Of the match on Saturday and wasn't aware the players "took the knee".
Anybody any theories why this was as I thought this was stopped....pressure from BBC?.....pressure from hearts?....us trying to "look good" on tv.
Anyone have any rationale explanation?
Can only be appeasement for the snowflakes watching on TV, no other explanation possible.
Serious question.Quote:

I wouldn't, I just don't understand why there ain't at least two or three players who can think for themselves and say sorry not for me.....fear of losing job, fear of not being selected, fear of the mob?
I was once threatened in a workplace for failing to enrol in forced fun.....ie a blow football tournament when I had work to do.
I now think that the consequences for someone saying "nah I'm no doing that" must be so severe that they just go along with it.
I'm very interested why DFC felt obliged to do this after so long not doing it.
Will we see a repeat at bonnyrigg game?
Short answer is no.Quote:

I was once threatened at work for refusing to join a union, I told them I didn't need their union only to be told that my car might need new tyres if I didn't join. Didn't stop me telling the fascist ******* to get tae **** out of my face.
I believe it should be an individual choice but anyone refusing to do so in a football environment is likely to be pilloried in the press for having their own thoughts. How very dare they?
Possibly have to be done at the Bonnyrigg game to appease the snowflakes again.
I believe once fans are back and the booing really starts it'll be abandoned pretty quickly.
Cheers for the reply.Quote:

I just cannot give monetary support (sounds guid for a tenner 😁) to an organisation that supports such nonsense.....I let it slide before
because it was raw at the time but two months of not doing it then 're starting because the cameras are there....nah no for me.
I agree with you, very difficult to contribute to the club if they're blindly accepting a requirement to kow tow to an organisation intent on getting its message over via violence, destruction and social disorder.Quote:

See, I'm a stubborn old ******* too.

Stubborness is a much undervalued trait.
Wheresas auld *******s are much over valued.😉
Glad to hear that there are other stubborn buggers on here.
During my working life, I was threatened with my job five times, for not conforming.
Twice with French companies, twice with American companies ,and once with a British company.
On each occasion I called there bluff.
Strangest one ,was refusing to take a handwriting test.( your handwriting was then analysed.)
The owner of the French company was a " GAULLIST " who thought the French were superior to the British.!
