Noticed Windass just posted links to another site that does just this, but twitter is just to big now, Said this for a few years now ... Accountability. Verification Its the only way to clamp out fake accounts, bots, twitter trolls etc .. some of the stuff that's been posted in the last couple of years, as social media becomes more prevalent and gives those vile beings a voice is absolutely horrific and people get away with it .. more action is being taken but there is still plenty to be done ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Flashman Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 A university has withdrawn an offer to a student following racist abuse towards England players after the Euro 2020 final. Video footage from a Snapchat group chat circulated on Instagram, with one individual heard using racist language towards Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, who each missed penalties in the shootout at Wembley. A spokesperson from Nottingham Trent University said: "This allegation does not involve an NTU student. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, including racism. "We looked into this matter immediately and as a result have withdrawn an offer to an applicant." Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good.

0wl18 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Here we go again. This time on the continent. FIFA should be held accountable for this. The Hungarians are banned from attending the stadium in all UEFA competitions. Why haven’t FIFA extended that ban to their own competition in a show of solidarity? UEFA: Naughty Racist Hungarians. No fans at your next few home games. FIFA: You weren’t racist at one of our games, don’t worry about it, get yourself in lads. Sends a fantastic message. FIFA will spout the same unity testicles that they always come out with. If they really mean it, they’d change legislation which means that any nations fans are banned from ALL football matches if an authority finds them guilty of racial abuse.

owlinexile Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 They only punish racists from countries where it's not going to cause a fuss because the majority of people in that country will agree that they deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Just ridiculous as usual. How simple would it be to just issue points deductions to nations like these. Fines and stadiums bans are complete token gestures. Dock them points and this stuff would begin to end if it was the difference between qualifying for a tournament or not.

Stadium bans should absolutely be used, I do agree though, they don’t go far enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 They should be kicked out of the competition; the Hungarian F.A. and Government simply don't care and virtually encourage it. FIFA Aren't bothered either, like the social media companies they just come out with sound bites. I also believe to stop taking the knee gives in to these scumbags and the organisations that protect them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely they would close ranks and start moaning about having decadent Western liberal values imposed on them. And then FIFA might lose some funding and they can't have that! That's why they will only ever punish countries where the populace and government generally agree that racism/homophobia/whatever is bad. The world cup being in Russia and then Qatar is more than enough proof that FIFA dont actually give a throw about actually championing any real values. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 When we took the knee last night was one of my highlights of the game. To see the pain and hurt in those racist shitbags faces was tremendous. UEFA and FIFA need to stop dicking about, deduct some points, close off grounds for a year, make them play their home games in Africa for a bit. Do something that is going to actually upset the team/country/fans that do it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
