In light of the racist-motivted scuffles in Lyon last night, in light of the racist-motivated attack in Rome before, I'd like to ask where Peter Herbert of the SBL is right now?
Having chosen to put Tottenham Hotspur at the forefront of his anti-semetic campaign by accusing the club of being soft on anti-semitism, and advocating action against supporters chanting 'yid army' and the like, Herbert has seemingly succeeded only in making sure that we are a wonderful, big, fat target for anti-semites/racists abroad. I don't remember anything of this nature during the CL, or previous EL campaigns pre-Herbert, and on the few times I've seen us in Europe there's been nothing of the sort.
So I can only conclude that thanks to Peter Herbert's very public campaign, Spurs have become a bigger target for racist attacks. Yet it appears that the previously very vocal Mr. Herbert has lost his tongue.
If Peter Herbert is heartfelt and serious, he will address these attacks and comment. If, however, Peter Herbert is an agenda-filled brick-stirrer who wanders away from messes created, as it could appear, then I would suggest we can expect him to be silent.
I would LOVE Peter Herbert to show his true colours and come out swinging with regards to these attacks, to prove to me and perhaps everyone who knows of his previous 'work' that he is (indeed) heartfelt with his concerns...I'm waiting with interest to see what happens in the coming days...thoughts?
