Out of interest, if players are still taking the knee ahead of kick off when we are allowed back in the ground, will anyone on here boo them?

The fact that this kind of question is being asked suggests it needs to stop.

Id rather suggest to the club we stop doing it than boo. Thats probably the most sensible way forward.

I will not boo, but i will stay under the stand untill it the game kicks off.

There was various degrees of booing at every ground yesterday..But the media homed in on Millwall.

Kick it out - was the right way to highlight the subject.

Yep.

I do wonder if some of the booing was aimed at those booing too. A boo off.

Ruffle no feathers and change little?

What makes you think nothing has changed and the current measures don't work?

Evidence from decades of watching the game says exactly the opposite. Not perfect, but a million miles from where we were.

The current one on the other hand is doing the exact opposite.

Change what though? 

In this country we have decided to have an independent review into racial equality, I genuinely look forward to seeing that come out. If it’s anything like the Lammy report then fingers will be pointed at the hundreds of thousands of Black fathers who have fucked their parental responsibility off 

Perhaps all this taking the knee is making some of these fathers think again about their dereliction of duty

Maybe ask the players that have taken the knee if it’s worked

Like I said in the other thread, it's what, 30 secs and ultimately up to the players. Takes longer to pour a pint, imagine letting that ruin your day

If its such a frivolous act then why bother with it.

I ain't going back until we are fully back up and running, 2k fans is a fucking joke anyway, like a bunch of happy clappers.

I'm glad its starting back in some capacity, hopefully last month of season we may get back to full pelt, and more importantly back on aways next season.

Like I said other day if I get selected great if not I won’t lose sleep

And hopefully this knee farce will be over by then

Ask away. How many were even born in the 80s and weren't subject to the abuse that was prevalent?

The ones that occasionally receive abuse- what level of reporting and support is there now. 

Frankly your suggestion that nothing has worked is ridiculous. Utterly. 

Seems they are protesting about a wider issue, particularly in America. In which case fine, but do it away from the game please.

Worked enough rather than had no effect at all

Look online and you’ll see plenty of critique for Kick it out from ex players 🤷🏽‍♂️
