Football’s big moment

[BrianV]

Euro football starting but unfortunately our England players & manager seem to have been heading far too many balls, they have decided this is the perfect occasion to carry on with the bended knee farce, did no one point out to them that this will probably be the perfect opportunity for the oppositions fans to seize the chance to join our supporters in booing the English players.
Maybe this will bring racial harmony with all the different races booing in harmony, but I fear it will do far more harm than good!

Well at least it will only be for 3 matches.

The obvious question is how long do they plan on doing this for exactly? If they'd any sense they'd have stopped it before it got to the stage of everyone getting seriously hacked off with it. Do they want us all to start doing it in daily life? Have I to take the knee just before I put my shopping on the conveyor belt? Not sure that's gonna help the queues.

F1 is just as bad. 'We race as one' etc. etc. What a load of absolute crap.

Apparently if we all dont support this we ate all racists and need to be hauled off to the gulag to be educated, blm are completely non political so I'm told and wearing a poppy is a far more political statement. When I said those that died for our freedoms so we could have free speech to discuss these things I was told to f**k off, there are some really nice people about, he did say that at some point all the "correct" thinking people will rise up and take over from us, I reminded him that he needed to be vary of grumpy old barstewards that had access to a lot of shotguns etc and would have wiped his mates out before they got out of bed .

I wonder how many F1 folk were huge fans of Mr Hamilton for many years and enjoyed his success and cheered him on regardless of the colour of his skin until he signed up to the racist BLM movement. I'll count myself in. His mother is white, his father is black. Nobody really cares about those facts. Now F1 is the diverse and inclusive Lewis show. Rubbish. Followed his career since he was in carts and now wish he would go off and model women's dresses or whatever he does.

 

[The Seeker]

to be honest, i just dont buy it. seems to have swamped media like nothing before. as if bending on one knee actually means anything anyway ? i cringe when i see it. rappers use the n word, $$$$$$ was made from bad attitude celebrities & the 90's films set black movement back 30 years but the he time the films were a critical success. then young kids w grew up wanting to be like dough boy from boys in the hood and that's exactly what they did.

nice to see lewis walking around the grid in glasses last weekend? peak of peak performances athlete with millisecond reactions and a set of glasses? fashion glasses no doubt..... jesus.. they didn't even help him spot his braking point

First match against Croatia where ethnic cleansing has almost been a national past time, you couldn't make it up!
Still at least Serbia aren't there waiting in the wings if by some miracle we get through to the next round.

 

[Mr Mackay]

Try and let it drift past you ,I think. As much as it annoys a lot of us , its important to think everything can settle down to let us actually enjoy these events again properly IMO.

We cannot continually be apologising for the sins of our fathers and other folks fathers ,and let it cloud enjoyment of sport/whatever.

And before I get accused of sexism , I love Gabby Logan as a commentator/presenter , shes better than a lot of the men ,but one or 2 of the other ones seem to be a bit meuuugh .
There ,I.ve said it

To me it was more about his vegan hypocrisy. Banging on about its importance to the planet, then having his dinners flown half way round the world by private jet.

 

[Gong Farmer]

Probably mentioned elsewhere but always seems odd that they have to act out what happened to George Floyd in order to show solidarity

 

[nivilla1982]

Brentford have said they wont do it next season?

 

[holywell farmer]

And hopefully England and Scotland fans will behave themselves

 

[Highland Mule]

And hopefully England and Scotland fans will behave themselves

Is your country not taking part, or do their fans not need to behave? Apart from 1977 (?) the tartan army have a pretty good history of behaviour.

 

[Raider112]

At last we've found a subject that all farmers seem to agree on.

 

[essex man]

Think the way we tell you to or else you are a bad person, the list is endless now.....
Climate change, BLM, LGBQTUVRSTYX, covid etc

The more they add to the list the more people they squeeze out though.

 

[Agrivator]

Pisss off.

 

[delilah]

Pisss off.

You think we will do anything ? Southgate is no manager never has been, used all his luck up in the World cup.
