No, I do genuinly believe that some fans are racist, and as such will go out of their way to criticise black players. Is this was a wind up I wouldn't be anywhere near as diplomatic as I am being. Let's try this one then. What was the reason for the original post?

So are saying the police are a racist/corrupt organisation then, or are you saying that some policeman are racist/corrupt?

You know what I mean.

Agreed. And where have I said that the fanbase does not like black players.

To be fair I didn't realise he went on strike.

And this may be the case. I may be misreading the situation. However, I sadly don't think I am. After the last time I brought this up (Puncheon, at the time, was having the temerity to play well for other teams), I had quite a few people PM me to say they believed there was something to what I said.

I love the fact that people are coming out with criticism about my point, yet at the same time are trying to distance themselves from any perceived racism by saying that they boo white players as well As said quite a few times, I am not accusing all of you of racism, mainly because without hard evidence (which to be fair I can't supply) that would be irresponsible and wrong.

Shhh, men are talking. Learn to read.

The fact that people were very, very quick to jump on his back at the beginning of this Season, after having a very decent end to last Season. The fact that people have throughout the season said he is a cr@p footballer when that is blatantly not the case. The fact that people seem to be making up things he said in interviews to turn more people against him, when in fact he came out of it very well and quite complimentary. Does this not all seem a very extreme thing to do considering he played well on loan for a Premiership club, was destroying Championship teams when at Millwall and played well for us last Season? It seems to me that it is a case of any excuse to criticise him, not just as a footballer, but also as a person.

Why? The whole Puncheon situation from the beginning of this season I think has racial undertones. However, I am not accusing everyone on this forum of being racist. Simple enough?

Jones was criticised roundly until he had his breakout season, he would have been out of the door before he could prove himself if it was up to some fans.

To be fair I can't cross the Kingsland to the Northam and booing a player in itself is difficult to prove to be racist.

Not saying Guly was booed, but that Taxi thread said a lot of things to me. Puncheon was booed earlier this season.

Why are people getting so angry about this. I am not accusing you of racism. All I am saying is this whole thing smacks of racism and I believe that some fans react harsher to black players than they do white.

Have they been booed? I'd say not. At the end of last season Puncheon, although people thought he was ****, was racking up the goals and assists. People then decided to turn on him. When Rickie Lambert was off form, people tried to encourage him, not boo him. Why was that any different?

Nope Pulis was ****. As is Forecast. Puncheon is decent, but people decided to boo him cos he was black. As was Nathan Dyer, as was BWP, as is Guly. All had their boo boys. And David McGoldrick.

As I've said before on this forum, people are always ready to slag off the non-white guy without giving him a chance. It's a sad depiction of our society.

...Ok, I will probably be lambasted for this, but I am bored already. Interesting threads have dried up, only news on contracts from the club. Is anyone else feeling that we should be announcing Season ticket prices, buying and selling players, expanding the stadium etc. I suppose this is what you get if you're used to playing FM...

Well exactly, you're talking to a big Canucks fan here!! Good win last night as well.

I think he is currently keeping goal for the San Jose Sharks in the NHL... http://espn.go.com/nhl/player/_/id/3937/antti-niemi

15 million is well worth it. SELL!

Where's the ****ing news?

That does sound very impressive!

Thunder thief!!!!

Only yours cos they couldn't afford to get mine done.
