Quite a lot of cases for it not to be an issue. These are only the incidents reported to the police. I suspect the real number is probably 10 times that.

I wonder what they amounted to. Presumably a fair few of those will be black against black , Turks against Kurds , poles against Romanians. I could go on. I don’t suppose they were all as most people will think

Yes, trawl all possibilities, you will eventually find something to offend you. Multiply by ten and ‘Hey Presto!’ Surmise it obviously racism without knowing any of the facts as you not need to ruin your objective.

10 a great number to calculate with as simple.

Only 17,000 recorded in London? I thought the Met were much more racialist than that, to be honest.

What is the point in kneeling if nothing is going to change? How many times has for example a black player playing for England get booed or worse in Eastern Europe? What does uefa or fifa do? Not much.

What I do believe needs to happen is for the PFA and its members u its as one and say enough enough. Stand tall, stand together and tell the FA, Uefa and Fifa that they will not stand for it any longer. Tell the government the same and only when such a populous moves happens will we see any change.

I was sent a video on WhatsApp yesterday of Charlton Palmer talking about racism when he played, like he said its not changed one iota. He was quite clear that he has suffered for work for standing up for Big Ron and that the BBC would never have him working there as they are the most racist media platform out there!

Too much talking and not enough action. Until the players unite and let's be truthful here its the players that make this game and without them we have nothing, so until they put a marker in the ground and say to steal A-line from lord of the rings "you shall not pass" nothing will change. We will still be saying the same things in years to come as sad as that is.

The BBC racist? Really? Look at the make up of their presenters lately.

Perhaps Carlton Palmer is just not good enough to be employed by the BBC but rather than accept the fact it must be because of his skin colour.

I would imagine that half the players that take a knee don't know why they do . Some of it is pier pressure ,not wanting to be the odd one out or look bad to the media. Most of them are hypocrites anyway, going down on one knee one moment then feigning injury the next trying to get their "Fellow" player sent off .It's the sort of thing that ruins players and in some cases ,managers careers. But they don't care about that do they.
The campaign should have been called All Lives Matter , no matter what colour or creed.

If it had been called All Lives Matter would you have been OK with the kneeling then?

Enjoyed the part where you said players taking a stand against racism is obviously hypocritical due to the fact some feign injury. More reach than Lennox Lewis, that.
