There must be some players out there who don’t agree to doing it before a game commences, will anyone rebel and not do it in the near future and how long is it going to continue for ?

unless the player wants to more or less finish his career he would have to be a very brave man indeed to buck the trend. only thing that will stop it will be public opinion and the public now are shit scared of saying anything due to the race tag being used on them.

Even Lewis Hamilton is considering not bothering after doing it once.

Ive stopped watching football because of it its pathetic and some of the them doing the black power salute,shouldn't that be looked into ?

The commentators are still banging on about this George fella what the fook has it got to do with a game of football in Engkand

I must admit it gets on my tits, what is it achieving?

A dirty knee

Send the buggers back!

What is it about black people seeking equality that offends you so much?

Are they getting too close?

BLM has been hijacked by lefties hell bent on causing racial tension and divide.

give over you rarf how are they not equal ?

there is 100's thousands if not more niggers in this country more better off financialy than me or you so why are they worse off than us ?

if they are so bothered about black lives mattering why haven't they been kicking off for years about slk the niggers been stabbed to death each year in this country? I'll tell you why its because other bkackz are doing it so it doesn't matter

wonder also if the BLM and their supporters spend as much time collecting money for impoverish black populated african countries and stuff like water aid. do they use their politics in attempts to overthrow black leaders in black countries. no they prefer to upset the university crowd to join in their own moral highground and make themselves feel superior on facebook.

There are very few English managers in the premiership. It's not because of lack of opportunity or equality, but rather that the owners consider them not good enough. Is that racism????
There are enough BAME people in this country who have money but they don't seem to want equality for their peers, especially in the sweat shops of Leicester.
This one knee thing, as demonstrated by the black gloved clenched fist brigade, is representative of the black power movement. If any white group used such tactics they would be called out as advocates of racial supremacy. So what is the difference???

always wonder if there was a white lives matter movement how many non whites would support it especially in the numbers that non niggers have supported BLM.

The short answer is they wouldn't support it.

Why are white players kneeling then, or is it a UEFA support thing

That's a good question Mr Butt. I suspect no one wants to be the odd one out or the first to refuse. I would imagine anyone bucking the trend would face repercussions and who wants to be in that situation.
My interest is in Pools and our players and I don't have any preference for what colour, nationality or creed they are. They are all our players and get my support equally.
If I was to write my World's best team at the moment, the first two names on the team sheet would be Ngolo Kante and Kevin Du Broyne. One is black and the other is Belgian. The plain fact is that my team would be built around them.
I don't think, in this day and age, that black footballers are discriminated against. Whether managers pick them is entirely down to natural ability or their ability to fit into the team requirements. As for opposing fans dishing out abuse, well they do that to any opposing footballer and always have done.
The number of black footballers playing professional football in this country has increased dramatically since I first became involved with the game and I am happy and comfortable with that as are most people I know, so where's the problem ???? In my lifetime in football the biggest single example of concentrated abuse was directed at Beckham and yet I haven't heard the racist word attributed to that behaviour. Why is that???
I have no idea where all this will end but I wouldn't bet on it ending in a good place.
Black white green or pink, if he can put the ball in the onion bag he gets the shirt.

Wasn’t a a black athlete disqualified at the Olympics a few years ago when he did the black gloved clenched fist salute on the podium ?

its a lot to do with the media nowadays. imagine the situation of pools signing a striker who had scored a goal a game with some premier under 21 side. this same player had just come out telling the world he was gay. what would the headline in the papers say. doubt it would be, pools sign top scoring striker. more like pools sign gay footballer. just too much interest on what colour, nationality or sexual inclination nowadays and not the person or their ability.

I see Colston's statue in Bristol has been replaced.

Great way of causing bother put in place overnight without any permission, how long will It stay and will the Council have the bottle to remove it.

Bristol council have said its coming down. Shame really as being resin it would burn very well.

Incidentally, of course the chances of me kneeling down over a scumbag junkie who is no loss to this world is zero.

if this was happening on a scale thats been reported then you would have thought the movement would have waited a couple of days to find a better case for their protests.

Why have them slave labour factories in Leicester been allowed to operate under a Labour council and Mayor?

send them a blank cheque for em to fill in to a higher amount they might have received from the businesses involved and you may get your answer. its councils you are talking about remember.

Yes, Jamie, the thought went through my mind having seen the build up to the F1 where a few of the drivers did not comply. Like most things, and we are herd animals after all, these protests etc. tend to lose momentum. I've noticed on the recent footie highlights that this now gets limited coverage with little or no commentary.

When Vera Lynn passed away, I was surprised when the boss said that she thought it was getting a bit too much. Now, written down, that looks rather harsh as she has great respect for people's deeds, circumstances etc. but I understood what she meant. Perhaps I should say, "becoming repetitive".

Returning to the BLM theme, a while ago I was talking to the good lady and mentioned, "a coloured chap". She said to me, "You can't say that!". "Why", I replied quizzically and she told me that you have to say "black". Expressing ignorance, I proffered my excuse that I thought the word "coloured" showed more respect than "black" as the latter conjured up connotations of "You black .............." etc. Then, roger me rigid, all I kept hearing was the expression "people of colour" from all and sundry. Now, could someone please explain to this simple soul, in plain English, what is the subtle difference between the term "coloured" being offensive and "of colour" being acceptable??? I understand that certain people can freely use "words" among themselves which would be deemed highly offensive when used by others but this one has me stumped. We are all "coloured/of colour" by degree, aren't we, and "person of colour" sounds a rather clumsy expression to my ears.

Interestingly, I heard "a person of colour" speaking on the radio recently who said that, although he obviously did not agree with him, he knew who Tommy Johnson was and what he represented but he had no idea whatsoever who had a similar position with the BLM.
.

saying, a person of colour, sounds like a sarcastic description of a black guy from a bernard manning video where he,d say that with a little wink.

Why are MOTD still showing the players kneeling before showing highlights of the game ?

Its the BBC continuing with their woke agenda.

Its truly pathetic how this marxist, black supremacist organisation are been promoted by the BBC. Yet they have no condemnation for the anti semitism from this wiley character. I'm for genuine equality but really, BLM the organisation? fuck right off.

Spot on Mr I, no doubt I will be getting a Knock on the door, to be re-educate.

wonder if they would have shown the great britain olympic football team doing the nazi salute at the 1936 olmpics.

Wiley seems to have lost the plot on his fb page today..are Jez and Di big fans?

Your earlier comment hadn't occurred to me, af, but I can just visualize that slant. How ironic, therefore, that this expression, rather than desperately seeking respect and acceptance, ends up looking as though it is taking the wee.

To be fair, I have since discovered why the word, "coloured" is so offensive in the "The Greatest Nation On Earth". In addition, the term, "people of colour" originates from over there (silly me for not guessing that) and is an umbrella expression to cover all "non-white people". Surely, then, BLM is non-inclusive and, in its own way, racist? When all is said and done, "All Lives Matter" cannot be beaten.

Now, a criminal "of colour" is (unconventionally) apprehended by the law over there and the cop is accused of murder. There follows riots, protests and so on which rapidly spread over here to us where we witnessed an initial dose of the same. We have our own outrage where a white police officer, while carrying out his lawful duties, is horrifically flayed alive at the hands of a group of sniggering scrotes. Were there scenes proclaiming, "White Lives Matter" in the "Land of the Orange Einstein"? I would bet a pound to a pinch of shit that the answer is the sum total of fuck all. In fact, in their insular, arrogant world, I would go further and suggest that the vast majority of them are not even aware of it.

Anyway, when we eventually return to something approaching normality in the footie world, at what level will the line be drawn at this slavish posturing? Will we witness kids in the park aping the example already set?

Another thing that is beginning to heartily piss me off is the sight of Johnson "giving the elbow" in staged circumstances. It looks so bloody amateurish. Actually, I think I may have got that the wrong way round and it may not be too far away if the gathering mutterings are anything to go by.

that will really be interesting once we get back playing parks football again. some areas have adopted the equally pointless Respect pre match handshake so nothing would surprize me. there is one here that will not be doing it and they can threaten me with all they like. i,ll pack in first.

I kneel for the fallen. And of course Zod.

Good win for England in the last test.
Never say die.

I kneel for no one, black white red pink or blue, maybe for the Queen when I get my knighthood or Big Dave when he gets us promoted. U.T.P.

You left out Vlad The Impaler !!!!

I would go down on both knees for Carol Kirkwood

Whens the next test
I like bat sports

Thursday 13th no Stokes.

suppose its a better way to go than catching the virus. don,t forget to wear your mask though.

Just spotted that eleven of the Sale team who played against Harlequins did not/refused to comply with the knee and this decision is now being classed as racist. As previously mentioned, at what point is a line drawn?

As a case in point, I heard a woman yesterday, from Brizzle and in connection with medicine, I believe, prattling on and trying to make a case for the word 'blue' to be classed as racist, as used in 'lips turned blue". What kind of shite is going on? Is there no end to this politically correct bollocks?

"Cripes! Old Boris here. Blue is a fantastic colour and a real world beater. I was just told by Dom that we can't get enough of blue into our tactics. Blimey! Well, hang on, old bean! It's obvious to everyone, even with only one eye, what a fantastic job he has done in these difficult times. So calm down! Everything is tickety-boo. What? And blow me down, I then hear some bloody oik using the 'red' word. Piffle. Stay alert out there, chaps! Gadzooks! Is that the time? Must dash back to the fridge before some bounder asks me an awkward question. Toodle-pip!"

Well I'm not changing my name for anyone so there!

Can I have a pint of Carling _____ label.

I mean Fosters or Budweiser.

I love _____ pudding with bacon and eggs!
