Nobody has an issue with the emotion being shown. It’s the fact that they 1. Set up a camera, 2. Overplayed their reactions for social media, and 3. Hooked it up to the inter web, looking for likes, shares and subscribes, and probably an interview with Sky Sports. The England football team really does appeal to a bizarre mix of egotists and racists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 2nd from the right on the top row is Brendan O'Neil and I'd expect a Spiked article soon about how the metropolitan elite arresting white working class men is actually racism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the commentary says, Maradona just walks away from Hoddle who has no interest in chasing, the next guy is half arsed at best, two defenders pretend to make an effort but don't really, then everyone just ignores the best player in the world jogging into the box before Hodge blindly plays the ball over his head into the most dangerous possible area. Finally handball or not, Shilton should not be getting out jumped by someone about a foot smaller than him. Glorious. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can end up thinking that a lot watching football from the Eighties. It's funny how the game changes between eras. I seem to remember reading that in the 19th century, the players just pinged the ball about between each other and there wasn't an awful lot of running involved. Might cause a man to drop his pipe, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years ago one of the football magazines wanted to show how the game was a lot more physical in the old days, so they got a then-current referee to watch the 1970 Chelsea-Leeds FA Cup Final and note down all the times he would have booked a player or at the very least awarded a free-kick where the actual ref had seen nothing wrong, leaving out of course technical changes like the keeper picking up a passback. At the end of the game, both teams would have been down to about six men and one guy would have been sent off four times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
