if he has any evidence he should tell us what it is

just saying "I think I should have been captain and because I wasn't it might be racism" is pointless. He actually WAS captain three times. Lots of people have played more and been captain less.

Racism is a particular hate of mine but people who assert it everywhere without any evidence or good cause just make it harder to attack it because it cheapens the whole issue by diluting real case swith trivial ones.

There is ZERO evidence that Campbell has even been unfairly treated, let alone that any possible unfair treatment was down to racism.
