R.e Vinicius. Like the Lukaku incident, racists are free to do what they want. And you just have to take it on the chin. You even get praised for ‘being gracious’.
React in a way they don’t like though and it’s you who gets punished.
How does that make any sense whatsoever?

The Notts County/Wrexham title race is incredible but when will there be a serious discussion about the number of automatic promotion places from the National League?
We could have a scenario here where one side with 100 points may not get promoted which is farcical.

Really good to be at the Jack Leslie statue unveiling at Home Park this afternoon.
Leslie was called up to play for England in 1925, but was denied a cap because he was black.
He has been awarded a cap posthumously, it was announced today.

John Yems, eh?
Won’t talk too much about it but this is what happens when people get offended by being called racist, more than the act of racism itself. It just turns into verbal gymnastics to avoid calling a spade a spade. These things don’t happen by accident.

The treatment of Vinicius has been a joke all season. La Liga authorities completely useless. Yet Vinicius constantly gets on with it and is by far the best player in the league. Today, he finally reached his limit and still showed restraint. And it’s him who is punished.

Klopp showed the same amount of aggression as Mitrovic, if not more, to a match official. Mitrovic grabbed the ref for a split second but the LFC manager made a bee-line in such an aggressive manner for no reason. What example is this setting if a punishment isn’t handed out?

Recently it was asked:
Would you rather: Be given £1M up front or a chance at £10M if you score a goal in a PL game?
People were saying they would go for £10m.
After watching this, they’ll be kicking themselves for passing on 7 figures. They won’t get a touch let alone score
This is amazing insight! 🤩
