Marcus Rashford

[Brentford 4 Life]

A rich, young footballer has achieved a great victory for society. Footballers are always portrayed in a negative light so it seems only right that this achievement receives the acknowledgment it deserves and so far I haven’t seen a mention of his efforts/achievements on here. Well done Marcus.

Totally agree.

 

[Banana]

I am total admiration for the way he has conducted this campaign and very pleased he's achieved what he set out to achieve

The cost is chickenshit. £30m. And it impacts so many.

Good on him. And I will be cheering him on now (well, except for a couple of occasions next season!)

 

[seanrs]

Top bloke. Clearly hasn’t forgotten the problems he faced as a kid. Brilliant piece on GMTV this morning Piers Morgan showing a clip of Matt Hancock stating that footballers need to do their duty. Piers responded by asking if he and the rest of the cabinet are considering a salary cut like their counterparts in New Zealand have

 

[Kingston Bee]

Top man, and for one so young. Credit where its due.

 

[hitchinb]

You beat me to it. Heard the government's screeching u-turn while I was driving - nearly forced me off the road - and I got home ready to start a thread like this.
Such a decent lad, he ought to be a Bee.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Like him as a player. Like him as a person. Fair, fast and efficient in both.

 

[Gee Bee]

No doubt they’ll now be press actively looking for a derogatory story to run as soon as possible.

I was going to start a thread this morning as I was surprised there wasn’t one. I struggled to make it non-political. Well done!

 

[Guildford Bee]

Another young man who is a credit to the profession and his family.

 

[nathanbee]

Absolute applause to him. Hopefully it will get the debate going on child poverty and the longer term solutions required.
All kids should have an equal chance of success (however you measure that). But they have little or no chance if they start the day hungry.

 

[kaebess]

Without any effort on my part, had him down as just another player getting paid a fortune for doing what they love.

Then every now and then one jumps out and proves you completely wrong. I hope lots more players decide they can apply influence the same way.

Full of admiration young man. You should be very proud, I’m sure your family is.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Fantastic effort by MR and i think people forget how young he is.

The sad thing is you read a few online saying "well why doesnt he put his own millions towards it" etc blah blah.

We really do live in a sad world.

Well done Marcus. A credit to the footballing world.

 

[WarrenBee]

Fantastic achievement by a 22 year old. Take a bow young man.

 

[Jezybee]

As someone who benefited from free school meals and means tested tuition fee remission at University I’d like to think that had I the same platform as Marcus Rashford I’d champion the cause in the same way he did. Even at the tender age of 22. Well done sir!

Getting more people who were on free school meals to University is a cause close to my heart. Have set up an internship at work where this is a criterium. Indeed, believe this is one of the best metrics of inclusivity / diversity / outreach for Universities.

 

[horshambees]

Marcus Rashford deserves a standing ovation, whenever it is possible, at every ground he plays at.

Well done Marcus and thank you.

 

[maddogging]

Much like LeBron James in the States, sportspeople have such an influence nowadays that it is so refreshing to see the influence used in such a positive manner.

 

[JohnOmarasShorts]

You have half term where children will not get the support/food, from what I’ve read that’s Marcus Rashford’s issue.

 

[Mark H]

The Trussell Trust website shows the number of emergency food parcels handed out over the last seven years. This is up to March 2020, imagine what it is now. I see nothing happening to change this trend, Marcus Rashford deserves his MBE and has my full support.

Hello,

I have removed plenty of posts and withdrawn the rights to post on this thread of 2 or 3 that always seem to want to turn public-spirited actions into a debate on politics.

Please keep to the topic. Any post that includes the phrase "I don't want to draw this into politics...." will incur a life ban.

 

[beesbees_bfc]

Some positive reports about Rajeev Sterling contributing this morning aswell. Apparently looking to use his own money to establish a charity to, both, feed the poorest short term and focus on social mobility in the medium to long term.

Wasn’t sure this warranted a whole new thread as it’s linked to a similar issue, if mods disagree feel free to delete or move.

 

[Untouchable]

Came on after the hour mark yesterday and scored a hat trick in 16 minutes.

Good to see that he’s remained focussed despite all the off field stuff.

Would have had four, but handed the ball to Martial for the penalty so that he could get off the mark for the season. Barnstorming hat-trick.

 

[Oxford Bee]

Ridiculous fuss about MR going out on his birthday after United lost. Any fans that are upset need to get a grip. A footballer shouldn’t have to go into mourning after a defeat. IMHO MR had nothing for which to apologise and the coach is deflecting.

Apparently it was a pre planned party so if they thought that might lead to negative press sure someone could have said something.

Presume other players went .

And TBF to Rashford he turned up to training the next day on time etc .

 

[jlove]

There’s a general media ´let’s dive on the slightest negative’ on Radshford. Can’t think why that is…

 

[wibs]

Surely Gareth Handbrake can't pick him for the Euros this summer if he caries on with this form and attitude.

Absolutely woeful. Strolling around the pitch, throwing his arms up on the air

Both Casemiro and McTominey have scored TWICE as many goals as him this season

 

[Untouchable]

Kane and Ollie Watkins should be nailed on. I hope Ivan does the business and goes to the Euros too.

Rashford is going to need a very good second half of the season to go to the Euros.

Well I hope he manages this, as a fit and firing Marcus Rashford is a world beater. Could be the difference between us winning and not.

Agreed a fit and firing Rashford is superb.

However currently he is lazy and unbothered

New contract in the bag - lacking motivation?

 

[gbems92]

Thank god we have a group who i dont think would ever trot around unbothered shrugging their shoulders. The likes of rashford and especially fernandes sulking would infuriate me.

 

[Mattingly Bee]

The inclusion of his club mate Slab Head at centre half will see England undone.

 

[Hippobee]

Rashford is toilet this season. Shearer was scathing about his attitude on MotD.

But I'm sure Southgate will pick him for the Euro squad. He picked Slabhead, who couldn't even get in Manure's team!

 

[wibs]

Maguire may be useless from time to time but at least his commitment can never be questioned.

 

[Untouchable]

True - Rashford does some exceptional charity work and should be applauded for doing so.

Also true - he’s been toilet this season and doesn’t deserve to play for England without some serious improvement.

That’s the equivalent of me giving them 5p each.

 

[I'll Bee Damned]

That’s the equivalent of me giving them 5p each.

He gave up a morning of his time and a decent amount of cash. A little uncharitable to belittle it. I haven’t given up a morning of my time for a good cause, so he’s doing more than me

 

[Paul O'Brien]

That’s the equivalent of me giving them 5p each.

And did you?

 

[AB]

That’s the equivalent of me giving them 5p each.

It’s not much by comparison to how much he has but it’s a lot more to the recipient.

 

[jlove]

You’re looking at it through the wrong end of the telescope. He may not be the greatest footballer but he’s a well-grounded human being.

 

[Leonardo]

I just cannot see what Rashford is doing this season. He's completely lost it like Sterling when they should be approaching their best years.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

You’re looking at it through the wrong end of the telescope. He may not be the greatest footballer but he’s a well-grounded human being.

You’re quite right actually.
I’m very down at the moment and have gone very cynical.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Fully agree.
Ignore me.
I’m a tw*t.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

And did you?

I’m a depressed tw*t.
Please disregard my comment.

 

[Silly Hat]

Please disregard my comment.

Hey, hope you’re ok ?? Stay strong.

 

[savvy 2210]

Like everyone else. No matter how much you earn or get as the case may be. Maybe he"s tired of football and needs a break. I know for a fact how sick and tired of my work, dreading going in the front door. Turning around going back home like most people I think. Feigning a sicky. He can't do this.

 

[Paul O'Brien]

Please disregard my comment.

Disregarded. Hope you are okay. Depression is a real nasty thing.

 

[Super_horns]

Richard Keys says Rashford is bored.

“ Addressing the affects is a bit like lambasting Rashford for his form - instead of asking ‘what’s the issue’? I’ll tell you. He’s bored sh*tless going to work every day for ten Hag. And he’s not alone. It must be mind numbing working with the Dutchman round the clock. ”

Didn’t he sign a new contract recently so obviously isn’t that unhappy under the manager .

You’re not a tw*t, mate.
The low mood will pass. ?
