THEY? What do you mean THEY? Are you differentiating people due to their skin colour? And Celebreating what? That a black player scored 20 goals in a season? That a black player won 10 international caps. WHy does it matter what their skin colour is? OUr anti racism campaigns tell us it doesn't, why does it matter now?

Why? It's making an issue of skin colour. Why not just have Player of the year awards like we do. Why bring skin colour into it?

The black player awards. We are told to celebrate the achievements of people based on their skin colour. Some of you are too blind to see it but we have all these, very commendable and accurate, anti racism campaigns tell us everyone is equal, skin colour shouldn't matter. The same people that tell us not to judge on skin colour and how bad it is to do that are championing these awards. It doesn't seem to apply in this instance. It is making an issue of skin colour when we shouldn't do.

that;s the one, you can see down into the garden as you walk down towards it. I sometimes pop in there after football on the way back up town. Nice bar.

But we are told in anti racist campaigns everyone is equal and to see a footballer and a person. yet now we are being told to praise people based on skin colour. Ironically by the same people that tell us everyone is equal and not to make judgements and differentiate based on this. It's all very confusing.

You should try the one in St Marys Street, name escapes me for a minute, very good bar.

What's your view in The Black players awards verbal? You must have one. Right or wrong, given we are told to see people not skin colour.

What's your view on the issue discussed Andy? You've got an opinion on everything kid.

This is workable.

Have we established a cut off point yet? I'm going with maple Sugar. Dune you're in luck pal, get that fake tan on, I can see you up there with Paul Elliott praising black players contribution to football and then the following week saying skin colour doesn't matter.

Just all me Guy Richie. I did a bit of archery last Friday I'll have you know.

I'd have thought you'd have done all you can to be sugar cookie. Leave the fake tan in Boots mate.

If I had a pound for Everyone who claimed to know a Richard Head.

With all the recent discussion about racism in football I wondered what peoples view on these recently held awards. The whole point of racist campaigns is that everyone is the same regardless of colour. A few years back there was am anti racism advert on sky featuring Cantona, Henry and a couple of other players asking if people saw a frenchman, a Blackman or a footballer. I thought it was one of the best anti-racism campaigns ever and really highlighted the point of seeing everyone the same. So do the black player awards help? Whilst the intentions are correct all it's doing is drawing attention to the colour of skin of the player and almost making it an issue in itself. If we are suppose to see footballers and people not races and nationalities then why are these awards taking place?

dont really have one, although obviously the cheaper the better but depends what it is. And ordinary.

Talking of which i'm looking for a new winter coat, any suggestions??

As brighton is the easiest place to score smack then something to the tune of Golden Brown by the Stranglers.... Gus the clown He hates our Nige Makes you think, he's paranoid As Brighton jabs up Saints lift the cup Never a frown, With Gus the clown.

Good luck for the season mate, enjoyed my visit to your town last season even though we were sh*t!. Had a good few beers with some of your lads in the pub by the station. Thought you were unlucky not to go up given your great run. Hope you run away with it this season. I'd be happy for us to take Jordan Rhodes off your hands.

How did you guess?? Although you could add Armani, Ma Strum, addidas originals, Hugo Boss and Barbour to your clothes list.

* thinks it might be time for someone to find the Taxi for Guly thread from this time last year *

It's not me that looks like Serge, or at least tries to. But i do stand out amounst the mongs at SMS due to my incredible style, looks, charisma and physique.

They wanted to but NC said he wanted to give everyone seeing them a free beer to celebrate having a band like Coldplay at SMS, Chris Martin wouldn't agree to it.

I'd walk into the room and scream the first names of all the contestant each time they took a mouthful of food as loudly as i could if a high pitched voice over and over again. I'd them roll about on the floor p*ssing myself like it was the funniest maddest thing i've ever done.

It's not just us, have a gander at this.... http://www.pompeytrust.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=342%3Areport-on-police-filming-at-leeds&catid=45%3Apress-news I found this comment in Burrows statement interesting... "That said, the use of video / stills must have a legitimate need and should not be used in such a way that is unnecessary, disproportionate or affects the enjoyment of the vast majority of peaceful fans who want to watch the football" Well it upset most of the northam, so it was. Having read some of his statements and responses to letter, he strikes me as a very arrogant man with a massive sense of self importance. Hopefully he'll get him promotion and we can return to the good old days of Crabtree.
