if you say so

Unfortunately the events of the last week have blurred the boundaries again between the two - so like it or not the topic is very much football related at the minute. You’re right though, it didn’t start as a football related post, it has however evolved. I’d also point out, despite having the...

there’s no debate, unless you can think of an argument in the alternative? if you don’t want to contribute you could just not say anything, although still not great, but to actively try and get rid of the thread?

I’d beg to differ, but ok if you say so

a) you started the thread, and b) would you not agree that a thread now talking about racism is completely ‘on’ topic given what has happened over the last week? that’s two now shying away from the topic rather than facing up to it and calling it out….and that’s the problem - let’s bump the...

West Brom v Wolves stopped on 80 something minutes because of two separate incidents in the crowd - looks like Wolves fans sitting in the WBA end and celebrating their goal. It’s taken about ten minutes so far and police still haven’t been able to get it under control, players off pitch and a...

why bring in a player with the aim of moving Wright into a position where he’s been far less effective? His move out to the left has been a revelation, moving him back into the middle would be a mistake in my opinion

depends on your definition of ‘ok’…. why close the thread, get rid of a conversation about an important and very relevant topic? If you don’t want to contribute then don’t, and if it makes you feel uncomfortable then ignore it, but no need to stop others talking about it if they want to

1) racism has been discussed, debated and dealt with intellectually in so far as there are laws in place, constantly evolving laws, to deal with it - talking about the subject is one thing but that discussion categorically should not involve actually being racist - but good try though! 2) I’m...

why is it for any poster on here to explain why a post is or isn’t, to use your terminology, ‘prosecutable’…? you seem 100% certain the post hasn’t broken the law, yet ultimately it isn’t your decision is it? which law are you referring to just out of interest?

shall we send the post to the police then to let them decide what to do? probably a better idea rather than throwing around opinions as to what constitutes breaking the law and what the CPS may or may not consider chargeable? also, in response to an earlier post of yours and this one too...

so if you heard someone making racist slurs you’d simply carry on with your day and leave them be? free speech is one thing, but allowing people to make racist or aggravating comments which are ILLEGAL is a completely different matter. there may be a point in your post somewhere but you lost...

…..already?

hmm…..explains this reaction too I assume 😔

even those simply playing along on the thread are as much to blame for the issues we currently have

this is appalling…

…would be ambitious

you do keep on about taking the knee though, which seems to be a pet hate of yours….but you haven’t really given any explanation as to why? Do you have arthritis and difficulty getting down and back up again? In any event, and I’ve already said this on a previous thread, taking the knee last...

quite right, definitely - and a shame we didn’t get to finish it off as it was a bit of an anti-climax in the end for me
