Have you ever considered the fact they're booing just the actual pointless gesture because it's nothing to do with the race of the players or even football & people are fed up of seeing it? Hence why they're cheering Dabo etc - has all the virtue signalling taking the knee nonsense actually made a difference to racism?

If we're allowed to boo pointless stuff can we just boo your entire existence.

Not seen that before but it puts into words exactly what I've been thinking but unable to explain.

One of the many positives of footballers taking the knee is that it’s outed the really thick people in our society, so give yourself a pat on the back

My trouble is with I’m all of this is when Prem league players start actively saying they won’t take the knee anymore sends a message it’s losing its gesture. However I would never condemn booing people taking the knee. But I expect this to fizzle out rightly it wrongly. Maybe w one though

Marxism too. I looked at the Millwall forum when we played them recently and every other word is Marxism/Marxist.

Call me a sceptic, but I don't think they all know what it means.

Millwall were formed of East End dockers who were major contributors to the formation of the Labour Party and took part in The General Strike which was about as close as the country ever got to a full socialist revolution.

Proper abandoned their roots (which they pretend to be so proud of) there.

He also cheered when Dion Dublin scored so can never be a racist.

to be fair to him I don't think for one minute he is, but if he says he isn't he will expect people to accept that so why can't he accept the explanation of the players he claims to support as to why they take the knee.

Yes, could argue the sentence isn't really harsh enough but finally a prosecution at least.

Have we heard any more on the Dabo abuse? Was the culprit ever identified?

Unfortunately there were boo's from our support last night, as our players took the knee.

Booing your own players before kick off. Wow.

Yeah but have you ever considered the fact I'm making up on the spot to excuse scumbags while throwing in lazy terms like woke and virtue signalling and it's health and safety gone mad

This isn't good. The National Police Chiefs Council's football lead wrote to all 92 clubs offering to work with clubs and players against online racist abuse.

Of the 92 only 49 have said they are interested and even worse only 8 clubs have actioned anything. Figures for the PL are even worse only 3 saying they are interested and none having actually taken up the offer to date.

Just three Premier League clubs accept police invitation to help tackle online racism, top officer reveals

After writing to all 92 English league clubs in July, Chief Constable Mark Roberts, the National Police Chiefs Council's football lead, has been left disappointed by the commitment from many.
