Lavelle was one of the few ‘Leaders’ in the Dressing Room last Season by all accounts, the lad at least gives a shit… Didn't want to play at Derby last game. Where are you getting that from? Not saying it's not true just curious as not heard that before.

Wasn't he also dealing with multiple family issues last year? I'd say the fact he made himself available pretty much every week even when he was struggling puts him above a lot of our squad last year, especially given him and his missus were getting death threats from the more empathetic of our lot.

Is "Yank" considered a racist term?
It's definitely not a word I use, considering the history etc.

What does the British expression yanks mean? Yankee is sometimes abbreviated as “Yank.” People from all over the world, including Great Britain, Australia, and South America, use the term to describe Americans. (In Spanish, it's spelled yanqui.) Sometimes, it's a negative description. Other times, it's a playful term.19 Oct 2023 education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/yankee/

"Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gary Rossington told the story in the documentary "If I Leave Here Tomorrow" of the band's first time touring in England, and being called Yanks by the Brits, which as Southerners, they found to be an affront. Per Rossington, that's partly why they began flying the Confederate flag — to distinguish themselves from actual Yanks. So there's at least one example of Americans taking offense to the term."

I love Lynyrd Skynrd, one of my favourite bands, but they managed to take offence at a lot of things including MCA records and Neil Young. Mind you, Neil Young is just as bad.

I'd forgotten that! It still didn't stop him writing 'Southern Man' and Sknyrd 'replying' with a verse in Sweet Home Alabama. Both great songs.

Excellent documentary that, I watched it around three months ago.

Neil Young and Ronnie Van Zant were actually friends, with a lot of respect for one another. Ronnie wore a Neil Young t-shirt during a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert not long before the fatal airplane crash. Great musicians.

I saw Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young at the old Wembley Stadium in September 1974. They played an astonishing 4-hour set. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes was a highlight for myself, only topped with 75,000 of us singing along to the poignant Ohio. (These two songs are nowadays top favourites of Mrs WLYC and Nipples.)
Jesse Colin Young started the day off (I was already a big fan) and the crowd insisted on "more" even though the roadies had started to disassemble the gear. Joni Mitchell was likewise awesome. Little did I know back then that I'd have contact with them both later in my life.
Sadly, I never got to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in the flesh before the crash. I saw Neil Young again in the early '80s, when he was possibly at his best, sitting in the second row.

Looking increasingly like a man in the last year of his career.
