    It's not really hate though is it? More taking the piss and comic book xenophobia than anything else (not that I am justifying it). I am sure lots of people from countries that "hate" England were angry when there were bombs on the tubes.

    That said, had it been Belgium I would be careful not to post anything as I would get hammered.

    Maybe that's because they are engaged in a vicious Civil War?

    The hypocrisy of the likes of Obama and Cameron is a good laugh.

    As there is little - if any - reporting by Western Media agencies in Syria, and that random murders are apparently a daily occurrence, it explains why no one bats an eyelid. Likewise in Afghanistan and Iraq, bombings and murders are commonplace there is little shock value, but when a major western nation is attacked in it's capital I think its only natural that people are more outraged by that than another senseless killing in the boondocks

    It's ok, it turned out to just be Giroud getting in some extra heading practise after the NLD.

    No doubt there will be a banner at parkhead at the next game in support of ISIS, especially if the reports I read in L'Equipe are correct that one of the gunmen had the old Celtic top on under his combat gear.

    I'm just saying, that's all. I think it's a valid point I've made, but it's probably not the best time for us to get into a slanging match.

    Who's slanging? I'm simply pointing out why no one bats an eyelid at events in Syria.

    And I'm simply pointing out, that I think it would be distasteful if - seeing as you have taken a contrary stance as always - I argued the point with you now.
