Danny Rose

[Darnhill Claret]

Maybe some prem managers don’t want to be seen as trouble making managers, especially those from a few miles away. Danny Rose probably wasn’t expecting such a high proportion of fans to take his comments about the price of a night out in London (expensive) so literally.

It's almost as if some people want to talk about anything but the racism.

And some people want to talk about nothing but racism..

When the subject is racism, yes, we should talk about the racism instead of finding ways to hate on the victims of racism.

It's always the same types or people who try to distract and derail the conversation about racism that black footballers experience. We have a word for them too; racists.

How many close friends of a race different to yours do you have ?

[Jakubclaret]

Just heard a BBC report that described racism as “the biggest challenge facing the modern game”, is it? Really?

I’ve been to games fairly regularly over the last 20 years and I really don’t recall hearing or seeing too many racist incidents. Obviously, one is too many but it’s not the biggest challenge, surely?

Agree, there’s a few isolated incidents & 1 is too many, people seem to exaggerate the problem as if hundreds or thousands are at, you’ll always get odd idiots, people in the main would react against any racist fan & that alone would be enough to shut the person up,I’ve never witnessed any incidents.

I live with two.

Not that i accept your dumb premise, of course.

To be fair, you’re a race of your own.

As for Rose, he’s always whinging. Wasn’t he threatening to jack football in not so long ago because he was depressed?

I see he’s still playing, mind.

Does he need many, or any, to explain why people who're dismissing any form of racism are an issue?

If it helps I've got various family members who aren't white/Caucasian, both Muslim and Christians, gay, straight etc.
My friends list is similar, skin colour, religion or sexuality isn't an issue for me when it comes to choosing my friends.
Same with people I've worked with, both past and present.

So do you think the racism he's suffered/seen/heard could be a cause for his depression?
Especially if it's been going on for years with no signs of Fifa dishing out appropriate punishments anytime soon..

No, I think he’s just a bit of an attention seeker.

More playing the man and not the ball.

Have a read, it might enlighten you, but as it stands I doubt it.

Nah, he’s a gobshite like you, Sidney.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Nah, he’s a gobshite like you, Sidney.

I refer you to my previous comment about enlightenment.
You're part of the problem, as pointed out by Turtle.

I'm happy to be a gobshite if it means I'm not like a number of people on here.

More incidents this weekend.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Footballers in England/Wales are going on 24 hour social media strike starting tomorrow morning.
It's in protest at how racism is being dealt with by the governing body etc.

[bobinho]

Social media strike?

You mean I won’t be able to check whether Raheem Sterling has wiped his own arse tomorrow?

Wow. They REALLY mean it don’t they?

Plenty might argue them doing that is a good thing

The media will know doubt cast him in a bad light for either the way he wipes his arse or which way his big roll is hanging

There's more than one way to wipe ones arse?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

There's more than one way to wipe ones arse?

Of course

With or without the shells as per Demolition Man.

[duncandisorderly]

Sometimes there aren't any seashells at all though. Then what do?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Be posh and get yourself a bidet

[duncandisorderly]

Ha! If I want a wet arse I'll get a naga curry. Speaking of which....

[Bordeauxclaret]

What if some footballers are oddballs with two twitter accounts? Will they stop posting on both accounts?

[karatekid]

I bet they've got itchy fingers already.
