Envy or jealousy ?

Well the past few pages has little or nothing to do with the original post.

How often on The Forum does the original post go completely off track?

Far too often is the answer.
It'd be a dry, attritional place if everything stayed completely on track. There'd be maybe 6 or 7 posters constantly telling each other to get lessons or get custom fit. If that's the way people want it then you're all welcome to it 👍😂
 
Show me where I said "every England fan" and I'll apologise. Of course, if you can't, then you should do likewise for the "racist" comment. Fair enough?

England fans and loads of drink is a pretty bad combination.

😇😇😇

Now, if you'd said "Football fans". We'd have all agreed and moved on. But you didn't. You singled out a Nation (not a Race). The inference being that all other football fans are fine. But England fans are a bunch of hoolies.

By the way, to set your mind at rest. I got back from the pub ok. No cuts or bruises. I haven't beaten the wife yet. 👍👍

Dear me. I'm in England. My original post was about the prospect of England fans being on the drink all day, then rolling up at an outdoor gig 100 yards from the pubs and acting all lairy.

You read that as me singling out a nation? What if I said instead "drunken football fans celebrating an England win"? Is that better?

Laughable mate, get off the offended bus.

Trust me. I'm not offended. That's a lazy cliche used by people who don't know better. If you ever meet me you'll find that it's almost impossible to offend me 👍

You're post was poorly worded and you should just acknowledge that. Some England fans are cockends. As are some Scottish, Irish, Welsh, French, Italian, German etc.

You do seem to have a perfectly balanced pair of chips regarding the English though. Maybe something you need to consider 👍


Oh, and FWIW, my mother is German and my Dad is Irish. Not sure exactly how that fits into your narrative but the downside is I got my humour from the German side and my drinking from both 🤣
 
What they done? Nothing on news channels?

Mrs BiM found it on Facebook; emptied out into the street the worse for it, climbing onto the roof of an in service double decker bus, then jumped from that onto a bus shelter and went straight through it before wandering off, leaving the fare paying passengers to pick up the bill for the damage. Utter knob.

Seems an emergency response vehicle was trashed by people “celebrating” in London yesterday
 
I don’t understand why the need to post isolated incidents of morons misbehaving, no one denies we have them.
Ambulance crews were stoned in the midlands recently after being called out to an emergency, these incidents happen up and down the Country every weekend.

Only in England mate. We're all scum and we should hang our heads in shame.
 
Is this world cup thing not done not done yet ;)

For what it's worth, I see England getting past Croatia but I fancy both France and Belgium are a step above and see the winners being whoever wins that semi.

There was quite possibly 20 million people supporting England yesterday. I would bet there’s less than 00001% of them being idiots.

Youtube has pics of how the Spanish police dealt with over exuberance in Benidorm yesterday. Picture how they dealt with the independence rallies in Barca. As well as wielding batons, they also fired shotguns.:eek:

Plus it was idiotic celebrations that over stepped the mark, it wasn’t just in London, Hull had roads blocked, Nottingham had a car damaged.
Don’t forget the Ikea store were they danced on the beds.
Not excusing any of the bad behaviour, but it wasn’t hooligans on the rampage, it was your normal scumbag.
