I don't get that either. When it comes to identifying racists I always find their tendency to make racist comments is a big clue.I also take issue with something mentioned earlier today, namely a racist comment made "in jest". How does that work? Surely that's like stabbing someone in jest. "Yes Officer, I hacked his head off with a machete, but it was only in jest, I'm not a murderer."

Not a murderer in the sense that murderers are murderers.

In addition to the objections raised by most posters, I am concerned about SB's strategy in offering the contract.A lot of us think the current squad is more than capable of getting us promoted, but Bruce started playing the card that the players bought in could not cope with the pressure. To me, that is an admission that he is unable to assemble a coaching team or the tactics necessary to do this.It does not look good, in my view.
