Euros 2021

I agree that confronting strangers is probably an unwise choice of actions.

At the KP however they do have reporting procedures;

Matchday

If you believe that you have suffered discrimination or harassment, you should raise the matter through our reporting procedures.

Matchday Text Service

If you see or hear unacceptable behaviour on a matchday, report it. Please text 6066 starting your message with FOXES.

There are people we can challenge though ... friends!

if I had a friend who acted like that he would immediately become an ex-friend.

Wasn't there some report that alot of the racist messages came from outside the UK, so banning these people from going to football matches in the UK isn't going to be much of a threat.

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

And what might those circumstances be? I can't imagine anything which will excuse some of the events which have taken place.

The role of UEFA as effectively a supranational authority in dictating the revised schedule and logistics for the 2021 tournament, at a guess.

I assumed the club would have some sort of procedure. Would it be productive if the club sent this as an attachment, with every ticket sold. It's been a while since I've been to the KP, could they send a message as soon as your ticket has been activated at the turnstile?

So it's UEFA's fault? I can't imagine anyone believes that.

 

[jb5000]

Enabling the total nonsense narrative that football supporters in England are just a bunch of racists leads to this sort of shit.

I'm pretty sure that the mobs at Wembley, Trafalgar Square and online have lead to this shit. Let's blame them

 

[jb5000]

Precisely, I have this discussion with women who want good men to chase out the wrong 'uns good men are friends with.

We're not friends, and isn't it obvious why?

And what might those circumstances be? I can't imagine anything which will excuse some of the events which have taken place.

I imagine the fact that they had to hand over the ground and operations to UEFA for the tournament might be one of them, allegedly.

 

[Matt_B]

The problem is the type of ‘person’ you describe above isn’t going to take too kindly to a word in his or her shell like. A large proportion who pedal this filth are scum bags who unfortunately derive from scumbag families whose beliefs are passed down generations.

imprisonment and some other meaningful punishment is the only way that you may eradicate some of these behaviours from society.

I don’t have the answers to this but I am certain that discussing their actions with them is utterly pointless.

Perhaps if they were ostracised by their community and sacked from their jobs, they MAY be educated enough to keep their filthy opinions in their tiny, narrow mindset brains.

I honestly worry/think that a lot of the online racist morons aren't actually hardened racist, in that they don't necessarily believe the bile they spew. I think a number of them post it because they know it is the quickest and easiest way to achieve what they want - attention and to wind people up. I imagine there is a huge crossover between these posters and those posting misogynistic and homophobic shit as well. Anything to get a reaction.

Still ****s.

I would imagine that most people who post this sort of stuff have a VPN, so can "be" from wherever they want.

I think having a VPN might show a modicum of intelligence...

I don't think it's going to work.

Ahh, ghosts, that makes sense

 

[Matt_B]

I don't think it's going to work.

To be fair, if they did hand over operations, surely the lack of police presence etc would come down to UEFA, not the FA?

 

[Matt_B]

Also, the police are supposed to have intelligence on the actions of troublemakers and employ spotters etc. If this article is correct, how did they miss so much online planning?

[Lako42]

I'll be amazed if the online abuse is from people at the game.

It's ****ing stupid to say they will receive banning orders as punishment as they are all sitting at home.

This is not just a football problem

 

[Robin127]

...This is not just a football problem

But it's always been the scapegoat for the ills of society.

 

[Lako42]

But it's always been the scapegoat for the ills of society.

And so they will never tackle it.

 

[parafox]

**** off. We were all over them for most of that.

I apologise for this howler of a post

I have been to see the prime minister to resign as secretary of state for health and social care
