The politics thread usually gets extra spicy between the football seasons. I suppose this is like a bite size version of that.

All the mental political things happen in the summer anyway. Nobody wants to riot on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke.

I can see the Ipswich players and fans now getting lots of stick from opposition fans in games, all the way through to the end of the season now.

It's international week, taking the piss out of another Championship team in the Championship thread should be fair game.

Save the actual debates about politics for elsewhere but mocking Ipswich is fair game.

Totally deserve it.

Be the same if it was Badenoch and Cheltenham, or Polanski and Cardiff or Davey and Portsmouth, or Starmer and Oxford, or whoever.

They shot themselves in the foot here.

It's the Farage and the signed Ipswich shirt, with his name on the back and the chairman association, that's been their downfall.

Weird that people outraged by Farage doing a stadium tour were defending making players take the knee under the banner of BLM and plastering it all over coverage of football, who it turns out were also grifting cunts.

The world is so fucked.

Is it a downfall? They aren't going bust or thrown out of the league.

Most of it will be people who aren't Ipswich Fans saying they are disgusted on social media. (or people pretending they were massive Ipswich fans).

It's like people saying they are going to boycott somewhere they have no intention of going to anyway just to look good online.

The actual football fans won't really care the next time they score from a gifted penalty.

Feel free to elaborate with an actual point.

It is just the same pattern as the politics threads.

Conflating "outrage" over a politician doing a stadium tour with "outrage" over the BLM movement. It's not difficult to see.

"It's just the same pattern as the politics threads" - I wouldn't know. I don't visit that section of the site. If only we knew an administrator that could keep politics talk to to the politics thread!

This is all I am going to say as there is really no point in arguing with you but if you think hosting a political party at your ground is the same as black people wanting to show their annoyance with racism then I feel sorry for you.

Hence, I said under the banner of BLM. Try reading.

This is why I said the world is fucked, people completely unable to actually have a discussion. Absolutely petrified of it.

So grifting cunts can't be compared if they have different skin colours when both get involved with football?

I'm not a school teacher, I didn't start the discussion in here. I just assume people have a level of common sense.

I'm happy to have discussions about football things. Hence why I'm on a football forum.

If I wanted to read/ contribute to political debate I'd rather do it on a different site, or talk to friends/ colleagues about it. A lot of the people on here can't spell the surname of our most successful recent manager - or the first name of our current top scorer, for that matter - correctly. I dread to think what the standard of discourse on the Politics thread is!

That's a big assumption. Especially when you aren't showing it yourself.

You didn't start the discussion, but you have the whereabouts to stop it/ move it somewhere else! What else do we pay you the big bucks for?

You're reading too much into the word "downfall."

Like my missus said last week, she's doing the London half marathon next month and is struggling to get up to speed. She says not training enough would be her downfall.

She doesn't mean she is not going to race, or not finish the race, she just means she might well end up walking the last part of it.

It's just a saying.

The bit where you likened people making a gesture in support of racial equality (made following an event that demonstrated that there is anything but) to a grifting politician seeking attention for its own sake.

That Black lives matter as well as being a specific organisation, is also a useful phrase for a more general movement is very relevant. Pretending that anyone objecting to footballers (or anyone) taking the knee was the result of careful investigation into a specific organisation is disingenuous in the extreme.

I honestly think it's pointless going down this route, it's just going to end up with an elongated row again isn't it

The statement from Coventry City FC players that time on why they were talking the knee was spot on and summed it all up for me, but I just think this thread is going to really go downhill even more rapidly if we start going back all over the taking the knee thing again.

Hence I said "under the banner" of a different set of grifters and not "No room for racism" etc.

If you really want me to venture this into off-topic, I have a question for the forum that I read online last night and I honestly don't know which way to go.

Who would win a half marathon between Sir Mo Farah and Luke Littler if every half mile they had to stop and checkout 501?

Most of the comments were pretty disparaging, pointing out that that Littler was a fat git who wouldn't make it round (probably by folk bigger then him). Obviously we'd need to know how good Sir Mo was at darts and if they had to finish on a double.

It's the standard though, just cry racism. You just prove my point.
