Despite being old (apparently - **sobs**), I was still quicker to act on it than you.

Ture. Right pain in the arse only having internet access on my phone.

Just Because someone hasn't directly stated a prejudice doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Not inclusive of course, but I'd argue a few Of his critics have a predisposition.

As for "hater" it's a slang term David.

Sadly in football "hate" is not just a slang term.

Of course the "Yak-haters" could say the same. You have no evidence. They have conclusive evidence against me My favourite striker of the last ten years was Brian Deane and now I support Yak. Clearly a predisposition to rate black strikers over white.

I have noticed a puzzle. Posters were unanimous in condemning Carl Cort while approving of Sol Bamber. They condemned Ryan McGivern while approving Ritchie Wellens. My guess is that Leicester fans have a predisposition to approve of players who do well for the team regardless of ethnicity..

Good theory. Oddly though, they have also approved of Iain Hume, and for a while Momo Sylla and Gareth Williams. How do you explain that when they were all so clearly dogshite?

It's interesting to note that you've chosen to spell Bamba's name wrongly again.

Probably a generational thing with Mr Gwilliam - I'm sure he doesn't mean it in a bad way :icon_wink

Rumours are gathering pace that Brighton have won the race for his signature.

Not helped by the fact that Darragh MacAnthony has just tweeted to say he's accepted another bid.

Well David. While I'm not really into arguing i stand my ground on this one a bit.

What you are saying is inclusive: "Leicester fans." mine is not "some fans."

Now I'll agree that generally Leicester fans aren't down on Yakubu because of his race, specifically SOME of them are.

There is a political comedian here called Bill Maher. A democrat. He says:

"I'm not saying that if you are a republican you are a racist: I'm saying that if you are racist you are probably a republican".

I'm not saying if you think yak is shit you are prejudice: but if you are prejudice you probably think yak is shit.

A controversial and over simple view of things of course, but it illustrates a point
For me there is an important distinction there.

I just get increasingly baffled. There was a time when I could name the eleven members of the team from Shilton in goal to Glover at number eleven. Occasionally a player might be replaced - Rodrigues by Whitworth, Nish by Rofe but it was easy to adjust. Nowadays we have squads and the players on the pitch in April are ones I have never heard of in the previous August.
All this is a fancy excuse for what American friends call "senior moments".

 

[dpjfox]

Whitworth Nish ohhh them were the days (i agree David, no squad rotation/team selection dilemas)

 

[Granite Fox]

You'd imagine he wouldn't want his daughter forever blowing bubbles (or anything else)

I thought Jacko used to do that?!

Well this has taken an odd twist, But they are a massive club so I guess we should have expected it.

For 3million Im happy. We can do better than him in my opinion.

 

[KLFox]

if he does not want to play for us then let's move on please Sven.

 

[city-faithful]

Bizarre indeed. But at least theres some extra coin to invest elsewhere, I guess.

A clear indication of greed over ambition. I hope he enjoys being a big fish in a small pond.
