    good points, I think they need to be sure about the 'noises' that were supposedly heard. Much like our chant for 'Gooooooooooooch' can be misheard as a boooo, ( we had the same with Mart 'Poooooooooooooom') there may be a chant with similar sounds to the ' monkey noises' which have been heard by the player. It could be a genuine mistake. I'm sure that modern technology can pinpoint what and where the noises were. If its genuine racism I hope they are charged, not just banned from the stadium.

    Never heard the expression if you haven't got anything good to say don't bother at all?

    The OP would have about 2 posts if he followed the above... always posting negative ****e

    Aye I mean a lot of it's true but that doesn't mean it's worth saying. We all know our club is in a mess we don't need constant reminders about it.

    Exactly you'd think he was just looking to try to get bites from people.

    Maybe he is...

    So it seems our man was right to pull up Neville after all.

    Imagine if the referee had, as some people believe he should have, stopped the game and taken the players off.

    As the OP proves it's very easy to become hysterical over nothing.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51012632

    "Tottenham say there is no evidence to support allegations of racism from Spurs fans towards Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger during their Premier League encounter on 22 December.

    Play was stopped during Chelsea's win at Tottenham after German defender Rudiger said he heard monkey noises.

    A Spurs statement said the club and the Metropolitan Police had "now exhausted all avenues of investigation".

    Spurs added that the police had closed the crime report on the matter."

    A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said, "Our enquiries suggest Mr Rudiger just needed to nip off for some last minute Christmas shopping."

    I realise the train wreck was in motion before they joined but jeez if anything it speeded up before they had a chance to get comfy in their new non exec chairs.
    The whole exercise has been one of mealy mouthed tokenism straight out of methven's playbook and perpetrated by dodgy donald.
    Seriously what do messrs ' moanes and groanes ' really hope to achieve.
    Every man and his dog knows these 2 have as much influence as a beggar on a third world street corner.

    "Every man and his dog knows these 2 have as much influence as a beggar on a third world street corner."

    It appears you're as wrong about this as you were with everything in your OP.

    He appears to be very involved, committed and influential.

    In this interview , just over an hour
    in, he spells out why he's there and what his remit is. He's obviously very intelligent and passionate about the club ....

    ... after listening to this I doubt there's a single genuine Sunderland supporter who won't be pleased he's here.
