  1. Is there some technical reason why they can't have live streaming audio or video inside all planes? I mean we can get pictures back from space millions of miles away. Is it simply a cost issue? It seems bizarre that in this day and age we have some antiquated black box and voice recorder.
  2. I was under the impression that there were very few Asians in the English game, not due to racism but because a very low number actually played the game in this country. Have you ever been to an English football game?
  3. That doesn't make you right though. At the end of the day many of the conclusions you reach in that article are just opinion. It seems that your main contention that racist is a big problem in football comes from Jason Roberts- someone who is clearly biased on this issue and has in the past been guilty of crying racism at the first opportunity. The Rooney rule is a terrible idea because it means that preferential treatment is given to a minority in the form of an interview. If I was passed over for an interview in favour of a black candidate based purely on a quota system then I would be livid. Similarly if I were a minority and I was not given an interview not because if my prowess then I would feel worthless.
  4. Would explain awful lot.
  5. Any idea what he is like? I trust Koeman to get the right people in after last summer.
  6. I think you massively overestimate the problem.
  7. Please let there be easyjet pricing.
  8. Maybe you have a point, but I'm not sure I follow it. Actually I reported them to stewards. I'm pretty sure the police didn't follow it up. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Forum Fiend v1.3.1. Without knowing what it is that was said it's difficult to know if this was unacceptable behaviour from the stewards or an overreaction on your part.
  9. I miss Turkish
  10. Nah there is definitely some racist elements in wider society (if that term works better for you). I don't think the crowd at the football is any worse than anywhere else with regards to racism or Sexism. As you say, it's really in a minority at the football and also in this country.
  11. What charity?
  12. And the ones that do have largely non working pictures.
  13. Look at the Sexism thread. More than one person but that poster is the worst. I think there is probably a small amount of racism at the football but no worse than in normal society. I certainly don't think our society is deeply racist or sexist.
  14. The person who has said similar knows who they are. In fact they posted recently on this thread.
  15. According to shurlock you must be deaf or a moron then!
  16. Yep and me. It does appear that these "we're all racist and sexist and should be thoroughly ashamed, what a disgrace we all are" types are in the minority thankfully.
  17. Excellent. One idiot who as swiftly dealt with by everyone else, that is nice to see. I know we live in a deeply deeply sexist and racist society, but it's nice to see that when these isolated incidents do occur that people feel empowered to put a stop to it quickly. More power to them.
  18. Well I must just be luck and choose the games where there haven't been any (or the people who do it in the Itchen North are quiet enough that I don't hear them.)
  19. Charming, and all because I haven't experienced racism at the games! Where are you sat then shurlock? I tend to sit in the Itchen North and go to about ten home games a season. Haven't heard any racist chanting.
  20. Neither have I, that's why I was surprised to hear about it and I was curious to know the nature of the racism and where in the ground it was.
  21. Still haven't told us what this racism was? What part of the ground was it?
  22. Yeah but who did he complain to?
