Yeah fair enough I'll take it back. Apologiesdon think so. think evo was just pointing he was grossly out his depth
Likely, but I guess the problem seems to be with the amount of players from the same demographic, not too many breaking through on that front?Yeah fair enough I'll take it back. Apologies
As for johal I think when there is a glass ceiling the first guy to break through it(with an assist of ownership) will always be out of depth
Hopefully more follow in his footsteps now.
Nope . I mean a few have made it but it's still extremely slow progressLikely, but I guess the problem seems to be with the amount of players from the same demographic, not too many breaking through on that front?
On a seperate note , why dont we see too many asian pro footballers in the uk ?Hopefully we have seen the last of British Asian managers!

What’s the prompt for switching accounts?If we beat southampton tomorrow il do it 100%

Fair. I’ve thought about similar with this account too, but over 14 years on it it’s a bit tough to let go.Fancy something new , opinions of old that dont represent who i am anymore .. sprinkled with a small OCD struggle i have going on
I'm not Asian myself but found your response really interesting.But I'd say it's a mix of institutional racism holding players back, a lack of beliefs in the system from Asian players so go different paths but also I think all Asian clubs etc stop players becoming the best they can be by not playing with white and black players etc
I will say we've discussed it in depth on here before and its an interesting topic which a lot of people have opinions on. But I went to India for work, spent a lot of time with a guy who's now a good friend of mine. He's football crazy, i think he actually played for Goa but it obviously didn't pay that well.Nah not the cricket thing. Football much more popular with Asians in UK than cricket.
It's hard to put finger on it. Especially me a couch potato

Also genetics. How often do you see an Asian with a 6 pack? Even the cricket team best in the world have pot bellies lol. I honestly believe this. Like back sprinters are the fastest . Muscle twitch fibres and all that. I'm sure I've read Asian people store fat in belly easier than other races .
Maybe I'm chatting shit but it's my theory

I joined an 'Asian only' football team many years ago just before I moved to London, was literally only a couple of games as I wasn't planning on moving away when I signed up.I'm not Asian myself but found your response really interesting.
Seen a bit of Tier 5 Women's football and the teams and squads seemed more racially mixed including Asian women without noticeable performance level issues in any particular race.
I know racism hasn't gone away but are you saying that there are 'Asian clubs' in this country that will generally only play with a team of Asian players / men ?
If that is the case and I'm not out to make a point about whether or not that's possibly racist in itself - I wonder why in 2026, that separation / segregation is felt necessary or preferred - is it just that change isn't always easy to make or am I overthinking all of this ?
Thank you for taking the post in the spirit it was intended.But Asian players Asian coaches. I think can benefit from mixing it up
I'm always happy to have these conversationsThank you for taking the post in the spirit it was intended.
I appreciated your honest opinion and I wasn't trying to be a dick about it so thank you - think everyone can benefit from mixing it up to be fair, works both ways.
Yeah I'd be playing for cov right now if not for my mum putting butter on everything lolMy partner is Indian and she thinks a lot of it is down to genetic's coupled with a really poor diet when growing up.
