It’s crap!

Several clubs have tried this fade design including a couple of PL sides.

Man City had that orange into yellow away strip and Spurs tried fading the white shirts into navy shorts which looked bloody stupid when they wore white shorts in Europe!

It doesn’t work! Football kits should be strong blocks of colour.

It’s yet another example of how Scunthorpe United has lost its identity. If we stuck with claret and blue stripes years ago then we’d have one. You don’t see the Cods or Newcastle ditching their black and white stripes, or Blackburn binning their blue and white halfs.

The fans’ vote was a complete joke. It was always going to be the mess we’re getting this season so don’t take us for fools Mr Swann!

31st July not looking too good either!

I don’t want to excite anyone too much, but perhaps Sir Nigel has been in the building!

You can if you’re awarded the points for non-fulfilment!

You weren’t, so don’t make guesses and don’t ridicule me thank you.

I watched it all right, but Cox said nothing coherent as usual. He must be Boris. Johnson’s script writer!

“We had some in the building, that weren’t right. We’re looking at others blah, blah!”

If you want to read stuff into it (which is good fun admittedly) fair enough.

Me, I’ll wait until I see signings on the BBC Sports website, like today.

Lewis Thompson – wasn’t he one of the ones sent back?

[Northumbiron]

No it can’t be.

Last weekend’s trialists have been sent back.

When I suggested otherwise I was ridiculed. Must be someone else!

Have you applied to be the next Head of the NHS?

I think you should.

Why would this point to trialists being binned?

Uruguay 0-0

Mexico 2-0

Argentina 1-0

Portugal 2-1

Not sure about France but I believe we didn’t concede until the semifinal, a bit like this year.

Does this mean we’ve uncovered the video critic?

[Northumbiron]

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 😂

[Northumbiron]

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.

[Northumbiron]

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?

[Northumbiron]

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.

[Northumbiron]

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?

[Northumbiron]

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.
