Still sore at getting yourself banned?

Forster wasn’t in goal when Coventry scored their 3.

Surely if we are potentially interested in a player we cannot “never had any interest in any of them”???

My brother supports Fulham and saw a lot of Reed last season. He said he was the reason they went up as he gave them a more solid defence. It will be interesting to see how he and Fulham get on next season, especially with Lemina in the squad too.

I followed the same route as you. It would be a shame if it folded but nothing lasts forever. I agree about the Ugly but with an influx of decent posters it does have the potential to be a good site if the worst happens here.

Are you offering?

I might have got my Russell’s mixed up. Perhaps I meant Russell Kane?

It is a word, no more, no less. The offensiveness is decided by how that word is used. If a person is using it to denigrate the person it is directed at it becomes offensive. You might not care for the word, but it is all about how the word is used. The C word is often used to denigrate another person but it can also be used between friends as in “Hello Bill, how are you doing you old c*nt”? You may well find the N word offensive, but black people using it between themselves clearly don’t. Granted, it is strange that people use pejorative terms between friends, but then people are strange aren’t we?

I am surprised that there are people who don’t seem to understand the difference between a white person using the N word in a pejorative way and a black person reappropriating the same word as using it as a positive rather than a negative to take the power away from its primal use. The same thing happens with Spurs supporters using anti Semitic terminology to their own ends. Or perhaps l’m not given the posting history of those who miss the point.

Chinese virus? Are we going to start identifying diseases as we do humans now? You sound like Donald Trump.

I need to add Russell Howard to my list. Terminally unfunny.

Sadly football is an area that has a major world stage and where racism is still prevalent. How do you ignore it in the sport when players like Sterling are getting racially abused when they walk onto the pitch? It needs to be fought and stamped out where it is occurring, that is why football cannot just ignore it and move on.

Boris Johnson shedding yet more responsibility. Who would have thought it? It makes you wonder why he went for the job in the first place. He seems to be spending very little time doing it. Still, if the rumours are true about his extra curricular activities with two lady journalists then he clearly doesn’t have the time to do any PMing in between knee tremblers.

Isn’t their point that the majority of crime is carried out by non black people? These figures would appear to back that up. There are also no figures here to show how many black people are killed by the police either by being taken into custody or in custody against the numbers for white people.

Very sad news about the passing of Peter Green. I grew up with the music of the first Fleetwood Mac and he was a brilliant guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. RIP.

It seems like everyone has had a chat with Jim Steele, so l’ll add myself to the list. Nice chap. The same evening I had a brief chat with Rupert Lowe! I only realised who he was as he walked away.

I didn’t say it was causing harm, I said it had caused a problem, hence the name being removed. Perhaps if your were black you might see the situation differently? Have you realised that racism is still a problem in professional football yet?

Did you stop to consider that it did zero harm for so long because so few people knew about it? Now that more people know about it is more of a problem. Funny that.

I prefer his work to something like Ermin’s unmade bed, but each to their own.

A fact it is, as it is a fact that it is a derogatory term for black people and giving that name to a black dog, even back then, was hardly the best idea. We don’t need to keep watching the Black and White Minstrels going to remind us of how offensive blackface is. History has recorded that Guy Gibson had a black dog which was named after a derogatory name for black people. Do we need to have it spelt out to us in order to learn lessons?

Yet at the time certain people were questioning why there were so many marches each week? I suppose the minute Premiership players stop taking the knee we will get told again that the campaign is over when it has clearly only just begun.

An amazingly sensible post. There is hope for this place yet!

Sign KWP.

She’s British. She is our problem and she needs to be dealt with here. No brainer.

You realise that there are and have been plenty of very able and competitive white long distance runners do you? Do you know what racial stereotyping is do you?
