Yep. Fuck that shit.

Wanted to pop back in here to I guess say thank you that nobody said anything when I mentioned I was bisexual. It’s something that I don’t really talk about with anyone, like anyone. I felt absolutely ridiculous posting it on OA but I guess felt safe enough? Think that speaks to what a good forum we’ve got. Thanks comrades. Makes me feel like I could probably live out and bi, it’s not like it would change anything in my life. But yeah, thanks all. Big up yourselves. Okay, enough sappy stuff.

Congratulations to him

Fair play to him. Can’t have been an easy decision.

68

Even better that he’s young too as it sets a precedent to younger and older football players.

Hopefully football can make strides to eliminating the fears most gay footballers probably have about coming out.

That’s awesome. You’d like to think he’s got a great support system around him in terms of family/friends and also the club (although as I understand it, Blackpool is a bit of a mess?).

I didn’t realise how young he was. I hope his decision to come out doesn’t have a negative impact on his future.

71

Good on him, hopefully we will get to the point where they don’t even have to do this but takes real bravery to be the first in so long.

72

Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Not sure where your getting the mess thing from.
Ownership thing was sorted out a few seasons ago.
Pretty well run as steady championship club these days.
Don’t think they’ll be any issues with them tbh. Supporter’s pretty much won that club back.

You know what it was Strolls? There was a video from Copa about the family or guy that owned Blackpool who was a bit unsavory. I watched it recently but after I saw your post I checked and the video was six years old!

If you have a fine ass, you get a penalty.

What’s that mean?

“I hope you will respect me: I’m gay”

I always respect you, Dutch Gooner
