Good to see the club taking a stand, so to speak.

Yes, you've got to keep people on their toes.

Well done SAFC. Love this quote:

There has been a mixed reaction on the Sunderland fans' Ready to Go online forum, with some welcoming the club's stance but others complaining the move will discourage a noisy atmosphere at the ground.

So the argument is, you can only sing if you're blocking someone else from seeing the game?

No, the noise of the yelling from those that get their views blocked will disappear. This yelling is often mistaken for atmosphere.

Ture. I don't know why clubs persist in lying about this.

Standing opens up your larynx. So you can only sing proper when you're standing.

Some poeple want to find offence when there is none, that's how. They should get out more methinks.

A 10 year old has a Twitter account. Coupled with the photo, the parents are hardly on the ball, methinks.

Not the lad's fault, obviously, but the parents should know better.

So how does that pic make out a 10 year old lad to be a racist?

I remember the Black and White minstrel show being prime time Saturday night viewing.
That has nothing to do with this 10 year old lad.

I don't believe there was any alterior motive than the lad paying hommage to his favourite player.

Think this country is going flipping crazy. To many frigging do gooders looking for something that isn't there!!!
