I’m looking forward to all the players who take the knee tonight for inequality, boycotting the World Cup in Saudi where it’s still punishable by death to be gay!

You've changed.
Remember you saying Qatar deserved it for years. It's almost as if you change your opinion based on who says the opposite.

It’s so weird & sad reading that players have been racially abused for missing their penalties. It never even entered my head that they were black. There really are some sad people out there & I hope social media have the balls to out them
As disappointing as it is to many, our "heroes" will support the good causes only as long as it is easy for them. Not many of the players will take a stand if it were to hit them in the pocket, or require more effort than just taking a knee for a few seconds or wearing a rainbow armband from time to time.
The old whiteboys on here will still claim they are the truly victimised.
We all know that if Kane had missed, he would get grief about his looks, speech etc. Thats what bullies do. They go for what makes you different to the norm. I'd wager a lot of them would be the exact same who are going after the 3 missers last night.

What does that mean ? I’m sure it’s pretty self explanatory but I’ve no idea about Twitter
A trend is a real-time popular topic. So basically, there's a few thousand people posting now about how Kane and Maguire scored their penalties and the others...well, you get the point.
I suspect at least half of the accounts aren't even British, but still.
