Indeed, Macca, but if the issue is that of people being discriminated against purely on the colour of their skin, how can the colour of their skin not be referred to ?

All very well but they are ignoring the real issue. White, English players are under-represented in the Premier League.

Who's kneeling for them?

The Premier League is clearly institutionally racist against white English players (I'm surprised someone hasn't already mentioned this).

It'll be yet another u-turn but this one is, at least, fair enough and not the result of an earlier moronic decision.

A lovely article, thanks.

Losing Wood is a blow, his aerial threat might have given City problems at set-pieces.
JBG and Barnes missing is no surprise.

Like many others i'm totally against players having BLM on the shirts and kneeling for a career criminal who died four thousand miles away, If I was to wear a shirt with 'white lives matter' I would be called a racist.. To me and many others BLM are a racist group with Antifa being supporters of th...

RIP Vera my dad loved you. I was just thinking about her the other day and how she would feel when I read the article about changing the name of the White Cliffs of Dover because of BLM. Hopefully she wasn't even aware of it.

Ha, ha - good one !

Where did you read that ?

It's down to choice, luckily, there won't be many players, if any, not wishing to support a black team mate or opponent.
The James McClean mockrage crops up every year for about five posts on here.

Jamie Carragher gave DL a right going-over after the game. No mercy !
Carragher may be a bit of a knob but, fair play, he said what he saw.

There are fundamental issues which need highlighting. Some find it easier to shirk responsibilities, for some reason, and merely snipe from the sidelines, others choose to make a stance even if it is symbolic. Others choose not to be fussed either way. We are going to be watched by millions of viewe...

So, come on Ringo, do you think a parent should support his struggling lad ?

Yes or no ?

evensteadiereddie

Oh dear, me offering you advice regarding your lad's failing education is trolling, is it ? You claim your lad's school is institutionally racist and sexist towards your lad and other poor, white lads like him yet are quite happy to let it happen ? Who on earth would do that and why ? Looks more lik...

evensteadiereddie

Sorry, Ringo, if you're taking my very constructive advice personally. No offence meant. The facts are simple : you believe sexism and racism are rampant in all our schools, including your lad's. The government are appointing a commission to examine the extent of racism in all aspects of our society...

evensteadiereddie

Sorry, Ringo, have the commission reported back yet ? Proved your theory ? Have you contacted your lad's school re his underachievement ? Have you examined YOUR role in his weakness at school ? No to all, I'm afraid. You've predicted nothing. You make it sound like the government are ONLY looking in...

It's a pity because, for once, he did actually raise a meaningful point about a vital issue. The point could have been discussed in much detail if the bloke actually cared enough about the alleged problems of racism and sexism, so entrenched in our school system apparently, and their alleged effect ...

You been in touch with your lad's school to see exactly to what extent the racist and gender discrimination is yet ? ;) No ? So you've no details or proof to share with us of this phenomenon ?

Not on last night's news, they didn't, coaster. Fair play to Rashford for helping bring about this u-turn.

A fabulous effort. Nice to see a bloke identifying a very serious issue regarding children's welfare and actually doing something about it by using wider social media (not just a football message board) and writing an open letter to MPs. Issue identified, issue publicised, issue sorted. Good man, a ...

Coppel seemed to be having words with OC at the end - did we ever hear what it was about? I think he was probably telling Coyle that he'd just finished Coppell's managerial career. I always remember one of the following morning's papers describing Coppell as looking and dressing like an undertaker ...

Another thing I find fascinating about the cam set-up is that you can go on at 10.30 of a night and it's still daylight up there.
I think it was one day last week when the nightcam kicked in for about four hours or something ridiculous.
A nice end to the day.

I've been on a roll on this board the last couple of days so nothing can go wrong here - apart from not turning up and when I do, being absolute pants at this malarkey.

Superb. A few years ago, before our kids flew the nest, we used to throw the leftover chicken carcase onto the roof of the villa we'd rented. It was a matter of minutes before the most hideous-looking vulture type birds came a-scavenging. They weren't pretty but they were very interesting to watch, ...

I'm not sure they do. I saw the nest there last year from one of the hides but no ospreys sadly. There was a cam focussed on a nest near "Poole Harbour" but a no-show from the male meant an unfertilised egg that lay cold in the nest and its eventual desertion. Corrected ! There are - that's great ne...

The number and size of the fish the male delivers on a daily basis is pretty impressive.

I'm afraid Cummings has a lot to answer for. Once that fiasco came out, lockdown was never going to mean the same to a lot of people.
