Match Day Thread World Group B

We'll play tougher opposition but can't complain at hitting 6 in the first game and Iran aren't the slouches some will portray them as.

 

If so, then every other manager since Sir Alf was also. Statistically he's second most successful at tournaments in history.

 

In the stadium? Where were the bananas thrown as I never saw any thrown at our players at Euro 2020?

 

Lambo didn't suggest there was either.

 

Day 2 & it starts.

 

So a dozen people bandy a few crass words around on Twitter, and for that England's football team should wear armbands that incorporate black nationalist symbols and perform a ritual kneeling for 3 years and counting? Said kneeling having been borrowed from a foreign organisation that rose to prominence in the public consciousness after the manslaughter of an American criminal (in the US) who died whilst being arrested for attempting to use counterfeit notes whilst high on drugs?

 

Didn't the knee thing start before the racist abuse following euro2020 as a reaction to BLM?

Don't see how you equate the two, regardless of your opinion of taking the knee - though if the players want to do that then they should have a right to that expression in a free democratic country IMHO.


Separate issues aren't they?

 

The original post said that our first three goals were scored by BAMEs and asked where the banana throwers were. I said I didn’t see any banana throwers. Someone said it happened at Euro 2020. Now it was online. So no racist abuse at 2020 and no banana throwers. Unless they were throwing bananas at their computer screens and TVs. Online abuse is not at a game..

 

I was referring to the statement in the original post someone saying bananas were thrown at our players by England fans other and people saying it happened at Euro2020. No it didn’t.

 

And what about the bananas allegedly thrown at a England players?

 

Only saw the o/p that I replied to suggesting he 'may' be referring to this, which Itself implies I wasn't aware of bananas of Monkey chants at games, though dozens of social media accounts using monkey emojis and '******' is hardly an indication that we don't still have an issue in some corners of society.

Lambo wasn't saying what the O/P suggested happened either, just the abuse that actually happened.

 

You are riveting

 

Well that was being discussed. Your points weren’t pertinent to the original discussion. That statement was incorrect.

 

I would expect you go go along with any incorrect ****.

 

Or deliberately misinterpreting to grind an all too familiar axe....

....again....?

 

You go on about things happening elsewhere being irrelevant. Well, what happens online is irrelevant to claims bananas were thrown at players at Wembley. They weren’t. A lot of the online abuse was shown to be from overseas as it is in a lot of things.
