All teams go through it.

One of the biggest things this club needs to change both on the pitch and in the stands is to man up a bit.

We have some injuries, it's annoying but get on with it.

all teams go through injuries mate, they don't go through what we go through on a regular basis. Teams will have a bad season where they all add up but we have about 12 players injured atm, it's three times as many as the other teams in the league.

Just look at how many broken legs we've suffered over the last few years, that's not something "all teams go through".
 
We should never sign another Irish player who is, or may be, an international. Killing us!
Disclaimer - I love a potato, U2 is my favorite band, and I gave both of my daughters Irish names, so no disrespect meant to the Irish people or players.

so basically don't sign another irish player? If we sign an irishman who will not be good enough to get their team they'd be an utterly horrific signing ha

That's nonsense, racism is a generic term which includes prejudice on the grounds of nationality.

No it's not,
If you believe there is more than one race in the world (instead of the one human race)
In this view Racism is implying a negativity is someone for a element of their genetics.
What you're confusing it with is cultural stereotyping, eg saying the English all wear bowler hats and suits is a cultural stereotyping, but not racist because it's not inherent in their race, or all Italians eat pizza, or the Irish eat potatoes (I'm sure Keith Lemon would of been banned by now if it was racism to say potato in an Irish accent)
Too often the racism card is played, in way of cultural or religious traits that are personal or optional.
If it was linked to Nationality what race would a white person born in a predominantly Black Country be?

No, what I am saying is that if you call someone a French/German/any nationality *expletive* then that is racist. Just because they do not have a different skin colour doesn't mean it isn't.
 
Unfortunately it looks as though Coleman has struggled to reach the heights he achieved prior to the leg break.

Another one for the January shopping list as I don’t think JJK is the answer.
