compo 5,952 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I have been watching this once proud club in the past few months being attacked from all sides because of accusations of racism they have lost all manner of sponsorship money ,. Simple solution get back to playing only men born within the historical Yorkshire boundaries no one of Asian or black decent and the white rose county will do what they do best play cricket and us they're best in world . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,009 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 The media will be targeting Sir Geoffrey to trap him into saying something indiscreet. Let’s hope he keeps his mouth shut. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,693 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 The ECB bullying Roger Hutton into resignation by threatening to destroy Yorkshire CCC might be the worst thing I’ve seen in many a year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,190 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I thought Ollie Robinson's ban for historic tweets was absolutely ridiculous. This is different, though. It's really quite disgusting behaviour. I mean, 'urinating' on an Asian player's head? You cannot sweep that aside as banter, as this club is trying to do. Unless I'm missing something? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having grown up in the Borders, I know rugby bummers are keen on that type of activity. Weirdos. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forlanssister 3,048 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm sure all those horrified by the "Paki" stuff will be just as quick and vociferous to condemn tge self confessed antisemite, no? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,355 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm interested in the dog called Kevin accusation. One wonders when thick skins will become de rigueur again, if ever - I mean, we've all said regrettable things. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,693 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 The whole thing feels like a crock of shit, a settling of personal scores and blatant exploitation of the race-derangement sweeping society. How could accusations like those I've heard in formal testimonies these last couple of days have gone completely unchallenged and largely unverified by a compliant media that has transformed claim into truth without either scrutiny or objectivity. Personally, I'm 100% being Michael Vaughan, who has been treated dreadfully. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Ritterhouse case in the US with CNN, NYP, WP, NBC etc etc transforming claim into truth without any basis in fact or scrutiny of the facts. Any jury in the world would find him not guilty based on the truth that came out in court. The Media is shameless and sneaky, just like it has always been. It's just not cricket 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
