England Football Team.

You have now posted this message twice Grandad first on the sport thread ( the correct place for it) and now on news and politics, does it really need to be on here?

Lemongrove, there has not been a larger news item (outside of Brexit) this year or I would say for several years that the England team achievements at the World Cup.

Therefore I felt to post in the news section would give those that do not visit the sports section regularly an opportunity to congratulate the team.

Seems perfectly logical to me being the sports section is small on this forum by percentage to this section and, as stated, this is a very large news item.

FGS Grandad, people who are interested in sport will obviously look at the sports thread regardless of its size! So why you find it necessary to have a pop at the government over their degree of enthusiasm about something which lets face it is only a game, is beyond me! Not everybody worships football, some of us actually aren't even remotely interested and honestly, incredible as it may seem couldn't give a flying fig who does or doesn't win, same goes for the tennis!

Large news item?!!!! Mind you to listen to News night you'd think it akin to VE day!! How pathetic is that!

Oh dear dear dear niggly and lemon . Teaming up to carry on your vendetta against Grandad. Have you any idea how childish it makes you both look? The title of the thread was clear - why click on if you don’t like it? Just to have a go at him? Who gave you the right to be the thread police?Pathetic.

I was sure I had posted on this thread ???

oooops just realised there are 2 of 'em.

Sorry.

As you were men.

^ as the whole mood of the UK was lifted by their achievements^
Really, grandad? England is not the UK, and, although I, as a Scot resident in England, with English DSs and DGC, did cheer for the English team, I would be very surprised if there wasn't a 'sour grapes' attitude among some of my fellow tribespeople!

Many thanks maryeliza54 for the support. I believe that there is a group on this forum that wishes to prove to one another how "hard they can be on the male of the species" being that there seems to be a majority of females on the forum.

Therefore I regard their attitudes as "sexist stupidity". It does not trouble me but just spurs me to post further in response to their attitudes.

However, their actions are without a doubt in violation of the Equalities act 2010 and the continuation of posts against me in the way that group do, builds the evidence against them.

So, maryeliza54 let them carry on.

According to the BBC 18% of Welsh and 7% of Scots we’re supporting England

Equalities act? Building up evidence ? Good grief

Equalities Act, evidence!!!!!! I don't actually think you being a man has anything to do with you being 'terrorised' by a group of baton wielding grannies!! do try not to flatter yourself!! Could it be your pompous hectoring manner??!! There's a thought?! Or perhaps you're not all you appear, and we're getting suspicious!!!!

Haha Grandad that is very funny indeed, builds the evidence!
I asked why you had to post the same comment on two threads, it’s confusing to posters, as gillybob has just demonstrated.
You must realise that maryeliza is not actually your supporter, simply a stirrer.

m.l . !!!!!!!! Calm down dear!!!!

I just showed those posts to DH niggly .......he laughed!

Keep going girls.

Keep collecting your evidence grandad1943, you can then hand all over to the legal secretaries you claim work for/with you ?

grandad1943, we are ladies , do we refer to you as boy ?

"hectoring" is a new one on me . Is it anything to do with Hectors House? I loved that.

Lemongrove, you state thatmaryeliza54 is a "stirrer" to use your term, However, how would you then describe your attitude towards me, bearing in mind your responses to my posts over a substantial period of time?

I think girls is an accurate description - you are in the playground after all in your little gang Lemon who could care less about whether your DH laughed or not?

By stirrer, Grandad. lemon means someone who doesn’t agree with her and hang on her every word and is prepared to calll her out forever pathetic behaviour. Oh yes and who is left of centre.

anniebach, you state that only 17% of the Welsh people and 7% of the Scottish were supporting the English team at the world cup. However, I seem to recall that Iceland as a small nation was prominent at finals in Russia, but I do not recall seeing wales or Scotland there. So, where were they?
