Proper England players don't turn their backs on marginalised groups and throw away everything they believe in for a payday they don't need, Harry.

Jesus Harry I thought you were on the redemption arc

[–] total90_23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Proper players don’t treat normal people like shit and think they’re above the law you muppet with the turning radius of a constellation

[–] Sitheref0874@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t have the right to abuse a player.

I don’t have the right to levy racial abuse at a player.

I font have the right to mention a player’s family.

But I absolutely do have the right to boo a player for any number of reasons.

And for a player to suggest otherwise is just out of touch arrogance.

[–] TobyHalpert@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah well "proper" blokes don't chuck years of LBGTQ advocacy in the bin for money either, but here we are Slabhead.

This should certainly help Maguire's popularity with the fans.

[–] MannyMike7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can just tell by Harry's interviews and the police incident in Greece that he lives up his own arse for a living. Delusional prick.

[–] King_Hobbes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He does seem big headed tbf

[–] MrMahony@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You mean Mr. I don't have to prove myself as a defender because I scored against Albanian?

[–] official_bagel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Plenty of players including Maguire, Beckham and Southgate have been booed undeservedly, but that’s not the case for Henderson. He’s not hated for a mistake on the pitch, he’s hated for being a hypocritical sellout and I think the boos are an acceptable way for the public to voice their displeasure

[–] Great_Almond_Skies@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just like with his penalty all those years ago, Southgate is missing the point here. A common theme in his life it seems.

[–] Mepsi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

All respect for Gareth, Hendo, Maguire gone. What absolute bellends of people.

[–] WorthPlease@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I just bought this last car, that is worth more than everything our family owns, in your honor. I might even drive it after a few beers in the middle of town.

[–] superpantman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I dislike booing your countrymen. If the goal is helping your team to win then booing isn't the answer. You're there to support to national team, if you're not there to support the national team then don't buy a ticket.

"Oh but their voices need to heard, these are people's opinions!"

Fuck off with your opinions and boos, go watch England on your own at home were no one can hear your poisonous treason.

Also bonus round, pretty shocked the crowd couldn't stay silent for 30 seconds to pay respects for the dead victims of the Palestine-Israeli conflict. If you can't at least pay respect to some dead people what hope do you have to cheer for your own country? Stop defending these hooligans.

Proper LGBTQ allies don't accept money to go work regime that wants LGBTQ arrested and worse.

[–] Orcnick@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly feel like these players need some actual education.

This is disgusting, LGBT campaigns should really pull out of England and demand a apology.

Fans are right to boo this hypercritc, he knew exactly what going to play in Saudi meant.

[–] No-Habit988@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck off with this shite. He's not fighting on the frontline. He's getting paid hundreds of thousands a week to play football and often not particularly well.

[–] FloppedYaYa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Maguire doesn't half come out with some absolute utter dog shite whenever he gets interviewed

[–] QuantumCat11@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shut the f*** up

And not just you Maguire.

The soner England loses Maguire, Hendersaudi, and, hopefully, Southgate, the better.

Maybe then fans could just focus on the play instead of banging their heads on walls, trying to understand Gareth's unfathomably stupid squad selection, including the pair of buffoons mentioned above

[–] Look_Alive@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The sooner England loses Maguire, Hender$audi, and, hopefully, Southgate, the better.

I don't feel entirely comfortable lumping Maguire and Henderson into the same bracket here. There's obviously a footballing argument to be made about Maguire not being selected, and there's also now a footballing argument to be made about Henderson due to how poor quality the Saudi league is, but I'd like to think fans booing Henderson were doing that more on a moral level due to his blatant hypocrisy.

I just feel like talking about a player who should be dropped for footballing reasons and, in the same breath, a player who has done something many morally disagree with, to the point he has been disowned by certain sections of the fanbase, actually lessens the overall point a bit. As it allows Maguire and Southgate to come out with the absolute nonsense they have and talk about footballing reasons for why Henderson should be in the squad.

[–] teemuselanteenvene@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Maguire really needs to learn the ancient art of shutting the fuck up

[–] PurpleSquirrel0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don’t make us boo you as well

[–] Banged_by_bumrah@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

UTD fans were throwing paper balls inside the dressing room asking him to leave the club booing shouldn't be too bad for him

[–] hidinginDaShadows@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How about you worry about keeping all the other cbs in your club injured so you can keep getting the odd game instead of what fans are doing

[–] Old_Roof@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

England fans are so based for this

[–] aredditusername69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck Maguire, Southgate and Henderson, honestly. 'Real Fans' don't stand up for things they believe in. Fuck off you clowns.

[–] cottoncandysedai@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like after watching Becks’s documentary I would agree this is right on par with what English fans would do. Also, I hate to sound like Roy Keane but instead of complaining about it how about you shut them up on the pitch.

[–] FairlyDeterminedFM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Get fucked you waste of a squad spot.

Dedicate their life? What fucking dedication is that? The same dedication that every English football fan has? The dedication to work shit hours for shit pay to save up for season pass/match day ticket/international game, all in the midsts of a cost of living crisis? That dedication?

Fuck the lot of them. Bunch of out of touch, tone deaf, moronic millionaires getting paid to do a sport we all love.

But I guess it’s hard to see the plight of the modern football fan through the tinted windows of a G-Wagon or in some plush lavish existence in Saudi. The sooner these entitled cunts realise they just make things worse when they open their mouths, the better of we will be.

[–] Asriel_1985@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This guy likes to speak out far too often.

It's not rocket science why players like himself and Henderson get booed.

They don't deserve their spots in the squad let alone be starters for England when there are far better options available.

Par that with the LGBTQ issues with Henderson and the fans are well within their right to boo.

Dismissing then and claiming they're not real fans is a disgusting response.

[–] salsablanco@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

His own club doesn't want him. Harry, maybe you can warm the bench or usher the stands in Riyadh some day

[–] ShockRampage@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mate just shut up?

[–] PadishaEmperor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Proper players don't play for murderers.

[–] entjiebek@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Harry Maguire sounds like an idiot every single time he speaks

[–] venktesh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

must take a special kind of idiot to make me agree with City and Pool fans!

[–] thelove20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh god Harry sit down ffs 🤦‍♂️

[–] Meth_Hardy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As a fan, I say that "proper England players don't warm benches for their clubs, or go to play in retirement leagues for the pay day if they still want to paly for England".

But that's just my opinion.

[–] FrutaAndPutas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

yada yada yada stiff upper lip yada yada yada

[–] Homerduff16@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If I was memed on to extent that a politician in Ghana was making jokes about my shit defending while playing for one of the biggest teams in the world over the last few years, I'd keep my mouth shut as much as possible

So criticising your own fans for booing Jordan Henderson under perfectly reasonable circumstances just makes you come off as a clown

Some footballers have so much hubris and suffer from an impressive lack of self awareness it's actually crazy

[–] AaronStudAVFC@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Please I beg, can one journalist please point out to Southgate/Maguire/Henderson exactly why these boos are happening? They know damn well why already but somebody please make them answer it directly in a press conference. I’m tired of them getting to put out a single quote that completely ignores any context.

This team has become so unlikeable for me in the space of a couple of months.

[–] thatguyad@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fans pay the money. They can boo if they want. They only ever boo if you have done something wrong. Them constantly telling fans what they can and can't do is just stoking the fire.

Him, Henderson and Southgate should all shut up and do their job. They're acting like superior beings.

[–] PompeiiLegion@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Proper England players don’t go play in Saudi Arabia.

[–] RepulsiveLeg9985@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago

Literal fucking birdbrain.

[–] Primary_Letter7839@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago

People need to wind it in. Think of Henderson's mother.

[–] JMD800@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago

Bollocks to Henderson

[–] looneytoonarmy@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago

"Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?"

[–] Gluroo@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago

"Proper England fans don't boo players"

"Don't boo players who dedicate their life to play and do everything they can to make this country have good memories and have special moments for them and their families."

why do people dislike Maguire again.. i really cant tell.

[–] Constant_Cap_7611@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago

This guy is not just a poor player but also a massive bellend. Southgate has chosen the wrong hill to die on.
