The racism has started!

Bukayo Saka getting pelted with racist abuse on Instagram, absolutely disgusting! No surprise there though! About time social media was ended, it is out of control!

Southgate needs to get the abuse for putting the pressure of the whole nation on the shoulders of inexperienced teenagers.

Weird one! Nobody deserves abuse, penalties can go either way, it's a cruel way to decide a game but the only way. Any sort of abuse is wrong, but the racism on social media right now is abhorrent

Really feel for that lad. Sancho too (on target). The Rashford one set the tone when we needed three to win. There’s a perfect example of why somebody in the run up to a tournament needs to stick to football so as to focus 100%. But racist abuse for any of them is deplorable. They need support not abuse.

Are you really blaming his miss on having an eye on ensuring under privileged children get a meal?

It was an appallingly bad penalty but it was nothing to do with any of the good causes that he’s championed.

Can't we just abuse them but not in a racist manner- some awfull spot-kicks there - deserve some stick.
Why would you want to abuse a young man for missing a penalty? Weird.

Only 1 way to stop it & it can easily be ended.

It is weird, but is it more or less weird than abusing someone for having a different skin pigmentation?

The saddest part as you say is it’s no surprise.

Yep, I came off social media about 9/12 months ago and honestly happier for it. It's about time it is heavily regulated or banned.

Less weird, but I was just pointing out someone on here condoning abuse of a 19 year old player because he took a bad penalty.

Well that 19 year old seems far less cowardly than you.
What on earth are you spouting about?

Isn't this social media?
It is social media that is heavily regulated - thank you for emphasising my point

There is only one way to stop it, but it won't be done.

He shouldn’t get abuse but light hearted banter about directions to the nearest specsavers wouldn’t go amiss :lol: all humans make mistakes at the end of the day we’ve got to laugh about it, dust ourselves down & get on with life,
