The cruellest part of society are children, who can abuse mercilessly. The worst area for abuse is social media.
Just like all lives matter, all abuse should be tackled.

in the old days that started in the play ground. now its gone from face to face to social media. as kids get a bit older and wiser they realize that school has sold em a lie. the world is not going to be their oyster where they can do anything they wish. could be a reason they then take to gangs and carry weapons around. there is nothing for them in the future and see everything they were told they could do being done by others who had the luck to be better educated. being black they see it due to the fact that they are in the minority that most of these jobs are going to the so called priveledged white. pretty obvious really as with 85 per cent of the population being white then 85 per cent of the jobs will be done by white people.

It would be interesting to find out if the job distribution works out like that but then the level and perceived importance of the jobs would be taken into account as well as educational levels of achievement and so forth. As usual the research would be so foggy that the researcher would end up disappearing up his own rectum.

North Macedonia for the win

Some weird self validation arguments following accusations of being lectured to and going off on a tangent as usual. Socialisation begins at home and not in the playground if that helps at all.

I’m perched here uncomfortably saying France for me.

It probably matches my assertion that education begins at birth.

I'll be well perched if Pools win.

Bizarre how threads can get so off-topic.

Honestly don't wanna be that guy, but does Switzerland even have one player who could only represent Switzerland? Not one player singing the national anthem either, embarrassing.

Stadium not even sold out either. Where has this Baku fetish came from UEFA? No offense to anyone Azeri but it's just not a football country. Completely out the way from the rest of Europe as well.

Baku/Azerbaijan is mainly known as a major producer of oil and natural gas. Enough said. Putting themselves on the map for a World Cup bid.

Terrible scenes at the Denmark / Finland game. Hope the lad pulls through. Reminded me a bit of the West v Morley game when my old mate Big John (Howe) collapsed, let's hope that the outcome is better for the Denmark player.

Same here mate. I was there at Morley when John Howe died and the incident is vivid in my memory. I remember the feeling of helplessness as it unfolded in front of us.
R I P John.

Just how busy are London's recycling team going to be tomorrow?? Any truth in it Nicola Sturgeon's to be in charge of stewarding for the auld enemy clash ??




Looking forward to this one.

Back in the day she could have sneaked in under the turnstiles.

Interesting that tickets for some matches were only sold to people either local or connected to the home national team, yet every game thus far has had a sizable pocket of away fans.

I follow a few scottish football clubs on twitter and from what I heard tickets for hampden were like goldust, so it must of been a real kicker then to see a good few hundred Czechs waving massive flags then.

I bring this up because I've heard London has had a huge tartan army presence for the past few days now, even though like scotland, wembley tickets were severely limited and from what I know only sold to England fans via an FA loyalty system?

Sadly I think this dubious ticketing bullshit will be the new norm when it comes to large scale football matches, and it sucks for genuine fans.

The media : Eeeeeh Jack Grealish
Betting companies : one pence free bet every time Jack Grealish is fouled
Pundits : I think Jack Grealish will do XYZ.
Gareth Southgate : *doesn't start Grealish*

That is why I love Gareth Southgate. A "manager" like Wag-oran Erikson or Woy would of started him for a laugh with the tabloids.
