Wow. As someone who isnt convinced by Sangare, theres not one thing about his skin colour or his nationality that interests me any more or less than any other player. Accusations of racism when a player is judged on their ability is well, just wow.
As it goes he performed his role well last night. Donaldson though i dont ever want to see starting at prop again, though he is white so im now conflicted

Clearly you have something against Cumbrians Seth.

I wasn't accusing you of anything. I was referring to the attitude of SOME fans towards players like Sangare. Some of the things I've heard from fans around me (including yesterday) are disgusting and disgraceful. But it's been like that as long as I've been watching the team. Even Hanley copped it and he's one the greatest of all time.

I want Sangare to be a top class prop but on the evidence of last season he wasn't there. On the evidence of last night he's closing the gap. I think Seth is right in asserting that he isn't a starting prop, and personally I don't think he ever will be. That doesn't mean he can't be a very useful player and fingers crossed he will be. Racism in society (and sport) is a curse, but thankfully despite plenty of robust criticism I don't detect any of it on this forum.

If that is going on at the ground then thats disgusting and i hope its called out.
I also think Sangare was pretty decent on Friday. I think the frustration to this point is that we can all see that physically he has all the tools to be the impact player that we have been crying out for and while we have seen flashes the consistency has not been there.If he could hit the line harder and play slightly longer spells he could become a real game changer. The Goudemand signing could really help his development.In terms of the racism aspect I have personally never heard it but if its happened there should be zero tolerance and immediate expulsion followed by stadium bans.
