UEFA European Championship 2021

I agree we should never be shy of commenting on such matters. I'm happy to know that my own club, Leyton Orient, have handed out a life ban to one such offender. Well done to the people who report these things to the clubs.

Anyway, for those who prefer football comment, Italy are now unbeaten in 34 matches and in those matches have only been behind for a total of 109 minutes - and 65 of those minutes were in the Euros final against England.

Snooks summed it all up for me really.

The Biggest problem is the online platforms are doing very little to combat and more likely to contiue to do so. What would it take for the platforms to finally in the way they should be on this? When one of those players is killed?

The one thing I would love to see happen is that this sort of abuse is finally treated as a real crime and is dealt with in court & a lifetime ban from internet access would be the ultimate deterrent for this. Definitely needs to carry a jail sentence.

If the platforms continue to shy away from this issue they are going to find governments will start imposing regulations on their business models which would have a deterimental affect on how they will operate. It is good that clube are hanfding bansd to these people but I think it has to be combated on all levels in society.

Shout out to Tyrone Mings who has called out Priti Patel for her hypocrisy.

Lando Norris had his watch stolen while at Wembley on Sunday. His Team say he was unharmed and James De Gale had his Olympic Gold Medal & MBE stolen from his parents house on Sunday as well

It's nice to mention too that in the whole tournament England only trailed for 8 min 53 sec (when they were 1-0 down to Denmark).

spectacular own goal (pardon the pun) scored by the government in response to this Tyrone Mings tweet basically saying Preeti knows about racism having experienced it herself and is taking action, which completely misses the point Tyrone is making

its far better than Saka who had never took a pen in his life,

No it isn’t as simple as that as many others have commented on who determined the penalty takers and the order they would take them. You however repeatedly condemn individual cricketers and footballers for what you perceive to be their mental weakness. There should be a special rock for you to crawl back under.

so how does what has happened and how it has been played out in social media, affect our ability to effectively stage another major sporting event in this country like the Euros, World Cup or Olympic Games? I would not be surprised if UEFA takes action against the FA which would probably be some kind of fine, but certainly think it doesn't help our bid for 2030 World Cup.We was going to put joint bid in witj Irealnd but can now see Ireland looking to team up Scotland for a joint bid. but would not be surprised if FIFA was to ban England fans from England away games. I can only hope the IOC will not be so hard on us.

Did see tweets from Savills concerning them making a 'full investigation' into one of it's employers who has sent a racist tweet, & haven't seen anything since to confirm if that process has been complete.

Not at senior level, but Saka's taken 3 penalties at youth level including 2 for England.

Your opinion's irrelevant anyway because it was never a choice between Saka and Sterling. Pickford, Phillips and Grealish all appear to have been ahead of Sterling in the pecking order, and Mount and Trippier would have been too if they were still on the pitch.
