I knew I could depend on you. I rest my case.

[Jakubclaret]

Thanks Jakubclaret, I knew I could depend on you. I rest my case.

You are welcome & I appreciate the constructive reply to my post

[Darnhill Claret]

I think if we continued to and fro, we would have some complaints so I'm trying not to fall into that trap, but thanks for the very sincere compliment.

I didn't think you could get much worse, but, in a single sentence, you've proved me wrong.

Isn’t it amazing how conversations can just develop and deviate like that?
Glad it doesn’t happen like that in the pub - be carnage.

News to anyone who has been in a pub conversation that they never deviate and develop I'd have thought

And I feel like I need to point this out, it was one of your lot that started it with a ludicrously silly post

[CoolClaret]

Godwins law…

Worth mentioning that JakubClaret is not a serious person, like at all.. it should be pretty evident now.

I thought he was just a bit of a nutter at first but was good value to have a read and laugh at but he’s just a wind up merchant.

Deliberately spouts complete and utter drivel, I don’t know why he bothers

[Anthonini]

Nothing more bonkers than supporting the next thing the TV tells you to support and calling others far right for not playing along.

Maybe Wout Weghorst is glad that the pressure is off a bit now fans started arguing about boiled eggs and Nazis.

There is a huge difference between selectively researching stuff for yourself and searching for stuff that only suits your agenda and opinions on stuff

You see it on here all the time unfortunately and its pretty frustrating

The most recent example being someone claiming something that wasn't true pre-2016, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and still claiming it is in 2023

Thats not someone who is interested in the truth unfortunately, all they are interested in is stuff that backs up their very strongly held pre-conceived opinion

That is really bad news because it allows governments/organisations/whoever to essentially get away with what ever they want, secure in the knowledge that the support base doesn't care as long as their prejudices are being met

Makes a change from you banging that drum….

Anyway. “One of your lot”? means what exactly?
Not very inclusive that statement is it?

Apologies, I ought to tune into InfoWars, Russell Brand & David Icke to properly be informed* about the news & current affairs.

Hey, I've no problem with you, er "banging that drum" bobinho, I just wish you'd try to pretend that you are interested in the reality of it

How do you think your decision is going?

[bobinho]

I think the decision is being managed very poorly. I also think there are too many people with a vested interested in the whole thing failing rather than actually trying their level best to make it a success.

Without doubt, it could be considerably better.

Anyway, in light of CT’s recent post about this board being a platform for cohesion and harmony, I declare I fully support your views on Weghorst. I also wholeheartedly agree with those who think those that are booing a Burnley player whilst he’s on the pitch representing our club is utterly bizarre.
I’d also like to suggest that I think it would be a very good idea if the manager and players helped pour some water on this…(a bit like Bens statement after the plane incident at the etihad, but maybe not quite as intensely as Ben delivered the message) it can’t have escaped their notice.

I’m just gonna stick to the subject title from now on.

Of course not. But it proves that nowadays we need alot of discernment if you realise that even the opposition is controlled. Why do you think they allow these guys to have a platform? They say some things everyone would agree with and then mix it up with absurdities.

The fact that you say that shows you haven't researched anything. Worse than that you think that searching for your own information is what a crazy conspiracist would do.

Talking about an agenda... You think civilians have an agenda? Talk about agenda 2030 and what it really means.

Have you heard of 15 minute cities? They are going to rub the climate change and equality in your face so badly that you would give up everything to live in a sick communist regime. If only they could make you feel like it's for your own best interests.

Unfortunately I think he is a serious person - it would be better if he was just a wind up merchant.
He posted an awful homophobic comment earlier this week - which I reported and the mods removed. Before it was removed he laughed it off as “it’s called a sense of humour”.
I’m not sure what it takes for him to be permanently banned…..the guy is an absolute moron.
If he denies posting this I took a screenshot and will post it on this thread and we can see who exactly shares his “sense of humour”.

You took a screenshot? Are people so sad they do this kind of thing?

It was intended as a joke with no sense of homophobia intended, by all means dredge it up if it makes your day.

[Taffy on the wing]

The world's falling apart........its Weghorst's fault!

[Anthonini]

Where was Weghorst vs Betis btw? Was he injured?

[Robbie_painter]

You took a screenshot? Are people so sad they do this kind of thing?

Be careful you wouldn’t want him screenshooting your comment

[HahaYeah]

I doubt he has a screenshot,no one is that sad.

[HahaYeah]

Weggie was on the bench,some were speculating that it's over for him now.

[Jakubclaret]

The thing is I would have retracted/deleted the post if I thought the post caused offence without the mods intervention, it's no surprise within itself a big deal from a certain posters been made from something that was intended as a joke.

The 15 minute cities protesters are really bizarre. Which is helpful in many ways as it emphasises what a good idea they are when those loons are the ones against them.

But, most importantly, what does Weghorst's body language tell you his views on 15 minute cities are?

[HahaYeah]

I hope he stays and proves a few wrong if VK can utilise him.

“Certain posters” ?

Which posters exactly - other than you - do you think would agree that it’s ok or funny for you to say :

“Bum bandits go up back alleys”

And when have you retracted or deleted anything ? This board is full of your moronic sh-ite.

If it's so offensive, why are you repeating it? Just let it drop it's boring, you report something & it's removed & then you decide to put it back up again. It's not homophobic anyway because heterosexuals indulge.

[Big Vinny K]

It's not homophobic anyway because heterosexuals indulge.

And there we are

[Jakubclaret]

And there we are

Is it true or false?

[Rileybobs]

God this place is full of scumbags.

Totally agree, no need to call people a 'scumbag' for having a different opinion.

[Jakubclaret]

1 poster created the catalyst for this particular subject by jumping from 1 thread to another & even posting a post what he had specifically requested for to be removed, I suggest look no further.

[Pearcey]

Given Weghorst came back much later than the rest of the squad, it’s hardly surprising that he isn’t playing every game.

While I think he’ll move on, I wouldn’t mind if he stayed as he gives us a different option.

Did you post this on the correct thread

I don't mind if he stays or goes. At the end of the day its VK's decision and thats good enough for me.
