"downie"

Sullivan refers to Solly as a "downie" on Twitter - any idea what he means ?

  • Slang term for Down Syndrome.
  • What a wanker he is then

    Agree mate but probably not worth highlighting as a thread so it gets picked up in the papers/ upsets readers.

  • not me who made the thread

    I meant the thread....that im now quoting on to keep it rising! ;-)

    Why not ?

  • Exactly Pl54
  • Fair enough Pl54 its a disgusting and offensive thing to say but im saying theres enough people waiting to pick up on any ill thought out comment and put it in papers etc and sure it doesnt need highlighting publicly in the mass media or to upset/ offend anyone else on here who may read about it as much of a twat he is for doing it.

    Not in anyway defending it and someone should have a quiet word and tell him not to be such a pillock coming out with stuff like that though defo.
  • If that is what he meant by the phrase then he deserves sacking (IMO)

    I find it as offensive as comparable comments around gender, race, sexuality etc

  • I think its Robbie Elliot who uses the term 'downie'
  • I think its Robbie Elliot who uses the term 'downie'

    Could be - I don' t know how it all works in truth

  • I thought it meant someone who comes from Downham.
  • Nasty.
    But not as offensive as a 'Dowie'
  • Chris Solly lives in Medway, part of the North Downs

    Downie = From the North Downs

  • yeah right

    Maybe its true and not everyone is a . Maybe you have taken it out of context and maybe its you who needs to sort yourself out.
  • listen i was not the one who put this up and im not losing sleep on this,prob i should have not put the w word up but dont be telling me to sort myself out you dick head
  • Man up... It's thrown about nowdays to mean idiot
  • Man up ?

    Does the fact (?) that you think it's acceptable make it acceptable ?

    If it does mean someone with Downs Syndrome then that makes him and you ####'s.
  • Apologies for the language i just hate when people act offended by everything nowadays and the way the possible explanation was just dismissed. You can't just criticise someone for something just because you jump to your own conclusions.
  • He calls him it because he says he look like he's from Downham. That ok?
  • im not acting offended if and your right now IF its relating to downs syndrome i stand by the wanker comment,its a message board somebody put something up and it will get reactions,apology accepted

    Is that what you think he meant ?

  • Give it a rest FFS!!!
  • Banter
  • Give it a rest FFS!!!

    Why ? Do you think that type of comment is acceptable, if it is what most people here believe it is ?
  • We've just finished a game, not an hour ago...........and witnessed a goal that none of us are ever likely to forget.
    Were you at The Valley tonight?
  • No I wasn't - does that not allow me an opinion on this issue ?
  • You've got an opinion on something that you don't know what was meant..and I guess Sullivan doesn't either.
    Anyway I was at The Valley..........would you like to hear about the goal or the game?

    So you don't really know who's saying what about who.
    Why don't you give it a rest aye.
  • Reason to be outraged number 764
  • If you bunch of morons lift the carpet high enough you'll be able to hide all sorts under there.

    Sad that you think it's acceptable.

    Hey ho.

  • Who the fook is saying that you paper hat..we've just finished a match with a wonder goal.........just all getting in from the game and unwinding and you're on here twittering on about something that is pure speculation on your part.
    Your sense of timing and logic is simply ridiculous!
  • I've changed the category of the thread to Fun / Jokes / Captions so you can avoid it easier - sorry if it distracted you or caused offence.

    You think it's funny? a joke? sicko


    ;)
  • oh crikey tell me the whisper option is no longer...
  • Oh don't come the bloody burning martyr stuff PL.......... FFS!!
  • Twitter, eh?

    People will make their banter public by using Twitter.

    And then you've got people analysing other peoples' banter to the nth degree.
  • Why is this being highlighted? He said something bad. He didn't mean it in an offensive way.

    My genitals find that offensive, I feel you should be banned
  • Someone sink this thread please
  • I'm deeply offended by something written on here that I have second guessed to mean exactly what I want it to mean .......apparently a PL54 is an adapter for a Panasonic camera and I feel hurt by such a blatant use if this forum for advertising .
  • I'm deeply offended by something written on here that I have second guessed to mean exactly what I want it to mean .......apparently a PL54 is an adapter for a Panasonic camera and I feel hurt by such a blatant use if this forum for advertising .

    Well I think it is acceptable and people just need to chill out and only listen to my point of view. Dick head

  • You guys are hilarious - so funny.

    Whereas you most certainly are not...calling for a guy to be sacked and ending his career over a comment that you (and quite likely he) doesn't even know what it means.........Jeeeeeeeeeezuz H Christ!!
    You then try to say that we are uncaring...........but it's OK for you to suggest a guy should lose his living, demonised and be put up for public ridicule.
    We are not all perfect and say and do things we may regret.
    Any way PL, how about the game last night..........what did you think?.
