any calls for them to be kicked out, haven't seen it all over the news in australia...
i read this from an online English paper
Another embarrassment for the Met: Police officers are shown in full retreat as Hungary thugs advance on them when they try to arrest thug for racially abusing Wembley steward
i would suggest on CURRENT form, drawing with countries ranked 21 and 40 doesnt make you 'one of the best teams in the world'

English is not australian. You have found one quote compared to pages and pages for weeks on England. Not even close yet.

I would suggest reaching the Euro Final makes you one of the best teams in the world. We will still qualify top of our group.

English is not australian.
whats the matter with you????
1 - English papers have online editions for Australian audiences
2 - in a technological environment, news is global

are you suggesting the print version of the Advertiser shouldve run a front page article????

I asked about australian media, you came back with a English media. They played enough coverage about trouble outside the ground in the Euro's.

i came back with an online paper tailored for its Australian audience - thats Australian media...if you are referring to 'ownership', half the media in the UK is owned by an Aussie anyway.

mate...youre back peddling again...why are you giving Cooper more ammo...

let me quote your initial whine....
Post by God is an Englishman » Wed Oct 13, 2021 10:21 am

I wonder how much will be in the media about the trouble caused by the Hungary fans.
no mention of nationality.....

BTW...how many of those Hungary fans are English?????

Probably none of them.

No, but you did mention the nationality. I then stated that nothing in the australian media after they had pages on English "trouble".

I explained. Big difference.

Either way, I said how much coverage. Very little, point proven.

no...you pivoted once your assertion was disproven....

how do you know 'very little'? have you made a list of media outlets which didnt report it?

youre very good at being pedantic when it suits thus Im happy for you to provide us with the above list. how long do you think I'll be waiting for?

Showing one source doesn't prove your point seeing as I said "I wonder how many will...".

Quite a while because I haven't made a list. However, I've not seen it mentioned on any media source outside of the UK. Perhaps you could provide me with the list of media that have and to what extent and then I can stop wondering.

only after you tell me which havent....

a quick google search will show that media outlets in Australia (including one in Bendigo and another in rural Qld), USA, India, Ireland plus others have all reported it, not to mention global media outlets

ball is in your court.....but I expect you wont want to play or you'll want to change the game...

So, you have shown a few with minor coverage.

you stated
I've not seen it mentioned on any media source outside of the UK
Im telling you it has but it doesnt suit your argument to go looking for it...


now show me a list of those that havent....but i know the answer... :wave: :wave: :wave:

prediction: you will revert to the definition of extent as in
and to what extent
to avoid a straight answer.

why do you keep giving Cooper justification???

I don't need to justify it because you have done it for me.

I pondered a question, you answered it (Congratulations on that). I even said "I havent' seen it all over the news in australia" and you responded with an English source.

Mega, I reckon you’re winning on points on this one with seldom-wrong GIsn’tAE. One small correction though - Lord Rupert Murdoch is a naturalised Yankee American.

Nah Toomer, not noice. But I’ll let Mega respond for himself. He might even convince you to withdraw. Or at the very least, spell properly - “Greece y”.
