An interesting moment occured last night during the match between England and Poland. Wright-Phillips, a black player, who had worked his socks off during the game was replaced by another player who just so happened to be white. The booing from the crowd when the substitution was made was incredible. From what I could tell it was simply a reaction to the incredible commitment and hard work shown by Wright-Phillips but I couldn’t help but think that it was a missed opportunity for some of our more ‘colour sensitive’ columnists. Perhaps I am being unfair but if the substitution was the other way round and the booing just as obvious what a target rich environment that would have been.

It was a good moment. A completely colour blind crowd of people showing appreciation for a player based upon his skill and hard work and nothing else. Frankly it’s the common face of English football and only deserves a mention because of my musings about the lack of material for some.
