Description

In the latest Just Look At His Face we talk about football's on-going struggle with racism and why the well-intended social media boycott feels like no more than a token gesture.

Samba In The Smethwick End co-author Dave Bowler is joined by Chris Lepkowski, who explains why he opted to keep his social media account active during the three-day protest - despite being in agreement that action was needed.

We also look at how discrimination has blighted football and discuss what happens next.
