The brief bit I heard was all about his six pack and how gorgeous he looks and that came from McCoist and Parlour, thought I had turned into loose Women
Seems Kanes my conscience is clear article this week shows that his PR team have learned nothing from his extended holiday gaff , the advice should be shut your mouth ,don't speak to the press about anything other than football matters Kane is not doing himself any favours

It took 15 mins for Dixon to mention Kane/citeh but not a sniff of the arse rock bottom of the prem , I would rather pass a kidney stone the size of a hens egg than listen to Dixon
Totally predictable I'm afraid. Hungary is run by a Populist fascist and large sections of the population are perfectly ok with this. Overt racism has plagued this area of Europe for years and sport (particularly football) has been a lightning rod but FIFA etc have done nothing. Worldwide bans from all competitions for a minimum of 5 years and large fines paid to anti-racism charities ( not to FIFA) would be a start, but won't happen. And so it continues...
Getting the right punishment is much more complex than it seems. For example it has to be punishment that is seen as punishment by those receiving it. For all we know it might be seen as some kind of perverse badge of honour. We assume these racists will be affected by the punishment - you've got to be careful when assuming that everyone thinks the same way. Other problems are > punishing people that have nothing to do with the problem > just moving the problem somewhere else > if you punish people that believe in what they are saying/doing then you could be simply reinforcing those beliefs > how does the punishment change people's mind about their behaviour If the punishment doesn't change someone's attitude then it is not much more than making us feel better. There is certainly some merit in that, particularly to those directly affected, but it doesn't do much to prevent repeat problems later on. We all apply our own value systems to such situations and assume that punishment we would not want, they would not want either. This is not necessarily true. Find out what they don't want to happen to them, and work out what would actually stop this happening again.
