Perhaps this will be “bumped” by the Glorious Admin (Happy to oblige – NA) but nevertheless this article helps to illustrated both the enshittification of “news journalism” and the moronic attitude of Our BBC.
“Losing at football can cause more of a sting than in other sports, says Dr Martha Newson from the University of Greenwich.
“Few people are going to cry and get upset about whoever loses Wimbledon,” explains the behavioural scientist.
“Football is different… we talk about the national team like it’s us out there.”
For supporter Oli Portlock, an England loss feels like a “national funeral… a big grey cloud over the nation when England’s been knocked out”..
Arse piss.
This step by step guide to being a total cunt is akin to the Nanny Statism that has thoroughly fucked out once great nation.
“If you find yourself reaching for the crisps or cookies, it is not all down to a lack of willpower.
“We do find that fans consume more calories after a loss,” Newson says, probably due to an unconscious “evolutionary” desire to protect yourself after losing.
Everyone has different ways of coping, she says, but the important thing is to “trust your instincts” – and being with others, resting, and opening up tend to be the best options”..
Remarkable.
How can anyone British even begin to entertain thoughts such as these?
Fuck me Argentinian this has to be a new low.
PS: The tactic of trying to spend forty odd minutes defending a one goal lead in a World Cup semi final is fucking idiotic..and has been tried before with predictable results.
Tuchel? Oven.

Five ways to cope with England’s World Cup defeat…
Punch a politician.
Burn down a mosque.
Post racist memes online.
Run over a asylum seeker..
Or just grow up.
You might have a England football team, but your country is already lost..

Christ!
The BBC must have really been scraping the bottom of the barrel to find a mug, sorry, person with professional credentials to quote for the article.
Dr. Martha is giving advice on the kind of self-care that you’d expect a bereavement counsellor to hand out.
No-one died, FFS!

There are so many people spoofing a living saying the bleeding obvious, often working at minor universities which ought to be called Polytechnics. Dr. Martha appears to be one of them.
To boil your piss even more they get an interview fee for this sort of crap.

I share your view Jeezum. I can’t understand how people get so heavily invested in football. In my teens I once went to a football match having won a ticket in a raffle no less! It was some international event but I confess I can’t even remember the score or who the teams were. I found the experience to be not quite as boring as fishing with a rod and line. Still, each to their own. It’s not my position to dictate other folk’s interests.

A message to Martha…
Get To Fuck

At top level football there is no such thing as luck.
To win, you need a team that can play the game better than any other team.
That might sound obvious, but it seems that England just doesn’t get it.
The England football team were simply not good enough to win the tournament.
They did better than 44 other teams (perhaps 45 come Saturday evening), which is excellent.
I don’t know what was going on in the skinny, German coach’s head.
Perhaps he thought that England couldn’t possibly break down the Argentinian defense for a second time, so the best thing to do would be to put four centre halves on the pitch and throw everyone into defense.
It didn’t work, but I feel that if England kept trying to attack for a second goal, they would have lost by many more.
The English football fans don’t need any help to get over their team’s defeat, they just need a better team.
I believe that there has been an awful lot of money thrown into the English game by Lottery funding.
Perhaps next time, with a different line up, they may do better.
Good morning everyone!

The top 4 FIFA ranked teams played the semi finals, Argentina 1, Spain 2, France 3, England 4
Can’t get away from the stats

Argentina won, ok maybe not fair and square but England knew what was coming, they played to their strengths (kicking one’s opponent).
Might get into a bit of bother over a bit of rag with ‘the Falklands are ours’, but who gives a shit anyway, at least we will have a chance at winning the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.
I watched the game, Spain v France as well and both winners deserved to be in the final
Save you tears for another day (the weekend) 😂
PS the white boy (ginger) scored Englands goal

Is there a BBC Morocco?
If so, their advice might sound something like this.
‘Feeling gutted about your team of fellow goat shaggers being knocked out of the World Cup?’
‘Protect your mental health by trying the following’
‘If living in the UK or France, smash up the nearest town or city (London and Paris are best for this, as the cops shit their pants)’
‘If actually living in Morocco, do not try the above because the authorities will cut your fucking head off’

When England scored, my 14-year old son started dancing around in triumph and I told him not to get his hopes up.
“They’ll mess it up,” I informed him, “they always do.”
And they did.
It’s a good life lesson for him:
Stop giving a shit about childish tribalism played by cheating, overpaid cissy cunts.

I was in my early twenties when England were given the World Cup. I say given because it was never proven about that ball. But accepted it and was pleased and never going over the top like a lot of idiots did by getting pissed. Has the years went on I gradually got over childish games and became bitter about the team losing its Englishness and looking more like the black and white minstrel show and fans from the lower leagues were the only ones supporting them due to their lack of passion for their own clubs. Now I’m more pleased when we lose than when we won the dam thing.

I left out the bit about not even watching the shite. But enjoyed the quietness when it was all over, when there wasn’t any people on the pitch.

Im more surprised fat quare Rodney didn’t give the Falklands away as his last act.
Though making that disgusting pàki goblin a lord is a fucking pisstake…

I think it’s safe to assume he would have done had he survived Barry. Just imagine if he had led Labour into the next GE and they had won. Christ, it makes me shudder to think about it.

They think it’s all over….err it is now! we couldn’t cope with the argy bargy lot and who the fuck was marking the sub who scored the winner? anyway I got over it by remembering when the national team was all white not some mixed pallette of various shades of black…gutted ? Nah 😩…

England are upset about the banner held up by the Argentinian players after the game.
Fuck England.
You have given away your borders, you have surrendered your cities.
You are being taken over by an alien culture.
You turn your backs on your own history.
You are ashamed of creating the largest Empire ever seen.
You are ashamed of your own flag.
Your major councils are run by immigrants.
You replace the image of your past Prime Minister on your banknotes.
Your church is now almost irrelevant.
Your children are now being taught black history in favour of your own.
You give away stratigic territories to whoever wants it.
You are considering giving away billions of your money to black people in other countries.
You bend over andl take it up the arse at every opportunity.
It doesn’t matter if Argentina are wrong in their claims.
Don’t for one minute have the audacity to lecture other countries on how they should demonstrate their patriotism.

If I hear the term ‘world class’ applied to anyone in this England team again, i think I might explode.
There simply isn’t one that is.
I’ve got a lot of time for Kane, but he has proven again that he cannot do it against the best.
Bellingham carries a goal threat, admittedly, but he can’t boss a midfield to save his life.
In fact, I’ve never seen a midfield melt away as suddenly as England’s did against Argentina.
As for the rest of them, they aren’t worth a wank, apart from Pickford, perhaps.
And by the way. Have there been any accusations of racism on social media yet?
It’s about the only tactic most of them are any good at.

It’s a game of kickball

Thanks to Our Glorious Admin for dropping this in so delightfully timeously.
I’d have been less inclined to nominate the team had they played open football for the full ninety minutes (not counting advertising breaks) and lost 8-3.
The mawkish braindead slurry shat out by total cunts like the BBCistan and the newspapers regarding this footballing spectacle is almost enough to make a gentleman take up viewing the ladies game.
Almost.
Tuchel is a cunt anyway.
Good morning.

Morning, UT.
At least with the wimminz you can play games when it gets boring (I.e most of the 90 minutes)
My favourites are….
Guess the tiny few who are heterosexual.
Assess which would have the best tits if not constrained by a sports bra.
Try again to work out if Alesia Russo is doable or not.
All good fun.
You should try it.
If you haven’t already.
0
Oh I forgot. There’s another one which is best if you’ve got a few mates round.
Discuss whether Russo’s red faced goal celebrations are the same as her orgasm face.
That’s always a crowd pleaser.

if your suffering uncontrollable weeping and hissy fits like Oli over Englands semi final defeat to the argies,
then i suggest you toughen up you soft bedwetting little cunt.
its a kids game played by black millionaires.
ps
dr Martha my foreskin feels a bit tight and smells like wotsits,
would you be prepared to take a look?
maybe roll back the hood an check undee the helmet?

Dear me MNC.
It gets worse!
Is your phone really that bad or are you typing wearing boxing gloves?

I got more pleasure from watching Wimbledon and the gradual losses of each yank and darkle that went by the wayside.
