Ah bless, it's really important that you don't differ with Zaha on politics.

Is this another of your really adept posts?

Doesn’t seem he does think differently if he chooses a picture of the one player who didn’t kneel.

Nah, but I take some comfort in knowing he’d think you were a w*nker.

Take that comfort Dan, it's kind of all you really have.

That was another laugh out loud moment, so thanks for the fun.

That from somebody whose whole approach on most things is based on dubious assertions and the conspiracy theories of those on the right. Who believes that Trump has done a good job in the USA and that the Democrats are to blame for everything that's gone wrong. I could go on but I have more important things to attend to.

My history on here is exposing the crap you talk for what it is, and that will be my future too.

Everything you post is your personal opinion. Do try to stop posting balderdash.

The only exposing you do here are your own biases and nastiness.

What you expose elsewhere is best left unimagined but do it too often and your future might be on the wing. Not at Selhurst. In Wandsworth.

Like I said, let's see how Millwall move on from here.

Again, I agree that now the parade will be different.

But you forgot West Ham, Colchester, Reading, Brentford.... And it won’t end there.

I think the damage had been done while almost everyone was at home on furlough with the demands the police took the knee at the BLM protests/riots, just before being attacked and chased away (under orders? With no riot gear), plus the vandalism, with what has been two tier policing this year.

What really should be happening is some debate and meaningful and reasonable changes, not pointless gestures and virtue signalling that makes very little difference to anyone’s lives with regards to the subject of racial inequality.

Not yet. I am involved in the tricky interpretation required of the current restrictions and how they apply to a particular situation that needs to be resolved before noon tomorrow. I am just pausing between exchanges of emails. It could be a while.

Sounds exciting.

Make sure you use milk and not water though.

Bit in bold doesn't make much sense to me but anyway, I'm not arsed about your link tbh mate, if you can't see the clear distinction I made between the knuckle dragging vocal minority of Millwall fans and my Millwall supporting mates who I literally said were appalled by their own fan base, then clearly your mind is made up.

FYI, I'm black. Was your mate called a white c*** when spat at? If not, the comparison is void.

Like I said, let's see how Millwall move on from here.

Your posts have been like a breath of fresh air in a place full of old farts. I hope they all feel ashamed of themselves but if the past is any guide they won't. It will all be your fault. Or more likely mine. Or Dan's.

By the way did you see Gareth Southgate's statement tonight that laid to rest, in unequivocal terms, any thoughts that the players were doing this for any kind of political reason.

I don’t think anyone on here is going to object to a show of solidarity against prejudice, which is what Millwall have planned for tomorrow and I think millwall fans again support. Problem is QPR have now changed from not taking the knee to either some or all will be taking the knee.

It’s all a load of empty rubbish anyway as you know, and changes barely anyone’s lives at all.

By your logic you disagree with Les Ferdinand who made a statement on why QPR were against taking the knee, only for Dion Dublin on Saturday to accuse anyone of being racist if they were against the knee. So therefore Les Ferdinand is racist towards black people in the eyes of Dion Dublin. It just shows how stupid it all is. People arguing over a bullsh1t token gesture rather than making reasonable changes in society that are either proven to be unfair or benefit all, which is why I mentioned custodial sentences, something I learned this year, and widening history in the school curriculum to include ethnic minority history while not painting Brits as evil racists and instilling white guilt into white children.

Don’t old farts have more wisdom than young farts?

You have completely missed the point. The taking of the knee is associated with BLM, fact. Blame the media who are still banging that drum. Posters on here took the knee in support of BLM, fact. Now it doesn’t suit to associate themselves with BLM they are trying to divert, as you are.
Gareth Southgate will say anything the FA want him to.

Yet another insult from you to those with differing views, well done, you must feel very proud of yourself

But people have been taking the knee in protest way way before BLM. See Colin Kaepernick for example.

Cheers, it's good to know at least that I'm not a complete outcast here, among supporters of the same football team as me!

I haven't seen what Southgate has said but IMO anyway, it is quite clear that the BLM movement is separate to the organisation and that showing support for the movement is entirely separate.

10am on Talksh1te should be a good listen as Simon Jordan will no doubt be responding to Troy Townsend's criticism of him having an opinion!

Andros's dad also didn't agree with QPR and Millwall players linking arms in a show of solidarity tonight which confused me as i thought this is a positive thing which distances itself from the blm movement and politics.

 

Stirlingsays Flag 08 Dec 20 8.11am

Apparently if you use the same gestures as political organisations you have completely nothing to do with those organisations and aren't showing support.

And that's your position because the FA say that's your position.

Can you imagine what these people would say if other groups started to adopt the gestures of say....the proud boys and then claimed the same thing.

It's all political ideology and fairy stories for simple minds.
