Don’t think there are any ‘sheikhs’ involved Andy. ;D
It does appear however to be a fall out between Hindus and Muslims. Bloody ridiculous and, as Swale says, just confirms that race and colour are no barrier to stupidity and possibly that organised religion has a lot to answer for.

For sheik maybe AF meant Sikh, rA - but, setting that aside, cricket aggro is an interesting development on 70s football violence.

The latter represented an excuse for underlying social problems and I imagine that Leicester is simply an extension of India v Pakistan antipathy that has existed since separation.

It won't be long therefore before it's sold as all the white man's fault being the colonials that screwed up the handing back process.

Maybe I should enter into a massive Swale style diatribe about correcting spelling errors but seeing as I got the religion wrong As well I’ll keep quiet.

My bro in law tells me it’s the first time he’s felt safe as a white man walking down belgrave road in 20 years
