This has rankled for a while but I have no hesitation now in congratulating UEFA for putting up such a great tournament for white spectators. The awarding of the tournament to a particularly dodgy Ukraine highlighted the racist sentiments still prevailing in this part of the world. When it comes to taking action, UEFA displays customary Blatterism to dither and dally, rather than taking affirmative action against the chanting and other unsavory acts. Due to this, the audience is a sea of white faces, and a lost opportunity for advancing the social agenda. With people like these, it is no wonder that Europe is in the mess it is today.

Goodbye Dirk
A sad day to see one of the old guard leave our midst. Dirk had been a great servant and a beacon of steadfastness among a sea of past turbulence. It has emerged that Dirk triggered an escape clause in his contract that allowed him to leave if a foreign club put in a bid. This seems to have been another blunder on the part of the previous management, allowing the sale of a key player for a paltry £1 million, 9 times less than what was paid out. Brendan Rodgers has been hamstrung before he even started.
Anyway, I wish Dirk the best and hope to meet him one day. Thank you and good luck.
