Are You "Anyone But England"?

[PaoloSanchez]

My impression is England hoolies didnt fancy their chances in Russia

Quite right too. The Russians have got the right idea, behave or get your arse kicked. I think they have similar problems some of their own fans. It's probably a good thing that Ukraine didn't qualify.

This thread going well so far and has so much potential yet. I was going to watch Uruguay vs. France at 3 pm but I think this'll be more entertaining to keep an eye on

Let's spam the thread with recipes! Are you with me?

This is an excellent cake recipe - incredibly moist and lovely. I made it with lemons.

Im surprised there’s been no comment on this.

Is racist language ok as long as it’s aimed at the English?

I was kinda shocked too, but nobody seems to give a fuck. Maybe casual racism is acceptable in football?

Ah the famous Nigella clementine cake. Have you made it? It's supposed to be terribly good.

Stir it well.

Oh, and eurovision

Oh OK then my apologies:

1.99% Other team sports
0.01% Eurovision

Better?

But the world is full of national and racial insults based on what people eat. Green dubs it "gastro-nationalism", and says it has "the benefit of several antagonistic worlds: not simply racial difference, but those ever-absorbing bones of contention, manners and taste".

The Racial Slur database lists hundreds of such terms, including "locust eaters" for Afghans, "salmon crunchers" for Alaskans, and "goulash-heads" for Hungarians.

American use of the word "limey" as shorthand for British is another example, referring to the eating of limes by British sailors who were anxious to avoid scurvy.

 

[rubbershoes]

Quite right too. The Russians have got the right idea, behave or get your arse kicked. I think they have similar problems some of their own fans. It's probably a good thing that Ukraine didn't qualify.

Wasn't the concern partly that the Russian hooligans were sort of state sanctioned and supported?

 

[andysays]

I'm not convinced that referring to the English as 'les rostbifs' really counts as racism, pathetic though it is.

 

[Idris2002]

I dunno man. . . looking at how Colombia were playing the other night, I thought "I definitely don't want to see them beaten like this". . .

Though if you guys go on to actually win this thing, you're going to be absolutely insufferable.

 

[Spymaster]

It’s ok if it’s about the English. Mention “Taffs”, “Jocks”, or “Micks” though, and the shit hits the fan!

Don't know, don't care tbh. As far as I'm concerned all footie hooligans are nobheads.

The Barmy Army are ok though. Good fun.

I have avoided watching any of the England matches but it's hard to avoid the saturation coverage.

I seem to be managing to avoid it just fine

My impression is England hoolies didnt fancy their chances in Russia

Plus Russian hoolies having been visited by serious faced men from the police to discuss how heads would roll if trouble were to occur at this sporting time

We are already insufferable tyvm.

Is this about rosbif? Thought that was just what the French called the English. And I don’t recall hearing many real objections to “taff” either (in the bit of Wales I’m from they sometimes use it to refer to those from the Cardiff area).

 

[PaoloSanchez]

I think you might find it hard if the buggers actually go on to win the thing. I might just leave the country for a few weeks if that happens.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Ah the famous Nigella clementine cake. Have you made it? It's supposed to be terribly good.

Yes, I used to make it quite a lot as it was dead easy and always came out well. The flat was filled with the glorious smell of lemons for hours afterwards.

 

[Saul Goodman]

I think it's called positive racism, and apparently it is acceptable.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I made this recently for a work leaving do - it's really very good
It's quite soft though so maybe not perfect for this hot weather we are experiencing.

Nope, I am really NOT going to get drawn into a footbally thread by stealth. No.

The dude is just a bit salty from past interactions and is always desperately looking to find things to complain about.

Lemons??? So it can be made with any citrus fruit?
