It's silly but man oh man, reading this stuff surprises me. I can't agree with the tone of some of this commentary. The right twenty years ago would have laughed at the left's reaction to this but now it's very apparent that they have accepted the left's social arguments and just reproduce their talking points. It's feeding into acceptance of thought policing and people will only have themselves to blame. Edited by Stirlingsays (08 May 2023 8.44am)

I haven't been to Spurs for a long time, but do the stewards there look badly at the Spurs fans when they carry out their anti-Semitic chanting? Or has that chanting now stopped? Several renditions of “Yid Army” we’re sung

However, when I was growing up everything the far left were talking about has now become the establishment. The only thing the far left don't own is economic policy. That is pure neo liberalism.....so the right don't even own that anymore. Edited by Stirlingsays (08 May 2023 9.12am)

This is clearly a misunderstanding. It's similar to when I was accused of racial abuse against Bob Hazell of QPR, when all I was doing was singing the opening bars of my favourite song at the time, "Ooh, ooh, ooh, the funky gibbon (funky gibbon)" by 'The Goodies'. I expect this bloke had a piece of grit in his eye, or was wiping away his tears at an impending Palace defeat. Nothing to see here. That grit got into both eyes at the same time. Was there no paramedic nearby with eyewash?

No, I was there on Saturday, they still burst into renditions of Yid Army at frequent intervals. On the Son incident, I doubt he even saw the bloke being highlighted in social media, looking into a crowd you cant see everyone.

Edited by Stirlingsays (08 May 2023 9.02am) Making a general observation, the boundaries of what is considered 'Racist' are elasticated, being stretched on a regular basis.I suspect we will reach the stage whereby stating that one is not partial to 'Irish stew' will enter the 'Racist' category. I am sure outside of HOL, over some liquid refreshments I could elaborate and expand on my views ! My response has always been that I abhor some of this 'Modern' thinking and ideology and that at my age, thankfully, I will not have to endure this hogwash for too many years !

How close is a paramedic to the average seat in a massive football stadium, in your football-attending experience? If you got grit in your eyes, would you try to remove it yourself or would you seek out a paramedic to provide you with an eyewash? Have you ever been to a criminal court, where a defendant - or more likely their brief, with the defendant remaining silent - will spin every cock-and-bull yarn to sow doubt in the minds of the jury members?
