ThomasPaine posted:There's nothing more cringy than people who think they're above a sports game. It's cool if you're not into it, whatever, but there's nothing to admire about being a pretentious misery-guts. The England football team is not the British government and it's nice sometimes to find something to have fun with and feel good about. I am qualified to say this as I very much used to be that teenage arsehole who thought only dumbasses enjoyed it, and now I have very much realised that was my own very pathetic classist 'I'm not like most proles' subconscious attitude coming out. Football, however, is pure strain capitalism. Football means nothing to me, I don't enjoy or understand it, but if people enjoy it, knock yourself out. There is something inheritantly British about going crackers at a game, yet if the government installed oxygen meters tomorrow, they would roll their eyes and go. "Tsk."

On a more general note - if you let the shittiness of other fans of <thing> stop you from liking <thing> you'll basically never ever like anything good, and if you use the shittiness of those fans as a brush to tar all of the fans of <thing> you're probably not as good a person as you like to think you are.

In more stories about why the NHS is one of humanity's best creations; my partner was asked by her doctor to get a spinal MRI on thursday, and long story short she's currently in surgery right now. I don't know exactly how Covid has impacted the timeline for better or worse, but honestly it's been so fast from a doctor asking for a cursory MRI for their records, to an issue being identified, investigated, consulted with and acted upon. Obvs I'm right now unbelievably making GBS threads myself but am trying to distract myself with 9th Wonder of the Modern World the NHS

Glad to hear it's progressing fast and smoothly for your partner. Fingers crossed for a quick resolution and little to no recovery time for you both. Remember to make lots of Spinal Tap jokes to your partner once they're out of surgery.

I'm writing a polite but strong letter to kasper schmeichel to let him know the football is coming home after all. I do want him to know that it's a serious matter, but I don't want to seem threatening or angry, so I'm considering composing it with my green crayons and clippings from heat magazine. I hope everyone in the thread will join me in sending letters to kasper who, god willing, will become a friendly ghost.

UEFA needs to consider the possibility that Kasper was in fact emitting the spooky lasers.

Schmeichel was completely right, and you can (and should) support the Brave Three Lions while hating the British press. Yes, I know it's all bants.

serious gaylord posted:Posts like this are embarrassing. Eh you're right. I'm just feeling really fed up with football as its invaded every aspect of my work life as well as here and my home life. That's no reason to generalise about the fans who almost certainly are 95% decent happy folk and like anything else probably less than 5% twattery. I won't deny that watching the insane goal reaction videos from last night was quite entertaining.

I assume that the official UKMT position on anthems is that they should be booed at every opportunity given their significance to nationalistic brainworms? Start of a football game: boo away Olympic openining ceremony: boo away During BBC Proms: boo away Random TV commercial: boo away Queen's state funeral: boo away

Bobby Deluxe posted:Halal food has been completely vilified by the red tops, since the 'animal cruelty' angle is one of the few islamophobic corners left that they can still hide in. Kosher food is only being pushed to keep the antesemitism angle going. I doubt this has anything to do with actual religious requirements. Considering Halal and kosher ritual slaughter is essentially the same how does that fly?

Kneel and boo at the same time. Or sing something better to drown out the anthem.

They don't usually actually kneel during the anthem do they (even if that was the original idea behind it)? I thought they did it after.

Z the IVth posted:Considering Halal and kosher ritual slaughter is essentially the same how does that fly? There are differences between halal and kosher - not with the meat but with other items. For example you can have kosher wine but it would not be halal. Also kosher uses some gelatine and there's something to do with some sorts of seafood as well. So while muslims are often advised that they can eat kosher if halal is not available - kosher is more strict than halal on the whole - they have to look out for a special kosher mark which is the very strict kosher interpretation. And they still need to check for non-halal items. But yeah, essentially the big fuss in the papers was racism ( quote:gammon: 'but islam is not a race so it's not racism' (When I first moved to Cairo I couldn't understand why none of the shops had 'halal' in the windows (حلال) signs in the windows - a common feature of downtown Walthamstow.. took me a while to realize that just about everything was halal except in the specialist pork product shops catering to the Copts and expats.) * ed: VVV yes bigotry - I couldn't think of the word.
