i am no legal expert but can you be thrown out the ground for booing taking the knee.
At Norwich last night a fan was ejected for booing the blm protest, under freedom of laws you are allowed to express an opinion section 10  believe.
Booing is not racist it won’t be in the club rules as being banned in the ground.
Legally i think any club is on thin ice with this one.

If you are on private property the owner of that property can remove you for any reason it deems fit enough to do so.

Thin ice indeed. This is the logical conclusion of players doing something as daft as taking the knee. Your own supporters at risk of being thrown out of the stadium because they don't believe in it. It is getting more and more like big brother - what you are and are not allowed to do.

I suppose more and more fans won't bother going back if players insist on taking the knee as time goes on.

Article 10 of the Human Rights   grants freedom of expression. This is incorporated into the Human Rights Act.All legislation in this country has to be Human Rights Act Compliant.
Booing could constitute behaviour likely to cause a breach of he peace.However although I am not up-to-date I  am not aware of existing case law which would set a precedent to establish an authority .


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.

If you wanted to protest taking of the knee......couldn't you just turn away from the pitch while it is happening .......surely you can't be thrown out for turning away

I don’t agree with singing a song in honour of an unelected head of state but I don’t boo it...

Some of these fucktards need to get a grip.

I’d imagine, with it being private property then the club can eject someone for contravening their rules and regulations...

So you get ejected for booing “taking the knee”, but not for anything else such as ref decisions, or can you be ejected for that also?

Isn't part of going back into stadiums that you arent supposed to shout, sing, chant etc ?  I suppose they could claim "booing" was in breach of that.
