Did you actually read my post or just latch onto that bit at the beginning? If a similar rule was in place here, no-one is being discriminated against in actuality- the hypothetical white manager of 'minimum criteria' who didn't get an interview wouldn't have got an interview anyway. And as far...

I think this was a euphemism...

Lots of sense coming from Nolberto's Salsa Inferno. The Rooney Rule, and its success in America, is interesting, because really, there is actually no 'positive discrimination' involved- clubs aren't obliged to hire the candidates they interview, and I don't buy for a minute the suggestion that...

Jonathan Pierce belongs on Robot Wars. But perhaps controversially I have to say John Motson.
