http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31970841It's not the colour of your skin, it's because you are not good enough. I understand Racism does still exist unfortunately, but not as much as it used to. End of the day, if you are good enough to manage England then you will.

Surely choosing to vote or not is a personal issue, an advertising campaign wouldn't get me to change my mind. I personally have little faith in politics. |

Another biting story, but this time a lower-league player. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32327506What's so wrong about this for me though isn't the biting itself (dreadful though that is etc.) but that the Dag & Red player gets a six-month ban for a second offence, which at that end of the FL might end his professional career, while "banker" Luis Suarez got 7 games, then 10 games, then 4 months for his third offence. It's the apparently make-it-up-as-you-go-along random decision-making processes that enrage fans so much. Is it really beyond the collective wit of the FL, the FA, UEFA or even FIFA to put together a rulebook with consistent and transparent penalties to fit each crime, plus or minus mitigating/aggravating circumstances? You know, like proper legal systems do?  |

I understand Racism does still exist unfortunately, but not as much as it used to. End of the day, if you are good enough to manage England then you will. The thing that gets me, is that about 87% of the UK is white. If you take that into consideration, the figures really aren't as damning as everyone likes to make out. I really can't believe that any chairman would overlook a qualified black manager in favour of a white one, and I think it would be wrong (and in fact, even more racist) to choose a candidate BECAUSE they are black. It's an insult to the candidate. It's a results driven business with severe financial consequences, the best choice must always be made. I'm not saying racism doesnt exist, it clearly does, but I wish people would stop making an issue out of something that isn't. |
