They would rightfully get dogs abuse from the fans round about them. I wouldn't even attempt to compare soldiers dieing in war with football players taking a knee my friend, quite frankly an embarrassing comparison HG5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt expect that from you No one is talking about jailing people for booing.

Popular Post LegendofCoop 17,148 Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 I backed the players decision to stop taking the knee after the Prague game. That was their decision, and theirs alone. I back them now deciding to take it again. It's their decision. They're our players. Whatever they decide to do against racism, we HAVE to back them.

Or are you hypocritical in your 'rights'? Difficult as I would it, I would have to accept it as I could not accept the removal of a cornerstone of democracy, namely the right to peaceful protest.

stuart1994 4,263 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 This thread just shows that despite the good work our club is doing there’s still a percentage of our support who are miles off it, a shame really. bluenoz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mols94 3,663 Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 Thread should be locked, absolute buzz killer ahead of match tomorrow.

He's saying that you get a lot of idiots saying I don't wear poppies or do minutes silence because I don't celebrate war and imperialism. Which isn't the point of Remembrance Day or poppies at all. Exactly the same as our players point of taking the knee isn't them endorsing the BLM organisation or Marxism. born a blue nose, Cracked Actor, TamCoopz and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domthenbud 899 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Our sportsmen didn’t take the knee for many years, and I go back to the Mark Walters incidents. It went back much further. Our sportsmen have now been taking the knee for a year or so and while it hasn’t eradicated racism( wasn’t going to happen), it has started huge debate on why it is happening, is the knee doing any good, booing is being questioned. I think it is well worth continuing the knee, for a wee while, in the forlorn hope that some good will come out of it. And IMO boo the booers.

I don't like the gesture but no way I would boo it. That's your choice mate and tbh neither would I but I dont think Tav can just turn his back on the political nature of this protest. Just because someone ignores a multitude of horrific practices globally does not mean it doesnt happen. Hadron Collider 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple! We don’t have to back anything tbh just don’t fucking boo, if the players feel it’s the right thing to do let them get on with it, it’s all we’re asking, if you disagree with it just keep quiet for a few seconds then get on with backing the team it’s not hard fs respect our players right to protest in whatever way they feel necessary. slimjim1690 and LegendofCoop 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
