Nice to see sensitive and politically correct wording from Greg at the FA. Must've been hit by a half century time warp lightning bolt just before he made his remarks. Can happen to anyone.

Would never want to defend that man on anything but can honestly say I sort of understand.
As a kid I was certainly taught to use the term coloured as a non offensive way of describing black people.

Older now I can understand how it can cause offence, knowing more about history of racism etc but it is something that still naturally comes to mind before other more currently correct terms.
It can be confusing to us older ones but that's not necessarily bad as it keeps us talking about issues and understanding more over time.

So saying ' coloured ' is politically incorrect? but saying ' people of colour ' isn't politically incorrect?

I saw an interview today with US Democrat Senator Alexandra Cortez referring to herself and others as " people of colour" and have heard this particular terminology used by other US politicians.

Hmm .

{Ed001's Note - why are people concentrating on this? It wasn't about this, it was one small part of a number of comments which with derogatory and bigoted. It is not the first time in his case either, this is a long-running theme with Clarke. He is also the one who colluded with FSG on the project big picture thing, so was already being pushed out of the door. He should have never been appointed.}

Because that's the news headlines Ed01. Comments about gay and others are minor items late in the articles.
Nobody wants him there anyway, so no arguments there.
Yes Baz its confusing what is and isn't deemed OK, as I said it keeps the conversation going which is good.

{Ed001's Note - that's a shame because it is missing the actual issue, but I guess that is always the case with modern 'journalism'. They just want easy clicks rather than to actually tell the story.}

Exactly but that's not new Ed journalists are generally terrible IMO.
Either way no complaints here that's he's out!

{Ed001's Note - good point. Hopefully get someone in who actually has a clue, but I wouldn't hold me breath like!}

Noel Whelan making a big story that there’s a rift in the camp concerning a Pablo v Bielsa’s bust up. I’m not sure if this is true, just another pundit trying to make a headline.
It’s not the first time Pablo’s thrown a strop at been subbed. A non story in my opinion.

I have said it before about Noel Whelan

Whelan a mediocre 1 goal in 6 games pub standard player and a terrible, lousy ' pundit' as you correctly state OP looking to make a headline.

He certainly is NOT ( pro) Leeds and he should stick to punditry on Coventry and Boro.

10 Nov 2020 15:14:51
Bazook you never know no matter who the pundit is but him not being in the team tells a story in its sell its happen before it how MB runs the team, just hope he doesn’t tell Radz to sell him as well.

OP Whelan is a bit of a clown and was a below average player but he'll have good links into the club so I'm sure there's some truth to the story.

First things first without Pablo Leeds United would still be in playing in the Championship this season. He was easily the most influential player with his goals and assists last season and in fact for the past 3 seasons. He literally bleeds Leeds United.

As for the incident, Pablo apologised on Sunday 8th the day after the Palace game .

Yet 2 days later we still have Whelan the clown fanning the flames needlessly regurgitating the same speculative details ( George) adding absolutely NOTHING NEW pre Pablo apology.

Pablo expressed passion and disappointment when substituted and fully empathise with that . he bleeds Leeds United ( there is no comparison between Mr Leeds United Legend Pablo actions and It's all about me Pontus Jansson dissent ) .

Pablo has sincerely apologised and Bielsa will be an absolute fool not to draw a line under this now and start picking Pablo in the team / bench instead of ridiculously u23 rookies.

Baz It's called journalism allegedly. Whelly has to make a living somehow. What did you expect? A Pablo absentee media blackout to the story post the identical scoreline to the Foxes result? Never going to happen. Pablo is still marvellous but stories such as these shall always be printed. There's no obligation to read drivel. A quick appreciation pertaining my attitude to the majority of Berm posts an example of the same.

Yep fair points Georgey 👍.

10 Nov 2020 09:19:40
That's the snake slithering back under his rock. wonder which hole he will end up at next!? 🐍.

10 Nov 2020 12:33:44
League 1 club perhaps. maybe that is his true level .

Brighty When I posted something similar and earlier, it was deemed suitable only for discussion posts.

bit of a strange decision by Wednesday imo. Not Monks fault they had a load of points deducted and hasn't done a bad job.

10 Nov 2020 05:24:57
If we carry on playing there way we are then we we've got to look after ball better it s bloody great to watch but we tend give it away in final third to much and more player chipping in with goal MOT.

In reality the bottom line is that it is all about points accumulation

. style of play is a bonus

. possession stats worth very little.

goals stats is what we should only be interested in.
