MADNESS, MADNESS, MADNESS: FA covers up ‘Super White Army’ banner at Tranmere Rovers (even though it refers to the WHITE SHIRTS that the team play in)
‘A “Super White Army” banner was covered up during an England football match after a picture with it in was shared online by one of the team’s players.
The sign at Tranmere Rovers’ ground was obscured by the FA for the Lionesses’ World Cup qualifier, hours after Lucy Bronze shared the photo online.
People responding to the post suggested the banner could be seen as racist.
Tranmere Rovers Supporters’ Club said it was “not remotely racist” and referred to their team’s shirts.
England’s Lionesses had been embroiled in an ongoing row before Tuesday’s match over discrimination allegations made against the team’s manager Mark Sampson, who has since been sacked over an unconnected matter.
The FA confirmed it took down the banner at Prenton Park but said it would be making no further comment.’
