HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 When the day comes when we select our team based on quota not ability Thats the day I rip my season ticket up Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Hawkowl Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) I know he is not academy. But I think Jose Semedo would be surprised that the club or fans were considered to have an underlying racist agenda. He is one of the most popular players fan and management wise, to have graced a Wednesday shirt Edited June 17, 2017 by Hawkowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Racism is the biggest 'non-issue' in football. Blown out of all proportions by a left wing minority and a vocal group of non-White ex footballers trying to maintain a lucrative career in football.

Dutch McLovin Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Biggest load of rounduns ever. Under Jones we were the opposite it was spot the white player and no one uttered the word racist. If there technically good enough they play regardless of skin colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimisticowl Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm pleased to say that I look at the skill of the player and not the colour of his skin, I am very proud to be able to say that I saw Pele strut his stuff on the Hillsborough turf, at a time when black players were as rare as hen's teeth in the UK.

Weshallovercome Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I've been saying for a while now we need more black players. But they're usually strong, quick with a bit of invention/unpredictability about them, it's a crying shame Carlos doesn't seem to like these characteristics.

That is certainly true, but doesn't necessarily explain why it should be any different for other similar placed clubs Edited June 17, 2017 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2soon Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 2 hours ago, gurujuan said: And that's the way it should be Trev, but there is a question to be asked, why don't we produce black and mixed race players, when virtually every other big city club does. Even a club like Norwich do better on that score Haven't read the whole thread but we haven't produced any players recently bar palmer. We tried to sign Austin last year and rumours are looking at a South African. We have a couple of players that fit your question but aren't good enough. Recently we have had Helen, jj, small, antiono, Clarke etc, we have Thai owners. Not it sure what your point is really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
