When it gets to the point of so called supporters booing their own team for showing support for their team mates something is very wrong

Before we know it, the country will be like Venezuela. 😁


There’ll be a few on here wondering what the connection between Santa Claus and kneeling is in that image.

First and last post on this.  I'm not bothered if the players want to take the knee or not, their choice, if they want to, then fine, if not, then fine.
I'm not going to lose sleep over it either way, or waste my time and breath booing the tv like that idiot on twitter lol, what a load of bollox.

Life is full of choices for us to make, good or bad, liked or disliked but what we all have to do is accept each other's choice. What we read is somebody's personal preference and what democracy, freedom of speech and this site is all about.

The OT is all about England players taking the knee and for me it is up to each individual player to make his choice. This statement about a 'collective' decision really means people acting as a group and does not reflect the opinion of individuals but more of the majority.

As for the booing of your own team, for whatever reason, before the match had kicked off is not for me. Some may say they are expressing an opinion, free speech, etc. How would these same people react if players went up to them and criticised them for their actions? Would that be free speech and expressing an opinion?

The only person I think getting any pleasure from this thread is Yoda, when he started it way after the match started. As Yoda put it ' I think it just creates issues', so thinking it will create issues, which it certainly has, why start it in the first place? To cause unnecessary dialogue?

No individual on here is going to solve the issue of taking the knee so perhaps it's better to let sleeping dogs lie, as the saying goes. As someone posted this issue as well and been discussed before so all us should let it  be.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I don't think they should take a knee, the link with BLM splits opinions and causes more division then unity which hurts the cause more then helps.

They should find their own way to make their opinion heard, link arms or something instead.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

You think that linking arms would not be booed by the racist morons?
