East Kent Saint

Unfortunately it is true , they don’t get picked just because of their skin colour , it is because of institutional bias against them in the first place . So you can disbelieve it but at the same time it’s true . I saw it at work , the barrier was set much higher for the few Asians (and females )in our workplace than us jolly Englishmen . I was on the suspect list for reading the Guardian , although the Telegraph readers were quite happy to read it !!!!

Unfortunately it's true in sport as it is in business , organizations are quite capable of promoting duffers to A. get them out of the way B. Protect them as they are also Masons C. Not even give them an interview due to "it's easier not to go down that route " PS I don't know what is the current OK term to call er " people of colour " Any updates on that ??

Agreed .

I say that because having watched a program a while ago that is the reason they gave for setting up an Asian league !! What have you got to say about YCC and their record ???

The Asian players weren’t banned from joining clubs just “not encouraged “ with the Asian population in Yorkshire you would think a few more would make it to the County team . Judging by the way they seem to be treated at YCC , it is no surprise.

In Yorkshire the chances of getting into a team in the local leagues was so remote they set up their own Asian league system. Don't forget the Umpires who also have had their own problems which is more recent. The problem is current as shown at YCC where the same people are still in charge and they are stalling on sharing the report on the investigation.

Agreed .

PS I think the knee thing has run it's course , I was surprised they carried it over into this season .I suppose they thought they would do it as the fans are back . In itself it is just a gesture but there needs to be some follow up by the PFA , Kick it Out and the clubs to come to an agreement about the invisible barriers for some .

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/sep/04/i-just-sat-there-thinking-im-a-cricketer-what-makes-me-different I think this plus the latest the Yorkshire Cricket Club racism inquiry show the real issue there is . This is the institutional predudice that needs addressing and I think would lead to a fairer outcome . Cricket seems to be behind the times compared to football , football still has work to do to get more non white people in positions at all levels . On the player front football is doing well but there are few coaches and less as you go up the pyramid of football.

Trolling , Trolling , Trolling , Rawhide 😆 ……..

Another red herring

No it is trolling by the usual suspects , why the moderators don’t step in ………..

Another moving of the goalposts as usual , your statements were all factually incorrect and I think you know that .

You seem to be determined to out Turkish Turkish with your bizarre requests for information that no one knows , ffs .

8i Give it a rest because you are making ridiculous claims , I form my own opinion regardless of what people on Saintsweb or the media say or “want to hear” You are just a troll who , as I have said before , just moves the goalposts slightly , never answers a question without a question or takes a slightly different tangent while never expressing your own opinion or belief .

None of your ludicrous statements have any validity , as you well know , as I said before , just give it a rest .

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58432092 FIFA will sort it out ! It should be remembered that Oban has promoted an anti migrant policy in the last 2 elections in Hungary so it is no surprise that the Ultras do what they do . The eastern bloc was pretty racist in it's day and as we know Russia still is. Friends we know in Hungary are pretty anti Oban and his racist attitudes and his moves to take control of the judicial system although it's best not to mention the Roma people ......

No just posters falling for typical Turkish trolling, you can see it on most threads , don’t feed the troll seems to be something we all keep forgetting.

George and Keegan were injured for this game , Laurie was straightforward in the after match interview re injuries and said the 7-1 was just something the players could deal with .

It was JWP , he did well to get the ball out , no time to set himself for a decent kick and unfortunately it went straight back to the shooter ! I'm surprised Lord D hasn't been on here to point out JWP should have headed the second shot out 😄

JWP a hero , what a relief !

It was ours or was that your point ?

Hart has been put in this position before (at City)which is why he has ended up at Celtic and still letting in goals . He was back up / 3rd reserve at Spurs so no surprise he tried to hold on to some self belief and move on to continue to get game time . Forster has just carried on with his contract and gone out on loan or stayed put like Bale so this sort of approach will only work with certain players .

Perhaps Lord D has nominated JWP as a gay icon ?

To give you a chance of coming out , as they used to say ! For some reason they think it’s a good idea to blow whistles at maximum volume on these marches which I find unbearable so I hate them ! Apparently you are not supposed to put your hands over your ears if somebody’s child is screaming it’s head off as it could upset the mother who would think you are getting at them for being a poor mother ! I can’t stand it because of the sound frequency so fingers in the ear for me regardless.
