Sorry if this has been done. I've only just seen this shared online and I'm so disturbed. 'Cry more slut' - she's a child Sad I don't understand the hatred and violence towards girls and women, I really can't wrap my head around why those people thought those comments were funny or ok to post.

@RLOU30

A go fund me page has been set up for the little girl trying to raise £500 to show not all of the UK are arseholes or something. It’s at about £4,500 now
I didn’t think it had anything to do with the rest of the UK just England .
DrSbaitso · 01/07/2021 21:58

I guess it's proof of what an emotive image it was.

Moomala · 01/07/2021 21:58

Yes they are disgusting and yes it's men yet again!

Longtimeagonow46 · 01/07/2021 21:59

Can't get much lower than ridiculing a child. Absolutely vile.

Boomisshiss · 01/07/2021 21:59

@PinkSparklyPussyCat is this thread about Ukraine fans no it’s about England fans no need for the whataboutery

Bryonyshcmyony · 01/07/2021 22:00

Who knows where the Twitter posters are from?

Jahebejrjr · 01/07/2021 22:01

The point is there are idiots supporting all teams. It’s completely dishonest to suggest this is an exclusively English problem.

Againstmachine · 01/07/2021 22:02

Football brings worst in people. Also what is the go fund me about seems bizzare.

No it's not but I'm sick of the way many posters on MN seem to think that only England fans ever do anything wrong. The snobbery on here when it comes to too football is ridiculous.

Jahebejrjr · 01/07/2021 22:04

The point about Ukraine is because we play them next.

It's pathetic!

@SachaStark

The top right is JackMate, and he’s definitely being extremely sarcastic.

The rest are disgusting.

I was looking for this comment, i'm 99% sure he's being sarcastic, he's known for calling people out on stuff.

Agree though, it's really awful, it's a little girl.

True, but this one is clearly a problem of English 'fans'.

Jahebejrjr · 01/07/2021 22:17

It’s not a problem of the fans. It’s the problem of the dickhead who posted it.

Boomisshiss · 01/07/2021 22:20

@Jahebejrjr

It’s not a problem of the fans. It’s the problem of the dickhead who posted it.
And the thousands and thousands of people who appear to have liked and shared the tweets.
Jahebejrjr · 01/07/2021 22:22

I looked on the twitter account of one of the accounts. It was not being widely shared. It was widely condemned. Whatever anti-English sentiment drives this, please do not claim a few idiots represent me and others who support the team.

Bumblenums1234 · 01/07/2021 22:23

@Bryonyshcmyony

Shut up and let the men get on with making degrading comments about a child then?

To be fair, I'd only seen them on this post. And the one top right is sarcasm btw.

You'd be better off giving up twitter than getting in a froth about football.

To be honest this is the only place I have seen these tweets too.
Boomisshiss · 01/07/2021 22:25

Sure those 1400 likes and the 12,000 likes on Jackamates tweet those and all the retweet’s yes definitely condemning it . Sweep sweep .

StormcloakNord · 01/07/2021 22:27

England fans (all football fans, really) are absolutely gross.

We were out for dinner in England (visiting from Scotland) on Tuesday night and when England scored it was fucking riotous. Screaming, shouting, jumping, throwing drinks.

It was like watching a bunch of fucking apes.

That tweet was sarcastic. Honestly just leave Twitter alone. You don't understand it and it's upsetting you. Just turn it off!
Boomisshiss · 01/07/2021 22:28

Oh all those tweets are sarcastic now. Maybe jacks was but the others weren’t again sweep sweep .

And the salient point here is.. Visiting from Scotland.

No. I said Jack's was. The others were nasty.
Jahebejrjr · 01/07/2021 22:30

I haven’t seen that tweet. The tweet I saw related to a different account. Twitter is very toxic though. That’s not in dispute.
I still stand by my comment that I won’t be lumped together with vile attitudes and the vast majority of English fans felt sorry for the poor girl.
