65k on a night out? That barely gets you a round in a London craft beer bar these days.

Please don't assume most people will take a clearly flippant comment (to make a point) as a more important issue than racism in football.
He clearly hasn't sat down before an interview and studied the values of what each individual offender is being charged and then worked out it is the same as his average night out. He is making a point that the values being charged for such serious offences are no......oh forget it.
Well quite.
I recently bought x4 tickets for a West End show for a family night in London next Wednesday. I've nearly done that amount already.

Danny Rose of course is right to focus on the fines and should be supported by all concerned to continue in the game. I don't for one minute think he's serious in wanting out.
He has made his point in an extremely inelegant way. He's got a valid point about racism, but for me he's moved the conversation away from that and towards financial in equality in football. What he would spend on a night out is actually a large percentage of the annual income of the Montenegro football association.
My personal view on this is that education is the only way to eradicate racism in the long term. I don't think Montenegro should be kicked out of competitions any more than I think Chelsea or Burnley should. UEFA, should be thinking along the lines of using some of their vast profits from the Champions League and sending people into schools all over Europe doing race awareness lessons. Maybe start in the Balkan countries but shamefully, it's clearly also necessary in rich western countries, like ours, as well.

Perhaps ban alcohol being sold at grounds with any sort of history of phobic problems so that 'bad sides' don't come out? And prevent already drunk people entering.
That would hit clubs/Countries financially.

That is a horrendous thread title for this story. You're just another idiotic racist, no better than them prats in Burnley or Montenegro. Thought Brighton fans were better than this

I just had that EXACT conversation. Quit now and become an ambassador or something. I actually think its quite insulting that he;s prepared to take the money and endure 6 years of something he apparently feels so strongly againsat and such an important issue, Clearly not as important as ludicrous hard cash. Money way more important than morals.

If he goes out he probably needs security, then you add in all the family and friends he pays for and the generous tips he gives and perhaps it seems more believable. It sounds a bit obscene though.

If I could, I would.
Agreed.
Whilst agreeing with the sentiment re racism, me thinks Danny could perhaps have phrased his statement in a rather different way, that would have made it sound a bit less of a 'hey, I am going to flounce, but not until I've made a further stash out of this ghastly game'.
It has taken something away from his stand, I reckon.

Again, he should give up his profession because HE is being racially abused doing his job?
Still, I don't want you to feel INSULTED now.
How about engaging brain before posting something daft like this. Try and understand what he is trying to say.

Not only is the thread title picking up on what was clearly just a throwaway remark, its also slightly twisted it.
Thread title: "Danny Rose spends £65k on a normal night out"
Actual quote: "When countries only get fined what I’d probably spend on a night out in London, what do you expect?"
Poor form.
Anyone with half a brain would pick up on the point that he is making - that in relative terms, the fines dished out by UEFA to clubs and national football associations for instances of racial abuse are absolutely pitiful. Rose is absolutely right in what he says. It shows the authorities talk the talk over the racism issue, but when it comes down to it, they're not really tackling it or taking it seriously - the "punishments" are proof of that. Having kids parade an anti-racism banner on the pitch before kickoff and putting a few billboards around the sidelines will change nothing.

Come on, I knew as soon as he said it people would jump on that and derail his point.
I made no assumption about him saying how wealthy he was and I don't think he intended to.
How bout getting back to the issue in hand.

And worryingly this thread demonstrates how some will find any way to criticise someone daring to make a comment on racism. Perhaps it's British awkwardness?
The comments that he should QUIT his profession are just mind-numbing.
Ignoring the fact Rose literally didn't even SAY he spends £65k....that has somehow become a quoted figure throughout.
Bizarre.

Someone even called in to the five live debate on this to make the same point, spectacularly missing both the bigger point about racism he was making and that he wasn’t talking literally. Words fail.
It’s a double
from me...some people are just so fecking stupid!!
