Euro 2021

Edit: and for Scotland to change their minds because of instructions from the English is beyond pathetic.

I don't believe that's why they've changed their minds.
I think they decided to protest in a different way.
But due to racists booing England taking a knee, they've decided to show solidarity by joining in.

Mebbe they like winding up racists.
I do.

I didn’t see it, but the directorial management won’t be the BBC’s as criticised above. In major tournaments, it’s usual for ‘home’ broadcasters (in this case, Denmark) to provide the kit, technical support, and franchise (?) the captured images to worldwide audiences as required, with visiting media teams (subject to local health rules this year) adding their own commentary and pish summarising. This will be particularly relevant where the tournament’s being held in mutiple locations rather than a single country as it is this/last year.

I’d imagine that there will be BBC crews at both UK venues being used for the 2021-20 bunfecht, and that some poor saps in Myanmar and El Salvador will get up in the middle of the night to watch it.

I’m glad to hear that the boy seems to be recovering.

Well done Finland too. I went to an HJK match when I was there in 2003. The match was OK, but the ‘occasion’ had all sorts of marketing ****e on the pitch as entertainment, which was pish.

Better get to bed Mason min, it’s Sunday tomorrow.

Preacher’s need their sleep too.

Anyway....back on topic. What's with that 'we' pronoun, eh?

[donsdaft]

No it isn't.
I never wear a poppy, I usually throw a few quid in the jar, and I have never, yet, booed onybody for wearing a poppy.

No
But try being a football player who doesn’t want to wear the strip with the compulsory poppy on it.

The only one I recall getting slaughtered is the boy McLean, the Irish winger, but there's different agendas in play there.

[donsdaft]

How many others dared to opt out though?

How many others dared to opt out though?

I really have no idea, how many have wanted to?

[donsdaft]

Nobody ever will know while this ridiculous pressure to confirm continues

[donsdaft]

I just hate joining in.
I also hate Sunday mornings when you wake up knowing that you spent your Saturday night p’ished and trying to pick a fight on Abmad.
