ThurmastonFox Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Not sure how it came across on TV but there boos were loud and clear in the ground. I’m not sure they can continue the gesture into next season
Popular Post HighPeakFox Posted 23 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 23 May 2021 Yes, it's probably important they cave in to racism. 36 4
Popular Post Unabomber Posted 23 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 23 May 2021 Was sickening those idiot fans booing our players take a stand against racism. Especially when we have black players playing for us! 14 1
Popular Post Bert Posted 23 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 23 May 2021 The booing is disgusting. I will always be against any form of discrimination but I truly believe that this taking the knee has run its course. There are plenty of other ways to battle discrimination, the booing isn’t going to stop any time soon. 17

Just let the players decide, if they are happy to do it I really don’t see the issue. Its a shame those that boo make the rest of us, as a collective look like racist twats but it’s on them. If they want to expose themselves. 2

Popular Post Larry_LCFC Posted 23 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 23 May 2021 I think taking the knee lost a huge amount of support when it affiliated with BLM which is a pretty toxic group. If they had done it for "Kick It Out" or similar from the start, I think people would be more receptive. That said, every gesture loses its meaning a little bit eventually. Certainly don't agree with the booing. 8
Bert Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Just now, Unabomber said: It obviously hasn’t run its course if idiots are still booing! For me it has. You’re always going to get the odd twat here and there that thinks they’re above it all and they know better. It should’ve never got to the stage where players are having to take a knee to stand up against discriminationn.
Popular Post ealingfox Posted 23 May 2021 Popular Post Posted 23 May 2021 Imagine being so petty and horrible. Even if you don't agree with anti-racism, or you're hiding behind this confected nonsense about disagreeing with the extremist Marxism that supposedly every player in the PL now subscribes to, it takes literally what, 3 seconds? What pure and rampant victimhood to pretend that's enough of a problem for you to start booing. 9 3
Number 6 Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Chelsea fans seemed to applaud it midweek against us. Heard the boos on the TV loud today and at Wembley. How has it gone down at other grounds? Pretty dispiriting to hear our fanbase react in this way.

Idiots still think it’s linked to the Marxist BLM movement when it’s not. If they stop now it makes a joke out of the whole message. 1

foxinsox Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 No booing where I was, but like the twats who disrespect minutes of silence, it only takes a few to be audible.

I believe it was Brentford Bournemouth. Both set's of players stood and the referee kneeled and got booed.
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Appaling to boo. Full stop. Racism hasn't gone away.
sdb Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Few boos near me. It was the same last week. They need singling out and sending back to whatever year they think it is. 2
Pliskin Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Unfortunately people with bias views won’t change them. But more needs to be done to punish those who decide it’s acceptable. This won’t happen on a football pitch, the PL and FA can take things into their own hands, football clubs can identify offenders and ban them for life. The only thing left to be addressed is how is low incidents level discrimination and racism get dealt with? Do we need to look at new legislation? We have hate crime legislation but it only applies to certain offences.... do we need to push for something else, particularly when it comes to social media? Racism will probably always exist unfortunately, some people will just have these views, the way we handle these people needs to be better, the fact so many people take to social media to be racist just shows the message ain’t getting across. Perhaps it’s time we reviewed the legislation and write up something more impactful. We’re quite good at dealing with significant incidences of hate crimes, but legislation doesn’t always defend the ‘lower levels’ of hate crime, malicious communication etc. This is what needs to be looked at, and potentially changed/improved.

winteriscoming Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Obviously I’m completely against racism but I just don’t think it’s making a difference.
sheffield_fox Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 The booing is shameful. Time for them to stop talking about kicking it out and kick these ****ing idiots out and ban them. Can't imagine what the black players thought, hearing that. 2

Especially when we have black players playing for us! Not 'especially when we have black players playing for us'. It's not one iota worse because we have black players playing for us. We're not against racism because 'we've got some black players' we're against racism because it's wrong.
