I sat next to a bunch of ****s up in the way and at Stoke when we won 4-0 a few years back, Kane and Son and Dele am scoring.

A few miscontrols and bad decisions from Son and it was enough for all the dvd and cat eating comments to start, it was disgusting. I tried to alert a steward but they didn’t give a shit. Then scored a worldy (his first of 2) and suddenly they were his biggest fans. Never forget how angry I was, didn’t enjoy one minute of what was a magnificent win, I hated that I tried to do something about it the right way and failed, and that because it was just me and my 60+ year old dad, neither of whom would be handy in a fight, I felt too intimidated to confront them myself.
I have used this a few times in the past Gin
Enduring the abuse of certain players endlessly but being a bit light on numbers (say 1 v 4) I have walked past said group and shouted to an imaginary friend "fvcking hell Dan how fvcking good was Son today fvcking legend"
Never had more than a quizzical glance from any of the morons but odd looks from "Dan"

Scouts are lazy and clubs will spend tens of millions on buying a player without watching lots of games and poring through the data? They’ll buy players with a collective insight lower than that of the average forum user ?

Surely bs.

dragon shit.

Davinson will have a lot of interested clubs. Look at Morata career for example

Ah yes I’ve done a lot of passive aggressive audible disagreement, that’s more my nature.

Mocking ITK are we? ?
Yes I am. « Scouts and agents are lazy they do not see what we see every week ». Instead they’ll spunk tens of millions based on a world cup three years ago. Mans acting like scouts are my wife and only tune in for World Cup and euros. Laughable really.

Whenever I look at these accounts I swear most of them are bots, it just so fucking weird. Who the hell makes a burner account just to racially abuse someone? The social media companies simply refuse to do anything substantial, resulting in heavy handed responses from government, almost like this is what the bots (Russians/Chinese) wanted. More civil unrest...and that is enough tinfoil for me :ROFLMAO:
IMO, it's not tinfoil hat material at all. As far as I'm concerned, it's quite clear that there's a desire among various segments of the population to sow racial division, but those segments are mostly not strange bots in faraway places nor are they the sources one might assume.

There's a clear example of this right in front of us: our own media in the case of race-based abuse of players on the internet. As I said in my post the other day, the vast majority of the abusive stuff actually comes from accounts in Asia and South America, yet the stories in the media all conveniently omit that detail because doing so makes domestic race relations look far worse than they are. The only reason you wouldn't specify such an important detail, whose omission inevitably and obviously reflects poorly on part of your native population, is if you want to demonise that population.

Racism comes from everywhere Europe Asian America Africa and everyone can be racially abused. The people that own facilitate and run social media haven't been responsible at all no tracking down of ip addresses, no censor, no ID sign up, its allowed to continue... Where's the accountability... None its become the wild wild west entertainment public lynching

Idiots will be idiotic bigots will be bigotry and an ostrich buries its head in the sand.
