Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

Any chance we can appeal the Son appeal? True colours finally show out.

And as for the racist chanting, stadium ban required. Disgusting and shameful in the same breath.

Genuine question.

If they did walk off, what happens to the 3 points they were easily winning ?

Those 3 points are awarded to Liverpool in that case.

Racist abuse, tannoy announcements, calls for the FA investigate . As Neville said 'if it happens in other countries we'd demand action the same should apply here'. Odds on the FA will do nothing because it might damage the 'product'. Let's see how the UK sports media go on about this because we know they get on their high horse if it happens in other countries. Chelsea players should have walked off as advised by the UK media when England play in other countries. I smell the stench of hypocrisy.

Quite. East European racists are obviously real racists and media collectively tut.

North London racists are obviously judged by a different racist colour code. As it were.

Still, another proud First for the super duper Spurs ground. Not 1, not 2, but 3 "please dont be racist, its not nice" announcements.

I am sure that achievement will be trumpeted when Levy (eventually) gets naming rights.

Herr Flick it is then.

The comedic reference will be lost on younger viewers.

UEFA 3 stage protocol.

"Step one of the three-step protocol involves a message played over the PA system, with step two seeing the referee take the teams off the pitch for a period of time.

If the players return to action and another incident of racist behaviour occurs, the game is then abandoned as the third step of the protocol".

Isn't the last protocol that the team suffering racial abuse is awarded the game 3-0.

Sod 'em some people might say, I couldn't possibly comment.

 

[Blues Harp]

If that's your thinking then I feel sorry for you and sincerely hope you don't have any children. You are part of the problem.

Thank you for that considered response....too late, I have 3 lads, oldest 40, youngest 21, and I fear for their future.....what a horrible comment that is...bye lad.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Genuine question.

If they did walk off, what happens to the 3 points they were easily winning ?

Was thinking the same.... Surely the Premier league need to clarify this before it comes to the point where players leave the pitch...

Is the game restarted after a time out... Is it replayed another day from the same time/score, is the score at the time of walkoff considered the final score?...

If they were serious about this issue we probably would already know...

 

[Huyton Layne]

Herr Flick it is then.

Von Smallhausen as number 2?

To be fair to Neville he at least said live on air (to the dismay of the presenter) exactly what the issue is.

We're a country that has just overwhelmingly elected an openly racist prime minister, we're going down a path of radical nationalism and we give TV time to crackpot right-wingers who specialise in scare-mongering people into disliking other cultures.

Racism in football is a consequence of racism in society. You can't sit there and criticise the likes of the Bulgarian or Croatian FA when you've got flag waving "INGERLAND!" fans filling up most of the stadiums here every week.

Blimey, hard news from Sky.

Did Neville say this today ?

If so good on him, racism over the last few weeks has got out of control.

Basically said the people in the positions of massive power in this country themselves are constantly in the news for racism. So if the people at the top can be racist and no one cares, people at the bottom are going to feel justified in being racist too. He's spot on but Sky forced the presenter to throw a disclaimer in.
