Originally posted by Matov Southgate is an utter tosser. And those players only care about their sponsorship endorsements.

And neither of us are ever going to change our minds with this divide in football now replicating what is going on in so many aspects of our lives. This is now truly the new normal. C'est la Covid.

But that team I played in still had pints in the clubhouse/pub after and still drank cans on the train back from away games having the same stupid laddy football banter that every side I’ve ever played for has. That was a collection of people from all over the world but we still got on brilliantly and team spirit was up there in any side I’ve played in. I find people with your outlook believe that everyone who looks different to you thinks differently too when it’s really quite the opposite. I have far more in common with my old teammates from Sweden, Ghana and Eritrea than I do with a lot of you old Brits on here. Generational difference is far greater than anything else.

Originally posted by DanH Yours comes from an actual fear of difference though. You fear other cultures and those who aren’t ethnically similar to you.

You see the world changing around you and you are scared because it doesn’t look the same as it did when you were a boy. We don’t fear this. We embrace the difference and listen and learn from those who are different to us and realise that hell, you know what, we’re not so different after all. We’re all just trying to love, be happy, and make a living to support ourselves in our families. It doesn’t make a difference where you are from, what you look like, what language you speak or what religion you may be. We all have way more in common than anyone might think or take the time to try and understand. You just ignore the actual statements and instead produce loads of hippy waffle.

Edited by Mapletree (08 Jun 2021 10.47pm) So let's say one refused to kneel. Or even worse, perhaps gave a visible indication that he considered the entire nonsense as being shameful. Would you respect his choice then? D "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.
