The number of instances I know of compared to the proportion of black to white players. It is certainly disproportionate in the wider community. A good friend of mine lives and used to teach in the Tottenham and Enfield area and experiences far more homophobia from young black males than any...

My point originally was the paradox between the fight against racism, for which black players have rightly been the beneficiaries, and what I still contend is a disproportionate level of blatant homophobia in the game from some black players.

As you say, it's not just an Islamic issue in the black community. Some elements of Rastafarianism are also extremely homophobic (not to mention anti Semitic as well). I really don't have an agenda, just think this needs to be openly discussed if we are to try and send a clear message that all...

I was there. Tried to blot it out since, rubbish day.

I was making the point about the disproportionate nature as it seems to me (I can't recall any recent examples of non-black players behaving in this way - correct me if I'm wrong), and the cultural link with some black cultures. Of course there is a huge amount of homophobia in some white...

Interesting that so much has been done in football to try and rid the game of racism, yet amongst players there seems to be a disproportionate amount of homophobia/homophobic abuse by black players; recently Diouf and Kazim Richards at games, less recently Leon Knight's internet rants. I know...

Fantastic, well done lads. Amazing support too.

Uuuuuulllllllloooooooaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonkers game

We were all over them so the ref's evened it up by reducing them to 10 men.

Nice round of "One Tony Grealish" there.

Good to see lots of shouts for British Sea Power, a magnificent return to form. Another vote for Low here, beautiful.
