    No it won't really, but everyone is entitled to an opinion on it. I don't agree with people booing those that do it, but I also support those that don't agree with it. I thought it was a good idea until the loonies hijacked it. Now I think it's a waste of time. Actions speak louder than words,

    I wouldn’t boo the players either but I wouldn’t throw an ounce behind the BLM movement for what it has become. Radicalised, ironically by white people who just don’t ****ing get it, as well as the mainstream media, and once they’re behind something it’s only ever to divide people.

    yep, and they're actively trying to find racism where there isn't any, like with that Romanian ref a while ago who simply used the Romanian word for black to point out Webo, the only black coach on the bench. And, like the Slavia Prague player, if you're accused of saying or doing anything racist by a black person, then it seems you're guilty without a single bit of corroborative evidence. Could've called his mum a crack whore for all we know.
    I hate racism, but I hate scapegoating just as much.

    People love to find offence, like the ones apparently disgusted the BBC didn't cut back to the studio during yesterday’s game. But watched it until they did?

    Random but i was just watching the three lions music video and noticed that when baddiel and skinner are playing footy with some kids in a subway.

    That subway is pretty much outside my door:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Ita obviously a sign that it is indeed coming home

    I think if I learned anything from yesterday, we need better protocol for such events. Crisis management. Personally I don't think the game should have been recommenced yesterday, ragardless of Eriksen supposedly giving it the ok.

    It shouldn't have even been a question, the match should have been cancelled and rescheduled, and UEFA need to organise events in such a way that matches do have time to be replayed, for what is rare events. Suggesting the schedule is too tight is not good enough. I know changes can impact fans, but that's what happens in any crisis, covid having the biggest impact as one.

    As for updates about the well-being of Eriksen, IMHO it isn't helpful when the BBC cut to re-runs of programs, I just switch to the news or take to twitter, simply because we saw something happen, and we want to know he's ok, it's human nature. The problem then is verifying if pictures such as Eriksen sitting up with an oxygen mask are genuine, because the realiable sources have cut us off.

    Charity adverts think nothing of showing us emaciated animals, and children in third world countries at deaths door looking nothing more than a bag of bones. Or news channels showing an enormous explosion that ripped away many lives and structures afar.

    If anything showing Eriksen in a distressed state, is a reminder and teaches us all the importance of what's needed to save a life, afterall one day we may have to deal with it for real. I see what I look at not as a ghoul but an education.

    Its worth mentioning quite a few of the danish players were in tears during the warm up.

    The danes were given a choice of restarting the game that night or today at 12noon.

    I guess eriksons video chat convicnced them to play but clearly they wernt right in the head to play. Imo anyway
