UEFA EURO 2021 #2

Yes, there was loads of sympathy for the lads who are a credit to England. I’m Scottish and my husband is Italian, we were supporting Italy in our house but that doesn’t mean we can’t feel for the players as individuals.

I’m a Scotland fan who has travelled with the Tartan Army in the past to attend games. Can safely say we wanted an Italy win in this house!

You’d have to have a heart of stone not to have a bit of sympathy for the guys who missed the pens, though. At least Southgate knew how they felt.

An update from Twitter on the racism on Twitter after the final

More Euro 2020 racist abuse came from UK than other countries and 99% were not anonymous, says Twitter

Data from the UK Football Policing Unit found that of 207 social media posts deemed to be criminal, 34 came from accounts in Britain and 123 in other countries.

The 11 people arrested were all English. How can that be, weren’t they all supposed to Scottish?

Fuck sake. Italy are all over us

Bloody hell I don’t know how these players do this? I’ve had to switch it off. When Liverpool won the champions league in 2005 on penalises my mum went and sat in her greenhouse at the top of the garden because she couldn’t look

Everytime the camera goes to Southgate I swear In my imagination I can hear that gum being aggressively chewed

Hey folk, just want to add that as a Scottish lass I was cheering you all on. Disappointed you didn't win. I'm Scottish & British & proud to be both. When push comes to shove we are in it together. Boys did well and Prince George

yes girl!! Thank you

 

[Laura VanderBooben]

I couldn’t decide if it was her or not!!

Is her yes.

If grealish scores and wins this for us I'll name my first kid Jack middle name Gareth

That's an excellent name for a boy. Let's hope you get chance to use it! #cannotcopeanymore

I heard they were going to donate the winners prize pool to the NHS staff…. Do they still do that for being runners up?

 

[Web30]

Arse!!

 

[Fifah1907]

What are your thoughts on the Alice band though? It's a no from me.

I really like it I have shit taste though ahaha

 

[bellinibobble]

The amount of yellow cards fucks sake

Gonna cheer myself up with a magnum

 

[PrincessCharming]

Private I think but yes absolute pond life and I hope they throw away the key.

He must have his job mentioned on his social media pages or people wouldn’t have been contacting his employer. What a total melt.

I thought everyone knew not to mention their work online.

 

[Merpedy]

Wonder what the average height of both teams is

The Italians seem tiny

 

[thegirlscout]

When Norwich and Ipswich play the away fans get a police escort out and away from the stadium to prevent any fights - I don't know why the same hasn't been done to protect the Italy fans!

That shouldn’t be happening, that the fans are so rabid the other supporters need an escort! Why does this happening in football? You don’t get it in tennis. Cricket and rugby you may get one or two but it’s never this bad.


Savills has responded to the racism from their employer (allegedly he’s using another account but could just be a rumour on Twitter, either way hope they fire him).

 

[StephenTJackson]

Heartbroken.

 

[smellsofbiscuits]

All the sweet snacks chat has got me raiding the kids' sweets

I can see this going to extra time, lads.

 

[Morty]

Never hesitate and slow the momentum when taking penalities! That cost us big time.

Gormless fucking southgate
