I can only think of one reason why individuals would boo that. The most abhorrent set of supporters in UK football, their reputation goes before them. Open your eyes, it’s indefensible. Yes they have a reputation but folk are bored by it so if they boo or turn backs doesn’t make them racists and it won’t just be millwall if it continues Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If anybody in the ground makes racist references against a person of colour (hope that's correct), throw them out, ban them for life! The football happens the same time as it would regardless, it only takes a few seconds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aye there's plenty of racial equality in English football..... 'sarcasm' Ffs, how many black/foreign/Asian players are there in the professional game playing for our clubs in the English pyramid? I bet you it's a lot bigger percentage than the population ethnicity breakdown, we do NOT have a problem in the english game apart from a few fucking dickheads on the terraces, and they are few and far between. Like I have stated before, any fan spouting racist connotations against a player gets banned for life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, let’s play that thinking through If it was a Nazi solute would it bother you? It would only take a few seconds! Of course the time involved isn’t the issue, the politics is It’s a symbol supporting a political group from the extreme left, who are anti capitalist amongst other things Fuck BLM However, if the players want to support kick it out ahead of each game in order to show support for anti racism then they can crack on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Grey 805 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Tbh it looks like most of our players were still kneeling for 10 minutes at the beginning of each half of today's game v Port Vale 🙄 Edited December 5, 2020 by Mr Grey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, it’s got nothing to do with it only lasting a couple of seconds, It’s about the Politics The politics of BLM fucking stinks, it shouldn't be anywhere near mainstream sport in Britain If it’s really not about supporting that political ideology then change the name, simple really Quote Link to post Share on other sites

birch-chorley 641 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Here’s an idea, why don’t we get football players to protest in support of Britain First before each game It won’t have anything to do with the racist political group Britain First and the loonies that run it. It will simply be about putting Britain First, surely nobody could disagree with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are assuming, have you ever thought that it maybe just the average fan who wants to get back to some normality, they've been in lockdown, they have had to put up with all the political shite thats been going on for the last 8 months, and they see Football as an escape ?

Surely the majority of people just want to watch a football match without any politics involved, it a release ffs, a release from the rigours of work, its weekend, its football, fuck it!, and it's not racist to say so. Unfortunately it seems if people have an alternative view on things, they are deemed racist, bigots etc... al I am saying is that folk want to go and watch football, football that beautiful game we all love, that us there for all to watch and for all to play. Fuck politics!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
