    I did actually say that at that start but it was missed/ignored!

    Because no one equates Scotland to black.

    Which I haven't with Africa, but it's ok to assume so apparently. I wonder who the actual latent racist actually is?

    Fact is, I still can't name an actual great keeper and very few have ever played to a high standard outside of the continent.

    Which is the point. That, thankfully, most saw.

    Dumb point though.

    This is exactly the point. Goal keeping is the toughest position on the pitch because the keeper can’t hide. We have seen that every single goal keeper in the league tends to make a fool of themselves at least several times a year. But the notion of “never trusted” any African keeper is still a ******ed statement to make due to broad brush of applying it to wide range of people. Equally, it would be stupid to suggest that all English goal keepers are somehow unworthy. The fact is, continent of origin has nothing to do with goal keeping tendencies or any where on the pitch for that matter.

    I called Chief out specifically for apologizing in advance for how the statement would read before going on to make the declaration nonetheless. It demonstrates that he knew that the statement was probably stupid to begin with. It is that flagrant display of stupidity that I question.

    Fanny!!! You’re a genius, aren’t ya, Chief?! You’ve been defending your stupid statement tooth and nail but somehow it was sarcasm that you perceive some stupid American couldn’t understand.

    And yes! I’m as American as David Beckham, albeit not as gifted.

    Well yeah, because it was.

    I wasn't serious, obviously.

    You took it seriously, no one else did.

    And here we are, you keep coming back to it and you still can't name me a decent goal keeper to come out of Africa to show me just how wrong and 'dumb' I was.
