Great idea. Now that would make an impact and the news channels. All you who are keen, off you go. I’ll be looking out on Saturday. I bet the numbers who do = 0. Or is it something just for others to do!
Yup. Makes it easier to get up afterwards. If the people near me want to take the knee, I’ll give them space. But all nonsense really, nobody would. Just another of those things that only others should do.
So are churches but people still manage to take a knee.
And now people need to respect their decision not to do it.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 2:33 pm All people were asking for was to respect the players decision to do it. Not sure how you're spinning this out into some wider point about hypocrisy or virtue signalling.

But then you get comments like “It’ll be interesting on Saturday to see if we’re the first set of fans to boo their own players for not taking the knee, given what a bunch of lefties we are (the SS hoolies and assorted cabbies excluded, obviously).”
I agree. It’s hilarious.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 3:06 pmOrnchurch wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 2:55 pmAnd now people need to respect their decision not to do it.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 2:33 pm All people were asking for was to respect the players decision to do it.

No one is going to boo the players on Saturday for not taking the knee as it’s a decision taken in support of one of our black players who was racially abused who obviously thinks not enough has been done by the governing bodies and the government to stamp it out.Ornchurch wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 2:55 pmAnd now people need to respect their decision not to do it.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 2:33 pm All people were asking for was to respect the players decision to do it.

I have got my head around it.

It really isn’t that difficult to get your head around.
I’m not worked up. You seem to find the issue of racism so hilariously trivial, baffling really. Just keep quiet if you have nothing positive to add.Ornchurch wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 4:48 pmI have got my head around it.

And that is the right answer to the whole question of taking the knee. People have the right either way, without the boos.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 3:32 pmGiven that you’re not a complete fucktard, I’m going to wager that you won’t be booing anyone.
Yeah come on biggsy, why you getting so worked up about it? You’ll be having a meltdown like me if you keep this up.Ornchurch wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 4:48 pmI have got my head around it.

Heh - I wouldn't know, I'm a fat bar-steward.
Big fan of the "if you want us to let in refugees why don't you put them up in your own home" trope.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 9:49 am against people suggesting you do something yourself?
Making a point to whom? A couple of thousand who probably didn’t notice, or care or even know why. Maybe just a local thing within the club. A pointless point! But if it helps within the club, fine. And the point being?
