    Kneeling before the game

    QoTS v Hearts, lasted the grand total of 3 seconds, maybe time to stop the gesture.

    It would take me three seconds to go down on a knee (down in stages) and about 30 seconds to get back up...if I got a wee bit help.

    Agreed. I don't think anyone takes any notice of it now tbh. Feels to me like players are going through the motions for the sake of it.

    The Home Secretary was on Sky News today completely disagreeing with the taking of the knee also.

    To be fair though mate Priti Patel is the Michael Jackson of the Tory party.

    The more taking the knee goes on, the less i care about what it is supposed to symbolise.

    I don't think football or any sport should be used for any kind of gesture, whether or not you agree with the cause is unimportant. Again the politicians telling the public what to do.

    If there had been crowds inside, would they have started it?
    Would they impose it on the crowd?
    How would they enforce it?

    Simples, just finish it.

    I would like to think that every poster on here is not a racist however i don't expect any of us to take the knee before we start posting.BTW where it started in the USA with the black football player that was different and a very powerful statement,i don't think he has played since which tells its own story.
