  • A little disappointed by the public reaction of (former) senior figures in English football

    to Sol Campbell's claims about the England captaincy. It's a really complex, nuanced subject and coming out on the defensive like Graham Taylor and Mark Palios have is, although understandable on a personal level, a pretty good demonstration of the FA's and any authority's inability to reflect on itself.

    I've no doubt that Campbell quite honestly wasn't deemed captain material compared to other senior England players of his time and that his remarks have a cynical element to them, but the healthy thing would be to at least explore why so few black players have positions of public authority regardless of how legitimate Campbell's specific claims are, rather than to get arsey.

    • Agreed

      Campbell's claims have an element of farce to them (When I read his "The FA wished I was white" my first thought was "citation needed") but we have a high profile black player talking about his experiences of the ingrained racism in the game, and it merits proper discussion. Like you say not just in the choice of captains, but number of black coaches etc.

      I think there has been a trend recently in English football to think racism is somehow over - like we've got Kick It Out and things aren't as bad like Jonny Foreigner in Russia/Spain/etc. But just because people aren't throwing bananas doesn't mean that everything is amazing. For instance, something I notice a lot - when at a game was the last time you heard a member of the crowd call a white player "lazy"?

          they just seemed like headline baiting from someone who has a book to sell (and his comment about black players not being respected was very wide of the mark to me), but if it starts discussion about ingrained racism within the footballing set-up then it can only be positive i guess.

          Jordan_229_2 @Jordan_229_2 | 4 Mar '14, 10:27 | X
      • Indeed.

        His point that `he didn't look like an England captain`, or words to that effect, transcends FA decision making and into the realm of racial glass-ceilings etc. which is a wider national problem.

        ohgood this'd this
      • The lazy thing- jfc yeah.

        Don't get me wrong- my instinct is that Campbell very self important, and that there are a myriad of reasons to do with his own personal suitability for captaincy (being captain of Spurs and leaving them for Arsenal- a good indicator that you're a dubious captain) and the players ahead of him in the pecking order that are more likely factors in him being overlooked for the role. BUT it's still not right for me to completely dismiss what he says about his experiences, and it's even more damaging for someone with actual authority to do so.

        Was there some round table conspiracy to keep Campebell away from the armband because of the colour of his skin? That's a real stretch- I doubt anyone 'wished he was white'. But is it likely that the colour of his skin played some barely perceptible, subconscious role in how he was perceived by coaches, managers, team mates and authority figures? Almost definitely.

        DanielKelly @LordLuciusBanter | 4 Mar '14, 11:20 | X
        • the problem is his wording

          has a whiff of sub-collymore 'I would've been captain for 10 years - FACT.'

        • think it's similar to the Evra/Suarez thing

          you can't take away Evra's right to feel affronted by it, if it's something he's clearly experienced and felt, even though Suarez and his many defenders were like "but he didn't meant it like that"

          Severed799 @DanielKelly | 4 Mar '14, 11:33 | X
          • I'm sure the DiS football thread regulars have desperately missed my musings

            on racism and football, but I don't think there's much comparison. In fact, Campbell's claims and the Suarez/Terry incidents are more interesting to me in how different they are. We (as a fanbase, as a country, as a culture etc) are very quick to jump on incidents of racial abuse - not that there is anything wrong with that - where we can pin a crime on someone 'other' to ourselves. That's comfortable. But we're very bad at reflecting on ourselves, and how our ostensibly normal, not-at-all abusive behaviours and practices might be very damaging.

            A lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack, but based on what we know the safest position is that overt racist abuse (although hugely problematic in any quantity) is not a rife, endemic problem among footballers and fans. By the same token, the invisibility of black people in positions of authority within football makes the safest position on that issue one where racism clearly is a big, everyday problem.

            Which of the two gets the public more upset?

            DanielKelly @Severed799 | 4 Mar '14, 11:44 | X
            • Pretty similar to how DD gets

            • I also wonder if those incidents had happened

              In games that aren't between local rivals, warping the discussion around it.

              • also of course you're right

                We're all screaming ourself hoarse at Terry shouting racist; few weeks later a QPR blogger posted a load of screengrabs of QPR fans on twitter bragging about doing the gas noise thing at spurs *smh*

          • Don't think it's at all similar myself.

            Suarez consciously abused Evra on account of his race.

            This relates to a more subtle episode where people's decision making, it could be argued, could be influenced subconciously by forms of racism which have an infiltrative cultural permeance.

            So, yeah, think they're separate myself.

            GetOffMyLawn @Severed799 | 4 Mar '14, 11:46 | X
          • I know it's not you saying that

            But the Evra/Suarez things still winds me up as people seem to act like Suarez just said one word to him with no other context

            From the FA report

            "Why did you kick me?"

            "Because you are black"

            "Say it to me again, I'm going to punch you"

            "I don't speak to blacks"

            "OK, you kicked me, I'm going to kick you"

            "OK, blackie, blackie, blackie"

            Pretty fucking irrelevant what word he used to mean black

            • pretty sure that's what Evra says Suarez had said to him,

              whereas Suarez' take was that he'd said "it was just a normal foul" after the "why did you kick me?" bit.

              icehockeyhair @LordLuciusBanter | 4 Mar '14, 14:55 | X
              • Given Evra's version was consistent throughout

                And Suarez's version of events was dismissed by the FA as he changed his story 3 times, I'll err on the side of caution and believe Evra

        • I think the barely perceptible, subconscious thing I key

          I think I agree with what the chairman of KIO said, that by doing this in a book makes it easy for those who don't want to engage with such issues to dismiss it as cynical; and the secondly by making it about him personally (and into some crypto anti-Campbell conspiracy) it a) creates a knee jerk reaction from those who coached him who feel like they specifically are being accused of being racist and b) relegates the issue of more ingrained, subtle racism to the back of the debate in a flood of sensationalist bullshit headlines

      • Oh there's definitely racism which informs opinions

        It's just not as overtly said anymore.
        There are stereotypes which are still widely held - including inside the clubs, I've spoken to a few coaches who work at clubs and they still are fairly old fashioned when it comes to their views. You wouldn't say they're racist - just it definitely informs their attitudes more than it should.

        Problem is, I don't think what Campbell has said will help, as it will be brushed off as the slightly mad ravings of someone who has always been considered somewhat strange within the football community.

        • sub thought

          a lot of the black players coming through are strikers, wingers, full backs. Again perhaps evidence of unconscious racial profiling?

          • to an extent that might just be a young player thing

            you don't really want to give a 19 year old the responsibility of being a centre midfielder or centre back. don't have to be as regimented, have a bit more expressive freedom & have a safety net inside them to an extent on the wings. i imagine as they get older smalling and oxlade will move in, possibly others aswell

            aggressively_passive @LordLuciusBanter | 4 Mar '14, 13:10 | X
          • Sort of

            But strikers, wingers and full backs make up over 50% of the average football team so I don't know where I'm going with this sorry.

            Royter-Hatfood @LordLuciusBanter | 4 Mar '14, 13:12 | X
          • strikers, wingers and full-backs come through at a younger age

            so it might be more noticable.

      • don't wanna agree with sol campbell ever

        but 'they' would definitely pick wilshere over oxlade chamberlain

        harru @aggressively_passive | 4 Mar '14, 12:26 | X
        • that would be mental

          could kind of see it though. making wilshere captain would be the same as making rooney captain. take someone who already gets hotheaded and out-of-position by trying to put the team on their shoulders, then give them more pressure and responsibility. madness

            Ox has barely held down a starting role in the Arsenal team as of yet

            • What's interesting is that I don't see him as captaincy material

              but that I can't quite put my finger on why...just a gut feeling (of racism).

        Jordan_229_2 @ElthamsmateOwen | 4 Mar '14, 12:45 | X
        • Yeah

          still don't know which way he could end up going.

          Mainly mention him as he is a defender and has as such, probably got a longer career ahead as well as the fact that they prefer defenders as captains, and despite it all he is having a decent season at Villa.

    • see to the unitiated, that looks like it means 100k a year

      which is a lot anyway, but I know you mean a week, which is just unfathomable.

      Like what could you even do with that much money really

  • according to Francis Jeffers' Wikipedia page

    he "struggled to cope with the Australian diet".
    Do we want to make a joke about that? Probably not, right? It can be hard to adjust to a different country. Sorry I brought it up.

    • If you can tie it in to his well-documented and unsuccessful spell at Arsenal

      AND throw in something about when Spurs lost the 4th Place Trophy to Arsenal because of food poisoning then...I don't know. Something will definitely happen though.

      • Also definitely going to need a "fox in the box" mention

        and, ideally, a "call that a knife..." one too.

        Good luck ohgood, we're all thinking of you.
