Are you as daft as your comments make you appear?Of course football is a meritocracy. Which is why black players who make up only 3% of the population are so heavily represented at club and national levels. No one is daft enough to demand 87% of teams should be white and 10@ Asian.

Not in management they don't. And I've never demanded what your suggesting.

You're arguing with yourself now. Go have a lie down with a book on punctuation or seeth about the SMG or something.
 
I don’t think lots of City fans are racist (some, sure, not many)

However there is a difference between overt and subconscious racism.

It’s highly possible that Rosenior has come under more scrutiny because of subconscious character assumptions.

It doesn’t mean that everyone who is doing so is racist but it is a subject I don’t think should be shut down as nonsense when it’s brought up.

The subconscious bias nonsense.

Just reading through this thread, and I'm struggling to see the issue some are making of this statement. MO clearly isn't saying that all City fans disagreeing with Liam are racist. It reads to me like he's suggesting that that might be an opinion some of the more unhinged in our fanbase hold, and considering how racism is still somehow a way too common issue in this sport, it isn't a stupid assumption to make at all, as every club has those sort of ****s around.

Could it be worded better? Yeah, probably. But the mountain some are making out of this molehill just looks ridiculous to me.

His statement was ****ing stupid. He said there's no other rational reason for Rosenior to get criticism other than racism.

It's on par with saying anyone who was critical of the Allams was Islamophobic and was a card-carrying member of the EDL.
 
Guys can we drop the racist stuff, nobody wants LR out or to fail because of his race or anything along those lines. If you really think that then go make that claim and discuss it on another thread.

This was and should still be a decent level headed debate.

Am I allowed to ask a question?

It wasn't a statement, it was a question. Would think someone working in education would know the difference.
 
i think some of the criticism with rosenior is just the fact we havent been winning enough games at home
home games are well at home.. where the majority of the teams fans are

and i think we do have perhaps too high expectations with both the chairman etc massively bigging up the club and some of the signings

i think if we dropped more points away but won more at home, it'd be different

we are third in the table for away points... but 21st for home points.

only sheff wed and qpr have less points at home than us this season

and only lester and ipswich have more points away than us this season
 
For **** sake - can we stop all this 'racism' accusations - it ain't good reading and it's a load of bollocks - if you criticise Rosie doesnt mean you're racist, if you criticise Alex Scitt doesnt mean you're racist or a misogynist - so please stop trying to find offence in everything someone says - it's embarrassing and quite frankly says more about the way your mind works than anything else - I thank you
 
All we need is for Jaden to play a simple pass at times when he’s running into a cul de sac. Until he proves he can beat two or three men when stood still on a regular basis then he should mix it up . He’ll learn I’m sure , head up pass to the runner and a one two
Except his cracking g goal last night, but he got space because he made it . He has people continuously inside of him but he so often doesn’t play it . Other than that he’s great to watch !

Just to be clear, I’m not offended by it. I just think it shouldn’t be dismissed or taken as an insult by people if the question is asked in the first place.

But I do agree, this clearly isn’t a place for this conversation sadly. Doesn’t seem like there’s any point in continuing it.

Obviously hit a nerve with certain posters.
 
I'm going to take a couple of days away from the board and will be back when all this absolute nonsense is over. I am absolutely stunned about this whole supposed racism debate. It is beyond ridiculous. It has turned a good, well natured and balanced thread into an absolute farce.
