This is a racist move, it may be full of good intentions by Labour but if they started demanding white only shortlists the outcry would be heard on the moon so it is not right that a racist decision like this should be tolerated I am against all forms of racism be they discrimination against blacks or discrimination against whites both are racist to me

I agree with everything that has been said above, nothing more I can add But the whole trial is something that would even shame Mugabe's regime let alone a so called civilised country like America, all 6 have clearly been already found guilty and this will just be a show trial while they go through the motions with a nice execution in time for the elections, the fact that this is being done by a military tribunal stinks even more of kangaroo court

While I find the chinese regime vile to the extreme athletes are there to run and to throw things they are not politicians it is not their place to interfere in politics so while I detest the chinese regime it is up to politicians to criticise it not athletes

Surprised no one mentioned Allan Wells winning 100m gold Bit before my time but a white guy winning gold in what is essentially a black guy's sport is one hell of an achievement

Why does everyone rave about Beefy at Headingley ? Bob Willis getting 8 wickets in the 2nd innings of Australia and Graham Dilley's 50 backing up Beefy were as significant if not more For me it has to be Desert Orchid winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup followed by Jacques Villeneuve winning the Indy 500 from 2 laps down

The day that Saudi Arabia allows English law to be integrated, English courts, christian churches and places of worship opened in Saudi, church bells ringing over Riyadh and Mecca and so on will be the day that I would accept sharia law in the UK The Archbishop of Canterbury should be sectioned under the mental health act

Yeah that kinda thing, even if racist behaviour is less in grounds these days there is plenty going on in the pubs on match days, to make things even more offensive Adebayor's father died last year

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PGC23v4ijjQ This kinda thing

I don't for one moment condone it, knuckle dragging racism is obscene regardless of nationality but what I am against is Spain bashing by the Brit tabloids and labelling an entire nation because of the behaviour of a tiny minority of its citizens while at the same time racism being a very serious problem in this country with racist songs at football grounds, sectarian violence, as many as 15% of the country voting for the racist BNP party in elections and the vile muslim bashing by the tabloids, until we get our own house in order with regards racism it is wrong of us to judge other nations That is not connected with this incident it is in general, of course any racist behaviour towards Hamilton is disgusting

The same thing happens in this country I have been going to football grounds since 1978 and I have heard a lot worse than the examples you gave above What about the English fans that disrespect nations by chanting and singing and booing other countries national anthems in England matches ? What about the particularly but not exclusively West Ham and Chelsea fans that do gas chamber hisses in Spurs games ? What about the opposing fans that chant "shoe bomber" at the muslim footballer Mido ? who bears a slight resemblance to Richard Reid ? What about the bananas and monkey taunts aimed at John Barnes and other black players particlarly in the 80's and 90's ? What about the Adebayor chant when his father is called an elephant washer and his mum a prostitute ? What about the chants aimed at the Korean footballer Y P Lee of "DVD" in a chinese accent every time he touches the ball in games ? What about the chants about Park the korean footballer eating dogs ?? What about the multiple trophy winning football manager and pundit Ron Atkinson labelling Marcel Desailly "a lazy n*****" live on tv ? ALL those are examples of RACIST behaviour by ENGLAND fans so yes while those examples you gave did happen so us condemning Spain for racism is like Ian Huntley writing a book on childcare :manson: :manson:

Croft was not out in the grandstands he was in the commentary booth in the press centre above the pitlane, I have been in the very same press centre before for car launches and it is physically impossible for him unless he has the sonar style hearing of a sperm whale to determine now many people were chanting, its a double even triple glazed press centre packed with 200+ journalists and right above the pitlane where cars are driving in and out, not to mention the fact that there are several grandstands all over the circult with only 1 visible from the pitlane press centre, he could not determine how many were making noise he is lying through his teeth or prone to exaggerating When I said 6 I was referring to those that blackened their faces and put on t shirts saying "Hamilton family"

Total hypocricy :manson: especially from a paper that refers to French and Germans as frogs and krauts One of the chants going round football grounds atm is a chant towards the black African footballer Emanuelle Adebayor and it goes "Adebayor, Adebayor, your dad washes elephants and your mums a whore" both pandering to the crude racial stereotypes of Africans yet where are the headlines of "Adebayor in racism storm. English yobs vile attack on Togo ace" ???? Total bloody hypocricy

Exactly Phil What this small minority of loons are doing is wrong and they should be rightfully condemned for it but it is : no worse than English fans in football throwing bananas and making monkey chants no worse than England football fans singing pro protestant and anti catholic songs in games v Ireland no worse than the blatantly racist Adebayor chant at football grounds no worse than nazi salutes against Schumacher by F1 fans no worse than the hissing sound made at football matches against Spurs to imitate the noise of gas chambers and so on and so on, all those examples are committed by ENGLISH sports fans Ban F1 from Spain then football should be banned from England

Until we get our own house in order with regards racism we can't preach to other countries about racism Britain has an appalling reputation for racist behaviour particularly in football by fans but not exclusively football so until we sort out our racists we should not preach to others And one thing I find disturbing is an entire nation being tarred with the brush of a TINY minority of yobs 150,000 attended the testing session over 3 days and those ones who blackened their faces were apparently SIX yes SIX out of 150,000 so its a tiny tiny minority of Spanish people involved in this but the entire nation is getting slagged off because of the actions of maybe a dozen yobs

I don't dislike Hamilton the man himself, I have met him twice and both times he signed autographs for me and was very friendly etc have no prob with the guy himself but driving for McLaren I do cheer when he makes a mistake or retires from races so in his professional capacity I hate to see him do well

Racism is a lot more than colour though I have been at races in Britain where I have seen yards from me "fans" giving Schumacher nazi salutes and similar, to me that is racist, racism is discrimination against a particular country or race not about skin colour so why was there never any fuss in the media about British fans doing nazi salutes at Schumacher ? If there had been ku klux klan salutes at Hamilton at an overseas GP we would never hear the end of it Total hypocricy by the media although of course what has happened here with Hamilton is bang out of order

Because he is the golden boy of Ron Dennis who I hate more than any figure in world sport bar Sol Campbell Once Hamilton frees himself from Ron I would like him

While I would not use the word cry I get a lump in my throat at 3 scenes in movies 1) The "killing" of the mouse by the warden in Green Mile 2) Bruce Willis saying goodbye to his daughter over videolink in Armageddon 3) Again in Armageddon the crew all dressed in their orange space suits walking Reservoir Dogs style as a group to the shuttle While I have never like shed tears them 3 scenes came right close

Wasn't there a fallout between Beckham and Capello at Real when Capello was manager ? Something like Beckham was on the bench all the time and the President demanded of Capello that he pick him or something ?

Happens everywhere not just in Spain When I started following football I remember bananas being thrown at players and monkey chants and so on and in Italy it is really bad towards footballers and so on so racism is a global disease not just confined to Spain While I dislike Hamilton I condemn any racial abuse of anyone in sport be it Hamilton or anyone else

Beadle's Not About Despite being an Arsenal fan he raised millions for charity for cancer so that makes him a good guy for me even if I hated his shows RIP

Thats the kinda f***ed up $h!t that is making this country go to the dogs at a fukkin rate of knots, they are probably the same ignorant f***wits that attacked homes of paedeatricians :manson: not a fukkin brain cell between them The one 150 yards away is probably TOTALLY innocent, she can join the elusive club as listed down below Since Carr's release there has been much speculation throughout the UK regarding her whereabouts, often leading to people being wrongly identified as Maxine Carr: In August 2004, Irene Lyttle, an East Kilbride woman, had to be escorted from her home by police and housing officials after death threats were posted on the internet and a mob of vigilantes gathered outside her house.[10] In October 2004, Candice Peberdy and her family from Blaby, Leicestershire were "under siege" for a week from a gang of 25 people who threatened to firebomb their house.[11] In April 2005 Diane Carraro, a South African student on a working holiday in Cheadle, Staffordshire had to go into hiding after being targeted by gangs who threw things at her house, screamed at her in the street, and placed posters of her picture around the town.[12] In March 2006 a woman on the Isle of Wight was mistaken for Carr and subjected to intimidation and abuse, leading local MP Andrew Turner to ask police to end several months of speculation. The police said they could neither confirm nor deny the rumours, due to the Association of Chief Police Officers advising against any statements regarding Carr's location. The local council even put up a sign stating "Please note that Maxine Carr is NOT working at Ryde Library, or any other library on the Isle of Wight."[13] In August 2006 Karen Meek of Coleraine, Northern Ireland, received threats and her husband's van was damaged by people believing her to be Carr. MP Gregory Campbell appealed for her to be left alone.[14] Also in August 2006 Suzette Kapp, a South African woman living in Bonnyrigg, Scotland was incorrectly identified as Carr on local websites with police receiving calls claiming the same.[15] In January 2007 Falmouth police in Cornwall issued a statement denying that Carr was living in the Penryn area after rumours reached "fever pitch", including posters being put up and local police being inundated with calls.[16] All innocent women targeted by thick as pig $h!t inbreds who thought there was a slight physical resemblance to Maxine Carr Pathetic isn't the word :manson:

She wasn't there, she was in Grimsby hundreds of miles from Soham Huntley killed the girls alone and disposed of them alone, she lied to the police about his whereabouts at the time of the murders, stupid and irresponsible yes but all the signs are that it was done out of FEAR, people can do things totally out of character when $h!t scared James and Huntley had a history of domestic violence so Maxine Carr feeling scared acted out of character and did what she did. I don't condone what she did and she was rightly punished for it but I can understand why she did it, fear of Huntley and his violent history in relationships, fear of being alone without the guy she loved

Same could be said for any mum though, Carr and the kid will never be let out of police sight I think a kid would be safer being bought up by Maxine Carr than being bought up by some of the chav scum parents we see about these days
