You were just using this issue as an opportunity to troll. Don't do it again.

That's somewhat ironic.
When GPA went under and Ryan had to sell it to GE for a song, the alleged conversation between Ryan and Jack Welch went something like this:
Ryan: This isn't business, it's rape
Welch: Well you shouldn't go around with your trousers down then.
(BTW, I understand Ringo's position but agree that use of the term is valid.)
Oh no.
I believe the Ryanair guy said: We raped them!!
I can understand why Ringo might find that one offensive.

Different transaction - that's why I thought it ironic O'Leary using the expression years later

Well I dont think that anyone would put it passed him (from the business point of view of course!)
I also sympathise with Ringo but believe that the word was used in the correct context, the allegy with City murdering Rovers hit the nail on the head.
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
Nope...no matter how many times I look at that post, I still can't see anything wrong with it...

Nothing wrong with using 'rape' in the context it was used. I'm sorry, but the supposed onus on people today to avoid offending people despite 100% genuine intentions really gets on my wick. How about those (the vast minority) that seek (and find) offence swallow hard and keep their mouths shut? FFS, is the ultimate goal that nobobdy will be inadvertently offended ever again? Pish!

I agree with fosterdollar née Magoo. Some people seem to go out of their way to be offended these days.
(I'm not talking about this particular incident. See the way I had to put that in to avoid offending anyone?)

Maybe I overreacted, but I said what I said & didn’t expect it to develop into this long discussion on the use of the word. I’ve been insulted & slagged off loads of times on this board, as a Home Farm Fingal Everton Dublin City” supporter you have to have a thick skin. I think some people take soccer to seriously (me include sometimes).I agree with fosterdollar née Magoo. Some people seem to go out of their way to be offended these days.

Can't you see, Ringo? It's the non-PC revolution. It will not be televised.
