If the club doesn’t have the ability, resources or willingness to identify someone who’s already been arrested for committing a racist crime inside their own stadium then they absolutely deserve to have the book thrown at them. There should be zero excuse.

Have you watched Palmer’s video statement? The issue isn’t what anyone says, it’s what actually happens. You could just read the rest of the thread but some combination of: * Banning orders for fans shown to have been racially abusing players * Stand closures or playing the game behind closed...

No, but I think it was obvious that some kind of changes would have to be made after it happened, and any subsequent inconvenience to fans in that part of the stadium would be hard to argue against.

We’ve had thousands of seats closed off for years because one Cov fan decided to go full Chuck Norris against Derby County in 2021. Or maybe we should have waited until proof he wasn’t just a Leicester fan who’d gone undercover?

This is the mentality that needs to change - clubs can and do take responsibility for which idiots attend their games (including ours), and punishing teams and their fans for the actions of tiny minorities has often played a big part in that. If the mentality is going to be that we have to...

It’s essentially saying “I know racism is bad but my right to get wound up at the football is more important” - exactly the kind of people we should be trying to get rid of from the game. If Palmer gets booed by the home fans at the start of the game then the team should just walk off. Let the...

Stop being worried about imaginary problems and start taking action against real ones.

You don’t need to be proved guilty of a crime to be banned from a football stadium.

The lack of action from Sheffield Wednesday and the EFL is a total disgrace. For all we know, the guy arrested today could attend the game tomorrow night - SWFC have said nothing about any banning orders, or extra protocols. We got a cobbled together video saying “Racism is bad” and that’s it...

None of you watch The Thick of It then?

Is it that big? I’ve seen polls that say 70% of Tory voters would back him. Party leadership is on board and he seems keen - Badenoch is the only other viable candidate to my mind (which would be a classic ‘glass cliff’ appointment if it comes after the next election) but Farage running the...

It’s frankly outrageous that on the eve of us going back to Hillsborough, there appears to have been zero consequences handed out to either Sheffield Wednesday or any of their fans for what happened last weekend. Udinese have banned several fans for life, and the Italian authorities have ordered...

One of the best limited series ever imo

Results like that would make a Reform Party reverse takeover of the Tories seem more likely to me. Farage seems like a far better representation of the Tory base than any of the current crop of senior Conservatives and the party seems ripe for a hard reset. Just a case of getting him a seat.

Been a revelation this season

Spot on. Losing on penalties was obviously awful but for all the pages of Dabo psycho-analysis that’s followed, you have to accept it’s essentially a game of chance. Losing in the very last minute of the actual game because of a bizarre mistake from a crap loanee CB is much worse, I was...

While neither candidate is popular with the general public, “democracy is dead” isn’t entirely fair given that both Biden and Trump are breezing through their respective party’s primaries. It’s not like either are unelected. The odds of either Biden or Trump dying in office seem very slim to...

When was the last time England played 3ATB? Who are the good options in defensive midfield?

Tbh I’m not sure Harris was ever the succession plan, her shortcomings as a candidate were painfully obvious in the primaries and she consistently polls worse than Biden against Trump. If it was the plan, it wasn’t a very good one!
