If he wanted the world to pick his msg up, he could have continued towards the centre of the pitch, the TV cameras would have focused on it, and Press photographers did discover telephoto lens quite some time ago, they wouldn't have missed it, they miss nowt them lads. But that wouldn't have given the home fans the opportunity to show how racist they were, and that would have been a shame, an opportunity missed wouldn't it.

And in addition to that, why does Raheem think playing for England gives him the right to display personal msgs to an audience that's turned up, or tuned in, and paid good money, simply to watch a football match ? Like I said on another post, it's not all about you Raheem, but he clearly thinks it is.

Which leads me on to the suitability of Raheem to even play for the national team, let alone captain it. He knew that taking his shirt off would lead to a yellow card, leaving him just one mis-timed tackle, or a dodgy decision from the ref, away from being sent off, and England playing in a WC qualifier with ten men. Did he consider this aspect of it, if he did, but went ahead anyway, he's not fit to play for his national team, if it never occurred to him, he's not fit to be wearing an England shirt either. And did Gareth know what he planned to do ? There are question marks about his role in this pantomime as well.
We’re right back to where I said before with this Sinkov , as you rightly say why did the face of BLM and his horrible life need to do the things he did within the game , inciting trouble and racism - but like I said many times if you stand them on a platform and let them have free reign this is what happens.

In fact you are absolutely correct in that our football body should be questioning why we did that in a different country with different culture and yet all that’s asked if if Raheem was racist abused.

All of a sudden we are back to BLM laughing at winning again as our national team takes the knee antagonising a hostile crows before a ball was kicked.

They’ve opened a can of worms and right with this rubbish and also and I still insist the longer it goes the more racist people and a bigger divide they are creating, hats off to BLM imagine conning not just the everyday bod but also the major Tv companies and scaring so many businesses into more stupid racism than they could ever of imagined.

Some feat indeed.
