I see your point and this was probably in my mind when I posted my original vituperation. However, on reflection, using a race-based analogy doesn't sit right. It would have been better to comment that Barnes was wrong to imply our sacking of CH was racist, and he's wrong again to belittle our...

On reflection, you are quite right. I retract my earlier post. Barnes' comments had nothing to do with race (his, mine, anyones) and my analogy was lazy. It would have been better had I been more creative.

I was aware of the absurdity when I typed it, but it seemed a nice lazy way of making the point (which was itself about the annoying and offensive nature of lazy stereotypes in the context of the persistent belittlement of my club). Perhaps I should have put it in inverted commas. But, no, I'm...
