WHILE the rest of the media focused on Gareth Southgate’s comments regarding his England under-21 side being abused online, I was more interested in something he said regarding the people in the room.

He was being asked about the Daily Mail’s story about the racial divide in the U-20 squad and of course Southgate was going to say there was no problem.

That the pictures were just taken at a bad time and that it wasn’t a reflection of society.
