Most liked posts in thread: Haringey Match abandoned after racist abuse

Both parties are as bad as each other. Funny thing is the amount of folk who get into an agenda driven outrage over it, almost like their chosen party is squeaky clean. Wake up people, don't believe everything you are spoonfed.

 

Sad really that all this political bickering has overshadowed the real things that should matter in this election campaign. Maybe after this election, whoever wins, they can start to concentrate on the future of this country.Honestly, the stuff i've seen recently has actually made me laugh out loud, that Tory bloke getting 'punched' and then the 'young kid on the hospital floor'. Both better stage managed than a WWE championship bout. Never known politics in this country to be as bad as it has been recently, quite embarrassing really.

 

Oh come on, if you don't think that was stage managed i give you far too much credit. 3 days before an election? Now i might be cynical but i certainly ain't naive.

 

WAKE UP SHEEPLE.

 

There is a danger that fans can decide the result or who wins a fixture, Losing a game? A few racist chants and the game is saved, Clubs that suffer fans that chant racist garbage should be enforced to implement a membership scheme for away for either home games, travel or both and the sale of tickets with offences or breaches a criminal offence much like Thatchers proposals that stopped the mass fighting and violence at games and cleaned the game up

 

Think that's the only way the FA could come out of this not looking like the bad guy. If they follow the rules and kick Haringey out there'll be hell on by Kick It Out and the likes moaning, or if they kick Yeovil out for the abuse that opens a whole new can of worms.

 

What would you have suggested? I'd imagine whichever way the FA went they would have had flak from one side so the result seemed about the most sensible option.

 

Or players, we know with head injuries players abuse it, surely a player or as you say a fan would try to influence a game.

 

Yes, of course I remember that. I'm not suggesting that racism at football is anything like as bad as it was then. But there has clearly been an increase in racist abuse and incidents since the referendum, both in football and in the country generally. I believe that it has created a climate in which people with racist attitudes feel less constrained about voicing them publicly and that Johnson's language also has the same effect.
I'm not saying that Brexit or Johnson are making people racist, but that they are making racists more confident to act out their prejudices in public.

 

Whilst it maybe true, Nevilles comments and those similar are unhelpful imo. All it does is detract Blake from the perpetrator and stick it on an individual higher up, individuals need to be held accountable for their own actions otherwise they’ll never learn. If the bloke came out and said I did it because Brexit, Trump or Johnson made me think it’s acceptable it doesn’t wash, he’s an adult who’s always had these views.

 

Wow! I have never heard in my entire life anything anti-semitic, yet can read umpteen horrendous recent and very recent phrases from labour members. Maybe I was just lucky? I doubt it.
