Fuckin lol

I read some woman got offended, because he had a tattoo of a gun on his right lower leg, and wanted him off the national team, of course without knowing why he got it in the first place.

Fucking hell, people. Get a grip!

 

[Billargh]

Worse than that is Sky adding the word 'again' to his statement about never holding a gun, to "never holding a gun again". Absolute scum news.

Sky Sports apologise to Raheem Sterling over gun tattoo quote mistake

Fucking hell, people. Get a grip!

Unbelievable:

Lucy Cope, who founded the group Mothers Against Guns after he son Damian was shot dead in 2002 said: "We demand he has the tattoo lasered off or covered up with a different tattoo.

"If he refuses he should be dropped from the England team.

"We demand"? Fucking hell, the self-entitlement of these people.

 

[Scouse]

Yep. Fucktards.

TBH Sterling's a fucking idiot tho. Of course it was going to create a media storm. And do you really need an M16 tattoed on your leg to remind you never to touch a gun?

"Here ya go Raheem. I'm yer gun-toting mate. Have a shoot of this bugger eh?"

"Cool! Yes please! Oh, wait. Let me just check my leg..."




Each to their own tho...

 

[Moriath]

Think it was more he shoots with his leg / foot. Not a gun

Rather than reminding him not to touch a gun

 

[Scouse]

Not what Raheem said. The shoots with his leg thing was secondary.

Zinedine Zidane: Real Madrid boss stands down five days after Champions League win

and

Marco Silva: Everton appoint former Watford and Hull boss as new manager

Big news with Zidane, didn't expect that to happen. Maybe conflict with the Bale and Ronaldo sagas? But he seemed to be doing very well as manager.

Everton news, it's obviously been coming but you could say slightly dismayed... Have to see how our signings work out and hopefully play a bit more attractive. We don't want to be paying off three ex-managers until their contracts run!!

 

[Scouse]

Everton to face drop at Xmas, Big Sam to be parachuted in?

 

[CorNokZ]

Unbelievable:


"We demand"? Fucking hell, the self-entitlement of these people.

Exactly the quote I was referring to. Who are you til demand anything? You're admin of a Facebook group with a message most people can get behind, but that entitles you to exactly fuckall

 

[Embattle]

Zidane leaving isn't a total surprise since the nature of RM, Marco is overrated imo.

As for Sterling, I think there was an over reaction by some but I also think it is a stupid tattoo for someone in his position to have done.

 

[georgie]

Zidane might have won the CL but RM only finished 3rd in La Liga, 17 points behind Barca. I don't imagine that went down too well.

 

[Scouse]

Pushed...

 

[Moriath]

Tunisia player 'fakes injury' to end fast Lol

Yeah, I felt people were unfairly gunning for him.

Loris Karius: Liverpool keeper concussed during Champions League final - doctors

Scratching around for an excuse ?

Meh. He was treated for an off-ball incident caused by you-know-who.

But the story doesn't help his cause unfortunately.

I'm amazed by the amount of England flags on cars today as I drove around the city and suburbs.


As in fuckin none.

Ok less than five...all day and I was really looking...its over if you ask me.

He actually said both

not even bothering spending the extra 70 GBP (2 added channels) on buying the package from Bein this year. If Eng by some miracle makes it through the group stages I will go to the pub and watch it.

Just more fragmentation. It won't work for me either because Prime Ireland sucks.

I'm reasonably confident they'll get through the group; behind Belgium.

Winter break for Premier League clubs in February from 2019-20

Wtf. They get paid enough to play the season as it is tbh. And removing 5th round replays in the fa cup will potentially cost clubs further down the league in cash that they might otherwise have had from earning replays.

 

[caLLous]

You mean win fuck all?

(well aware that Tottenham also didn't win anything but the joke writes itself)

 

[Scouse]

Yeah. But it was fun whilst it lasted.

Been a long time since that was the case.
