There seem to be a lot more bananas being thrown at players, ..... The relatively incident at the Arsenal v Spurs game when a banana was thrown at a black player was a red herring as the person throwing the item was also black and as a result it wasn't prosecuted as a racist offence. That's a lie. ...

Your showing the world you're not a very nice person, it seems you scower the board looking to be offended or pick an argument over nothing. I misjudged how popular racially focused anecdotes are with some boarders (clearly yourself included). Lesson learnt. No problems fellow, personal I didn't se...

There seem to be a lot more bananas being thrown at players, ..... Compared to when (and are we talking in UK or worldwide)? I can't recall many racist incidents involving throwing of bananas in the UK in a long long time. The relatively incident at the Arsenal v Spurs game when a banana was thrown...

Is the Cypriot league a worse standard than the conference?

Still a tedious bore, I see? Well done on coming up with a more anonymous username than when you tried to re-register pretending to be Nigel Travis straight after your ban though. I’ve added Spen and Prestige Worldwide to my foe list, meaning I won’t see any of their posts anymore. I’m proactively ...

Careful, that's probably abuse what you just did there.

Agree with others on here, the "interim" label is probably really damaging. Imagine you're a player with a couple of options on the table, one of which is an offer from an "interim" manager. You're probably thinking, what if this guy is gone in 6 weeks and the new gaffa doesn't s...

Cos I abuse them allegedly 😂😂👍 The definition of "abuse" is very odd on this message board. Apparently, reminding somebody of the reason why they were banned from the board in the first place constitutes abuse. Anyway, thanks for the heads up about the foe button. Will put it to use on Sp...

Yeah but Spen666 is a pain tho More than a pain. He's a nasty individual who came on here to start arguments with Orient fans in the days following the passing of Justin purely for his own amusement. Unforgivable behaviour. Well Buckaroo if I remember rightly you didn’t really cover yourself in glo...

If you binned all the sociologists and economists you would only suffer if the dustmen went on strike. We need people that ‘do’ , not people who pontificate on why it is being done. Enough of the bullshitters who study for the sake of studying and end up contributing nothing to the real world. If n...

Does it include non-white on white abuse? I bet it doesn't cos I reckon the percentage would be double that. I say that because as a former foster parent my wife and I were told by social services that non-whites cannot be considered as racist. Also does it include non-white on non-white, which is ...

Buckingham, I do not know you. I have no idea who you are or if you have personality problems, but you were previously warned several times and then banned as Esteban. Now you come on here in a different guise and continue to launch personal attacks and have now spread your hatred of me across 3 th...

Be very cautious with attempted humour on this message board. If your racist dog thread was an attempt at humour then I’d say the issue very much lies with your lack of comedic talent, rather than the sense of humour of boarders Your showing the world you're not a very nice person, it seems you sco...

IMO I don't think you see, or hear, as much racism at Premier/Football League matches now as it is high profile and there are a lot of people willing to highlight it via social media, as we saw last season. However, I do feel that there is more at grassroots level. My sons U13 team contains a lot o...

I think people today are more inclined to report stuff. Sometimes it’s impossible to determine if this or that has increased or whether there is no great change other than peoples willingness to report issues, which in itself has to be applauded. We just need to look at figures like this with cauti...

Why did you lift the ban on Spen? He’s been back five minutes and already he has: 1. Trashed a thread about racism in football by disregarding a report by Kick It Out for no other reason than “it was worse in the 80s” 2. Been abusive to other boarders, calling them stupid without any provocation wh...

Has that happened in England recently?

Spen’s argument appears to be “football was more racist in the 80s when the national front was about”. Is that the benchmark we set? I’m the kind of guy who sees a reputable organisation, whose primary aim is to eliminate racism in football, raise concern about a rise in reports of racism and think...

As for trashing threads why are you taking your grievance with me disagreeing with figures re racism into someone else's thread about Macclesfield tickets.? I’m just going to respond to every single one of your horrid posts by reminding people that literally days after Justin passed you came into a...

Yes, that's why I am posting! Sometimes people's stupidity exceeds levels you thought possible You’ve been back 5 mins and already you’ve tried to trash my thread about a rise in racist incidents in football by dismissing the stats for no reason other than “I don’t believe them” and now you’re call...
