I have to ask...why are you replying to a 6 month old post from over 1,000 pages ago?

He has to carefully consider his answer

You cannot use the word "serious" in the same sentence as the rags.

There was a joke shop on Tib Street years ago that was positively sombre compared to this new-look rag outfit.

We've been here before with the potential threat the next incoming player for the rags will impose on the league.

Since the pisscan called time, the rags have had plenty of very talented players and managers and yet they continue to provide their share of slapstick comedy.

In a nutshell.

There are some like that, but others focus on how his PR team have manipulated the narrative, to put Rashford front and centre, and for all the credit to be channeled towards him, to the extent he's now received the MBE.

If you look back, the original idea and campaign stemmed from the Co-op. They scrapped their usual planned Easter 2020 campaign, and used the money to promote a new national fundraising campaign for FareShare instead (and also donated £1.5 mil.).

Rashford originally only tweeted his support for the campaign, before a month or so later becoming the face / figurehead of the campaign. The campaign rocketed with his help (eventually making about £20 million - approx 10x the expected amount), and around this time was when he also asked how he could best use his influence to help overturn the government school meal voucher decision. Again with help and advice from the Co-op he then wrote the open letter to MP's which eventually led to the u-turn etc.

Further to this, he then got himself on 'The Times 2021 Giving List' where at first glance it appears as though he's personally donated £20 million (125% of his actual estimated wealth) to charities. As you can see this is absolute bollocks. The 20 million listed is the Co-op/ Fareshare scheme above of which he was mainly only the figurehead.

Personally i'm happy with his contribution and involvement, and how it lead to the extra millions generated and the government u-turn.
What i'm less happy about is the down-playing/ minimizing of the original Co-op/Fareshare scheme and the hard work and donations of the volunteers and other contributors.

Perfectly articulated mate.........

No wonder his game has gone to shit. He can't be doing much training with all these other activities going on in his life

I’ve not bothered to check but is there a correlation - the worse the rags get the more we see St Findus of Rashford ?

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

They are claiming 1 in 7 of the world's population is a rag?

So that makes them more accountable for the climate crisis than any other team?

Tick-tock is sounding more like Big Ben's chimes...

Boris is the embodiment of Bunter, overweight and always expecting salvation in the the form of a Postal Order on Monday.

Do they still do Postal Orders ?? Seriously !!
