It used to be in support of that bloke who died of an overdose, nowadays, not a clue.Need to stop this now
Players choice, got nothing to do with anyone else.Its the players choice. Its not a problem unless you make it one.
That's your misunderstanding.It used to be in support of that bloke who died of an overdose, nowadays, not a clue.
Bore off mate
Erm… no it ** didn’tIt used to be in support of that bloke who died of an overdose, nowadays, not a clue.
Why don't you just 'do one', you complete and utter no-mark?Need to stop this now
Give us your comment then. The floor is your's ......Ooooo my bad - imagine trying to have an opinion and comment on a forum
If the players didn't want to do it we'd all know about it.Need to stop this now
It’s been going on so long - I’m totally against racism, but don’t see how this is helping the cause . I understand it’s personal choice , as it’s my personal choice to not want to support it now . You go ahead and support it - that’s your choiceGive us your comment then. The floor is your's ......
To me it means nothing.That's your misunderstanding.
Halifax misunderstood why it started and why it happens.To me it means nothing.
I'm not racist and don't feel the need to show my support for people I don't know.
I do show friendship and support to my friends.
If I was called upon to help or support someone I would do but as a symbolic statement I personally think it's become a thing players do because it's something they must be seen to do.
For that reason it's lost its real message.
Can’t you just shut your eyes for three seconds and pretend it never happened?Need to stop this now
In total agreement. Commendable post.Any gesture that is a statement against racism which is far to prevalent in our society, is a good thing in my book.
I think they're just doing it now to wind gammony types up, which is also a good thing.Any gesture that is a statement against racism which is far to prevalent in our society, is a good thing in my book.
Just more Woke nonsense. If the players want to do it then fine. If they are told to do it then it's a different matter.
But, surely, is it not simply helping the cause by keeping the whole issue very much in the public eye? And, whilever there is news coverage, for example, of continuing racism/racist attacks, people claiming they can no longer see the need for 'taking the knee' are, basically, falling foul of the very point the gesture was designed to tackle: complacency.It’s been going on so long - I’m totally against racism, but don’t see how this is helping the cause . I understand it’s personal choice , as it’s my personal choice to not want to support it now . You go ahead and support it - that’s your choice
You don't get it, do you ? Would you say this to Marv, Kaddy or CJ ? Probably not, I could be wrong ?It’s more controversial in the stands these days more people in my block in the west stand simply stand up and turn their back on it just pointless these days imo.
Racism amongst the elderly isn't uncommon, thankfully younger generations are more understanding and generally better educated!It’s more controversial in the stands these days more people in my block in the west stand simply stand up and turn their back on it just pointless these days imo.
Very succinctly put, sir.No different to any other gesture. Wearing a poppy won’t bring back the deceased but it’s done to pay respect to those that lost a life. Taking the knee won’t end racism but it draws attention to an issue that still very much exists. If those that do it consider it of value then no-one - certainly not a bunch of white guys from a predominantly white community in a society dominated by predominantly white males - should really be determining when it is/isn’t necessary
Seig heil!It’s run its course now it’s never been effective never will be it’s as pointless as fitting wheels to a tomato. it’s folk acting like sheep, I just block stuff out nowadays let ‘em get on with it just take your time with your pre match pint you’ll miss it innit
So.... the knee probably ain't working whereas points deductions may make the pricks think twice if it means their team could miss out on promotion or get relegatedFor the record - there’s literally another post on this site tonight about the racist abuse of a player in today’s Coventry v Sheffield Wednesday game…. So…
How do you know they are the elderly I’am referring to?Racism amongst the elderly isn't uncommon, thankfully younger generations are more understanding and generally better educated!

Why don’t you pop over and ask them for yourself next home game I’m sure they’ll give you an answer block P it is.Does turning your back for all of around 5 seconds mean you support racism?
A 5 second gesture against racism gets a back turning gesture FFS
Can’t you just shut your eyes for a second and not read the forumCan’t you just shut your eyes for three seconds and pretend it never happened?

Clearly workingRacist incidents against AC Milan and Coventry yesterday
AC Milan players walked off the pitch after 30 minutes apparently.
Taking the knee is against racism so appears it needs to continue after these events yesterday
I 100 % support stamping out racism in football and always have done!!!It all started off during lockdown matches in support of BLM and the killing of George Floyd and now it's about stamping out racism in football.
Spot on Ash and there is a certain boxer who l will never forgive or forget for what he said at a BLM march Mr Anthony Joshua!I 100 % support stamping out racism in football and always have done!!!
I fully supported the “Kick It Out” that was already established.
When I was a young student I fully supported “The Anti-NazinLeague” and attended many a “Rock Against Racism Festival/concert.
However, I I find the “taking the knee” a revenge full jesture supporting a black crackhead who had a criminal record as long as his arm, who was subject to wrongful actions of the US Police who have in turn been tried and convicted by the respective law of the land.
I see taking the knee as an excuse for ethnic minorities and looney left tendencies to vandalise statues of our history (be it unsavoury) and threaten to attack cenotaphs we’re young men paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting against Nazi racism to enable us us the freedom we all have (irrespective of colour and ethnicity) in the UK today.
So my opinion on taking the knee….KICK IT OUT !!

Died of an overdose of having a policeman kneel on his neck for 10 minutes.It used to be in support of that bloke who died of an overdose, nowadays, not a clue.
