I’m merely asking for evidence of it which doesn’t include Twitter

Point of order, the police fitted up both the Guildford FOUR and the Birmingham SIXThe police once said that the Birmingham four were guilty
They weren’t so let’s see the evidence and we can decide for ourselves
Where is it?
Thanks for that and I was just making the point that because police say something it doesn’t mean that it’s truePoint of order, the police fitted up both the Guildford FOUR and the Birmingham SIX

Indeed.Or me

And the truth is that they were racially abused by people both in the UK and elsewhere.Thats your projection, most sane people just want the truth, remember that?
There is clearly a good deal of racism in this country. And it needs challenging every single day.You and others are looking for racism where there isn’t any
Not that I’m saying racism doesn’t exist but in this instance I’ve yet to see any
But you didn't even consider they weren't all from the UK now did you?And the truth is that they were racially abused by people both in the UK and elsewhere.
Proof?And the truth is that they were racially abused by people both in the UK and elsewhere.
But not in this instanceThere is clearly a good deal of racism in this country. And it needs challenging every single day.
Just to be clear are you saying they were not racially abused? And you can't dismiss Twitter because it suits you. The abuse is the key here, not the delivery method.Proof?
And Twitter isn’t proof as you yourself said there’s no regulations on Twitter
Anyone can join with an email which are easy to create
I can totally dismiss Twitter as it’s not evidence and certainly not reliable as you well knowJust to be clear are you saying they were not racially abused? And you can't dismiss Twitter because it suits you. The abuse is the key here, not the delivery method.
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make and what proof you think you have for it.
I don't understand the last paragraph.I can totally dismiss Twitter as it’s not evidence and certainly not reliable as you well know
Stop twisting things
So to be totally clear I’m not saying that they weren’t racially abused but m just asking for evidence that they were not just someone’s day so
Why does that matter?But you didn't even consider they weren't all from the UK now did you?
The whole narrative has been that these are England fans and we don't deserve to host competitions etc. Or maybe you're not bothered by the truth as long as there's racism somewhere.Why does that matter?
Social media has no borders, that shouldn't excuse your participation in recognising the abuse and if you use that as an excuse to ignore it and say that's not my problem, then sorry but fuck you!
I think english fans did that with their behaviour the other night not social media abuse. Although i agree that it does seem to be pushed that they were your own fansThe whole narrative has been that these are England fans and we don't deserve to host competitions etc. Or maybe you're not bothered by the truth as long as there's racism somewhere.
If these are bots, its potentially one person generating thousands of comment, which is a very different proposition to thousand of people making individual comments.
How am i ignoring it by discussing it?Why does that matter?

Yes and look at them flailing around in disappointment over it. I'd say it's shocking but it just isn't. It's utterly predictable.That's busted a few pre-conceptions - fully expected most of those vile trolls to be based outside the UK
