His dad was shot so obviously you get a tattoo of a gun to remember the good times... If his dad was bummed to death would he get a tattoo of a cock? The gun was chosen because it's "cool", nothing more.

That's a hell of a tattoo you've got there Stewart Lubbock's son.

 

[Chali 2na]

Each to their own, of course, but it's a strange tribute to a loved one, don't you think? My cousin was killed in a car crash, but if his son had a tribute tattoo of a Ford Mondeo on his leg I'd tell him to get it removed. But you are right, it isn't solely about him being black.

It seems strange, yes, I cant really comment on whether or not it's a suitable tribute, as my Dad wasn't shot dead.

I understand your analogy avout the car though, I suspect that's why it's getting so much media attention.

I do think there is a definite media (The Sun) bias against Sterling though.

I agree he does seem to have been a target, even from his early Liverpool days. Doesn't help himself sometimes, but most footballers are young and daft.

Dignity is indeed, becoming increasingly rare.....

Soz "4 skins".

One thing it's OK to cry about is all the racism in the game today. As an example, one of England's brightest prospects is being hounded by the media for having a simple tattoo in honour of his father. His crime? Being black.

Note smiley on post folks. It means I'm taking the piss a bit.

Emotion is a massive part of football for many, many people. Players cry all the time. Didn't see anyone having a pop at Cairney on Saturday when Fulham went up? Is it only the mega-rich ones on the biggest stages that are fair game to have a pop at?

I cried like a babby when United went 2-1 up against Northampton. I didn't give a shit who was looking, I was just overwhelmed that the pain of being in that God-forsaken league was finally coming to an end and it was a joyous moment. One I'll never forget.

I cry at films and telly. I cried when I saw Pulp live. Might shed a tear or two at a wedding. Who gives a shit? It doesn't make me any more or less of a man and if you genuinely think it does then you can feck reyt off.

There's absolutely knob-all wrong with showing emotion and this 'stiff upper lip' bollocks that supposedly makes Britain great leads to men not talking about anything. If you don't need to talk about owt in life then fine, that's your business. But there are reasons suicide is the main killer of men under 45 in the UK and the ridiculous attitude that you are somehow less of a man for crying at stuff is an undeniable part of the puzzle.

“Stop crying you pussy. Man up, its only relegation”.

Said absolutely nobody to his face.

Aye, I was a little surprised nobody noticed the massive fishing rod in your hand.

Was just about to post similar.

Who’s volunteering to tell Morgs he’s a wuss?

 

[Dkc]

Or if his dad died of lung cancer after smoking all his life, would he get a tat of 20 bensons?

Passion for guns isn't always a good thing.

Crying my arse, he's just cringing and holding himself together before flying into a huge fucking rage in the dressing room.

He’s shown plenty if rumours of his sex life are to be believed - three other kids to two different mothers is the word from Liverpool.

A Durex tattoo might be more appropriate.

I think it varies depending on the person. When Suarez "cried" for Liverpool after they suffered a massive title blow 0-3 up away at palace to draw 3-3, I thought it was fake bullshit. He pulled the shirt over his face making a right scene as if his family had just been murdered.

I think Karius was genuinely humiliated and can understand the disappointing circumstances.

I've never cried at a footy match, but would not criticise a player for doing so if it appeared genuine.

 

[snootyfenooty]

You don't cry when United perform one of their famous fuck-ups, you just sigh.

I think "Oh no, not again" is about as emotional as it gets with our lot.

 

[mancunianblade]

No, I would just look at my bank account and have a massive smile on my face.

Maybe playing at the World Cup means more than money

Cried me eyes out when we lost to Burnley. That was the first BIG fuck up I'd had the displeasure of witnessing in the flesh. Plus I was 18 and I was absolutely steaming.

Didn't shed a tear when Simmo skied it against Huddersfield. That entire game was so fucking long and boring that by the time it had finished I was just happy to be leaving.

Yep, you've adapted to life as a Blade quite early in life. Once you've learned never to get your hopes up your education is complete (mines taking fucking forever by the way).

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Would you cry if you got injured in a game when there is a World Cup in 3 weeks that you may be forced to miss out on playing in?

I don't think I would tbh. Although I suppose you never know until it happens to you. But there are worse things that have happened and I didn't cry. I just spun around in circles screaming until I was sick.

Of all the things to moan about in Modern Football, I can't believe this is what bothers people.

If anything, it shows a bit of passion.

Shows self indulgence and self pity

[The Crab]

My Dad was never shot, so I don't think it would be fair for me to comment on the reason/justification for his tattoo.

But its not about him solely being black - you're talking shit there - as 11 of the 23 man England squad are black or mixed race, and non of them other than Sterling have had any negative press this morning...

You watch, tomorrow in The Mail "Marcus Rashford Cheats at FIFA"

Only time I’ve shed a tear at a game was the Walsall don givens fck up. I suppose It shows salah cares.
