Steve Watts Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 30 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: If a prominent black person died and a white person previously convicted of racism against a Police Officer tweeted the equivalent they WOULD lose their job and be labelled a racist for life. You either believe in equality or you don’t, it can’t be one sided. What he’s posted is incitement (not everyone will react but enough will). If he gets fired he can have no complaints. He will no doubt have a clause in his contract that deals with behaving in ways that could harm the company. His comments may possibly cost the station listeners and ultimately advertising cash if he is retained. He is perfectly entitled to feel the way he does, but this certainly would have been a situation that he will have been better off having those thoughts and not sharing them on a global platform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is aligned with the approach that the Premier League and the FA will take with their competitions this weekend. Further information, in respect of how football, Clubs and their supporters will commemorate Her Majesty’s reign will be confirmed at an appropriate point. Details regarding rearranged games will be announced in due course. Edited September 9, 2022 by Curr Avon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhurst Red Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) The question now will be, when will the Preston game get played? Next obvious gap is October 11th/12th - meaning we have 4 Home games in the space of 14 days, with a trip to Brum thrown in as well After that, it looks like October 25th, between Reading Away and Swansea at home. After that, could be 2023 as the W/C schedule will kick in, which is less than ideal as we will also have FA Cup and potential league cup 4th round to deal with. Busy times ahead.

BLRed Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Absolute joke to cancel this weekends fixtures. People can still pay respect at football. why are others expected to continue in their jobs yet footballer aren’t? And what are those whereby football is their life or job on a weekend supposed to do? Sit and watch the same monotonous shit on every channel regarding the queen for 10 days? absolutely the wrong decision and it now makes the fixture schedule even more hectic having to rearrange said fixtures considering it’s broken up by a farcical World Cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In January 1999, Sinclair was convicted of causing criminal damage to a car, following a night of drinking with other West Ham players at the club's Christmas party in Romford. In November 2017, Sinclair was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, common assault and criminal damage after a woman was hit by a car in Lytham St Annes. On 2 January 2018, Sinclair was convicted of drink driving, urinating in a police car and racially abusing a police officer by calling him a 'white c***'.
