That's pretty much how I see it too ! Taking the knee is a particularly important issue for Gareth Southgate but IMHO that has run it's course and he should now become much more voluble on the finals in Qatar where human rights are being violated on an institutionalised (and daily) basis ! There is a racial element in this also as Arabs are treated totally differently to the Asian workers who are being exploited ! Everyone knows that FIFA only sanctioned it through corruption and if they are to be called out on it then a few of the big nations should take a stand and pull out of the competition ! I know that this won't happen but surely if gestures before every match are important to you then you have to include all races (not just black) !!

Reading that really does reinforce the anti woke argument (Turkish will have a field day with that one😎). Right minded, socially aware citizens do not need to be told what to read or watch ! Totally inflammatory IMHO !

I have never put anyone on the 'ignore' list but very often when I see the name in bold above the post, I just ignore it, simples... Tbf, so many are quoted retrospectively anyway that it's all a bit pointless in my opinion !!

Don't get too excited, it probably won't work 😛!

I've just completed the 'matchday experience survey' for yesterday ! I think they were very brave (or stupid) to ask but I do hope that they understand sarcasm ! I was waxing lyrical on all ticket related issues and used a lot of words when basically one would have sufficed : CLUSTERFUCK

What’s the betting that we won’t get the admin charge deducted ??? 😼

Laughing my arse off at the sense of entitlement by Solskaer, Fernandes and others ! What with the Klopp rant yesterday you can easily see why they signed up for the aborted Super League so that the ‘little’ teams wouldn’t be able to rattle them…. Pathetic turds the lot of them 😇

I’ve just received a mail from the club asking me to complete a ‘Matchday Experience Survey’ 😮 I won’t be holding back but where the hell do I start ! At least they team did us proud but for the rest of it, it was shambolic 😩

If we are loose then we’ll probably lose…😲

Just said on Sky Sports that the queue is so long that they’ve been handing out free socks ! you couldn’t make it up…. 🙀

Hallelujah 😇 Got back from the golf course at lunchtime and Postman Pat was just pulling in to my driveway with a bunch of mail including one from SFC ! So I will be there and (hopefully) hassle free ! Doesn't excuse the total fuck up and I feel for those who have not yet got them ! Good luck to you all....

I ordered an extra ticket for my grandson and it was delivered the following day but my ST has not yet arrived ! A total shit show....

So it's now Thursday am ! Has anybody received theirs ? Would be nice to know that the process is in motion ? Mine is still not here !

I travelled extensively in the 70s & 80s, carried inoculation documents for yellow fever, typhus, malaria and other diseases. I have also lived in other countries (Germany & Belgium) where they had mandatory ID cards and never once felt that my 'freedom' was compromised ! Given that the overwhelming statistics show that the vaccines are working, I just cannot fathom the logic of those who maintain the they are 'threatened' because they may have to declare that they have been vaccinated ! It's not a big deal, it's not an affront to civil liberty, it's purely helping your fellow man to survive.... I've yet to hear a rational, intelligent explanation for why someone doesn't get jabbed but I'll keep on reading, just in case...

Ensure that you use an incorrect word in order that some smartarse can pick you up on it 😜

RIP Jimmy 😩 True legend....

With far less individual ability (they are the 3rd lowest ranked team in the competition), Scotland had a much better game plan and with a slice of luck / quality finishing would have won it ! England will need to improve dramatically if they are to compete with the likes of France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and Portugal ! Home advantage so far has counted for very little but may come into play later on ! The group stages don't tell you everything as some teams peak early and some late but given the perceived lack of fitness of some key players (Kane, Henderson, McGuire etc..) something has to change fairly quickly !

Reading the various reports on this, it seems that the penalty was "negotiated" between the 6 clubs and the PL 🤨. It's been stated as a "goodwill gesture" on their part ! No bloody wonder they got off so lightly, you really couldn't make it up....

Mistake # 1 😅

This is true but it was high quality piss not like the stuff you get at Nottarf Krap 🤑

Ah, the memories 😇 I can still smell the aroma in our trough style urinals as we speak…..

If this thread is any way indicative of wider public opinion and I think it probably is.... The gesture therefore is becoming inflammatory and ceases to emit a positive message so perhaps should be stopped ! Problem is that the likes of Southgate would now perceive it as a climbdown and won't do it for that reason ! The Euros will be affected by it which is a real shame and I really hope that it doesn't boil over...

Thank you for quoting me out of context ! The great thing about these threads is that it’s easy to isolate one part of a post and twist the sentiment completely ! Please show me where I suggested that it was ok to use a nazi salute ????

I personally feel that it's lost it's impetus and is therefore not worth doing anymore ! When something becomes habitual then the message dissipates over time ! Being a little controversial though, I find that when some players (Redmond, Obafemi and others) give the 'black power' fist gesture, it can almost be seen as provocative and if it were any other gesture (extreme example = nazi salute) it would not be allowed ! I would never boo it nor am I offended by it but I do feel now that something different should be tried and it should not be beyond the wit of man to find a new approach to a problem which clearly does exist, although I would argue that it is within the minority rather than being institutionalised !
