I did wonder why anyone would blame the keeper for that one. It was perfectly placed.

How about the latest attempts to redesign the medal you get for a knighthood because someone thinks it looks a little bit like how George floyd was murdered? Even sir Michael Palin is backing it (why Michael? I really thought you were great!)

Great news guys Norwich can no longer overtake us!

Personally I think we have a responsibility to the people of Hong Kong that we don't have to other countries.
-
I've got no desire to debate it with you if that's what you mean.
-
No its because when you weigh up the totality of evidence on both sides its clear where the bias lies.
-
It quite simply appaling. The worst bit is China is so powerful that there's nothing anyone can do. This is the real injustice the world should be uniting against.

My sister just used to work in hospitality at the ground and wasn't impressed by the behaviour of most of the players. Arrogant and making comments (not that I'm worried about my sister she can handle herself perfectly well without my input.) But yoshi was a gentleman as others have already said. I wasn't there and I doubt my sister could name the pkayers anyway as she has no interest in football.

They were next to goals a few weeks ago. Dave Shields was on the case and he's cleaned up all the rubbish from there. If you want something done then he's the person to talk to as he's responsible for travellers.

What's mad is how quickly it has all escalated from the awful death of a black man to mass censorship, people losing jobs, statues being torn down, riots, mass corporate acceptance, fake stories about nooses, millions raised by people calling for the defunding of the police and various sports all joining in. I genuinely think its the effects of the lockdown.

Yoshi- the only player from a few years back who wasn't a bit weird or tried to hit on my sister. A really nice bloke actually and I'll miss him.

Everyone were just so desperate not to be jumped on by the twitter mob and called racist that they just went along with it. To be fair to them they didn't have much of a chance when even the police officers were taking a knee. Like you say, hopefully they can restore a bit of sanity shortly and write this episode off to the stir crazy madness of lockdown. The backlash took a while to come but it looks like sanity is being restored:

I see that the Premier league have panicked and released a statement saying that their support of black lives matter is not an endorsement of black lives matter. Maybe they should have looked into this a bit more before jumping on the bandwagon and tarnishing their brand with this extremism stuff. Why not use kick it out or kick racism out of football from the outset? Why even risk having your sports brand and competition getting tangled up in this mess? I expect they will learn from this but not without damage already having been done.

I think they look rubbish.
-
Because one side is demonstrably incorrect.
-
Is that the click clack one? According to my wife she's some reality TV "personality." I've never heard of her.
-
One side asserting falsehoods doesn't make it balanced. That's like saying pravda is balanced because communists readers claim its biased.
-
Just keep the license fee until Sir David expires in a year or two most likely and then bin the whole thing.

My point is that a self described fascist is almost certain to be far left just as a self described Marxist would be.
-
Although if Nigel Farage described himself as a fascist it would be pretty clear that he was far right.
-
Some agreement at last.
-
That's actually a really good idea. I hope he does.
-
It's not easy as I'm sure you can imagine.
-
100% agree. Kick it out in its current form have my absolute support.

No its more about opinions being dismissed because of the perceived skin colour of the individuals saying it. I don't like racism however it manifests and that's one clear example. Also ignoring dissenting voices from black people as well as if their voices don't matter or are less important. Unfortunately it's very hateful to dismiss opinions of organisations with dodgy views because you think the person holding that view has white skin. The only think I'm offended by is being judged by my perceived skin colour.
