Current Affairs London Protests

Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious

Genius that. In the headline writing world.

 

[COYBL25]

Was that the match that had the memorable headline in a Scottish paper?

Super Cally were terrific, Celtic were atrotious. Or sommet like that.

I remember the headline, it was in the Scum.

Mark Viduka refused to play the second half, as things where that bad in the dressing room at half time.

Barnes was sacked two days later and was described as “ being out of his depth “ which he conveniently forgets.

Should be interesting when they try to ban ‘Swing Low Sweet Chariot’ at the Rugby...yes, apparently someone has suggested that this happens........

To be fair, it is in the top 2 of bang awful sporting songs.

I dont consider "USA USA USA" to be a song.

The heat in England in spring can be unforgiving. One year, I distinctly remembering wearing shorts for a few days for work.

And taking a bottle of water in the van.

With all due respect and love...

We hit the 90s F (32C) for the first time this year back in March

Joking aside, hopefully protesters stay safe as we get into the warmer months.

I pray to God it is and those types get gone.

The thread is amazing

I hope they do all sack footy off. The game would be better for it.

Not really. Sol Campbell had a great career, is intelligent, played for England 70 odd times and the best managerial job he could get when starting out was Macclesfield Town.

Lampard had a great career, played 100 times for England, is intelligent and got offered the Derby County job when starting out.

Perhaps ......

Lampard spent the remaining years of his career preparing for management , learning from all the top managers he played under and worked his arse off to be a credible appointment by Derby.

Whereas sol Campbell didn't do that for at least 10 years after retirement before he decided to come back into the game as a manager.

Maybe one earned his job and the other expected to be given one?

All I will say is, while I'm personally not arsed and see it as harmless... you get national FA fines and threatened with suspensions if you wear a poppy, and the rules are clear the political declarations on kits etc. are not allowed.

So when you think about it, it is a bit mad they've done it given the precedent before.

Also, Black Lives Matter will turn out runaway Premier League top goalscorer after this.

Hate seeing tits like this supporting Everton



Defo sits in the Park End

a shame, watch this film mate and maybe it will change your mind on this, death penalty is and has been a disgrace

You've misunderstood.

The idea that the statement BLM is political baffles me.

Of course they matter.

That anyone would not just accept this is utterly beyond me.

The backwards, racist trolls are on the wrong side of history and can't stop the change.

And we have the poppy on our shirts every year.

 

[longers]

That's only in International matches though isn't it ? Players wear the poppy every year in the premier league hence why you always get stupid stories about how much of a wrongun James McClean is for not wearing one ?

Act Now to Defund The Police and Invest in Communities - Black Lives Matter

Enough is enough. Our pain, our cries, and our need to be seen and heard resonate throughout this entire country. We demand acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police. We call for radical, sustainable solutions that affirm...
