Good morning and a very warm welcome to the football show here on Sky Sports. Two hours of football chat coming your way. You can get involved using the hashtag Sky Football. Plenty of opinion coming your way. We're going to speak to Chairman Matt Pallios, West Brom Sporting Director Luke Dowling. We're going to hear from Lucas Moura and some of our very own in the shape of Alan McAnally and Paul Merson. And two of our very own are joining me from the very start this morning. It's Keith Andrews and Don Goodman. Gentlemen, welcome along to the show. Right, a bit of housekeeping. Don, how are we? How's everything in the Midlands?
Wet at the moment, Pruts, to be fair. But no, in general, looking forward to the safe return of football. And the thing that made it for me really was about three weeks ago, they opened the golf courses up. So I've had a smile on my face since then, Pruts.
There you go. Every cloud and all that. Keith, I'm sure you're on board with the golfing chat. Have you been out and about making the most of the fresh air? A couple of rounds, David, which has been very nice indeed. Getting our weather has been decent in the main, obviously. So, yeah, it's been lovely getting back to some kind of normality. some kind of normality, how we're all looking forward to that. Now, Donna, I just want to touch base on something with you. Very much in the news, the Black Lives Matter movement, we've seen huge protests across the world off the back of George Floyd, the incident with him over in America, the tragedy that occurred over there. And now I'm not asking you with any...
kind of hint of agenda or any form of tokenism you're a friend of mine we've spent many a time in each other's company and we've heard black footballers speak out daily ali trent alexander arnold have kind of voiced their support in the last 24 hours just how important is it people players of that stature the old adage was stick to you stick to football stick to your sport don't get involved just how important is it that young men like that are getting involved
Yeah, I mean, I think it's really, really important. It just keeps happening, doesn't it?
How is the return of League One being discussed by Mark Palios?
I think that's the problem, isn't it? Because, you know, it happens, we threaten to do something about it, we threaten to keep it in the public domain, and then slowly but surely it just disappears until there's another tragic incident. And unfortunately, the loss of George Floyd is just... Shocker, really. And because we've seen the footage of it, I think it's sickened literally everybody. And you hope now and you pray that people can come together and do something about the problems. And it's a social problem. It's not a football problem. But the footballers that you've mentioned clearly have a large audience, a big social media presence, a voice in the public domain. And it is important that people in the public eye understand
Keep the problem in the public eye until we can get together and try and move forward and find some solutions to this.
Now, I'm not betraying any trust in between myself and Don. Just a little story for you at home. talking about this and myself and don coming from different backgrounds but being in a position socially where something occurred remember don and like i said i'm not going to go into too much detail about a comment that was passed and i sat there jaw on the floor say as if to say i can't believe that's come out of that person's mouth you being a man uh of with the greatest respect your age your experience took it on the chin dealt with it very calmly dealt with it very well indeed um that essence of a generation saying well that's what happened and we just had to get on with it it feels now across the board even though like you said it's been said before that that isn't the case these things can't happen it can't just be shrugged off it can't just be taken on the chin and dealt with maturely by someone like yourself the education re-education has got to be there hasn't it
Yeah, absolutely, because the problem is ignorance, you know, pure and simple ignorance in society.
