Wonder what he's done?

Something to do with racism, according to The Sun!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He abused a black official whilst at Oxford United and got the sack there.....

No smoke without fire.

It was on Sky Sports News last night on that ticker thing at the bottom, but it only went along once which I thought was a bit odd.

He said to a young white centre-half, currently playing in the first team, that he had a "black f***ing attitude".

 

[Les Biehn]

Has he not been done for this sort of shit before?

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

He also got the boot from Chester after allegedly shagging the centre halfs wife

It's in the local rag now - Mark Wright was bollocking the lad when he came out with the phrase "black attitude."

But it's okay because John Barnes is his best mate, FFS.

Whilst not defending what he said and attitude problems are in no way confined to black players, it is true that there doesnt seem to be a week goes by but some 'Leon' style incident happens.

Some of these kids have to realise that to get all the bling and the fancy cars, you DO actually have to put the graft in.

I'm SURE I will be accused of Racism for saying this, but i'm sure i'm not the only one thinking it.

I'm not accusing you, but I'm not really sure what you mean....

I must admit I do agree with this to a certain extent. Certain black players like Knight, Dyer, Pennant, Ferdinand etc do seem to have a ponchant for ideas above their station, material excess and a lack of respect for others.

However certain white players, such as Morris, Bowyer, Woodgate, Terry seem to enjoy the odd punch up, spending stupid amounts of money and getting so pissed they can't see.

I think it is more of a social problems, i.e coming from poor backgrounds, just comes out in different ways, which may be a cultural thing.

I think Wright probably meant it the more traditional misconception of black players being lazy.

Oh I see. I dont really think you can categorise by race, I think its far more to do with the individuals background.

Which is the point I alluded to. However you still have to take into account that certain distasteful traits can be sublimated in certain cultural characteristics. For example a lot of Anglo players tend to get in trouble for booze than Anglo-Caribbean or Anglo-African ones.
