I hope fans nearby tell the racist pricks to shut up.

Did they up the intensity today?jamespevans wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 6:59 pmThe players did the right thing today and last week. By not taking the knee last week they brought the debate about the need for it out into the open and also drew the racists (and/or apologists for) on the board out into the open. By taking the knee today they showed that a 10 second gesture continues to be an important stance.
It's not odd but bizarre.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:38 pm Sounds like it is just the 3 or 4 dickheads who boo at our games at this point, but still a properly odd thing to do in earshot of our own keeper who just got racially abused.

The squad and the club seem to be trying to steer some sort of middle course here - not abandoning the gesture entirely, but doing it in such a way that they hope not too many people notice. Which seems to defeat the object. If they're not prepared to face down the morons who boo them, it does lose a lot of its power.
You're missing the point, the booing is because sporting venues are being highjacked for political gesturing, If I want politics I'll go to a political meeting and/or join a political party again. The sooner it is abandoned the better, it has achieved sweet FAOyinbO wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 7:57 pm No knee last night either, although there was some gesture with the two squads intermingling and wearing the "No Room For Hate" t-shirts before kick-off.

I used to boo before it was either racist or a protest against revolutionary Marxism. Back in those days it was simply a scientifically proven method of boosting the team's performance.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 8:44 pmIt's not odd but bizarre.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:38 pm Sounds like it is just the 3 or 4 dickheads who boo at our games at this point, but still a properly odd thing to do in earshot of our own keeper who just got racially abused.
It's almost like they are there to further some sort of other political agenda and don't give a toss about the club and its players.
Are there any booers on this MB?

Fairly certain it's Taxio / .918 etc etc. When I can be arsed I'll take a closer look - sure I've perma'd him more than once for racism. At which point he'll bugger off back to the dark side and bitch about how PC it all is over here.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 10:10 amIt’s just a wum ‘character’, best to foe and ignore.OyinbO wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:56 am11 pages, and still going...Type high wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 4:11 am

Wasnt it a fan from another club sending abuse via social media that triggered this change in stance?OyinbO wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:55 amSomething that the Club doesn't seem to be able to explain very wellRonnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 9:28 pmWhat even was that?OyinbO wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 7:57 pm No knee last night either, although there was some gesture with the two squads intermingling and wearing the "No Room For Hate" t-shirts before kick-off.

Honestly, I'm a bit embarrassed that the Club I support is running scared of a few morons amongst our support that represent a small minority of the fanbase.
