Just back

Finally plucked up the courage to watch the highlights. We were poor all over the pitch, simple as that.

What are you ‘expressing an opinion about’ by booing?
That would be my point. Booing is for children at pantomimes.

So, you’re either expressing your displeasure and disagreement with the players who ‘take the knee’ because they want to oppose racism, or you oppose the BLM cause, or something else. Why does it require a person to make a noise ? If you are in one of two camps, why not just remain silent and let them make their choice unopposed and without your derision. Our players have stopped doing it now anyway. I’m just puzzled that people seem to have a strong reaction to it (and boo or jeer), and why that occurs. I don’t think people are honest about their motives. Press them on why they are booing and they either can’t tell you or can’t help revealing some form of unpleasant belief.

Because people are entitled to express an opinion about a gesture they disagree with .I do wholeheartedly disagree with the BLM movement .As all the kneeling only started when that lot piped up that's the reason people boo .Are people who boo a poor ref not entitled to .,or a player that's feigned injury .Nowhere have I said players shouldn't kneel .My point is people should have the right to voice their disapproval .It's called democracy

I’m not sure what the first bit of your post means.

Nobody is saying you’re not entitled to an opinion, and booing the ref or a player feigning injury is different, and this is the key bit, to booing your own players, who have made a decision to take the knee because, and they very clearly stated why, they want to show their support for the notion of anti racism. They haven’t said they’re subversives, or cultural Marxists or the f@cking wokerrati or some other utter cobblers. If you believe in democracy and people expressing their opinion, let them do it without your derision. Nobody’s saying you can’t boo, or asking you to join in, or put money in a box, or anything else. Just respect their decision.

We know you really think it’s ‘virtue signalling’ anyway, and I think you couldn’t really give a convincing and detailed description of what that is. And, that’s another response I wouldn’t say to our players.

Still, our players have made their point and we don’t do it now, but with the World Cup imminent, loads of these issues will arise again no doubt.
