No, making light of a situation in which he is asked a very personal question on the spot Not everything has to be so sensationalist. He's apologised, but in his defence he should absolutely not have been asked that question as it has nothing to do with football! |  | |  |

You have physical cuts on show and you expect a journo NOT to ask about it.... that's not how it works. ( I picked at a spot ) easy way to answer that. But no, I wanna harm myself hehe isn't great. |  |

He's been here 8 years, so that excuse doesn't fit. Anyways, can see that it's bothered me more than others so will leave it here. |  |

I get that being dramatic is your shtick, but it's one tiny scratch on his nose. Of course I don't expect a journo to ask about it in a game where city have gone from 3-0 up to drawing 3-3 and Pep is on his worst run of form ever! There's much bigger talking points than a scratch on a nose. He responded awkwardly to a garbage question. He's apologised and clearly wasn't meaning to make light of self harm |  | |  |

it's absolutely ridiculous isn't. no one is capable of exercising any form or judgement or proportionately. yes self-harm is a serious issue, but that doesn't mean it can't be included in normal speech or indeed, as an abstract concept, be joked about. even death, which is a very bad thing, can still be joked about. people adopting an absolutist and puritanical approach to what can or can't be said, and looking to be offended just for the sake of demonstrating their sensitivity to offence, are killing* healthy social communication. * ahhh, i referred to 'killing', but killing is of course very very bad and i should never use the word flippantly or figuratively. how can i be so insensitive?

He was asked the question on the scratch, not on a spot. |  |

I don't think he was. Also, the journo stayed quite after Pep explained himself, leaving Pep a void to fill. |  |

Like most things its about intent isn't it? We don't want to become a society that's intent on dragging someone over the coals for a clumsy comment. If there was intent to be an arse that's a different thing altogether, but that doesn't feel like its the case. Funny how people complain of the lack of personalities in football and that press conferences are highly PR trained sound bites, but then are so quick to pick up on any minor indiscretion and dig them out for it. Can't blame players and managers for giving feck all in front of the camera. [Post edited 27 Nov 2024 14:13]

and sillier still: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr5mym9l1e5o people police language in an attempt to exercise control over others and to insidiously assert themselves as moral arbiters. pathetic. [Post edited 27 Nov 2024 15:03]
