Was going to post that link today myself, I think the claim went over JRS's head in the first place tbh... as he conflated evidence backing the claim (re: Somali LARPers) relating to the small number of tweeters posting directly on the tl on twitter and the claim relating to foreign accounts - including those just spamming monkey emojis on Instagram etc.. The thing is I'd already mentioned Southgate's comments in the post re: the accounts mostly being overseas and anyone could have seen that in his interview.

Well, no. I'm hanging a lampshade on the word 'evidence' being used in that way. Additionally, he would be one of the first to call two Twitter accounts not enough 'evidence' if you were arguing against a point that he made.

If I have misjudged you and in fact you would take two Twitter accounts as evidence of something then I humbly apologise :)
 
That is literally on the same level as attack helicopter as a "gender". Yet when people claim that they say they are trolling :p

There is no logic to any of this.

Again, it seems to have gone over your head. There were a handful of Twitter accounts posting racist comments on the tl.
As can be seen via web archive or by simply scrolling further down the tl of those accounts two of them were seemingly changed - display name and profile pic.

You do understand what web archive is right? That’s pretty clear evidence those two accounts were fake/trying to impersonate being racist England fans.

If you have an issue with that evidence then go ahead and explain what it is.

Again you don’t seem to have grasped that there were only a handful of these on Twitter in the first place. I saw about 4 or so going viral, two of them (so half) clearly fake…

Secondary to that I also pointed out that of the social media accounts posting racist replies, i.e. monkey emojis etc.. the vast majority were overseas accounts, you’ve conveniently ignored that bit, there were more than a handful of those -circa 100 or so seems to be the reported figure.

Having been on the pitch in the heat of battle/adrenaline, somewhat trumps existing statistics, pitch was wet too; Greolich with his aggression would be a no brainer, as #4,
to provide confidence if #3 missed. I don't remember how many takers did Italy bring on, cold, in comparison.

What experience do you have of managing football teams? Do you know the players personally? Have you ever planned a penalty taking order in a final? Do you really think race was a factor?

Depends doesn't it, there was a lot of rhetoric coming into the final.

There were some i guess pro blm posts or tweets or whatever showing only the black England players with captioning like, "You man still booing or nah?" Pre shoot out of course.

Also tik tok videos with highly diverse crowds of people chanting, 'give it to the black guy, he'll score' over and over again as rashford went up to take his penalty. That quietened off fairly quickly as he struck the post. Dont know if they continued for the second and third ones the video ended.

They weren't chanting give it to the English guy he'll score.

Why did Maguire go ahead of Rashford if it was about race? Are you doubting Rashford and Sanchos experience and stats? Have BLM falsified their stats? lol

I'm not sure I should even converse with you on this, given that you think race is a factor in anything and everything where there are non-white people involved.

Maguire certainly made a more convincing kick though lol. Maybe the ball was racist.

Probably :D

Anyway back onto the wokery topic, apparently there is yet another new sexuality, demisexual:

https://www.theguardian.com/society...s-tell-us-how-sex-drenched-society-has-become
That’s according to Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, the 23-year-old daughter of the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, anyway. In a recent Instagram livestream with the former CEO of a health company, Kennedy-Cuomo talked about being queer, noting that when she first came out she worried that people would think she was attention-seeking, since it’s “hip or cool to be not hetero in my liberal bubble”. Kennedy-Cuomo then went on to say that after flirting with bisexuality and pansexuality she has decided that the identity that most resonates with her is demisexuality.

The guardian journalist is quite right rather cynical:

Last time I checked, demisexuals weren’t exactly an oppressed minority fighting for equal rights. They are just people who aren’t sexually attracted to others unless they form a strong emotional bond with them first. (Congratulations, some of you may suddenly have realised that you are not actually the boring hetero you thought you were – you are an exciting demisexual! You even get your very own flag!)

Putting aside the dubious notion that you must be boring because you, as a bloke don't fancy buming other blokes or as a woman don't fancy a bit of scissoring or muff diving the journalist has got a point there.

I mean they've basically created a new sexuality to describe perhaps a significant portion of (most straight women) who aren't into hookups... and now it somehow counts as "queer" and part of LGBTQ...

Maybe they should coin another sexuality to describe people who are into hookups and then literally everyone can be part of LGBTQ.

It's kind of like the whole "non-binary" thing, especially when the person declaring themselves to be non-binary carries on using gendered pronouns and doesn't really alter their appearance... because that's still valid apparently - you can be a masc-non-binary (seemingly a bit of a contradiction) and use he/him or he/they pronouns... and yes, you count as "trans" and part of LGBTQ despite not having transitioned/changed anything about yourself or necessarily even your pronouns, just a simple declaration that you're non-binary is all that is needed.

No definitely i already said this n the other footy thread rashfird was a pen taker for utd I can completely understand why he took one. I just don't get why he didn't come on sooner.

I dont understand people chanting, 'give it to this or rmthat race guy he'll score ' though. Seems a bit us and them despite it being 1 england team.

Rashford has been carrying injuries for months so I guess he wasn’t pushed, plus it would have meant taking Kane off. No idea why Sancho didn’t get more game time though, again perhaps trying to avoid injury ahead of a big move?

No idea about the people you saw, plenty of idiots about with their own opinions. See GD for many examples of fools.
