No, I haven't. I've suggested that perhaps a sense of proportion is lacking.

Re: Beardsley future Toon gaffer?

So because these allegations are only coming to light now he's 57 he should just be given a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again? Unbelievable how racism is still viewed in this country. Eh? The point is whether it's a long term pattern of systematic abuse or a handful of isolated incident...

Re: Beardsley future Toon gaffer?

Im curious what you think about the latest allegations leveled at him. The three comments now being reported are what they’ve come up with after interviewing all of the U23 and U18s. Presumably they’re the worst of it if The Times decided to run with them. Outside of those, what’s the worst comment ...

Re: Beardsley future Toon gaffer?

So because its not the worst thing to have ever happened, young players should just put up with racial prejudice from their own coach? Who said they have to put up with it? Those in charge can, however, weigh up whether Pedro is a goose-stepping fully paid up member of the ultra right-wing, or whet...

Re: Beardsley future Toon gaffer?

When the **** did this place turn into the Daily Mail comments section? This. Beardsley is rumoured to have made racist comments. Last thing I thought I'd see was people defending the content of the supposed comments. Saying people have said far far worse without others getting all in a tizzy about...

Re: Beardsley future Toon gaffer?

I agree in general with the bolded but I don't think it applies to this case. There's a history of allegations against him and an investigation going on at the club. It's not as if he's being trialled by twitter. He's 57 years old. These allegations span a pretty short period of that life. What was...

Re: Beardsley future Toon gaffer?

Everyone says stupid s*** from time to time . How long has he been coaching these spoilt over sensitive brats? How many supposedly deeply hurtful things has he said? In what context were they said? Do you play footie? I hear all manner of s*** said on a pitch. It doesn’t send me running to mummy. O...

Re: Beardsley future Toon gaffer?

"You lot should be better runners" My God! Are the players alright? They must go to a therapist ASAP! Aimed at everyone then i'd agree but it was aimed at black players which then takes on a whole other meaning added to what else he's been accused of i'm more inclined to think that that comment isn...

Re: Beardsley future Toon gaffer?

I guess I’m from an older generation as the quotes of Beardsley’s supposed racism outlined in the Chronic today seem trifling to me. How do these kids manage to cope with a bit of on the pitch goading if these sorts of comments send them running to HR?

Re: Holidays

Tokyo/Kyoto recommendations welcome, off tomorrow and planned nowt Hozugawa boat ride is enjoyable as is the train ride to the jumping off point. Some of the Kyoto temples are a bit grim these days (at least they were this summer) as they are literally overrun by Chinese tourists. Nara is a nice pl...

Disappointing performance. You'd hope for a bit more at this stage, especially against second string US opposition.

Re: Portland Timbers vs Newcastle United

I don't care about the goals conceded given our defence. I'm more concerned that we haven't threatened their goal for almost the entire game.
