Breightmet Boy Posted Wednesday at 09:25 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:25 goody gumdrops, far too much politics in football. In the 70s n 80s we didn't have this problem, today the media are obsessed with filling their programmes with it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was truly barrel scraping with some of them 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted Wednesday at 10:47 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:47 Does seem interesting it’s being put to bed just before Qatar though. Fwiw I didn’t even realise it was still going on. It didn’t bother me in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted Wednesday at 11:37 Moderators Share Posted Wednesday at 11:37 they don't need to take the knee anymore because it's white players who get most abuse online now, so, job done https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11073767/Manchester-United-Cristiano-Ronaldo-Harry-Maguire-received-abuse-Twitter-season.html Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire received more abuse than any other Premier League players on Twitter last season, with EIGHT from Man United in the top 10 most abused and 68% of stars subject to negative messages so if we say 40% of abuse is at blacks, and as the article says: one in 12 of these attacks (8.6 per cent) targeted a player's race or another protected characteristic. then I'd say taking the knee has worked and now abuse is distributed more fairly well done to all involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWFC_LOVE Posted Wednesday at 11:53 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:53 Noticed quite a few booing the knee on Saturday. I think it should be scrapped and has lost what little meaning it had at this point; still don’t see what booing achieves mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
