What yer might find Roma is that this message board is occasionally infiltrated by individuals from the BBS - certain individuals that change their BBS name and start posting on here - especially when it comes to topics such as racism.
These individuals have poisoned the BBS - and will be looking to do the same on here.
Don’t allow them to do this.
In saying that - it’s not those individuals that I have any grievance with.
It’s the BBS Admin team (Gally et al) that have allowed this rabble to get away with this disgusting behaviour.
Individuals such as myself have been labelled over a period of weeks and BBS Admin have done nothing about it.
By not taking action the BBS Admin team must therefore agree with the comments posted.
That is to say - the BBS Admin team have labelled me a racist.
I think the virtue signal brigade may have a shock coming as life starts returning to normal .
Think about it right , most of the population have been locked down these last 6 months .
We haven't gone to the pub , gone to the football or even gone to work .
The first weekend that fans have been allowed in the Millwall fans have had the opportunity finally to say feck this" taking the knee " to support a political party which is what BLM are now I've come to watch the football and I've paid good money for that and not to be part of a political cause .
Wait while everyone is back in the grounds if this is still going on .
The so called liberal elite don't know how to handle this now other than the standard racist and bigot card and that's just one club with 2k fans in the ground .
What if it happens across 70% of grounds ? , what you going to do then ? .
Take to twitter like Gary Lineker preaching and acting like he's better than everyone else with his racist Millwall fans rhetoric , who pays your wages then Gary ? , the UK taxpayer lad .
Sell out on Brexit and watch the real fun start .
Of course black lives matter.
Everyone in society must be dealt fairly - and if anyone shows discrimination - that’s not only discrimination to black people but to anyone, be it their gender, religion or age then the person showing the discrimination must be prosecuted.
But - bending the knee as far as I understand it is a subservient action - or one that is asking for forgiveness of wrongdoing.
Well - I haven’t done anything wrong to BAME people - in fact when I’m in places like India I try to do what I can to help - so I for one won’t be bending my knee.
Plus - if my father ever saw me knelt in front of anyone - and i mean anyone - then I would be soon dragged to my feet and told to stand up.
I bow to no one ...... and I would detest it if anyone bowed to me.
If you take a political cause on to the field then expect a political reaction in the stands .
Here's the thing right , football in the UK now is full of players from all corners of the globe , 30% are black I believe .
These players are idolised at their clubs , there is no inequality in football , none what so ever .
It's probably the most diverse and equal industry in the country .
Sure there's the odd incident , nowt will ever be 100% .
Football in this country has no dog in this fight other than Sol Campbell of course who believes he's discriminated against because he's black .
No you aren't Sol your just a cr@p manager with a track record to prove it .
Its barmy to suggest that english clubs are against appointing black managers in this day and age. It's simply not true imo. Sad thing is that people buy into this and believe it.
As you quite rightly say, professional football in the uk is probably the most diverse and equal industry in the country.
My theory as to why there aren't many black managers abart is because professional football didn't become multicultural on a large scale here in the uk until the mid to late 90s when the Premiership got big. In the 80s thy ed barely any foreign players let alone foreign managers. Black players were starting to emerge in the 80s. However, with the growth and globalisation of the Premiership it attracted more foreign players and coaches as it grew, it gave opportunities.
Think back to 30 years ago. Each squad was 95% made up of British players with British managers. It's now changed to the point where home grown players are in the minority. It proves that with time people get their chance no matter what their background is. With more cities populations in the uk becoming more multicultural we are now seeing an emergence of black footballers compared to 30 years ago. It's just a question of time before we start to see the emergence of more black managers.
