Right I am talking about the recent outpouring of media coverage in the UK -not the nutters in Serbia or Russia. Former Newcastle goalkeeper Shaka Hislop described John Terry’s four-match ban as ‘soft’ and said that there was anger amongst black players after what he described as a ‘terrible 12 months in terms of racism in the game’. Hislop said: ‘For too long, black and minority players have felt that the authorities have paid only lip-service to the serious issue of racism in the English game.’ So what has this terrible 12 months’ of racism amounted to? One incident of racist abuse, and one of using racist language on the pitch, a few malign internet trolls and a handful of complaints about abusive fans. It’s hardly evidence that the English game is plagued by racism. The truth is that racial abuse - from players or fans - appears shocking precisely because it is so rare. If they (the FA) really want to look at racism in the English game they need to look at the complete absence of black let alone Asian people at any substantial level of the clubs -or heaven forbid in the hallowed rooms of the FA. They wont because theyre institutionalised racists themselves, and its convenient to point the finger at a couple of ill educated players. It then descends into a farce of will he wear the T shirt, will he shake his hand ? Chelsea FC could actually be held up as a bastion of anti-racism instead of ''JTs KKK club'' as the media would portray it. Jewish owner, jewish board, we've had Emantalo a black man at a level that no other club has had a black man, and a jewish manager with Grant. rant over

See what youre saying and theres no player bigger than the club etc. There probably is some disquiet and acrimony at board level to him becoming, not so much an embarassment, (they have no shame Gourlay, Buck etc ) but its a question of whether the saga affects revenue streams, and JT himself as a marketing commodity. Thats what would make them think offloading him, not any alleged act of racism, Lets not forget CFC and all top clubs are businesses first and foremost then a football club second, Anyway this 'racism' in football has been blown out of proportion -in fact fuck it I will start a thread.....

''an agent'' -yeah like an estate agent

Bonkers letting Mikel take that last free kick. Anyway, always going to be a hard game, Shaktar unbeaten in 20+ games. Never fear Chels will do the bizz at SW 6 in 2 weeks time

No hes having ''The FA are Cunts'' in latin

Headlines and stories everywhere like 'JT is currently banned for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand' Surely this shouldn't be allowed as its not actually correct, and JT should take all of the cunts to the cleaners? Even the likes of BBC sport, not just the sun etc. Its everywhere.

Mates spend a fortune on season tickets and aways, including European aways every year, and now loads more money going to Japan -I'll ask them

16 years, good god Mr Hardings friend , the balloonist Per Lindstrand said -''he was a Mission Impossible kind of guy, totally unafraid to stick his neck out -always carefree'' :blue scalf:

Ash on Twatter A Tottenham supporter before the game said to AC "welcome to hell". AC replies: more hellish walking to my local chip shop! Brilliant ! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Captain, Leader. Legend -that is all

Some free kicks, and a couple of goals, as against the Arse would be welcome today

Dazzling performance against Sp*rs right now on Chelsea TV from 1971

He can have a nice holiday now. Before that hope hes on the squad bench at Sp*rs and he can come on at the end to celebrate the win

-not excusing it but those U21's would have remembered British warplanes dropping bombs on their houses and schools not too long ago so feelings are very raw.

I don't think professional football clubs are the right organisations for people to appeal for ethical sensibilities. Its not Chelsea ''amnesty international'' FC. Its Chelsea ''make as much money possible by any means necessary, and if that means fleecing the fans, so be it'' FC

Cookes sweet second in a 4-0 drubbing of Leeds. I was at this game, and Chris Garland who scored twice i see now and again. Unfortunately he is crippled with Parkinsons disease

Certainly was -not irrational to say he was to the late 60s early 70s team what Hazard is now Happy Birthday Charlie Cooke

Cant believe we havent a thread. One of the best wingers ever. The crosser of many an Osgood header that found the back of the net 70 today :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Ivorian travelling fans were in the middle of the pitch with the players being guarded by soldiers. Senegal support set fire to their own stands. Shocking....Sky and ITV are missing a trick here battling it out for the England coverage....

thats what Jimmy Saville said...

Thats incredible. Grown up person swears. Anyone offended by swearing is complete cunt in my book. As the Clash sung -Know your rights, You are entitled to Free speech...unless youre dumb enough of course to actually try it

At last an England captain who's a role model, Wayne Rooney (Look, dont mention the diving for penalties, smoking, shagging grandmother prostitutes, pissing in the street, swearing down a camera in front of millions, having a long standing affair and threesome with two prostitutes whilst his wife is 5 months pregnant, and the apalling disciplinary record..OK ?)

At last some one talking sense http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2216364/David-James-says-anti-racism-campaigns-football-causing-unnecessary-trouble.html

Lots of false dawns about the demise of fatty, but think theres legs in the old pie eater yet
