He wouldn't be representing the 'twats' (your word), he would be representing his mum and grandparents.
He wouldn't be representing the 'twats' (your word), he would be representing his mum and grandparents.Must be conflicting for him to have to represent twats like that, but at the same time would want to play on the World stage.
Exactly this. The bloke is literally half Polish whether he likes it or indeed other people like it, or not. If his family are proud and he is proud, who gives a fuck?He wouldn't be representing the 'twats' (your word), he would be representing his mum and grandparents.
It's like here in the 70s and 80s. The majority of youngster don't know what they are saying or doing, it's the yampy minority 20+ year olds who like to have their gang and provoke the kids into joining in 'the banter', that's what kids think it is.A few years ago I played against a polish team down south. The abuse coming out of a few of their mouths was disgusting. Granted it wasn’t all of them.
But as soon one of our players said something (it was about eating carp as he is a keen fisherman) they kicked off! It was like ww3
Just to add he didn’t say it in the means it was taken, he was having a joke with one of there players and another over heard what he said
This is also on Wiki, you had to scroll down ever so slightly...Wikki says Simms was born in Oldham, I had no idea there was an Oldham in Poland
I wonder if theres a Coventry in Brazil
The problem's Twitter, not Poland.
Those kind of lowlifes are everywhere.
They previously had Olisadebe up front about 20 years ago.Be interesting to hear the take of our Polish rep on SBT (skybluedom26) on what he feels about likelihood of Simms for Poland.....and what the fan reaction would be in stadium rather than online!
Be great to see him scoring goals for the second greatest country in the worldBe interesting to hear the take of our Polish rep on SBT (skybluedom26) on what he feels about likelihood of Simms for Poland.....and what the fan reaction would be in stadium rather than online!
I've only been to Prague once, wife's purse stolen from her bag on the way from the airport to the hotel all bank and cards etc gone... very long wait at the Police station to see the "specialist" pickpocket officer.It’s more complex than being made out here. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has seen huge numbers of people taken in by central and Eastern Europe. Many are 18-30 males avoiding getting called up. Most are working and studies show they are bringing more money into the countries than they are costing, but rival politicians and the media have fuelled a lot of anti-immigration sentiment in regular people. And while it has not been about skin colour in the case if Ukrainians, it has become an enabler for people who were already racist to be more open about it, because they feel like they are in a bigger crowd of like minded people than they were before.
I used to be praised for being a foreigner speaking Czech with a ‘cute’ accent, now people are much colder towards me, assuming I’m Ukrainian. If I explain I’m English and lived here for 20 years, they visibly relax and become nicer to me. I feel like this has set Europe back by 30 years.
Wow Poland seems like a lovely place.
Given how Simms is quite a hot and cold striker, having fanbase just wanting to harangue you purely because of your skin colour it might not be the best option for him.Olisadebe was the first person of African birth or heritage to represent Poland internationally, in 2000. He scored 11 times in 25 games for Poland over 4 years.
He also received a barrage of abuse, but I don’t think the minority views
of a few imbeciles will deter Simms from making the decision. And it is certainly a minority.
You'd be suprisedThe problem's Twitter, not Poland.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.You'd be suprised
Beetroot soup is awful though.Poland is a fantastic country, it has it's problems as all countries do, but let's not write off a whole country because of a few cunts on Twitter. If someone came on here and selected a few posts, They could make us look like a right bunch of deranged simpletons.
He wouldn't be the first black person to represent Poland either. The poles took to Olisadebe well.
Beetroot soup is awful though.
Did you report them to anyone? It’s a hanging offence.It's absolutely honking mate and I was forced fed it as a child.
I've been to Prague a couple of times and never had any issues at all. Sounds like you were just unlucky (although understand why it would put you off going back). Issues like this in all big cities unfortunately.I've only been to Prague once, wife's purse stolen from her bag on the way from the airport to the hotel all bank and cards etc gone... very long wait at the Police station to see the "specialist" pickpocket officer.
Last day of the holiday my debit card got cloned and when i got home my bank account had been emptied, ironically cash withdrawals in several Italian cities.... salary went in the bank account the following day and stolen immediately....again in Italian cities.
Wouldn't be in a hurry to go there again tbh.
Same here...been to Prague about 30 times (had some friends there), and never had any real trouble (but last visit was about 8 years ago).I've been to Prague a couple of times and never had any issues at all.

Many healthy benefits though!Beetroot soup is awful though.
Apart from the constant fear you've got bowel cancer every time you go to the toilet.Many healthy benefits though!
Done deal. Looks ecstatic!
What call up?!Good for him! Deserves his call up and really happy for him. Also adds a few £ onto his value
