London Wanderer Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, royal white said: It was said on here that since the knee it’s got worse and more divided. I agreed with them, others didn’t. You and others used KIO figures saying that racism had risen because more fans were now reporting it. If you read the figures properly that’s not true with regards to the professional game. Yes I remember discussing all that. As you said, some agreed and some didn't. I don't need to re-read those figures, we read the same ones and had different opinions on why more was being reported. Glad you've remembered anyway - you went off on some every strange tangents there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you've remembered anyway - you went off on some every strange tangents there. Because the figures don’t show what you thought. When you said more people are reporting it was because they’re braver (or words similar) yet when you look at the figures More people aren’t reporting. (in the pro game which is what we are obviously talking about). Not sure what the point in the KIO reporting procedure is, it appears they just use it as a record, I can’t see find any arrests or charges off the back of a report being sent to KIO. Not sure if you’ve seen anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you’ve seen anything? I've said a couple of times before we were talking about about all aspects of the game. Pro and grass roots. The knee was never just about pro-football. And in answer to your question, that's why more is being asked to be done. Still a long way to go clearly but good to see some of those abusers charged from the online abuse after the Euros. I think we now live in a culture where folk are more likely to call someone out for being a racist. More so than when I first started watching football.

Portsmouth game I walked through the turnstile with a bottle of water, complete with cap. finished the water, bought my lad a bottle of coke from the bar. Guy serving took the cap off so I just put the one from my water straight back on the coke bottle whilst he watched. For a minute I think he considered asking a steward to help him out. I honestly have no idea why they do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started taking bottle tops in my pocket because I've accidentally kicked my kids bottles over far too many times now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they let folk walk in with bottles. Anyone thinking of throwing a bottle on the pitch can take a spare cap in. Of all the procedures put in place, this one ranks as the dimmest.

But if it does happen, the club can rightfully say "We don't sell bottles with caps on", therefore the liability lies entirely with the bottle thrower.

It took my 10 year old nephew 2 goes at getting a bottle of sprite in there before one week he all of a sudden had a lid on it. Our kid asked him where he'd got that from, "I just kept the lid in ma pocket from one ma mum got me the other day". 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
