Should've let the horse have a crack back 

With the state of some of em at the front of the stands every time a saints player went near it's hardly surprising.

Always the case when they play their ‘neigh’bours.

Should have shoed the rum jockey.

One of their mane lads apparently, hope he got hoofed out of the ground.

Disgraceful. Short banning order and he'll be back in the saddle before long.

Heard the horse is in a stable condition now.

You suggested there's only a "racism outcry" because it's a white man who posted something about a black man, and if it was the other way round, nobody would be bothered. The only conclusion I can draw from that is - black people shouldn't be offended by racist tropes because racism against whites isn't as prevelant or obvious. Maybe I misunderstood. 

Yes you did. Silva had some banter with a team mate Mendy. And because he was black, the racism card has been played by others - but not by Mendy, when it was simply "banter" - with no intention of being racist. Its pathetic. If he had intended it to be a racist slur - I'd be as disgusted as you clearly are.

I'm not personally disgusted by it at all. But I'm not black, and I've never been racially abused, so I'm not in a position to say black people who have been racially abused are being "pathetic" and over-reacting to something you and I might class as mere "banter" - and I doubt you are either.

I see Holding was back for Arsenal last night against Forest, and scored shortly after taking the captain's arm-band with 20 minutes to go.

I think that's the whole point here... The person who was on the end of the banter knew he was being racially abused, it's others with an agenda being offended on his behalf.

Wilbraham on for his first appearance of the season. Caused havoc as soon as he came on and Dale equalise at United. Brilliant.

Actually, I think it's a few people recognising the signs of a racist trope and expressing their emotions, then the media blowing it up to get a reaction. If it was banter between 2 mates in the public eye, it should probably have been sent privately.

Maybe it should but then maybe the two people involved didn't see anything to cause offence?

For me the point is it wasn't racist, so kick it out can fuck off if they think they can push for action to be taken and have him charged 

But

It doesn't mean I can tweet a picture of a monkey to raheem sterling and pass it off as a banter

Not that I would

But there'll be folk our there who will be deliberately obtuse about it and think they can 

For that reason Silva has been incredibly naive

If it's a joke between mates then do it on a what's app group, there's no need to share it with your 600k followers

Maybe not, but as they're in the public eye and it was posted publically, onlookers have a right to express their opinion. As I said, I'm not black, and I've never been racially abused, so I have no right to tell anyone they're over-reacting by finding it offensive.

Can't imagine the same outrage if Mendy called Silva a dwarf 😊

Exactly.

C’mon Dale!

Oxford and Sunderland both beat Premier League teams tonight.

[only1stig]

Good luck Dale. 

Wilbra to head the winning pen from the spot. 

[Zico]

28 mins of added on time at Burton

(Due to 4 power cuts)

Waiting for reports of where Rochdale's mob The Chosen Few tried it on tonight from Rog. My money's on them shitting out and mobbing up in Kearsley.

[deane koontz]

Yeah, Ole is United's Owen Coyle.
