[Football] The Euro's and young German girl crying.

[Sorrel]

These days if you want to find things you find offensive it's very easy to find them - you can go on twitter and search for things you won't like. In the old days you'd've had to actually go and look for people to take offence at.

It's still a waste of time though. I'm not sure that "people watching a football match laughed or cheered somewhat unpleasantly" is a huge story unless you really want it to be.

As the OP please,just why do some England fans do it ? Car Flags,Cross St George outside the house why what is the point ?

What has flags got to do with this thread?

Has anyone actually seen some of the comments? ****ing vile abuse aimed at young girl. Why are people employing all this whataboutry for?

To be fair I haven't, Twitter is an absolute cesspool that I try to avoid, I just thought the sight of a German fam crying after we beat them 2-0 was mildly amusing.

The thing with Twitter is that you only find horrible things if you go on there and look for them. I'm sure the girl's parents won't let her within a mile of twitter for at least a decade.

Anyone donating money is an absolute plank, there's children starving, homeless and drowning in the channel and they're worried about some twitter comments which they had to seek out. I feel like people are lacking perspective here

I suspect he’s drunk again.

It was very hard to avoid because of the disgust. There has already been a thread on Nsc about it.

Honesty, when I read that I think of Paul Merson making excuses for why he couldn't avoid the pub. Everyone is addicted.

Is anyone having a pop at the tv camera crew for zooming in on the girl crying?

Just a thought, if nobody saw her on tv there wouldn’t be any online comments.

Good point, maybe xenophobia and racism has infiltrated the media. . . .

I'll quote my mate when this little girl flashed up on the screen:

"But father, zis is not vot is supposed to have been happened. Zis is VEMBLEY"

I laughed. Sorry.

Great post.

You are always going to get clowns on Twitter who post stuff which is below the belt on any topic. It’s a common denominator in life that dickheads exist.

Want to find something to be offended about? Go on Twitter. It’s a sloppy way to raise the profile of something which would be ignored by everyone otherwise.

And that’s how the trolls win….

Well stop getting so upset about people giving mature responses to unacceptable abuse then.

Kids get over these bouts of crying over trivial in the grand scheme of things.

I used to cry when I was young coz I had freckles. I look back now and laugh about it.

That young girl will look back at it in years to come and laugh about that as well probably.

The on line abuse is a different matter though. Any personally directing abuse can leave permanent emotional scars so that's the thing that is the worst in all of this. Hopefully she never ever gets to view that.

She will be laughing all the way to the bank pretty soon

Zenophobia/nationalism/right wing populism has been on the rise all over the world, unfortunately. Including much of Europe. Certainly including Germany. I'm sick of people thinking it's just here.

Not defending morons who have abused her online of course.

I’m not sure who these “people” are you speak of are, but I hope you’re not thinking I’m one of them.

I understand we’re not alone in having Nasty people amongst us, but the point is most of us here live in the U.K. so look inwards to our own country. If we’re not as bad as others then good, still doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem here!

To be fair, that’s funny in an Allo Allo way - the Twitter abuse was a whole ‘nother level...
