Statement from the Kick It Out campaign regarding Sir Radcliffe facing no major consequences over his recent colonisation immigrants comments: "Kick It Out is disappointed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not been given a stronger sanction for bringing the game into disrepute.

When speaking in any capacity, he is still a representative and co-owner of Manchester United, which has a global following. Unprompted, he brought the club into a TV interview where he was inaccurate with the facts and divisive with his language

At a time when various forces are seeking to divide society, football must stand united. We urge those in leadership positions to be mindful of the responsibility they carry."

Frankly if I was Kick It Out I would be extremely urinated off as I made reference in the second link, this was the first time ever in history that the FA/FAA could have really stood by these campaigns/programs and delivered a strong message that regardless of position in life, if you are clearly breaking rules and including campaigns for diversity, equal and inclusion then we will not tolerate this but let's be honest instead of standing up for their campaigns, they basically bent them over and made sweet sweet love to them.

So where do these campaigns/programs go from here? Because I mean and I am not dramatise it here, but it has been less than 24 hours since all of this went down and the repercussions of everything are already beginning to show.

Because on social media we are now seeing people saying it is good that he didn't face any repercussions or something to that effect or using the old chestnut of freedom of speech, there is a difference between a freedom of speech and being a co-owner of a football/soccer team which has a history, a president and a future employing such as football players from different countries and so on, so if he wants to share his freedom of speech do the right thing and leave Manchester United today, not tomorrow, not 2 weeks, not 2 years not 15 years I mean today. If you have real convictions on what you say Radcliffe leave Manchester United and go and join Reform UK and be Nigel Farage's little female doggie, Oh I have just remembered they may not take you because you yourself are a self-imposed immigrant of France, but Radcliffe people like you disgust me; simply based on the facts that you want all the positives of immigration be it the best players for an example or/and the tax breaks, yet you have the audacity to blame immigration what for? It really doesn't concern you, if anything you are either making money off the bat of immigrants or/and using immigrant status to save money.... so your opinion/opinions mean absolutely manure.

So I don't know where these campaigns/programs go from here? Because I know football... and that basically means from now on there will be in a certain section of our football community using this whole Radcliffe situation as a benchmark for what is acceptable; meaning if a football fan uses a racial slur they now have an excellent defence on why they shouldn't face any repercussions or being arrested based on the grounds of I just insulted one person Radcliffe insulted a good proportion of the UK and not only was he not arrested, he faced no major repercussions, so by definition I should be okay to not only not be banned from the stadium but also not arrested for racially insulting that player, so I have some major problems with things being rammed down my throat, but at the same time I do understand little of why campaigns/programs are here, but now they face a massive uphill struggle to be taken seriously after this... so well done FA/FAA [and for those people that can't read or pick up subtext I am being sarcastic.]

Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content is not for anyone under being of 18 as there will be censored adult language references including but not limited to racism.

This is absolutely horse manure!: As it was told yesterday that the FA that Sir Jim Radcliffe will not face any further action over his recent references to the UK being colonised by immigrants on Sky News on 11/02/2026, but has been reminded by the FAA: of his responsibilities as it relates to taking part in interviews, so essentially at best it gets a verbal warning and at worst he gets away with it.

So can someone tell me what the fudge are we doing here? Seriously? All of this campaigning in one way or another for kick racism out, take the knee or inclusivity this or that... I mean the uncomfortable truth is for the first time ever for anyone to show some real change it still comes down to one thing and one thing only; one rule for us and one rule for them, I mean I am old enough and jaded enough to know this is the reality of life, so am I surprised? Am I hollocks.

So what I would recommend is stop funding these idealistic campaigns/programs and even though this is my content, I am not actually saying these things, I'm saying it from the perspective of; the FA/FAA have choked big time and it can be only seen on the same level as Arsenal trying to somehow either get over the line or somehow handing the Premiership title to Manchester City this season; but on a serious note; what I would have liked to see is Radcliffe get a 10 year ban from visiting any premiership club for a league match. Then I could say okay anyone from any walk of life, it is clear that football; in the world of football; they don't want this horse manure anymore; so fair play good result and good on the hierarchy of football for standing by their convictions.

But back in reality; I hope the hierarchy of any football nation including the FA/the FAA is coming to the realisation that based on this result; it makes any future disciplinary action virtually impossible; based on the fact you have now set a president.

Allow me to show you what I mean; so we have a player allegedly using racist language towards another player; based on your standard set I don't see a problem with this, because if Radcliffe can say roughly we have been colonised by immigrants [which has the potential to offend millions upon millions of people] and not seeing any genuine repercussions for this, then there should be no problem with one player using allegedly a racist word as it one or more players.

I mean I can even go one more step and say whatever good the campaigning all programs did, that Liverpool fan in a wheelchair that got arrested for racist language towards Antoine Semenyo; should have never been arrested and furthermore should now be able to return to Anfield without any problems as it was just one-on-one; so can't you see this outcome of Radcliffe is heavily damaging to these campaigns/programs and now completely undermines them entirely And since I have been dictating this content, and now experiencing one of the biggest problems with Redcliffe's comments it has now galvanised those individuals of strong racist views to express them as over the last day and a half and yet Redcliffe is to no real consequences what a complete fudgin' joke: so I have one last thing to say... Come on Tottenham, You can take a point or points off the Arsenal!

Just a roundabout 7 days until retirement; what could go wrong?: Sergeant Roger Murtaugh [Danny Glover:] he is planning to retire within about a week's time and Sergeant Martin Riggs [ Mel Gibson:] is ever so slightly I would say nudging him to possibly reconsider with comments like something to the effect of; you go to miss all of this?: But don't worry we just have enough time for one more case.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script has everything that its fans would have come to expect from this franchise, but including the gutsy move to include youth gun violence and in hindsight that is the only disappointing thing about this film; which it is nothing against this film, but you will get my point; that this film was released in 1992 and when this content is first being created it is now 2026 and the USA still has gun issues. The framework and pacing of this 118 minutes film is incredibly well structured as everything mean something with a minimum consistent pacing with the option to go up and down throughout the gear when it is time to do so with this very natural increase and decrease in pacing; it has a very natural flow to proceedings.

Action and comedy; so yes our favourite Sergeants at this point anyway may have got older, but it is good to see that much hasn't changed as they tried to refuse a bomb, even though the bomb squad is on the way Riggs basically indicates; we can do this... but without giving too much away at least they saved this young cat, consequently sometime later they get to have some fun with this jaywalker and Sergeant Riggs gets to make another new four-legged friend

Character developments and performances; the character developments are multilayered as we have retirement, youth and gun violence, a reversal Sergeants Murtaugh obviously and clearly going through something that no one should ever go through, but he had no choice. But he has Sargent Riggs trying to be there for him as he and his family was for him way back when and newcomer in the form of Rene Russo as Lorna Cole: she is from Internal Affairs, that to begin with comes can't disclose, but eventually she works with Sergeants Murtaugh and Riggs; she perfectly slots in and as you will see she is more than capable to hang with Sergeants Murtaugh and Riggs; amongst the established returning characters and cast; so on average the performances are excellent, especially from Danny Glover and Mel Gibson.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; for still at this time in history including youth gun violence, remained fresh, doing the role reversal thing and moving things on, whilst also maintaining their assets of this franchise, this is why this instalment has the mark it does; we also have an extra bit, somewhere around the closing credits something comes over the police radio and off they go again; this is voice only. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; such as 3 Winners which include but not limited to MTV Movie + TV Awards 1993 MTV Movie Award Best On-Screen Duo Mel Gibson Danny Glover. 4 Nominees which also include but not limited to from the same award ceremony/event  MTV Movie Award Best Kiss Mel Gibson Rene Russo.

Dyer & Jones are back for another kickabout: briefly; we meet Mark Lamanuzzi [Danny Dyer:] he has recently got married to the one he loves, but the only thing he has equal love for is the game of football/soccer; in this case the England football team through a European Championships, so he will eventually have to choose between one of his loves. The Boss [Vinnie Jones:] he is a internal character in Mark/Dyer's head that runs him like a football manager of England as Mark/Dyer is English with his England T-shirt on, so not necessarily the England football/soccer team.

Generally speaking: the framework is well laid out to incorporate; the internal, external and sometimes both components of this film with a base rate of good pacing of this 94 minutes film; we also have this commentary pairing of John Smith-Jones and Alan O'Luan [Jonathan Broke and Mark Lynch:] for this film they work for Flying On The Ball: to give us this exciting match between this newly married husband-and-wife, the action; football matches are sometimes brought to us by this exquisite art/animation; as they really put across; let's just say the positive components to being of any gender a football/soccer fan; I can really appreciate the high level of imagination as it relates to the comedy and art, the internal character developments and performances are good; but it also has to be said that Dyer and Jones have an excellent on-screen connection. The reason why I have grouped it all together or mostly altogether is because instead of clutching at straws; it would just be easier for me to say this; they very much at one point or another work simultaneously together.

Comedy, Character developments and performances; yes we do have some mature comedy references such as for a clean version Mark's new in-laws hearing too much on the telephone, the kind of things that you don't want to know and things you won't forget in a hurry, the external character developments and performances on both counts are good and the same can be said for performances as well.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; for it is unique football take on his honeymoon provided by this commentary team, the internal and external comedy and the art, yes it can be seen as a little bit cheesy, but on the whole this marking is richly deserved. This film also has 1 Winner accredited award to its name in the form of Fantasporto 2006 Audience Jury Award Richard Nockles Marlowe Fawcett

Derby County and Leeds United between the 1960s and 70s: Brian Clough [Michael Sheen:] he is a fiery yet charismatic manager of Derby County; that gets a bee in his bonnet, when he gets disrespected by another manager. Peter Taylor [Timothy Spall:] he is a calming assistant manager of Derby County Clough's number two, but as you will see not any less important; this is their story.

Generally speaking: storyline/script, framework, art, action and pacing; the storyline/script follows this time period, back and forth and some references to the 1980s, the framework has been designed to go backward and forward in time including but not limited to just the result of the match. The person I want some of this content with did get a little bit confused about the time jumps, which for me I get what they were trying to do, but there are some occasions where you have been a long time settled in a particular place and time and then you get picked up and dropped off, so you have to get settled again and sometime later you will have to repeat the cycle and so on and so forth, it is also clean and tidy well presented with the progression of Derby County or not so much Leeds United and we get to see some football, so broadly speaking and pacing of this 97 minute film is good, as I referenced earlier in this section what with the place jumps sometimes interrupting the flow of the movie, I think saying it is good is a fair statement.

Character developments and performances; combined these are the strongest asset to this project; as his character developments and performances are individually or together are excellent interpretations of who they are meant to be and to cover my back I only know of some of these people of their football reputation; so Michael Sheen as Brian Clough: leads this cast masterfully as how can I put this nicely; Clough was always indicated as someone that had a certain presence about him and attitude, which we experience perfectly in this film, without giving too much away but enough in this content; I like how this film explores Clough's relationship with Taylor; Timothy Spall as Peter Taylor: as seemingly as it is depicted in this interpretation that Taylor for the vast majority of their relationship, he had to have patience of a saint; but I would say on balance they needed one another to get the best out of each other; one was fire and the other water and behind them is an excellent assembled cast, there are no weak links.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; I have decided to award another mark, because after everything is said and done, it is a better and a more complete interpretation of the experience of this movie; this film is as I have already referenced an excellent interpretation on how Brian Clough was a once-in-a-lifetime character, but also a difficult person to get along with if you didn't see his vision or how he wanted things done his way. This film also has some awards accredited to its name in the form of 5 Nominees which include but not limited to Satellite Awards 2009 Satellite Award Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama Michael Sheen and Best Actor in a Supporting Role Timothy Spall

In Castle Grotteskew: briefly; in this location we meet Stitch Head [voice by: Asa Butterfield:] he is the first creation of the Professor [voiced by: Rob Brydon: which he is solely focused on making is next greatest creation, which leaves Head running and maintaining The Half Life section of this operation; basically this means what happens to the creations after they have been created, but eventually Head has the opportunity at what he thinks is a better choice/life.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 91 minutes film is good as everything settles down to business

Art, action and comedy; the artistic visions/computer animation are very distinctive as from the outset they put you/its audience right into this location with a very clear horror presentation and themes of the atmosphere for one thing being dark this castle and its monsters living here, we also have musical numbers such as; Ready for Monsters: these musical numbers are indeed a positive inclusion to this project as firstly they are likely and secondly it disc is another aspect for this project to offer. Now and again we have some wacky action and comedy such as when Creature [voiced by: Joel Fry:] the latest and newest creation and founding member; has just been created and from the perspective of Head he is just giving him this will rearrest welcoming speech as this creature is seemingly doing the stereotype of what monsters/creations do first when they are first born, which is crashing through so many walls, a little later we have this new creation during this to the literary he isn't to  old as he keeps telling the time off his watch which is located on one of his wrists or finely a little later he goes rolling down the hill: but everything this has to offer at minimum it is of a good nature.

Character developments and voice performances; on both counts they are all good and the cast have good chemistry.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; as it knows what it is; which is a very mildly horror based animated film project for all of the family, but on a valid side note I don't care how this came to be or whose fault it is; but it is really stupid to have this film go up against GOAT 2026 as they basically got released and essentially went head-to-head on their first weekend out and yes I know it is half term in the UK: but my point being is you are hitting the same demographic on the same weekend, which regardless is more than likely going to cost both of these projects individually when it is all said and done. I know from time to time you do get other films from completely different genres/age brackets coming out on the same weekend, which is absolutely fine because yes they can see both films or just one film, but it isn't hopefully going to harm one or either of these two projects hypothetically speaking of course, but as things that relate to this situation; this was just dumb, this film also has some extra still photographs and finally it does have some awards accredited to its name such as 1 Winner Lëtzebuerger Filmpräis 2025 Luxembourg Film Award Best Animated Co-Production (Beschte Animatiouns Co Produktioun) Toby Genkel Steve Hudson and 5 Nominees which include but not limited to Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 2026 Saturn Award Best International Animated Film

We need to find you shelter: briefly; after this horrific incidents Jessie [Bodhi Rae Breathnach:] he is this young girl making the delivery to this island, but when things go wrong she is saved by other alias/Michael Mason [Jason Statham:] this individual that leaves off grid with his dog, unknown to Jessie Mason is a ex-royal forces/member of the Black Ops operation known as Black Kites that really doesn't want to be found.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 107 minutes film is somewhat slower to begin with, but after some things wake up and off we go on this mission of sorts

Art, action and comedy; to begin this film we are some really eye-catching scenery/landscapes on where Mason and his dog lives off grid, as you would come to expect from a Statham lead action film title, there are plenty of action and chaos in that action as he either has set up traps or/and just wipes everything out and now and again we have a drop of comedy for a small example when Jessie points a gun at this individual.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are all good; on reflection Statham has adapted the characteristics of Frank Martin [Statham's version from the Transporter franchise from 2002-2008:] with a solemn approach and Statham will not thank me for saying this; but a much older character, without per se rules of Martin, but he does have some advice such as an education on how to use a weapon properly and to operate from a mind set of fear; this partnership of Statham and Rae Breathnach given praise for its organically natural approach and consequently Rae Breathnach feels at home; being a bright girl as Jessie; to try and protect yourself or knowing how to play chess or/and giving sass; actually based on this partnership I have decided to award this project another mark.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent, yes it does take a little time to get going, but once it gets going; it is a entertaining film, but as I have already stated it does need the partnership of Statham and Rae Breathnach to be more layered as a film as a whole, they could also do a sequel in the future as this could just be a start of a trilogy, based on the outlay of the script. But and I do stress but based on current information of when this content was first created; unfortunately I really don't see that happening based on the facts that we are approaching roughly 2 weeks of this film at the cinema and it has only struggle to make $15 million from a budget of $50 million, so having an educated guess for them to even consider potential of a sequel, I would suggest as a bit minimum it would need to be somewhere in the region of anywhere north of $150 million and nothing against this film, as I have already said I just can't see that happening.
