Quoted from realist
I dont judge anyone by their appearance or origin and think all races should be treated equally.   However, if we ever get back to watch a game and the players pull this stunt it will result in loud and sustained booing from myself. Enough is enough. How anyone cant think that is racist is beyond me


You show such a lack of understanding. Yes I think this is racist however you dress it up. Not only that you are booing the players our players. So yes I'm calling you a racist bigot.

Do you boo anyone crossing them selves or making any other religious observance, if not you are then indeed being rascist.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

BLM has caused division and that is clear in the vote result on this thread. I stand for racial equality but BLM, no

Lots here in the “no” camp suggesting that they’re aaallll ffoooorrr racial equality, just not this campaign. What do you suggest then gents? Anything you might be able to get on board with without having a hysterical crying fit?

It wasn’t long back a group of volunteers painted a mural on the back wall of the Pontoon to celebrate the diversity of the club’s former players - that was also met with floods of tears from the same people as are openly weeping in this thread.

You don't need to stand for BLM, it's about taking the knee

To be fair, I have never heard of "zang enwah" so no wonder they are crying over that...

Never ever will I support this clap trap, Holloway spouting his drivel when he stated fans should be banned for booing? very dictatorial outlook, If people have the freedom to take the knee, then equally people have the freedom to voice their opinion against it. It is no more racist than saying black lives matter..

It appears you can only have a opinion if it aligns with the media and their skewed perceived norm.

I do not need to take the knee to support racial equality or anything else for that matter. In fact taking the knee was born out of BLM

I am so sorry. I didn't realise you had a stutter.

Is there anything we can do pre-match for stutterers everywhere?

Wrong. Taking the knee as a form of race related protest can be traced back to 2011/2012 in American football, before the BLM movement existed. It became a major political issue in 2016 when Colin Kaepernick (San Francisco quarterback) 'took a knee' during the playing of the national anthem, at which point candidate Trump and other right wing commentators attacked him for being anti-American.

The first recorded appearance of #blacklivesmatter is in 2013 as a response to the aquittal of a US police officer accused of murdering a black man.

Black Lives Matters does not have a clear organisation and has never put forward a candidate for election in any country and therefore is not a political party.

Sorry that the facts don't support the right wing dogma.
