It was a shocking and uncalled for question. Tan should have stepped in and asked what difference the colour of a persons skin made and then asked the reporter to leave the room.
He liked a scrap.Would have packed football in and taken up boxing full time but his dad wouldn’t let him as a lot of clubs were after him. Only time I saw anyone make an issue of his colour was when we played Barham Boys and an older brother of one of their players said a few things. I told him if he didn’t shut up I would smack him if he was lucky. He asked why he would be lucky. I told him he would be lucky it was me and not his dad smacking him. A bit later every time he got the ball I heard a voice saying “ get that n…..”. Couldn’t see who it was and kept wandering around. Eventually came across the culprit. It was Curtis’s brother laid behind all the kit bags.
It's not only skin colour that defines one's character although there are plenty out there who like to make it so.
I get the train of thought, but that would then have made it into a massive media issue. The opposite of what is needed. Rosie answered it best with his first words .... "I never even thought about that .....". Maybe could have just left it there and moved on?
Only listened to the press conference in full this morning and I thought Liam Rosenier was very impressive. That one question was the low point and uncalled for because it is not an issue.
News to me. As a lad from a working class family living in North Hull I just saw Pele as an exceptional footballer, one I would like to aspire too, I don't recall anyone even noticing what colour his skin was. I certainly didn't.
Very encouraging conference before, the recruitment comments still leave me a little uneasy though (came across like he won't have much of a day). But I suppose it's just something we have to accept with the set up we have now.
Ofcourse it is I'm sure there'll be some kid inspired seeing rosenior managing It's about seeing representation with identity Same reason miles morales was popular in recent years And patrick viera made a mention of it recently Is he wrong
It is my opinion. I just dont see why someone's skin colour should be an issue. It's ability alone that counts, or so should be. Why is 'some kid being inspired' by seeing Rosenior as a manager any different from one seeing Andy Dawson in the same role, or Lewie Coyle captaining our club, Nicky Barmby playing for England, or Kean Lewis Potter playing in the Premier League?
I respect you dude but of cause you don’t get it you are white let’s not on here pretend we understand what it’s like to be in a minority group it’s ****ing embarrassing unless you are.
I get it totally. I was a lad with an awful stammer. I know first-hand all about embarrassment. My grandson is disabled with a severe speech impediment, your skin colour isn't the only ticket you need to be a member of a minority group.
And i'm sure someone with a disability seeing someone with something similar reach a high position is inspiring
