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...

Nothing about keeping our players fresh for Charlton, at all. Simply, given the choice I’d rather lose to the top side in the division than a Charlton side that our fan base has seen as an irrelevant league 1 team for the past decade or so. That and the total and utter shame of losing to any...

To be honest, yesterday’s win over an inform Watford side was unexpected. I expected a defeat but everything clicked yesterday. We pressed high and in the 1st half we made them look pretty ordinary. 2nd half they played better but Azeez and Coburn took their goals well and we ran out deserved...

What I meant was that a point is no good for two sides who both want to continue a winning run and stay in (or in our case) get into the top six. You’re currently 2nd in the league, and if results go against you on Tuesday night, you could drop down to 7th (8th if we beat you) so you need to win...

Christ, we’re not even Alan Brazil 2025 vintage! :ROFLMAO: Having said that, we’ve hardly been mid table fodder these past few seasons, having finished 4 times in 8th position since our return to the Championship (with this being our 9th consecutive season in this division). Our problem this...

Great 2nd half, primarily because Fat Frank brought on your big guns, but our defensive resilience came out top again. Until then, we weren’t particularly troubled and our 2nd goal was massive, especially after we gave away a stupid, needless penalty and Wright pulled a goal back for you. All...
