They had BLM banners all over stadiums, on the backs of players shirts but want us to now believe that the kneeling is nothing to do with it? LOL. That's me out of the now. Football is eating itself and for what purpose? Nothing is ever going to be the same again and for what? One of the things that struck me during that entire debacle over the supposed European Super League was the use of the term 'heritage supporters'. The likes of us lot basically. They don't want us around anymore. Feel we tarnish the brand. Not allowed to express any kind of disapproval at what is going on. Fine. They win on this. Let them have their World Cup in Qatar, their VAR making a mockery of the game and somehow people booing what they see, and with absolute justification given how it came about as a reality in British football, as being worthy of big brother style 'education'. Nah. I am out.

You would have to explain how this helps.

It's true, I distinctly remember telling you at the start of Covid that minorities would be amongst the highest groups to be infected.....something that caused you much annoyance if I remember....you definitely underestimated them. Only for myself to be proven right once again. Haha You are only ever proven right in your own legendary lunch time.

The FA caused this problem by allowing it to happen and now they want the government to sort their mess out.

Leaving aside the reason for taking the knee, I wonder whether an opposing team who chooses not to kneel, will somehow gain a physiological advantage by ‘looking down’ and feeling superior to the other team. It may fire them up to take advantage of a ‘weak’ opponent. Just a thought.
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |
