This stupid, and I mean stupid, tit for tat bickering does nothing to eradicate the ongoing problem of racism.
I refer all of you back to Greylag’s excellent post on the subject.
A pity some on here weren’t born a hundred years earlier.
They could have poured their scorn on the Neo-Marxist actions of the suffragette movement, and said “I’ve never heard a woman asking for the vote!”
I haven’t smoked a cigarette for at least 30 years, but there’s still people dying of lung cancer!
that’s why the problem won’t go away…..I haven’t heard a racial chant at a football ground for at least 30 years
Aye, there’s no racism at football grounds any more!
PSG v Istanbul Basaksehir: Both teams walk off pitch as match temporarily suspended
I think a few of us have alluded to this.
That our second string players are coming up short. I fully understand why Cox put Loft on the bench as he’d run his socks off against Harrogate and Orient. But to change both strikers? Maybe McAttee should have started in place of Taylor.
Any news on McGahey? Don’t want him out for any length of time.
Will be interesting to see how Green plays.
Taylor & Jarvis looks weaker than Loft & McAttee. With five subs available Cox has plenty of options.
And that’s why it won’t go away anytime soon. Because of tit-for-tat whataboutery like this.
I sometimes wonder what century we’re supposed to be living in.
Millwall players are not going to take the knee tonight…
… instead they will link arms.
Conveniently forgot that bit did we?
The profoundly politicised ‘knee’? – I’ll turn my back
Got your number then!
I never see racism taking place at football games or Formula One meetings, so what actually wants changing???
Hand sanitiser, face mask and blinkers then, eh?
As I keep saying, some of you just don’t get it. Or refuse to.
It’s not just about abuse and discrimination in sport. It’s about injustice EVERYWHERE. How can people who work in manufacturing, service industries or the armed services make a gesture?
Sports men and women are taking the knee on behalf of all. That is because their actions are visible. If the staff of M&S took the knee every day before opening the store, who would see it?Some of you need to give your heads a wobble and wake up to what’s happening outside your comfort zone.
On the other hand we won’t be losing Myles Hippolyte to Real Madrid!
The two always are definitely the banana skins.
We have always been good at giving Christmas presents to the needy!
Loft – played in the right position in the right formation, then perhaps.
Hippolyte – a lot to prove. Not for me yet.
Spence – yes!
Jarvis – dunno, not played enough.
Onarise – yes!
Mooney – absolutely no idea.
Cordner – too lightweight for me. Back to Bournemouth.
Vincent – unsure, but do we need him? Back to Bournemouth.
Taylor – possibly, not seen enough.
And I’ll add Dunwald-Turan to that list – see Jarvis above!
See what I mean, Northumbiron has had a go at me even though I had not even commented on this subject,
It was a typo for which I have apologised. Nothing more.
, I would be more happy with it if the heading was “ALL LIVES MATTER”,
This is what some people don’t get. And I had the same discussion with a friend of mine who said the same.
The campaign isn’t about equality, it’s about equity. We have had three hundred years of “only white lives matter”, now it’s payback time.
I bet you’ve never been pulled over by the police whilst driving and asked where you stole the car from. I doubt if you’ve ever suffered prejudice in the workplace because of the colour of your skin.
It is about highlighting injustice. The reason taking the knee is not going to go away is because the problem is not going to go away whilst people persist with this attitude.
I suspect many of those who don’t like it would have no problem about standing for the National Anthem before KO.
I think you mean the Christian NI, not BS,
Thanks I-A, and apologies to BS. I meant to write BPG of course.
Although I find it all rather bizarre that someone who constantly bleats on about morals can condone such behaviour.
Not a bloody clue have you BS?
He’s not the new Steve Torpey, perhaps not even the new John Gayle.
But he could be the type of forward we’ve been missing for a few seasons and a type you probably need in League 2.
My big beef is players really condemn fans but don’t say very much when it’s players or ex players who are racist.
Erm!
The Anton Ferdinand/John Terry incident back in the news this week.
Windsor Davies?
I wonder if it’s needed now, since the point has been made
Thing is BRI if it is stopped now then within a short period of time we’ll be back to square one. That’s what’s happened with previous campaigns such as “kick racism out”.
That’s just what the bigots want. For it to stop and not come back.
Sorry CBRP, I didn’t mean Dales per se. I was picking up on your comment about having strength in depth re: wingers.
I don’t think we do. IMO Green is the only decent replacement. Dales out on loan and Hippolyte looking National League North standard. If we lose Eisa and/or Gilliead in January we’ll be a lot weaker in the wide areas.
Another “stirring” post Awaywego! Well done!
Why does it bother you? Why does it make you uncomfortable?
It only lasts a few seconds, so why not just ignore it like thousands have ignored racism for the past three hundred years.
Wingers: strength in depth there. Dales is surplus to requirements so he can go.
Not sure I fully agree with that one.
Green is a good option. But Hippolyte has a lot to prove and Dales, like Olomola seems destined never to feature in a first team lineup.
Agree re: strikers, which begs the question why did we sign Turan and why send Mooney straight out on loan?
Unfortunately the players we could afford to move on are the ones under contract and those we desperately need to keep are nearing the end of theirs.
But we’ve been here before, haven’t we?
Well said.
Bound to be negativity when you’re hovering around the football league’s trapdoor to oblivion. Particularly when the manager throws inexperienced kids in, some playing out of position.
And when your talisman is out injured, returns only to get crocked again. Then when the team lines up in a formation you just know will be a disaster. You have to question what’s going on.
Then when you look back at previous managers and remember how their stubbornness to change the system ended up in the sack. Let’s face it, you’d be well within your rights to think “here we go again”.
If Cox has learned and is willing to rectify his earlier mistakes then he deserves credit. He takes a lot of credit from me today for sticking with the same starting lineup from Tuesday, when it would have been easy to change it. The rewards are there to be seen.
Let’s keep it going Neil.
so hopefully normal service will be resumed for you on tuesday and we can get back to gloom and doom.
I really do wonder if you actually read what people write, or just reply based upon your own preconceptions.
Who the hell is moaning? I’m not, I was jumping around the room at 3:00pm (much to the bemusement of the wife). But if you think we have the depth of quality in the squad that we need to get into the top half of the table then you’re wearing the rose-tinteds.
You also alluded that no kev no threat,
I sure did, just after we had lost at home to Bolton (the same Bolton who shipped six at home today), having ONE shot on target all game! Of course you knew we were going to score five in our next game because your Nostrobloodydamus! And funnily enough that was the same game that Cox reverted to five at the back, playing Gilliead at RB and leaving Rowe on the bench. We return to 4-4-2 with square pegs in square holes and hey-presto!
Yes, back to back wins are great, particularly when they put us above the Cods, but the froth is easily blown off your half full pint. I thought Eisa in particular and possibly Gilliead were a bit off the pace today. Luckily Beestin was excellent, but given the speed the games are coming round we can perhaps expect this, as well as injuries and suspensions (although playing 4-4-2 is better for our discipline too). Are those on the bench good enough to slot in if required? I’m not so sure.
I’m a happy bunny tonight, but I’m not putting up the bunting when we’re still only four points above 23rd place.
These are my views to which I am entitled. If you don’t like them I have others.
And to think that posters were saying we had a shite team
Au contraire Rodney! There were saying we had a shite squad.
As alluded to earlier if Beestin and Spence are out for any length of time then the engine is broken. Hippolyte in for an injured Eisa? No thanks.
This is the first time in ages that any manager has named the same lineup twice in a row. Strongest XI playing 4-4-2 and we look decent. Second string players out of position in a 5-3-1-1. Disaster beckons!
Only just noticed it’s a stupid 1pm kick off, won’t be watching in that case.
The good news is we get four and a half hours more recovery time than Colchester!
How many season tickets have we sold? How many of those ST holders would attend the first game they were allowed back?
Pay on the day would be an issue and I cannot see the use of turnstiles or queuing at a window a viable option.
Perhaps buying your match day ticket online and getting a QR code to your smartphone or one you could print off like an airline ticket. Main gates, open 2m spaced queue, steward scans your ticket/phone.
There are lots of ways around it. But as we are still in T3 we can watch what the likes of Carlisle, Exeter, Crawley etc are doing before finalising our own system.
Phew!
Same starting XI as Tuesday. Here’s hoping for a similar performance!
Definitely Barrie, as I posted earlier.
West Ham wore claret shorts last season and the fans were in uproar. Back to white this season I see.
