guinness Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Run of the mill free kick headed into his own goal under little pressure. Ukraine should have had a penalty. Think Wales will win this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Ramsey misses a sitter after the best move that Wales have put together in the match so far. Still, hard to see them hold out, I'd be surprised if Ukraine don't score at least one. 50 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Wales hit the Post on a rare visit up the park then Bale should have scored. Ukraine, like us last week, chasing the game giving the Welsh chances on the break. 76 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Wales defended superbly, better team lost but goals win games, Wales got a wee bit of luck, Ukraine didn't. Should have been a pen to Ukraine in the first half, when it's not your day its not your day. That's fitba. Roll on Wednesday, we go again.

antrin Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Agree with your latest post, above, Slarti… However… I was torn by a moral dilemma last night when considering the reception Engerland’s players got from the Hungarian “children”, at their latest match. it was almost as if I’d wished engerland had f**ked Hungary and not the other way round. Uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it not happened at certain domestic matches in England when teams took the knee?The problem is that I wouldn't think that they could prove that was why the booing occurred. It could be claimed they were booing their own players for not doing it, or any other reason at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, aye, poor Engerlund. To put it in a different context. A number of West European countries had colonies across the globe and through this a greater number of non white players in their ranks. The Eastern European countries didn’t and don’t. Doesn’t make it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As everyone (I assume) knows about colonialism and the associated immigration, I didn't see the need to include it and waste my time typing it. Having to type this reply has now negated that time saving exercise, so thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Context is everything and the context here is the history and experiences of the populations involved and how it will take longer to assimilate and change attitudes towards people with a different skin colour. We still have trouble in the context of two Christian sects who’s supposed adherents find it difficult to bury their past and , to a lesser extent, present difficulties even in a much more secular environment. In South Africa where 85% of the population is black and a further number describe themselves as Indian , people are still adjusting to changing circumstances. Speak there with people from each population group and you will find racism in each. History was white rule, context is the present reality which was born out of the past.

How can it be a "different" context when I never put any context in my post (due to the aforementioned "everyone already knows" situation)?

Context is conditioned by the history It is the here and now of the impact in this case - less contact @ less assimilation - more what we regard as outdated behaviours I attended an International Football Match in Durban , Kwa Zulu Natal just before the World Cup in S Korea and I think Japan. South Africa were going. The match was played at The Natal Sharks Stadium (Rugby and white) the crowd was 99% black. One man, one vote had happened some years earlier but Whites did not attend. A ticket cost around £1. Friends , both black and white, asked me if I knew what I was doing and how the crowd would be made up. I did and went. It was a thrill to hear the people there chanting Zulu and cheering on SA. If I recall correctly there were very few white players in the team. Thankfully both football and rugby have moved on over there with talent being the defining feature. East Europeans ( and I have a number of east Europeans in my family) aren’t there yet, just as Scotland isn’t there yet with the Sectarian thing.
