Turkish

Especially give the fact she’s also has to overcome systemic ingrained racism to achieve what she has. Incredible stuff

What was the attendance? Looked empty on MOTD

In all seriousness there are about half a dozen people on here who understand the game and know what they’re on about. You’re one of them, I don’t ever remember you posting FM stats or XGs etc

9 months ago some on here were wondering why we signed him 🙄

Do we need weekly reminders Yeah but it only lasted for a few days. I need these frequent reminders as I end up defaulting to hating LGBTs again. They are almost like an anti depressant that I need regularly the keep the inclusivity levels topped up.

I can’t speak for other but for me the moment I realised it was okay to be gay was when I saw Diego Costa wearing rainbow laces

You’d certainly think so wouldn’t you. I guess we just aren’t aware of it as it doesn’t impact us. With the season not even a month old we’ve had the rainbow shirts, the changing of the badge a few weeks ago to have a rainbow line and now this gentle reminder. Along with the taking of the knee I for one am grateful to the club for making us aware of just how racism and homophobia is everywhere and not welcome at saints

What point are you trying to make? How does last seasons result have any bearing on what will happen in this seasons games?

Personally i think it might have something to do with them being late developers, most women probably dont decide to become keepers into later in life as young girls probably dont want balls smacked at them on winter mornings. I can say that without being sacked unlike some.

What questions didnt I answer? You flounced off saying you weren’t going to engage with me anymore now you’re doing it again. Grown men/women/transgenders flouncing around on an Internet forum because they don’t like someone else’s view 🤣🤣

It’s stuff he made up. I’ve always been very consistent. Britain is not a racist country but that doesn’t mean there aren’t racist people in it. If anyone thinks racism will be eradicated forever then they are going to be disappointed. That doesn’t when it happens it should be ignored but the daily hand wringing with endless this that and everything is racist is causing resentment and creating division. People are actively looking to find things that racist now all the time, it’s almost like they want to find it. Whilst there are mugs around like soggy and aintclever who lap it all up shaking their heads behind their lap tops about how terrible it all is then it’ll go on and go.

It's never acceptable but if you think that there will never be a racist person or racist thing said ever again, especially in a climate where media actively goes looking to find it, then i am afraid you are going to be disappointed.

"The former Manchester United defender said it was "disheartening" to see racism in football rising to the levels of the 1970s and 80s" Ridiculous claim.

Rio Ferdinand says football is 'sliding backwards' because of racist abuse online - BBC Sport Rio Ferdinand seems to think its the major issue. As you stated "The only people who can change that is the social media companies"

So why bother taking the knee then?

This utter nonsense from Ferdinand doesn't help. It's almost like they're trying to ignite a race war.

Jesus Wept. It's never ending.

Maybe you could have a word with your barber and bairmaid in your local, if they could employ a couple of black people not only would reduce their unemployment stats it'd double the amount you know.

Just in case you had forgotten another reminder

Yep, agreed. If that was the only example then it would be a valid point. It isn't though it is.

He's also right. Just because you dont like it doesn't make it untrue.

Abusive tweets that were removed, not abusive tweets that were made. There could be a number of reasons why they couldn’t remove tweets from outside of the UK so yes it’s an incredibly misleading statement. As hypo says it’s also very relevant to the discussion about racism when you’ve got loons claiming the UK has a massive racism problem when once again the facts don’t support their ridiculous claims

This can’t be true. The greatest fans in the world who are also the hardest not turning up at their greatest rivals off the pitch?

Some of you modern day tactical experts with your XGs, Pressing triggers, number 10s and false nines should watch this. We played some brilliant stuff, fantastic fast, aggressive attacking football and not a spreadsheet or heat map in sight

We've had quite a few like that. Looked really promising in their early years then careers faded away into nothing. Paul Robinson, Richard Wright, Chris Kirkland, Ben Foster were all at one time tipped to be Englands number one for a long time, all got big moved and ended up never achieving their potential.
