    What the f*ck is happening to our country... get a grip FA !!!!!!!
    Is it now racist to call the NZ rugby team the "All Blacks" ????

    A "Super White Army" banner was covered up during an England football match after a picture with it in was shared online by one of the team's players.

    The sign at Tranmere Rovers' ground was obscured by the FA for the Lionesses' World Cup qualifier, hours after Lucy Bronze shared the photo online.

    People responding to the post suggested the banner could be seen as racist.

    Tranmere Rovers Supporters' Club said it was "not remotely racist" and referred to their team's shirts.

    England's Lionesses had been embroiled in an ongoing row before Tuesday's match over discrimination allegations made against the team's manager Mark Sampson, who has since been sacked over an unconnected matter.

    The FA confirmed it took down the banner at Prenton Park but said it would be making no further comment.

    Supporters' club chairman Mark Bartley said the banner had been on display at the ground since the summer, but the words had "been our motto for years" and the decision to cover it "was a one-off [which] will have no impact on us".

    "We are proud of our club colours, as are all fans up and down the country... and will continue to use the chant at our games going forward," he said.

    "It is not remotely racist - it is simply a reference to the white shirts that our team wear."

    Tranmere Rovers FC declined to comment.

    I'm surprised that arsehole Trevor Phillips hasn't stuck his oar in yet.

    It's been ridiculous for some time now, however, it's beginning to beggar belief ?!?!

    Well f*cking ignore it. Have any of the All Blacks objected? Have they f*ck. If you want to call them the All Blacks then carry on doing so.

    Its about time some of these little PC politically correct got a good f*cking pasting. Common sense is all you need.

    I would like to think most of us on here can decide whether were being racist or led by f*cking idiots.

    Schools can't have blackboards anymore but whiteboards are fine.
    I can see the day where the word black is banned altogether.

    You sure? I thought Schools changed to whiteboards cause blackboards are ****e obsolete technology, they were in the process of doing it when I was school and race was never mention for the reason. Messy things with dust everywhere blackboards. Whiteboards are going out of fashion now too for smart boards.

    Super White Army does sound like a white power group but fact is it ain't and that's all that matters.

    Can't believe the things people complain about these days. Are people with the surname Black, Brown or White going to have to change it? Is George going to change his name to Honeyperson?

    ****ing hell I've heard everything now. We replaced ours at school in the 90s, no mention of racism. So is it just known as the board now?

    Nah fella, don't have kids. Not blown over on the notion of bringing kids into this world tbh, would love kids but defo not at the moment and maybe not at all.

    Just like a whiteboard but it's electronic and use a stylus instead of a pen, you can also use presentation apps them so it doubles up as a monitor screen.

    Nee idea, you tell me.
    I left in 1983, it's a different world now.
    The new head is a prick like.
    My sons half sister, (same mam, different dad), was put in inclusion for having on a 'figure hugging skirt.'
    Never been a problem before until this arsehole got the job.
    So rather than say to the lassie, 'please wear a different skirt tomorrow', she lost a day's education. <doh>

    They are atm fella.
    There is more emphasis on uniform rules than actually teaching the kids.
