IITB, you were one of a number of posters who say it should be “All Lives Matter”. I’ll explain why it isn’t.
As in a previous post I’ll refer back to the Suffragette Movement of the early 20th C. Their slogan was “Votes for Women”. It was not “Votes for All”.
Two reasons for this. 1. It was highlighting one particular demographic, the one that was suffering injustice. 2. Men already had the vote. It was about raising the rights of one group so that it was on an equal footing with the others.
We have had 300-400 years of “Only White Lives Matter” or to put it another way “Black Lives Don’t Matter”.
Many white people think that everything is now hunky-dory in our modern, enlightened age, but incidents home and abroad prove that it isn’t. That is why we need to show solidarity.
If Eisa & McAttee are wanting a big money move, then they’re going the wrong way about showcasing their skills.
I’ve never seen a player who runs hot and cold as much as Eisa. He makes Hakeeb look like Mr Consistency!
Jarvis does look no better than National League standard but I think there’s a player in Devarn Green, but he needs a run of games in the same position.
Too many other unknown quantities also. Hippolyte, Mooney, Dunwald-Turan (I’d even add Taylor to that).
Catch-22. When Cox can field his best players we look okay. But through no fault of his own he can’t and the second string don’t look good enough.
Been out today with a couple of mates including Sunderland and Bradford fans.
My Bantam pal wants McCall sacked and Parkinson reappointed. And my Mackem mate was bemoaning the fact that Johnson has done nowt and is no better a replacement.
It’s the old managerial roundabout of course and who’s to say manager x will do better than manager y? That’s why I’m prepared to give Cox more time.
The fact is that this Cox guy thinks that he knows best.
This “Cox guy” is getting paid to do what he thinks is best.
He has shown that given a fully fit squad he can get us playing decent stuff. Unfortunately, for various reasons he hasn’t been able to do so for any length of time, and the back up players are not doing the business as yet. As MKI states above, many haven’t had the game time to prove themselves. Others have and proved they’re not up to L2 standards.
If Neil keeps us in this division in such bizarre circumstances. He deserves to be in charge for 2021-22.
That our second string players are coming up short. I fully understand why Cox put Loft on the bench as he’d run his socks off against Harrogate and Orient. But to change both strikers? Maybe McAttee should have started in place of Taylor.
Any news on McGahey? Don’t want him out for any length of time.
I never see racism taking place at football games or Formula One meetings, so what actually wants changing???
Hand sanitiser, face mask and blinkers then, eh?
As I keep saying, some of you just don’t get it. Or refuse to.
It’s not just about abuse and discrimination in sport. It’s about injustice EVERYWHERE. How can people who work in manufacturing, service industries or the armed services make a gesture?
Sports men and women are taking the knee on behalf of all. That is because their actions are visible. If the staff of M&S took the knee every day before opening the store, who would see it?
Some of you need to give your heads a wobble and wake up to what’s happening outside your comfort zone.
