Not denying there’s a lot of racism in english football etc etc

But most of these messages to players are from 12 year olds from the middle east or indonesia or some shyt.

No amount of ‘education’ from ineffective anti-racism orgs is ever going to help with that.

Messages like this really fukk with people ? :dwillhuh:

I’d laugh,block and do some rich people shyt after



It's the volume and I doubt this is the first time he's received abuse, at some point you get tired of it. Zaha mentioned he blocked 50 accounts.

On the whole I think they have drastically revamp how social media operates. I don't know if requiring an ID is the next step or making platforms invite only.

ID have to be mandatory imo.

Its very easy to say just ignore them but I dont think you can imagine the volume of these types of messages on social media. twitter in particular is an absolute cesspool.


Also anti racism orgs are ineffective because they have next to no real support. They are being used to just show that these institutions are thinking about the issue but not actually doing anything about the issue. There is no real consequence for racism. Not going to say its football's issue to fix as its a societal issue but football cannot ignore it either.

I mean this is cool and everything and would probably help but it’s the start of going down a path we don’t really want to go down.

After the big social media platforms, what’s next, forums like this?

I mean i don’t wanna sound like a conspiracy nut thinking next up is microchips in our head but it sets an unnerving precedent.

And i say this as someone who isn’t really bothered about being overly private online(i use my name on twitter/insta etc).

The social media companies need to be forced to take more accountability somehow though so it’s tough:manny:

Why not? I don't think anyone should be allowed anonymity in an online public forum. Everyone should be held accountable for their actions online just as you would be in person in a public place. :yeshrug:

Newcastle United who can't win for shyt have beaten Everton, the most unpredictable/predictable team in the league (Along with Man Utd) home and away.

Nah its just Everton being Everton.
I feel disgusted by thinking that they would be title contenders, never being reactionary again. :hhh:

But I think it's the clubs DNA to bottle everything. Top 4 in 2014, Champions League 2005 (Probably blame ref but Forlan was a beast :wow:) FA Cup Final in 2009 and probably more.:mjlol:

If Jose wins a trophy with Spuds, he's completed his mission.

I agree with the second part 100%. People should be held accountable, social media is real life.

I do however think people should be allowed anonymity if they want it and aren’t c*nts online.

It’s hard to make these two work together though.
