Good Morning Everyone,
The U21's came from a goal down last night to sink Brentford in the last fifteen minutes of the game. Brenford went ahead in the second half against the run of play, and looked to be cruising to victory, but Del Fabro headed an equalizer from a Adryan free kick with twelve minutes remaining. Five minutes later Parkin fired home the winner.
Racism is widespread in English football with police having to deal with hundreds of incidents from the top of the game right down to grassroots level, an investigation has revealed.
It also revealed that Chelsea supporters have been involved in the most number of reported racist incidents as they travelled to and from matches on trains. Leeds United and Manchester United were joint second with 10 incidents each, followed by West Ham with eight, Arsenal with four and Portsmouth with four.
It follows the high profile case of a black man who was prevented from boarding a train in Paris by Chelsea fans as they sang a racist song, with five of them due in court this week. The information, gathered from 24 police forces across the country, shows there have been over 350 incidents since 2012.
Chief operating officer Matt Child has left the club after less than three-and-a-half months in his Elland Road post after less than three and a half months at his post.
Child, with a background in telecommunications, while also previously holding senior positions in private equity backed companies, was handed “immediate responsibility for the management of day-to-day business” when United president Massimo Cellino announced his appointment in December.
