7-2 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I've seen black coaches saying they don't want the ridiculous Rooney rule brought in as they don't wont to be seen as tokens. Still, the white precious people know what's best for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The Rooney rule just smacks of a corporate initiative that is represents 'tackling' the issue without actually getting to the root causes of inequality in society. It angers me that these claims are thrown out without much to substantiate it. I'm sorry but if you sat down with a 16 year old who was unemployed and they said to you i sent applications to 10 companies and I didn't get an interview therefore the world was against them, you would tell them to f**k off and man up and learn to live in the real world.

welshbairn Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Just going by the way he was talking there must have been a falling out, he denied it obviously, but why else would he leave ICT when they were on such a high? Can you imagine what it would be like turning up for work every morning knowing you'll be spending the whole day with Yogi? P.S. Probably had to sit with him on all the interminable coach trips on the A9 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The bigger problem is the old boys culture that people have already touched on. It exists in management, in players groups and in the media. It doesn't really include black coaches because the coaches network is based on who was playing in Scotland about 20 years ago and there weren't many black players then.

Greenlantern Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I didn't say anything about apologising. Is there something to apologise for? Erm...no, not from me. You were talking about sweeping things under the carpet with my 'dreadful attempts at humour'. Am I supposed to be remorseful or feel guilty for the actions of others? I'm still unsure what this says about the type of person I am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 You rarely see any black croquet players, chairmen of golf clubs or Masonic Grand Masters. I assume they're just not genetically designed for the roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 That's clearly not the case down south tho'. I can't recall the exact figures but it was somewhere in the teens, like 18% or thereabouts, of people doing their UEFA licences through the FA were minorities. So, taking away the argument the lack of visible black managers means less black players move into coaching, why is that amount of people taking the courses transferred to the amount of qualified coaches getting management positions? Briane Deane's done all his badges and been a great success in Sweden but came out and said he's not even getting replies from National League level clubs. As I said it's not about chairmen or directors actually thinking black coaches will fail due to their colour of their skin but there are clear hurdles involved for them. Is it football or athletics we are talking about here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The reason Latapy and Harper don't get the jobs is because there are better candidates. Same as any black player that has played in Scotland in the last 20 years. I can't think of one that I've thought "he'd make a great manager". Can anyone on here think of one you'd want managing your club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a much better excuse than saying it's cause he's black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't think of any black ex players who've played in the Scottish game lately that I'd have in front of Tommy, that's not racism.

I wasn't suggesting Latapy should replace Tommy, merely that he'd be worth a punt somewhere - might actually get some team playing some sexy football.

How many of the old boys are managing in the current top flight or championship just now? It's all kind of new inexperienced guys or managers who finished their careers early naughties at most.

OFFS DUNDEE!! Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I for one would take a black disabled female as manager of us if she could take us forward and win something. If not she could go and f**k herself..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
