The Ex Swindon Town Player Where Are They Now Thread

[Bob's Orange]

Regardless of whether Pantomime Dame does return or not, it still doesn't really explain the rationale behind Birmingham City supporters, who have travelled and bought tickets to watch a game in Peterborough, presumably to cheer on their team, a team which contains 3 black players in the first 11, and a further 2 on the subs bench see fit to abuse an opposing player because he also is black.

I just can't get my head around how some people behave. However I shouldn't really be surprised in 42 years of living that there are people that do, sadly.

Why are they suprising Aud?

I'm being thick.

I automatically thought that black kids would have been the highest group to suffer stabbings.

The narrative is that it’s black kids stabbing other black kids.

ah yeah, I see.

Or that black kids are more likely to be 'proceeded against' ?

it's probably true, but you can't draw that conclusion from that one figure

[ibelieveinmrreeves]

No well it's perhaps a little misguided to draw any conclusion from a tiny data set like the one provided, rather just highlighting one that was seemingly not considered.

There is no correlation between the 2 sets of figures. They stand alone and, in all honesty, don’t actually tell us that much.
