Guest JS Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The whole "black vote" thing is bollocks and as usual more tripe from Sol Campbell. Do black people have to vote for a black person to be represented? My MP for many years was Indian and did a fantastic job and no one ever brought his race into it. I'd much rather have had him as my MP than the white equivalent of Campbell Without wading into a sensitive issue here, where I know there are still prejudices in football surrounding black coaches and whatnot, this 'Rooney Rule' doesn't sound totally right to me that the FA are trying to implement, making it a rule to raise the number of ethnic minority coaches in the British game. Like, I genuinely understand it when there are, what, 50 coaches across the board here? But what happened to spending money in genuinely developing fantastic, new, forward thinking coaches regardless of background? Why does a rule now have to be put in place which seems to move people to the front of the line? Are the people in the game really still in the dark ages with this shit, and need a rule to force this through? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Brazil v Argentina friendly in China under threat due to dangerous levels of smog!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29558664 It's f***ing ridiculous there. I had to wear a face mask in Beijing, and you could barely see the sun in mid afternoon because of all the s*** in the air. Horrible f***ing place Didn't see the sky for the 3-4 days I stayed in Beijing. Horrible place. Guangzhou from the top of Baiyun mountain. There's a city in there somewhere. http://i.imgur.com/88MfzYo.jpg That's not too bad tbf. Sao Paulo, Mexico City are all like that, if that's early morning. Beijing was on a whole other level. Was smoggy 24h four 4 days. Couldn't see the building 200metres in front. Just a terrible experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sort of makes sense for him to be that weird, oxymoronic, and thankfully rare person that lives out and actually promotes the Tory idea of division; between race, class, everything.

Trumpet Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Anyone else reckons the atmosphere of the game is more important in making it entertaining and watchable than the qualify of 2 teams. like...let's say Red Star Belgrade is playing Partizan Belgrade with flares, mini-bombs, unreal rivalry going on...noise all around the stadium vs. Bayern Munich and Schalke playing in an empty stadium due to fan behaviour with no noise at all. I think the former is a lot more watchable. It's different when the team you follow is playing, but when it comes to neutrality, I think the atmosphere and setting takes priority over anything else.

Definitely, find it genuinely hard to watch games where everyone is neutral or there is no sound, like the Olympics for eg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I've read his quotes 3 times now and still cannot believe an actual human being has said what he's said like. I'm pretty sure there isn't a person on the planet more aware of the fact that they're black than Sol Campbell is either. Is Sol Campbell black? Ugh. Gone right off him.

Trumpet Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 In a recent interview with Polish media...Lewandowski was shown the video the American guy in Cali (Brian from whatever channel) pretending to be Lewandowski and going to girls and try to pick them up (Quite successfully as well, though 90% had no idea who he was). Polish interviewer tells him: "Not many people in States knew you before you went to Bayern, as you can see in this video". Lewandowski all in smiles saying: "Hey, but he collected quite a lot of numbers I can see.", the interviewer goes on saying: "Shame those numbers didn't come to you.", and Lewa says: "Probably for the best"....seeing his wife has black belt in Karate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
