I will wait until the full public review but feel very uneasy as I get JT like vibes,,,a lip reading policeman now a complaint. about a vile comment allegedly.... from a serving policeman who must hear such things on a daily basis...doesn't make it right or acceptable but,,,,, the slippery slope as we saw with JT...agenda? Again,,I hasten to emphasise I await the full story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xceleryx Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Not the best of situations for Kerr to be in. Wanting to tread carefully given the nature of the matter, as a white Australian (albeit, with an ethnic background), I don't really find it all that offensive per se. Not going to delve into things more than that, just hope the situation can be resolved promptly for everyone's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoblyBobly Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I’m mean she could have got in trouble just calling him a stupid bastard I suppose!! Maybe he was 😀 It is odd , throwing the ‘white’ thing in there . Not sure what to make of it really. I actually thought she was white herself , but if she identifies as a “person of colour” then I suppose she’s bang to rights. I wonder what the other white players think. Tbh I doubt they are bothered . Heat of the moment, few beers inside her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also surprised with Emma Hayes and the club offering their support for Kerr. What if this was a white player calling a black police officer a "bl*ck b*stard"? How would that sit with you? I'm not going to get into politics with you, and it's disappointing but not surprising that the mods have allowed you to do politics. Again. While making a veiled personal dig. What I will say is one should look at what the conviction sought is. I can well believe a police officer was upset or offended by what was (allegedly) said, and I wouldn't defend it in terms of, idk, basic decency. But causing offence or upset is not a criminal offence (and I'd assume you'd not think it should be). I have a hard time accepting a police officer was genuinely "alarmed" or "distressed", in the legal sense that they had any reasonable fear for their safety or wellbeing, by this comment. People say shitty, including racist, things all the time. Condemnation of that, fine. Litigation at the public expense, pointless. Besides which, none of us know that she's said anything of the sort. Should I be making some sort of dig here about my expectation that you'd be among the first here crying "innocent until proven guilty" if a player you liked was accused of racially abusing a black copper?

I don't think it's especially fair for a post that makes an incorrect assumption about me and misrepresents what I said to be left up and that be the end of it, though. I didn't say anything about abuse of some people being fine and abuse of others not. I said prosecution was pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east lower Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) From what is in the public domain, it seems a bit of an over-reaction to me from the Police and CPS - A formal caution and note towards future conduct might have been the proportionate action. That's assuming she actually said what is reported as being said. Heck, I see worse behaviour towards the Police on Police Interceptors/Traffic Cops on every episode.

jasonb Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 The context here will be interesting. My understanding was she was in a taxi, it could be she thinks the police were racially stereotyping the car it would certainly not be the first time. This could get messy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Nobody should be talking politics on here, because we know how divisive it can be and this is a place for light-hearted banter and the occasional lukewarm exchange of differing views related to the beautiful (or in Chelsea's case, not so beautiful) game. Let's not make this place harder for Jane and all of us Mods to keep it running smoothly, please. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well depends who was in the car with her because , I doubt very through a car window, at night she could instantly be racially profiled. I couldn’t even tell what ethnicity she was on a football field with a million watts of floodlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Real Madrid away aside, that's the best concerted Chelsea performance I can recall for years. Absolutely brilliant. When Arsenal swatted us away earlier in the season I thought the power was shifting. I needn't have worried. Even with Kerr, Bright and Mayra injured, they battered Arsenal. Should have been 6-1 but their keeper had a worldie of a performance. 💙💙💙 Edited March 15 by Ham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDCW Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Great performance. Lauren James is already world class. She has so much time, skill and strength. Rytting-Kaneryd was excellent too. Tactically they snuffed out Arsenal. A great start to the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
