The Chris Sutton Ofcom Complaint Shows How Pathetic Some Peepul Are.

One of the dumbest stories of the week so far involves Chris Sutton. I read this and had to check the date to make sure that it wasn’t an April Fool joke. This week, he was cleared by Ofcom for making a comment about Matt O’Riley having “balls” when he converted his penalty kick at Ibrox. This was, it seems, the subject of actual complaints.

But who in their right mind would ever complain about such a thing? Well, who else but our friends the Peepul across town? A few of them have even admitted this on the madder forums, where even their fellow members have scorned them as pathetic.

And it is pathetic. Of course it is. Some of them sought to defend it by comparing it to our own anger at the comments made by Ally McCoist on the Hate Crime Bill, the sort of comparison that makes you want to slap someone around the side of the head.

McCoist expressed his intent to commit a racially aggravated criminal offence. Chris Sutton said the word balls, in context. It’s not, to the best of my knowledge, on any of the fabled “lists of words you can’t say on television”, even the ones which George Carlin immortalised all those years ago. Not even the most curtain twitching neighbourhood nosy would get in a strop over the use of that word. So, who else but The Peepul would this have been?

They really do need to get a grip over there. Is this all they do?

Watch stuff and listen to stuff, their heads so filled with hatred that they are literally just doing it to look for things like this? Who sits watching the football and then immediately rushes to fill an Ofcom complaint against a commentator? It’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.

It boggles the mind that Peepul like this exist.

The rest of the world must look at Scottish football at times and think we are half mad.

Half of us certainly are.
