Then I will begin, saw this elsewhere and not sure if it’s horse shit or not but apparently the England women’s football team are on fire right now and playing thier best ever football however a bbc pundit was why the team on the pitch are all white, Caucasian not kit colour, now I know this could be steaming piles of social media horse manure however there is alarming evidence that the bbc is also a steaming pile of horse manure too, I realise I could of shortened this post quite considerably however I have stayed out of the sun and therefore drank too many ciders, so long story short, is the bbc wrong for letting her say this if indeed she did say it…..

I think it was that all 5 substitutes were white. Not the full team. Although I’m not 100% on this.

Not all that North of North London

I think the comment was that the starting 11 and all reserves were white and that showed a worrying lack of diversity.

And I'm not sure what is controversial about that?

If all of those players are the best English players in their positions and the subs the second best then race should not be an issue.

Count Your Blessings Cottage, Gratitude Grove

This was a few days ago, a commentator talking bollocks and needlessly throwing the diversity card around

So long as the best players are picked for the game it shouldn’t matter what colour / race / ethnicity / sexuality etc that they are

I know nothing about football but that is an awful lack of diversity within the women's team...whatever the reason maybe.
