Racist abuse of Saka, Sancho and Rashford after penalty misses

This is why I don't support England and was dreading them winning as I don't think the fans deserve it. They don't deserve those boys.

The boys are English when they score goals but monkeys and the N word when they don't.

Rashford runs a campaign to feed starving kids and gets nothing but racial and other types of abuse week in week out. Sterling regularly vilified in the press for buying his mum a house and his wife shopping at Primark 🙄. Both rise above it and are nothing but professional in their measured comments. And they have to be or it would just get worse.

The right wing press if this country feeds the jingoism, racism and xenophobia and this place is just a cesspool now.

The lip service paid to the situation: the statements 'condeming' the racism and the pathetic kneeing (which the English fans have charmingly taken to booing). A nation that has to tell it's fans not to racially abuse its team because they lost a football game is not one to be proud of.

Hey, it's free to join FSA! Have a nosey on there. All sorts of campaigns and info.
I love the game too, (and Womens footie is doing well) I wish I could show you my treasured giant Union flag, ( with Munching Glad Back slogan) that went to Rome in 1977 Woo hoo!

*My spelling and punctuation is often very poor.
I could pass as one of them online.

Do you think they'll let me join?

Sort of BlacKkKlansman undercover type thing?*. 🤣🤣

Sorry bold fail there!

It is a shame people aren’t allowed to express difference of opinions without people getting upset, if you will not look outside your small circle and have an open mind how can we move forward,

Did they say what countries these accounts are from, Twitter is worldwide,
Why are you so desperate to make out the U.K. is so racist?

Sirius99 · 16/07/2021 10:14

Seems a lot of people to quick to jump on the racist bandwagon
You can criticise people without it being racist

The writing doesn't appear "racial" because it's mainly illegible so the Rozzers, hand on heart, when asked, can't say what it says - because its author can just about scribble, so piss poor are they at their letters. (Worse, even, than wot I am)

Because these sort of foot soldiers, generally, are thick as two short planks. (As we see in various posts on here.)

The police are checking the paint against other graffiti and checking CCTV etc. They say they are " keeping an open mind" because they have to until someone is charged. As per PACE etc

It appeared an hour after the match. The ACTION of defacing the mural was racist in intent. QED in my book, which I can say, as I'm not a cop.

This is lovely. The first lil baby beaver born on Exmoor for 400 years... the NT opened up a poll to name him.

Overwhelmingly by public vote... he is going to be named 'Rashford'.

Smile

Here he is!

"Racism against black athletes getting worse" says Mo Farah

Roussette · 16/07/2021 11:00

I luvs Mo Farah, he gave a brilliant interview this morning on the Breakfast News.

C130 · 16/07/2021 11:01

That is so nice. Baby beaver Rashford. Thanks for posting that Roussette.

EchoNan · 16/07/2021 11:01

Rousette I'm thinking of my reaction should my son come home from work and tell me that a beaver had been named after him. Shock

Sirius99 · 16/07/2021 11:02

Roussette
Lovely, what good natured people we have in the UK

Roussette · 16/07/2021 11:04

I know! But Echo he is sooooo cute!

'Rashford' got 49.9% of the vote, Banksy came second with 17% so pretty overwhelming!

Why is hard to except it may not have been racist, just some very upset idiot fans that went to far, it just seems some people even when told it’s not racist for some unknown reason still wants it to be.

EchoNan · 16/07/2021 11:13

Rousette he is cute. And it's given me a smile
I'm impressed at almost 50 per cent of the vote.
I hope some of them were Man City supporters. Grin

( No surprises there!)

Lol. Because the police are the authority on everything "racial".

Also pleased to see Rashford and Sancho have gone off on holiday together to Caribbean. Ahead of the footie season starting. And far better than going to No. 10 to have Johnson jumping on the bandwagon.

I just knew that wasn't going to happen.

Glad to hear that. They must think this country is so shit. Bet they couldn't wait to escape.
