    I know what you're saying mate. It's just the distinction of the skin colour bit that may be borderline. You'd probably get the banner removed at ER. Don't let me stop you though!

    why not just say the goalkeeping nade, the polish nade or the celtic nade? Why go for skin colour?

    Sorry but that sounds like a terrible idea for a banner. Just imo of course

    Totally agree. Anything relating to skin colour would be viewed as racist.

    Why is it racist to mention skin colour? Fact of the matter is Boruc is white, Nade is black. Can we not say that these days?

    Couldnae carry Nade rhymes. It works. Boruc doesn't have the same ring to it.

    Boruc the white Nade is just rubbish

    I know that factually, Nade is Black and Boruc is white but why does it have to come into it? Any comment that is pre-texted by a skin colour WILL be deemed racist in this day and age.

    I know the OP is not meaning it in a racist way but personally, I feel, "The Celtic Nade" would have a better impact with no chance of mis-interpretation.

    Lets just keep ourselves seperate from the knuckle dragging neadrethals from gorgie and glasgow.

    No an original idea would be better, rather than comparing him with someone most people outside Edinburgh haven't even heard of

    Absolutely agree - this notion that even mentioning the words black or white is somehow racist is pathetic nonsense IMO.
    The idea is based upon the (not entirely fictional) notion that both Nade and Boruc are fat useless fuds - nothing to do with race.
    If there was a brilliant female horse rider and she was labelled the female Lestor Piggot would that be sexist???

    So when someone comes out with a term like the "White Pele" it's racist? I think not.

    Racist it aint, but a pish banner it is.

    It's only racist if the person being used as the example for being ****/fat is black.

    Racism is only frowned upon in this country if the racism is directed at someone who is not white.

    What a Nade idea.

    Principally because, fat though he may be, god knows he's a good goalkeeper.
