Envy or jealousy ?

Paul Heaton is playing an outdoor gig just down the road from us tonight.

It's in a great setting, loads of good pubs on the doorstep, the weather forecast is terrific and you can take your own beer in. It sold out very quickly, but I got offered a pair of tickets for face value last night. Suggested it to my missus who is a big fan of indie music. She looked at me, and said "you must be mad". I asked why, she said "it will be full of folk who have been on the beer all day watching the England game. If they win, there will be beer flying everywhere and loads of drunken ********s. If they lose, it will be full of the same drunken ********s looking for a fight."

Sadly she is right, so we are giving it a miss. England fans and loads of drink is a pretty bad combination.

Yep, that’ll be because we’re all the same :thup:

😂😂😂

Yeah, if only there was some evidence that Scottish football fans drank too much and got violent. Mongtards come in all shapes, sizes, colours and nationalities. The idea that they don't cross borders is faintly laughable 😂

Yawn. Lazy stereotype much?

Yeah and all Scottish people wear a kilt and sporran every day, spend their spare time playing the bagpipes, have red cheeks and a red nose from drinking too much whisky and have a diet which purely consists of haggis and deep fried Mars bars.

Stereotypical racist claptrap!

Stereotypical racist claptrap!

Why is it racist ?

It maybe a bit too generic but let’s be honest there are plenty of incidents of England fans causing issues through drinking when the game is on - social media is awash with fights and incidents from the last match , even my home town had incidents and arrests with the pub ending up being closed early

It’s a pretty fair assessment from his wife when you looking at how people are reacting -

It’s most certainly not racist

You're right. It isn't.

It's xenophobic claptrap.

It happens everywhere. To portray it as an “England only” problem is just a lazy load of old rubbish.

Replace the word 'English' with Black, Muslim, Pakistani etc. and what's the difference?

If he'd had said 'football fans' or even just 'people', then yeah, he may have had a point. But no, he didn't did he?

 

[Deleted member 15344]

His comment is not racist - what he described is exactly what happened the other day at a local pub - England fans on lots of drink celebrated and beer was everywhere and it ruined people’s night who were there having a drink , a smoke bomb was also let off meaning the pub was also evacuated.

He said England fans and its England fans that are doing it and have been doing it for years - every single tournament until now has had issues with England fans causing probs Home and away - it’s not racist to say that for goodness sake - it’s just a fact. Yes other fans will also have issues but he isn’t going to encounter them on a day out in England.

It’s not racist to say that at times England fans react in a manner that affects others around them - it’s a proven fact and there are yearly examples of it all over the place

Far too easily people throw around the racist tag - all it does is devalue real racism

Must've been a big pub if all the England fans were in it. Strange, as I've completely forgotten it.

It's not "England fans"

It is "Football fans"

For example, if I said that all Scotland fans were thuggish women beaters I'd be wrong. It's just a small number of old firm fans. And I recognise that 👍

 

[rudebhoy]

Yep, that’ll be because we’re all the same :thup:

when did I say that? the majority will be ok, but there will be a sizeable number of yahoos getting lairy.

 

[rudebhoy]

Stereotypical racist claptrap!

that really is a pathetic comment.

we both know it kicks off with England fans at every major tournament, home and away. there will be a sizeable minority who turn up at this gig, having been on the beer for 5 or 6 hours, acting like a bunch of yobs.

 

[rudebhoy]

You're right. It isn't.


It's xenophobic claptrap.

It's xenophobic claptrap to suggest there will be loads of 20-30 year old lads beered up and acting like tw@ts tonight? I'd have said it's a certainty.

You can obfuscate all you like, but my point still stands about the word change.

Read what you posted, you said “full of england fans” not a minority or sizeable number.
You get a little bit of trouble at most music festivals or in South Shields on a saturday night. Who do you blame when England aren’t playing?

No, it doesn't. Only in your head it may do because it suits your agenda.
You really need to stop digging, you're making yourself look ridiculous now.

it does happen occasionally, but nowhere near as often as it does with England. I went to Seville to see Celtic in the UEFA Cup Final, there was 80,000 of us there, and not a single arrest, in fact our fans won an award from FIFA for being the best in the world.

I've also been to Perpignan for the last 2 years to watch Leeds Rhinos, there have been 3 or 4 thousand fans there, all English, all on the beer, and all perfectly behaved. The contrast between them and English football fans was unbelievable.

This is the Mouth of The Tyne Festival, 4 Day concert, sold out months ago.
Who bought the tickets? England fans hoping we’d be playing in the Q/F or music fans, thousands attending.
Not your local pub with a few nkobheads.
You really must stop tarring every England fan with the same brush.

not me throwing the "racist" card around.

If you really think it doesn't kick off at every major football tournament, I'd be happy to post a few links to prove you wrong.
