The Albion Roar

[Justice]

That was an interesting listen - especially the discussion on racism. Rather disturbing to hear that it seems to be on the increase again.

You haven’t noticed racism on the rise yourself especially during the last year or so?

In recent years I have spent most of my time abroad - in Cyprus, where there are quite a lot of racist attitudes which disturb me.

In the UK I really thought (hoped) that things had improved a lot during my lifetime and were gradually continuing to do so. Sadly it seems I may have been wrong, although I haven't personally seen evidence of this (as opposed to seeing stuff in the media).

I lived in Cyprus for a few months to be honest I found it a bit boring and then I got deported for working before getting slapped around in the local nick which was about the most exciting thing that happened there, I’m going back over 25 years so things have probably changed for the better by now.

Back to the subject yes the racism in football has been on the rise just have a look at the abuse black players get on social media. It’s driven by morons of course If for example Raheem Sterling had scored the goals to win the World Cup for England the same morons would be chanting his name.

As Bettie herself said on the show, racism in society - and in football - has improved since she started going in the 1970s.

However, what we talked about afterwards was that (I'm paraphrasing), while widespread in society, a lot of the racist attitude was just the prevailing wind. As racism dissipated over that time, the form of racism that is left is the nasty, spiteful, hateful stuff, rather than the 'it's just a joke...' stuff.

Words to that effect anyway.

Paul Barber on the latest one ..bits about this and next season ..very good listen

 

[clapham_gull]

Never usually bother with things like this, but this is a great listen.

Well done guys.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Brilliant show guys, thank you. Barber is a great listen, such a bright man. Said it many times before, we are lucky to have him.

I felt so much pride listening to that today and the efforts we went to around Covid. We truly are a great club with wonderful fans and fantastic people working for us from top to bottom.

Yes - a good listen. Excellent way to pass an hour in the car (especially when stuck in traffic). Would be even better if Al could remember that he is NOT supposed to be the star of the show! Can't complain too much, as it's free, and the presenters give up their own valuable time to do this. However, it could be even better if Al took more of a back seat and didn't spend so much time talking over Ady or the guest

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Listened to that whilst preparing and cooking the Sunday roast. Fascinating interview. Great to hear how the club helped so many people during lockdown.

Would ALSOLUTELY LOVE IT (said in an emotional Kevin Keegan stylee) if Albion Roar could somehow stage a bloodless coup and USURP the ever-pitiful Latest TV, whose crappiness knows no bounds

In agreement with you James. Far too Shouty, shouting over Paul Barber too often. So much good stuff from Paul Barber-when allowed to speak uninterrupted.

Don’t usually listen to anything if we’re doing crap but after beating Saints I listened to the latest roar (from before that game). Really enjoyable show - can’t disagree with anything Ady & Al said about our problems in front of goal and nice to hear calm level headed reactions from old school fans. Didn’t agree with Lamptey being a sicknote though - bit early for that and think you were forgetting last seasons games when mentioning the 9 games Al...!? Just feel Tariq has proved himself as a decent player who will go far already.

Really enjoyable and professional listen - keep up the good work

Never listen to this.

Is one of them a Piers Morgan and the other Susanah Reid?

Or is it more like the chuckle bros?

What is their view on Harry and Megan?


Any info much appreciated.

As [MENTION=457]sheebo[/MENTION] points out, we like to think we have intelligent discussion on the Albion matches. So no, the show isn't for you.
