ujpest doza Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Racism in Football is all but gone in my John Humble. Probably one of the worst comments I've ever read on here. What a fucking joke Like shite is it. There used to be OOO OOO OOO ing, Booing, Monkey Noises, Bananas thrown on the pitch, chants of he's a wog a wog etc etc at English Footballs (and SJP was one of the worst for it) grounds every week all over the country and blokes lined up selling NF literature behind the Gallowgate End. You never hear or see any of that now and haven't for donkeys years. Racism can simultaneously be less prevalent but not 'all but gone'. It's all but gone, it's major news now if there is the slightest hint of anything racist whereas 30 years ago it was virtually the norm at football matches.

The FA use KIO as their main public face for anti-racism in football. By refusing to wear the KIO top you are directly protesting against the FA.

Jack Flash Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The conduct of Liverpool and Chelsea in handling the situations was as bad as anything the FA have done. Still can't believe Daliglish wasn't punished for the stuff he was coming out with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Plus wasnt KIO created by the PFA which means they are technically protesting against themselves ! This. Also by refusing to where the shirts they are basically discrediting of the work KIO have done in the past, if Rio and Jason Roberts really want to change things then maybe they should put their hands in their pocket and help KIO where rio's fine is 1/2 of their budget for a fucking year. 500k for a charity is small in most sizes, and is small is quite few I know locally never mind such a high profile one also never mind a sport where the premier league generates over 3 billion a year annually.

Wullie Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 How fucking boring is football news now? Seems like the main stories running week by week are either about t-shirts, handshakes or fucking Twitter. "Headlines on the hour here on Sky Sports News - *So-and-so doesn't wear t-shirt*, *What's-his-name deletes Twitter account*, *Hodgson says something to someone on tube* God strewth, bore off will you, was there not a match on like?!

This is one of a few times I'll agree with Redknapp but he was spot on on MOTD on saturday. Said we've had few incidents last few years but far too much being read into it and that's 100% spot on imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was saying the same thing at lunchtime. Bored rigid especially of players snubbing handshakes or this t shirt crap. Nobody should give a flying horse's arse.
