I see the England captain is wearing a rainbow armband now,where will it all end?.

Wrong again!

Check the pictures from the Ukraine game which was on July 4th.

Kane & Neuer both wore rainbow armbands in the game played on June 29th.

Because June was Pride Month.

Get it?

Morecambe were promoted on the back of a playoff final win. So the comparison isn’t a good one.

Barrow would be a better yardstick.

The way the Cods have gone about keeping the fans onside after relegation to Non League is worthy of note too.

Isn’t that what people have been on about NI the Ukrainian felt obliged to do it.

You’d have to ask him wouldn’t you?

My take on it is that he had no idea what was going on. So I don’t for one minute believe he felt obligated to do anything.

More that it is not an issue in the Ukraine. I’ve never been to Kiev so I can’t comment on race relations in that part of Europe.

What I care about is that my country is seen as being anti-racist and am therefore proud to see the national team showing their continued support.

I do not agree that all this calling players bad names exists,

What?

Have you not seen or heard about the abuse sportsmen and women have received on social media? In the six months from September to April last, Twitter removed over 7,000 abusive tweets. Have you not seen the ads on tv?

Not just footballers like Sterling, Rashford and Deeney either. Even Lewis Hamilton has been a victim.

Just because you live in a sleepy town or village and don’t hear it doesn’t mean to say it doesn’t exist.

The England squad as a group has CHOSEN to continue to take the knee to let the world know they support equality. As did the Germans last week.

As the above posts outline, choice should be respected. People like Fox do not respect this and are so childish in their attitudes that they want England to lose should they continue to take the knee. That is what I-A was parodying in his rather tongue in cheek post.

I found it amusing that before Saturday’s game kicked off the Ukrainians stood around bemused as the England team knelt. One obviously thought he should be doing the same and went down just as Kane & Co were getting up!

Indeed.

So should players cross themselves when then walk onto the pitch or is it a Catholic conspiracy?

[Northumbiron]

York only played 13 before the season was declared void.

[Northumbiron]

Certainly grown into the tournament, the difference tonight compared to the Scotland game was remarkable.

The Danes are playing on pure adrenaline, spurred on by the awful incident with Eriksen in the first game. So will be no pushover, but I’d love to see an England v Italy final.

To be honest I think Beestin was more of a saviour than Jem. Several very important goals that ultimately saved our league status.

UTI, you avoid commenting on the utter mess the club is in, then you post this, splitting the finest of hairs.

Do you agree with the majority that Peter Swann has run down the club to such an extent we will enter the new season as relegation candidates?

If not, why not? Where’s your usual optimistic spin?

So sod all chance of Jem coming back then!

Did Ernie have anything positive to say? Or just shifting the blame to everyone but himself?

Come along Watson!

Simply look back at the team that played Morecambe deduct those who have been released and see who is left. Elementary!

[Northumbiron]

Unless I’m missing someone it would seem the only two full-backs on the books are O’Malley and Rowe.

Whilst not the worst we’ve ever had they’re still youngsters and should one or both get injured then we’re screwed.

The same applies to other areas of the pitch too.

I would expect a minimum of six new faces and a couple of loans.

Or am I being silly?

So he should be okay there.

So that’s trialists A to B then?

Thought I was being a tad optimistic!

Cox comes out of it with some credit.

Other decision-makers less so!

Once we’ve sold 3,000 season tickets we will!

So only chanting counts does it?

We can forget the moron who leans over the perimeter wall and shouts f*** off! You black c***!

Because, believe me, they still exist.

That’s less believable than your God created the Universe posts, which is saying something!

To be fair I was originally going to put KvV and Mooney!

Don’t think so. My mate had one (even though he lives in N/land) but stopped when they ended the deal.
