"No! he has a History of losing the plot" well it is a plot he at least has some personal experience with, where as yours is ? I hope you dont dismiss everyone so readily just because at some point in life they have been diagnosed with a mental health problem, or as you put it "loosing the plot" ? | |||

"personally I think such accusations especially when they seem unfounded can be damaging in the fight to remove racism from sport. great steps have been taken in the right direction and using race to sell books or to make petty arguments undermines these efforts. did graham Taylor not make paul ince captain ? and I'm sure he was black !!

Yes i have been diagnosed with a mental health problem and know very well about losing..or as you put it "loosing" the plot but my point was that Sol Campbell has a history of playing the colour card and now he is trying to sell a book by insulting his peers (Managers) | |||

"What springs too mind for me is that people in glass house's shouldnt throw stones so my point is dont judge people if he's doing it just for the dough so what? Do you really think racism doesn't exist in the higher echelons football? I suppose there's no homophobia either!!" so its alright to shout from the rooftops, unfounded accusations to make a bit more money, for a guy thats already loaded? my word, i thought i had read some rubbish in my time, but that really does show why the fight against racism has taken so bloody long, and indeed, may well never end. | |||

"point 1: while he was making his point about the england captaincy being decided by race, a pic was flashed up of him stood behind the england skipper at the time, one paul ince......there is his argument lost right there lol if the FA were institutionally racist, why have we just celebrated ahsley cole getting over 100 caps? why did Sol himself play not far away from 100 games (nearly 80 iirc) i listened to an interview on 5live last night and, im afraid, he came across as conceited, delusional about his own abilities (branding himself 1 of the best defenders in the world in his day) and arrogant. i would suggest he wasnt made captain of England because of these reasons, nothing to do with colour. what does our very own Fabio say? those that have been wronged always blame something they cannot change, as it then leaves them blameless..... " I heard that interview and couldn't believe how arrogant he was. He said that for a period of six years he had been the best centre back in the world!! Big headed doesn't cover it! He was good, but not THAT good. The best CBs tend to be Italian in my view. And Martin Keown, who must have played with Campbell a huge amount of times said he wasn't the best communicator on the field so how could he be captain. Maybe first name on the teamsheet but no more. He's just trying to sell his book and, unfortunately, in the process has damaged the campaign to get racism out of footie by making cheap, false allegations | |||

"Thats his opinion though isnt it? And he is voicing his as your are your's? " opinion is good, however, when he is trading it as fact, then its not so, and thats what he is saying. he isnt and hasnt said 'i think/believe i wasnt captain more because i am black' he said 'i DIDNT captain England more because im black'. ay be semantics but there ya go | |||

" similar impression from listening too, he's aiming the canon at the wrong target its not the FA who pick the skipper its the manager.. he has raised this now with no foundation apart from his own opinion, ego and desire to sell more books.. | |||

Do you really think racism doesn't exist in the higher echelons football? I suppose there's no homophobia either!!" do you think with this accusation he potentailly has done anything positive to improve the racism in the game at any level..? problem is when anyone cries wolf about whatever then that imho diminishes the actual issue for those fighting to right that issue.. | |||

" No. He is talking shit, I actually know a few 'ballers and most can't believe he even said it. But Sol Campbell suffers from depression, that's what they didn't mention in that story. That being said, autobiographies are supposed to be controversial for £££££ | |||

"His book is already written......Therefore the quotes being broadcast and sensationalised are by the media/publishers from the book etc Why are they not getting stick?" Because he supposedly wrote the book and definitely gave the interviews himself and not the Media/Publishers | |||

"Thats the same Sol that was suing Portsmouth for milliins of unpaid wageswhen they were on the brink of financial collapse. Never fully in touch with reality. " Is that his fault? That's on the owners of the clubs. You hire me to do a job, I'd want paying too. I don't doubt there's some element of racism in the corridors of power but he's neglecting to say who his competition was for a lot of the time, Beckham for a good chunk of it, only one winner there. | |||

"While Sol Campbell has no arguement on this issue, there are issues (including racism) that football is still dealing with. His comments are damaging and not because they have no substance, but because by turning a blind eye to this issue, they turn a blind eye to others. Own goal or what?! " Football latest: Own goal 7-0 Captain material | |||

How ?" just by pure ability. he was a favourite of the managers at the time, never put a foot wrong when played, and was fantastic next to terry or ferdinand, and if fitness hadnt got in the way, would have been picked over one or the other of them (probably terry) | |||
