Does this mean we’ve uncovered the video critic?
Blimey, you’re right!
Must have had that squirrelled away at the back of the wardrobe. Will be able to get it out next year at this time.
Watched at home recovering from jaundice. Had missed the last two weeks of school and the Mexico game as I was completely out of it.
Recuperated with a fortnight at Butlins, Bognor Regis! We’d gone upmarket from Skeggy by then 😂
Was Kane’s penalty against Denmark a disgrace?
Because if that had been a shootout the follow up wouldn’t have counted!
The same people harping on about Rashford’s humanitarian work will be the same ones who moan about the pampered millionaire footballers training for a few hours then driving off in their Ferraris and Maseratis to get another tattoo or a new haircut, before spending the rest of the day in the hot tub!
When one comes along who actually uses his spare time, fame and money to do something worthwhile he gets criticised even more.
Hypocrisy of the highest order.
Northumbiron, you can’t ignore this so called “crap”. Read up about her, it’s not hard.
I’ve “read up on it” long before today, thank you very much!
And I’ll reiterate what myself and many others have said on here. Footballers are doing it to highlight social injustice, end of!
Stop trying to read sinister stuff into it.
Straight after he missed the pen according to Gurney’s link.
I did say at the time I thought you were stirring it. Are you saying you weren’t?
Been through all of this pointless crap before.
I repeat – how can you train someone to be a Marxist? It’s not a circus trick.
What the hell does the political leanings of a graduate of UCLA have to do with football in Britain and Europe anyway.
The England team made it blatantly clear that they were doing this in support of stamping out social injustice. Nothing to do with Patrisse Cullors or Marxism. No Black Power salutes to be seen.
Stop trying to dig for hidden agendas and conspiracy theories. It is that straightforward.

Knew you didn’t come up with that comment on your own.
Lewis Hamilton has added his voice the the ongoing problems of abuse, so the next time he hits the gravel will you say “He should concentrate more on his driving than on politics”?
The most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a long while.

You can’t be certain there was no racist abuse inside the ground unless you were there.
What you can be certain of is that the Italian National Anthem was booed, as has that of every side we’ve played, which is appalling no matter how you look at it.
There was also the ugly scenes involving England fans fighting England fans in the concourse and surrounding areas as they tried to barge their way in without tickets. Luckily modern stadia are designed to cope with this, otherwise we could have had another Hillsborough on our hands.
Very sad that what was a rare sporting occasion brought out the worst in some people.
BPG I offer you my sincere apologies if you believe my précis does not truly reflect your views.
But I ask again. Do you think that racist abuse is a thing of the past? Or do you admit it is happening now and should be brought to our attention so we can openly condemn it?
BPG, I have no intention of re-posting your stupid remarks linking the knee to Marxist groups. The fact that you took the opportunity to do so above shows how misguided you are.
You have repeatedly posted on IB saying that racism has been “virtually” eliminated. Then to cover yourself to add “at football grounds”.
What has happened again after yesterday’s final, and which has been going on for several years now, is the continued abuse of players, mostly but not exclusively on social media. Your posts suggest that you think this doesn’t matter. Or that it’s okay because you can’t hear it.
If this is not the case then perhaps you could post again admitting it IS a problem, and that players are right in keeping it in the public attention by taking the knee. After giving it some thought you may also wish to admit it has nothing to do with any Marxist agenda.
If you were to come out in support of the players and condemn racist abuse wherever it happens then I will be more than willing to apologise for not fully quoting you.
Indeed.
And I found this rather ironic…
“Home Secretary Priti Patel said the vile abuse has no place in our country and that she will back the police to hold those responsible accountable”.
At least a team taking the knee won the tournament!
But when they come on they spend most of the time on the ground.
Fouled, dived, out-muscled? You decide.
Sako could be emotionally damaged by this. I hope he’s strong enough to bounce back.
Is Grealish as good as we think at International level?
On July 1st Billpuntonsghost wrote “I have never heard any racial abuse. Some on hear claim they have (which I don’t deny is true), but racial abuse in this country has been virtually eliminated.”
On July 5th Bartonscorpion wrote “I do not agree that all this calling players bad names exists.”
So how do you explain this vile abuse?
England will get nowhere too frightened to attack unlike Denmark.
Gareth thought otherwise!
A touch of premature adulation there Bobby! You can get medication for it.
Southgate got a lot right in the run up to the final, but made a bit of an arse of it last night.
Mind you he was up against Mancini who has an impeccable pedigree at National and Club level. Changing it to nullify England’s wing backs was genius. Kane forced to come deep, Sterling and Sako getting the treatment from the Italian defenders (who all took “one for the team”).
Poor substitutions. Not his night I’m afraid and, I’m still not seeing anything of that “young attacking talent”!
Stop doing the Ali shuffle and blast it like Kane & Maguire!
I assume you are shit-stirring BTW.
This site would have trouble deciding whether to have tea or coffee
Big J and his disciples….
Tea of course. It’s Britain’s National drink. Grown in the glorious British Empire where the sun never sets. It’s what our brave soldiers drank in the trenches and on the Normandy beaches. Coffee is drunk by the French and Italians, no wonder they threw the towel in during WWII.
Libtard Forum VI …..
Coffee! Because it’s drunk all over Europe, of which we should still be a part. Responsibly sourced, and imported on a fair trade deal through the Rain Forests Alliance it can provide valuable income for the less privileged rural workers of countries such as Colombia, Brazil and Kenya.

54 years ago today, well done lads.
Are you referring to the release of Sgt Pepper’s by the Beatles?
Because England won the World Cup 55 years ago.
If there’s anything contentious comes up we know who’ll be censoring it!
Cox was laying into the forward players at end of the game
So I’m guessing Turan was more geriatric than Jerry hat-trick!

Including an appearance by the lesser spotted German
And that well known pair Tweedle A & Tweedle B!
That’s a player’s’ decision, not a fans’ one.
Under the new budget cuts they’ll have to make their own way there!
And who took the title instead of us?
Where are they now?
Could we be joining them?
😂😂😂😂😂
Knew that would get “his” hackles up!
July 9, 2021 at 2:58 pm in reply to: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck… #210075Too many falling outs fo my liking.
Managers, coaches, players, supporters, local press, local government…..
Not sure if anyone trusts him anymore. Probably fewer now than those who said they still supported him in the poll two months ago.

It was more what our dear Prime Minister could learn from it. Particularly the way Southgate speaks.
I said it was a dream final for me personally because since the 1970 World Cup I have followed the Italian National team.
It all came about after that England v Germany quarter final. The ageing World Champions losing in extra time to “Der Bomber” Gerd Muller! We had a dodgy keeper that day too!
In the semi Italy scored early but conceded with the last kick of normal time (shades of 1966). The final score aet Italy 4, West Germany 3! The press called it the game of the century and it was certainly the best game I’d watched (after 1966 of course) and still remember it.
So Italy became my new England. Particularly as the Lions didn’t qualify for another World Cup until 1982, when bizarrely Italy beat West Germany in the final.
I was deprived of the dream final in 1990 when we lost “that” penalty shootout, and somehow the Argentinians defeated Italy, Baggio, Schillaci et al!
So I’ve waited for this for 31 years (if not 51)!
Who do I want to win?
England of course! Italy have had numerous moments in the sun over the last 55 years, we desperately need something to rejoice about given the crap we’ve had to put up with over the past decade plus!
Just hope it’s a great advert for football.

So I guess no one read the article I linked to?
Apologies accepted!
Southgate for PM!
He didn’t pay anything for the land, he just swapped it for the debt.
Is that supposed to sound better?
Sounds a bit dodgy to me!
