So you are direct and honest in every comment, but will not answer a yes-no question for reasons you won't explain. Without a search I seem to remember that the previous coded answers were something like 'I don't support Brighton, but am interested in commenting about them. I know more than...

You'll excuse me for removing the deflection and whataboutism from your post that selectively quoted what I asked of you, without in any way addressing the point that I'm sure you know I was raising. It hasn't left much. Let's try this one last time. Two simple questions 1) Do you support...

Do with have? Did you mean to say can you have? I'll have to make the (biased?) assumption that you did. The first step towards action to avoid discrimination seems to be to understand and challenge your own biases, conscious and unconscious and the impact they may have on others. Here we...

I know that this is also old ground, but it is obviously easier for you to be emotionally detached from the ups and downs because you don't actually support Brighton, don't go to games, as far as I'm aware have no connection with Sussex, don't live in England and have consistently refused to say...

I don't share your suspicions. The timing suggests that the Twitter contact was sparked by this thread. The first message to John Barnes was a few hours after this thread was started and it copy and pasted his quote from last year. Barnes's are the first comments in the OP and he seems a more...

I don't think it's fair to portray John Barnes as 'wading in'. If I follow the timeline correctly, he was one of many pundits who gave his opinion at the time and someone has contacted him a year later on Twitter to say that he should admit he was wrong. He has simply taken the stance that he...

Thanks for reconsidering. It takes guts for any of us to give pause and review not only our intent, but also the unintentional impacts of what we write in a social media environment. I hope that I will be capable of the same humility when I next write in anger (Probably below the line on the...

To be honest Harry, yes it would. Had you been arguing with points made by Robbie Savage, or Jamie Redknapp, you wouldn't have considered making an analogy about race. It was unnecessary to do so to make your point about John Barnes' belittling of BHAFC. People raising race in a conversation...

I think that you may want to remove that Harry. I understand your point that some pundit's view that historically smaller teams should know their place should be challenged, but John Barnes has not at any point brought race into his argument. There is no reason for anyone to. It muddies the...

You've hit the nail on the head there. John Barnes is defending a perfectly reasonable view that, in getting us to 17th and a cup semi final, Chris would have every right to be shocked and surprised at getting his cards. Before the sacking, there were threads on here saying that his time...

To understand the reaction of the ex pro pundit community to Chris's sacking you have to consider a number of their motivations. The first is that, for the large majority of his tenure, Chris Hughton did do an excellent job as Brighton manager. Given the facts about his full term as Brighton...
