Not much mention of that fact that it was about 30 degree heat at Wembley today.

Re: England v Croatia
I’m not joining & protesting in groups such as WLM in my mind everybody should be equal, no race should be better than any others, it’s a problem when you are saying BLM when all lives should matter. 1 race is saying it should matter we should all be equal.milkcrate_mosh wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 11:01 pmTyrone Mings probably hates people like you, that doesn't mean he hates white people.

Re: England v Croatia
That got my back up initially with the woke/BLM retort I didn’t want to deflect this into another BLM thread that’s why I never mentioned this directly, anyway it’s unfair to I’d rather talk about the football specifically England & Croatia, like I said I’m not protesting WLM I think we should all be equal, Tyrone mings is with the BLM saying his race matters that’s not me, wrong guy. Goodnight for good.

Re: England v Croatia
No you're just defending the abuse of black footballers on the iinternet. I recall a complete lack of sympathy for Marcus Rashfords abuse as well.Jakubclaret wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 11:07 pmI’m not joining & protesting in groups such as WLM in my mind everybody should be equal, no race should be better than any others, it’s a problem when you are saying BLM when all lives should matter. 1 race is saying it should matter we should all be equal.
If you're not prepared to call out racism against black people but can't shut up when people protest against the injustices black people face you've made your position clear.
Edit: a wander through your post history also shows you defending Tommy Robinson and his fans, Donald Trump, Katie Hopkins, Godfrey Bloom from allegations of racism. Downplaying racial abuse of Marcus Rashford, Danny Rose.
The people you have been happy to suggest are racist are Tyrone Mings and Barack Obama...
Re: England v Croatia
There's no chance you say that to his face I'm sorry but not because he's huge and would probably slap you silly but I don't think you'd have the bottle. In my opinion that is I might be might be wrong.Top Claret wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 8:50 pmHate to say it because I can't stand the woke, BLM ******, but he was excellent.
Oh forgot to mention his name Mings

Milkcrate, meet Jakub. If you can get past the superficial stupidity, there’s some really profound stupidity underneath.

Re: England v Croatia
There seems to be a basic lack of understanding of the phrase "black lives matter". It isn't "black lives matter more". In a football context, no player derseves getting bananas thrown at them, or horrible insults thrown their way because of the colour of their skin. And I ignore the societal context to keep it simple, but if you believe no player should be subject to that abuse then why undermine it. I can see that for some people, they see groups of their own ethnicity being treated poorly, either by government or society in some way. But those causes, be them absolutely valid or otherwise, aren't or shouldn't be a reason to stand stead against another cause battling to stop the abuse of the black community. Support it, and where you see other injustices support those too. You don't have to slate one campaign to make your voice heard about another.

I believe in a fair equal society without excluding other races, if you can’t understand that concept that’s down to your education or should I say lack of it, all lives matter regardless of colour.

Re: England v Croatia
It’s not an anti racism gesture ( 99.9% not) that people object to ,it’s the rather bizzare issue of telling the 10’s of millions of English football fans they’re racist when we have ( for donkeys yes now) had the most tolerant supportive non racist fans and grounds in world football . Some ignorant drunken friendless loser sending a banana emoji to Rash/Sterling etc does NOT mean English fans are racists . We’re a hugely tolerant country and a murderous American cops behaviour shouldn’t dictate how we’re told to act .willsclarets wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 12:43 amThere seems to be a basic lack of understanding of the phrase "black lives matter".

If Mings is man of the match in the next 2 games and then Maguire is fit after the group stage, Maguire walks straight back in.

I have been seriously impressed with Mings. He has got absolutely everything. Just needs to stop being clumsy and he will be a top CB.
His pace and power surprised me.

He's 28, not 18. Bit late to suddenly become a top defender.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 8:39 amFair enough,

Top defenders rarely make the mistakes he does. Look at the likes of Rio Ferdinand and John Terry. Two of England's finest, and you'll see what I mean.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:01 amI would say given his meteoric rise over the last 3 seasons he definitely can still be a top defender.

Re: England v Croatia
As I’ve said before I think BLM are a racist organisation against white people, some white people are racist against black people, it is actually possible that some black people are racist against white people. It’s always talked about the white man being racist towards the black person, it’s never discussed it’s almost as if we don’t want to admit it happens the other way around through fear of offending, racism isn’t a 1 way street.BabylonClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:02 amReally. ******* really?

Re: England v Croatia
To be fair for all there ability, Mings has done something they never could.
He has kept a clean sheet and won the first game at the Euros.
In all seriousness Mings has been great with England.
He’s kept 9 clean sheets in 11 games
Re: England v Croatia

Re: England v Croatia
The irony is I think you’ve missed the point, that post wasn’t necessarily referring to mings within himself but the black people as a whole race, some black people are racist just as much as the white man is racist, we can pretend that’s not true or we could alternatively accept that as fact. Racism comes in all shapes & sizes & all colours unfortunately.

Re: England v Croatia
No-one is saying that 10s of millions of English football fans are racist. People are questioning the motives of a minority of people who think activiely opposi g an anti-predjudice awareness campaign is a generally alright thing to do and then wonder when they are asked if they support prejudice.AlargeClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 8:09 amIt’s not an anti racism gesture ( 99.9% not) that people object to ,it’s the rather bizzare issue of telling the 10’s of millions of English football fans they’re racist when we have ( for donkeys yes now) had the most tolerant supportive non racist fans and grounds in world football .

Saying that booing the taking the knee is effectively a strike against an injustice perpetrated against decent white people is bizarre.
I still have to see an explanation of why people who.purport to be against prejudice actually fight against an action that a group of people want to take to oppose prejudice. Its counter intuitive

Re: England v Croatia
I watched ITV for the game. I don't think they are racist but as a white man I felt under-represented in all the studio guests being black (Wright, Cole, Townsend, Aluko) plus 2 white women (an interviewer and Emma Hayes) & the white man presenter. Clearly, box ticking political correctness decisions. Can we now turn it on its head and say they are racist towards whites? There was no balance on that panel. I thought Hayes & Aluko were the most interesting and articulate to listen to. Wright & Cole unbearable. Why was Townsend there again?
I thought the whole point of this debate and social equality over the last few years has been to highlight balance and representation of society. I didn't see that there.
