Well, I’m sorry you feel that way about me, as I am in no way defending racism (as you think I am) so I will leave this topic at that and let you all get back to the match thread. Mods, sorry if I’ve derailed this thread but I wanted to correct what I believe were a few inaccuracies about my...

I have black. white and Indian mates who I went to school with, over 50 years ago, and we all attend home games at the Den. I know for a fact that it would anger the black lads I’m with if they were singled out as being called a black bas*ard instead of just a Millwall bas*ard, because in their...

What did the actual taking of the knee achieve in the end, because it did eventually stop? If it mattered so much to so many people (and players) why is it still not in use in football today? In the link I posted, even John Barnes said at the time that the gesture was pointless. Racism still...

I’m not justifying anything. I’ll put it a different way. Words can sometimes hurt people. They shouldn’t but some people are more thin skinned than others and tend to react. So if you wanted to wind up a racist Scouser, wouldn’t that slur upset him more? The chant “I’d rather be a Londoner...

And that’s precisely the point of my argument. The black player celebrating his goal by taking the knee could have inflamed the situation and caused trouble. Another reason why sport and politics should be kept separate - there are too many people who get wound up by sport and politics...

The word “Tribal” means ”relating to or characteristic of a tribe, a social group with shared ancestry, culture, and often language, but it also describes strong in-group loyalty, like among sports fans or political parties. It signified strong unity within a group, sometimes with suspicion...

I’m sorry to hear that about your mate. I hope he reported it to the officials in the stands? Unfortunately we do still have a small number of much older fans (like that OAP woman) who can’t let go of the past and still cling to their racial prejudices. I’m sure had that woman been sat in the...

Couple of things… Chanting at fans of other clubs has been going on since football first started having home and away fans in the same stadium. Things get tribal and the north-south divide attitude doesn’t help matters. How many YouTube football chanting compilation videos show what Man Utd...

Isn’t that why every clubs opposition fans always go on about us lot wearing a lot of Stone Island caps? 🤣 Thankfully, for myself, I have a full head of luscious hair and have never ever in my lifetime felt the need to wear a cap of any description! 🤣

No offence taken! It’s all good. And you’re right about Charlton fans, although I would have used a harsher expletive! 🤣

Thanks, but I’d rather you read it and (respectfully) educate yourself and learn that there are always two sides to a story, and it’s better to listen to both before making a better, informed decision.

Thank you.

Thank you.

£14.5M actually. 🤣 Esse was one of our brightest Academy players who played 61 games for us, across all competitions from his debut in late 2022 until his January 2025 transfer to Crystal Palace. He scored six goals, with most of his appearances being in the Championship. He was a good...

First of all, I don’t hate Charlton, not in the same way Coventry fans hate the Villa. I see Charlton more as an irrelevance really - a team and fan base we like to laugh at, mainly due to their delusions of grandeur in believing that their rightful place should be in the Premier League, and not...
