i don't think racism is any worse (if anything its the best its been) i think its spoken out against more thus highlighting more cases

So racism in football is the same as it was since the 70s and 80s and there's been a huge cover up?

no and that isn't what i have posted.

what i said was i think we are in a better place with racism (less of it) but there seams like there is a surge in it but that is only due to people being more comfortable reporting it/confronting it (a good thing)

How many people go football on an average Saturday in England?

700K?

A very small percentage partake in horribly abusing players, including racially. This has gone on, none stop, for time immemorial and it must be condemned, which it has been. But to say it has only been going since 2016, fueled by BoJo and Brexit, and is in epidemic proportion is BS quite frankly and, if anything, trivialises the real issue imo

 

If you take that 'very small' percentage and apply it to the nation, then though the percentage is small, the number will probably be quite a lot higher than people expect.

I agree with the rest of your post. It's nothing new sadly, but has been increasing for years, it's just not been covered as much by the media.

Really?  I don't remember 6 or 7 separate incidents of racist abuse on 1 weekend 3 or 4 years ago.  We may not have completely doused the fire, you never will but this has slowly crept back into the game more and more recently whether you like to admit it or not

No comparison. You can't make objective comparisons over time on the issue of race in the UK, what is acceptable is constantly evolving.

100% things are improving but it is now a topic that creates it's own media and therefore reporting is distorted.

Cant make any judgment on Haringey v Yeovil at this time because no facts are known. 

However, if someone has crossed the line with comments on the skin colour of the Haringey keeper then I say fair play for walking off. That in itself would never have happened at that level even ten years ago.

Game is being replayed tonight.

FA should have just put Haringey through

Terrible for Football IMO, Yeovil should have been kicked out and Haringey given a bye

Not really the fault of the club though is it?

Had the FA taken that approach then you may end up with fans masquerading amongst the opposition fans to get their side an easy win

Still should be kicked out tho.

People were saying Bulgaria should be kicked out of the next qualifiers, same thing here kick Yeovil out and make an example of them, will then make those idiots think twice before doing it again

People say lots of things, mostly bollocks! This is a fine example.

I don't think Yeovil did anything wrong as a club at all. A few morons went to an away game in their end. It is the morons that require punishing.
