Random Irritations

At East Midlands Airport it is the same story

For collecting people, it has led to all sorts of weird parking on roads within a few miles, while the driver waits for a call.

The FA bottling Kane wearing the pride armband.

They should have a full kit made in the pride colours and wear that instead.

The problem is, Kane walks on the pitch, he gets a yellow card. The ref asks him to remove it, he says no, he gets another yellow, he is sent off. They can't risk that, that isn't the fault of the FA.

Apparently 9 countries intended to wear them but they can't risk it. It will be interesting to see if the coaches wear them or whether the players wear them in the warm ups

A test case may be useful so, perhaps, if a team is winning comfortably, you send a sub on for the last 2 minutes wearing one to see if they get booked.

A protest is meaningless if there isn't a little jeopardy. A yellow card or even a sending off is nothing compared to being thrown into a jail cell.
If this World Cup is already a bit if a joke it seems like a good opportunity to let FIFA and the hosts destroy themselves by sending off and suspending the captains of 8 of the better teams. They'll have wrecked their own tournament.
At worst, make Maguire captain, let him get booked, substitute him. Point made, no harm done.

I think that is fine to say from here but you are asking a player, or multiple players, to risk missing out in a tournament that is the pinnacle of their career. Their absence could cost the team going through a round.

The time for protests was in the 12 years leading up to this. I don't expect players to be at the forefront of protests now.

Don't disagree with you entirely, but I can't think of a better time or better people to do it such that it can actually make an impact and force some progress.

FA could have done more though. Why not commission Nike to adjust the kit so that every shirt has the armband on it as part of the design. Can't book every player for that can they?? If that's our kit.

If you are going to do it, see it through; let the first captain be booked for wearing it, and booked a second time for not removing it; pass it to the next captain and repeat. 5 players in and the match is abandoned. Reduce the tournament to the farce it is.

people calling I'm a celebrity racist

Quite ridiculous! Plenty of horrific racism on show in society sadly but don't see it on the show. I just think the public have voted for the "celebs" who are more controversial and therefore good to watch rather than not voting for some because of the colour of their skin.

Indeed. I've not been watching bar the first episode but the two women who have gone out seem to be boring nobodies.

Add into the fact that those saying this rubbish don't understand how the voting works

You vote for who you want to keep in camp.

If it had been vote who you want to leave they might have a point ... (Might being the key word) but if your voting who you want to stay what your racist for voting for Mike to win because you find him funny or gill to win because she's really dry .. etc
