And I wouldn’t dictate that the booers stop. I’m saying I think they shouldn’t boo. I think they’re wrong.

[Deereyme66]

‘Is every team in Euro 21 taking the knee.
No.’

No one is going to boo them for not doing it. They’re free to do as they wish. Absolutely pointless.

[Deereyme66]

Actually, you don’t know your a*** from your elbow. One minute you’re saying people haven’t got the right to protest, the next you are. Like I said, fascism. In your world people are only allowed to protest if you agree with the cause. You couldn’t make it up.

[Deereyme66]

‘Freedom is something we should cherish.
Is every team in Euro 21 taking the knee.
No.
Surely the “majority”of England fans should boo when watching their games in protest’.

Like I said, twisted logic. You don’t think people should have the right to protest you said above (actually you don’t think they have that right now which is even more bizarre). You support people booing people making a peaceful gesture about racial discrimination. This is sounding very similar to fascism and the behaviour of the black shirts. Perhaps you think they were right too?

[Deereyme66]

The players are making a stand. The so called supporters booing are the ones protesting. I wouldn’t expect a person of your intelligence, with the twisted logic you use and fairytales you repeat, to understand that.

[Deereyme66]

Nonsensical. Are you against what the Prime Minister is saying? Are you a traitor?

[Deereyme66]

The players, the FA, the Prime Minister, and the majority of supporters are asking the so called supporters that intend to boo today, not to. Are a minority still going to disgrace themselves and some posters on here still going to defend them? Show some respect. The Denmark and Finland fans in Copenhagen showed you how to behave.

I have, but that’s got nothing to do with it. What is it you’re saying apart from you haven’t heard it? There’s plenty of hard evidence out there to show it’s still going on and getting worse. Or do you deny that?

Football fans realise this ,so the political agenda being fostered upon genuine football fans is not acceptable to them.

The players have stated they are not taking the knee for political reasons. It’s to make a point about the racism black players experience. White players are supporting them by uniting with them. Are you saying they’re all lying?

[Deereyme66]

Low expectations for England. No matter how talented the players are, every tournament they seem to bottle it at some point. Semi-finals should be realistic though. Scotland are good to watch and a good unit but it’s a lot to ask for them to qualify from the group.
Hope I’m wrong. Wales have a tough group but you never know with Bale on form at the moment. I think quarter finals would be an achievement. Hope they go further.

It doesn’t seem to be working Mick, no. What else to do, I don’t know.

[Deereyme66]

Having said that, it probably would be for the best if they chose a different form of protest if only to stop this constant accusation of Marxism. It would also be interesting to see if the booing disappeared. Somehow I doubt it.

[Deereyme66]

Take your point Mick but there’s hundreds of Americanisms already here, why should this one be such a problem?

Maybe he meant ‘talking to the knee’ at the start of the season because they won’t have a clue what the manager is saying to them?

[Deereyme66]

Pointless question anyway given how far away the season start is. That wasn’t the point really though was it?

What don’t you understand about the players publicly stating they are not doing it to support BLM? I see you can’t help yourself with the silliness still.

[Deereyme66]

Why do these booers think they’re more qualified to tell the players what they really think than the players themselves?

'How hard do you wave your flag while booing England players? Why are you using up a seat a proper fan could have?'

How hypocritical to accuse me of not getting my facts right when you’re the one suggesting that any footballer is being made to take the knee. If you can’t handle the fact that they are voluntarily doing it and not being made to do it that’s your problem.

Previous post correction as it won’t let me edit now – ‘NOT as a political gesture’

My facts are right. The England players for instance are pretty much all publicly saying they are taking the knee (not ‘taking to the knee’, you can’t even get that right) as a political gesture but as a stand against racial inequality. Black and white players are united about it. Thankfully the majority of football supporters understand this and are standing up against an attempted derailment with roots in far right sources. Maybe you should get your facts right.

No one will be making them do anything they don’t want to. The public booing of a simple anti-racism gesture is a shameful, hurtful act. Doing so to young men who are regularly racially abused is doubly shameful. Pretending this has something to do with “keeping politics out”, or that creeping “Marxism” is a threat to your way of life in a Britain with a majority Conservative government is cowardly and disingenuous.

A hint of irony and rightly so I reckon. We’re not that sort of club anymore to flourish in non-league.

Lol, I thought you said the Scorpions had a poor side this year BS? Just looked at the current team and not surprised they spanked Plymouth today. Most are quality riders. Hope you enjoyed it. And you got to see Jason Crump for probably the last time.

Fair enough BS if the people you sit near aren’t going either. It would still be getting you out and amongst it though. Many of us, I’m sure, appreciate you’ve had a very tough time over the last year or so. I just think the interaction would be good for you. Sorry if that sounds patronising. It’s meant in good faith.
