Doucoure used to refuse it on the grounds that a once a season gesture on TV is not genuine action against racism, and I for one respect the stance.
Not even a second yellow. That's a straight red. He's checked his leg to make flush stud contact with the knee.
Come on @andyburnham it's time to end this nonsense.
Sally Rooney's books can no longer be sold in Britain due to her support for Palestine Action.
She refused to withdraw her support for the direct action group which targeted the Israeli arms industry, costing her the royalties from all of her UK sales.

Defenders can no longer see onside attackers in their peripheral. It's very bad.
Unpopular opinion: this is good.
Offside is designed to stop goal hanging. This rule still achieves that.
Benefit of the doubt is meant to go to the attacker. This gives it to them.
It *should* result in more goals (I realise there's a case it might not). Good.
This is obviously an extreme marginal call but when someone is offside by a shoulder there's just as many complaints. Even as a defender, I like this rule.
I feel like we need a definitive name, as a society, for those people (let's be honest almost all Gen Alpha) who feel no shame at turning up to pubs and bars and sitting for hours having bought between 0 and 1 drink.
