Chelsea sack Frank Lampard

[St Chads Lad]

Congratulations to Rangers on winning the Scottish Premier league, I'm absolutely made up, a long road back after being put into administration in 2012, big thank you to Steven Gerrard and his staff, the current squad, and all ex-players that played their part in this achievement.

[ExileSteve]

And congratulations to St Johnstone, worthy winners of the Scottish FA Cup and the Scottish League Cup. And they had never landed any major trophy prior to 2014. 

[St Chads Lad]

I agree, well done the 'Saints'

England boss Gareth Southgate vows team won't 'stick to football' at Euro 2020
The England manager says he will continue to empower his players to stand up for what they believe in.


Aren't the fans standing up for what THEY believe in?......or doesn't that matter?

He really doesn’t “ get it” does he ?,The man is a yes man that’s why he got the job,

The FA's plan now is to target the 'boo boys' with videos and 'equality messages' throughout the tournament in order to head off any more 'dissent', sounds positively dystopian.

The Ukraine national team has been told that they cannot have the slogan 'Glory to our heroes' sewn on the inside of their shirts, it being a tribute to the anti Russian forces resisting the occupation of Crimea because it's political  ??
  So they only allow certain political statements.

So in their next game Belgium are going to stop the game in the tenth minute by putting the ball out of play  as a tribute to Erickson?, I can just see lukaku bearing down on goal with only the goalkeeper to beat at nine minutes and fifty nine seconds then putting the ball out of play ,what stupid woke nonsense,

If it happens in the premiership again the non-racists could all point to where the chants are coming from and the cameras could zoom in on the culprits,  who would be detained after the match finished,  names etc, taken by police and then possibly banned

[Parky]

Celeste, why is it racist to boo a Marxist organisation ?. Also if people are wearing masks how are they going to prove the person was booing

[celeste]

The taking of the knee is to show solidarity against the policeman who murdered George Floyd,  the fans here are fed up with it because it's getting in the way of their enjoyment of the game,  they don't want their game politicized imo - how long is it going to go on for?  They want to get on with the football.


There may be stewards or police in the crowd who would notice who the people are,  if there are chants when a black footballer gets the ball and the boos are coming from the same crowd, this will have been witnessed.

[Parky]

If the U.K. is so racist why are people risking their lives coming here ?. I notice no east European teams are taking the knee , maybe after years of being under communist rule they now enjoy more freedom of speech ,

[St Chads Lad]

The leadership of those countries will not allow the watering down or the appropriation of their cultures by an invading force and good for them, that is why the Globalists of the EU despise them, no snowflakery in those places. 
 
  I cannot believe that the fuzz are going to investigate Scotland fans for chanting anti-England songs, isn't that what footy fans do? Sticks and stones.
