Pathetic support up North for the lions in the awful blue kit. Rashford and Mings need to put more effort in. Best players are Ben White and Jack Greaish and worst of all is taking the knee. Well done everyone that boo'd. You listening Southgate?
Personally i thinks its a good thing that people can discuss difference of opions on this forum. I would hate to think that people get shut down and silenced on there opions (like they do at Universities).
Its not as if people have resorted to name calling or this topic has got out of hand is it...

Well, Mr Northgate Red has managed it with some creative acrostics, but it was pretty mild.
On reflection, I feel it would have been better to adopt a different way of showing anti-racism in football, because the kneeling was already taken by a quasi-political movement.
Both teams standing together with linked hands would have looked good, but covid put paid to that - even though there is more contact during the game.
Clueless Mings. Useless player. Ben White should replace him. Disgraceful comments. Patel knows exactly what she's talking about. Try sticking to playing football.

You are an utter bellend. A 5 second gesture against racism and discrimination upsets you so much? Get a f***ing life.
Lets acknowledge that over the last half- century England fans have made progress...
...it used to be completely standard for a large section of the England crowd to jeer any black players who played for England...
...whereas now it is just a minority in the England crowd, who jeer players in their own side of any color, that offer a small gesture of solidarity with their own teammates...!

and going back even further Everton fans used to refer to themselves by colour and it wasn't blue!
Why did England need to stoke up Hungary fans by taking the knee what harm would not doing it one game have been? Hungary fans hold up no taking knee banner aka no politics in football.

Are you for real? “Hungary fans”?
The England players showed class (and consistency by not giving in to bullying).

The " knee" business, was always a contrived, politicised and provocative stance, not least an offence to individuals of a religious persuasion eg the only entity worthy of bending the knee to, is God. Some sports players of colour have refused to cooperate with this business, for that reason. In itself, it is a form of bullying , to force all players to perform this act. The "powers that be", could have adopted a much less controversial/ offensive gesture, to indicate their feelings, such as an announcement over the stadium PA, giving a statement supporting diversity, then the players clapping.

Calm down; this politicising of sport and it seems, every aspect of life these days, simply has no place in a balanced and reasoned society.

You are right, it is insensitive... just like when Gareth Southgate thought that he would deliberately antagonise decent England fans with his choice of penalty takers in the Euro final...!

And you're talking crap too. Go away and leave the grown ups to it. Taking the knee is a simple anti-racism gesture, that the players themselves choose to do. But according to you an anti-racism gesture has no place in a balanced and reasoned society. Oh dear.

You are an aggressive, fanatical little fella, aren't you!

You took that as aggressive? Jeez, easily offended aren't you? Fanatical about Crawley Town, yes. Anti-racist too. Does that make me fanatical? So glad I don't live in your world.
