Jim White on Talksport today (it's on in the office) was talking about himself going down to Twitter HQ and demanding he speak to the CEO and they wouldn't even accept his business card when he was turned away. He's "pushing for progress on this issue" but when a caller called in and said that he has been racially abused IRL and had proof on film and the police did nothing Jim just moved on to the next caller. Not interested in tackling real racism in society, just wants to get rid of twitter trolls. Wish I didn't have to listen to this shit.
Jim White doesnt tend to give a whole lot of opinion on things, he's just the presenter
You can skip right past the step where they miss a penalty.
A black player doesn't need to miss a penalty to be racially abused.

Both. In this country, specifically, Brexit has correlated with a rise in hate crimes/racial abuse. Fortunately, recently media outlets have shone more of a light on the abuse that has always existed.
I agree with Phil Neville that players should boycott social media, for a couple of months at the very least.
Also, "a handful of people said atrocious things on Twitter" has turned into a genuinely reportable story, which -- because, at Twitter volumes, you can find people saying literally anything -- means that this gets reported a ton.
It's definitely not great but I don't really know that reporting on it, screenshotting tweets and retweeting them, etc serves to expose, rather than amplify, the racists/trolls.
LOL Holloway. I've honestly usually liked him and his press conferences etc, but that's an amazing take.
If the articles just named people and said "these people are racist cunts" it would be better. Don't quote their vile shit. Just out them.
This.
Bury are about to get kicked out of the EFL on Friday, because of a fucking conman with an overly inflated sense of his own self worth. Steve Dale has no right to be anywhere near a football club, yet here he is, with a club that's got over a hundred years of history, and it's going to go pop because he wants to make a quick £3m.
For those unaware, the company carrying out the administration of Bury FC, RCR Holdings, was registered in July. There's one director. That director is the partner of Steve Dale's daughter. There are assets of £100, yet apparently Bury owe them £7m.
With Bury having games suspended left and right, and Bolton seemingly doing whatever they want, it's throwing the season into chaos already. It's August. Not a Bury fan, we (Lincoln) came up with them last season,
Please, whoever you support, try and make whatever noise you can about getting rid of Steve Dale from Bury FC and keeping the club alive. It's a fucking travesty.
Holloway clears it up - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/aug/21/eu-to-blame-football-new-handball-rule-ian-holloway
Well, sort of??
Well, sort of??
That's one convoluted way to avoid admitting he's that stupid.
Its very sad to see man, no surprised this Steve Dale is an outright cunt, wouldnt wish this on any club in the EFL.
Anyways, Lincoln seem to be doing well so far in League 1 with 9 points 9 goals scored already, good luck to your team!
The revelation that his daughter's partner runs the administrators is just... Yeah. If it's not criminal then it should be. Absolute arsehole.
And absolutely! We've had a dream start, result last night didn't go our way but we absolutely battered MK in the second half, just couldn't find the finish
Speaking of which...former director has seemed to chain herself to the building in protest.
I mean, it's good they are doing this but they've can't use that capacity as British law dictates they need a rail/tram link after 60,000 people.

Who says they won't have one?
Articles like this from the echo say it's not impossible, especially after the success of the concerts at Anfield this summer.
Lol yes
Someone asked James Pearce on his Q&A about logistics and he said this:
Thanks guys, a new station at Anfield I think was stated in Network Rails strategy for CP7 (although I can't for the life of me find a link to it now). I'm just hugely pessimistic as the government never puts any money into the rail system whatsoever. Especially considering how much the British government traditionally dislikes LFC.
EDIT:
Found it: Here and here. Control Period 7 (CP7) runs from 2024 to 2029 and Control Period 8 (CP8) runs from 2029 to 2034. That is mainly why I'm pessimistic, it's still 10-15 years away!
I'm going to karaoke on Saturday. My song choices will heavily depend on the result.
Regarding Pogba, the worst part of the racism is the majority of fans want Rashford on penalty duty. Yeah; racially abusing Pogba so another black player will take penalties instead. Absolute pondlife. If anyone can be identified it should be straight up lifetime bans from grounds.

I feel more confident than usual that arsenal can score more than once, but I still also expect to ship four or five goals.
I think any confidence comes from the fact you haven't started the season playing particularly well (from what I've seen), a belief that Emery has learnt from last time, and the additions to the squad making us a bit better.
Personally I expect us to lose, but I'd be extremely happy with a draw. A draw tomorrow and then 3pts next weekend pls.
Recently at Anfield we tend to get blown away within the first 20 minutes, I hope we can at least make a game out of it this time. I really can't see us getting any points though, unless Liverpool have a really off day
People have been getting carried away with our 2 wins, Newcastle are awful and we made hard work of beating Burnley at home

I don't expect to win but I don't expect to get blown out.
Maybe like 2-1 going into the 80th minute and Liverpool make it 3-1.
