The Pikey Footballer

I had a right laugh this morning when I read this article. It's about football's next big thing Freddy Eastwood who plays for Southend United in the English Championship. The reasons for the headlines this week is that Eastwood's Southend knocked Manchester United out of the Carling Cup with Eastwood himself scoring the decisive goal.


Buyin' Or Sellin A Gate Boss???


Well it turns out that Eastwood is, to quote one poster on the above article, a "do-as-you-likey", or pikey. Now this article disgusts me. Would a similar article have been written if he was openly gay.....or a black....or a woman....or a gay, black, pikey woman???? I'd wager not. It's time we stopped judging people on their race and judged them on their personalities. I think you'll find if you take the time to get to know someone you'll find many more reasons to hate them.


According to the article Freddy turned down a chance to join United as a trialest because it was too far from his halting site. It begs the question.....is he a bad traveller???
