.Finally how ironic that the SKY.BBC and ITV were glamorising NUFC for being taken by a state that has barbaric laws that can send a woman to a death penalty for the smallest offence.Do womens lives matter?

Did you see that someone had hired a mobile billboard Bill.
It was driving round and round St J Park yesterday with a picture of the Saudi Prince and the murdered and dismembered journalist Khashoggi

I don’t boo, I don’t ask them that do I’d they’re booing the players or what it’s stands for DO YOU?

On the topic of being easily mislead and performing gestures without considering the consequences

A mate of mine who has West Indian origins is not happy how Black lives matter have had the power to influence the "establishment",he finds it insulting and embarrassing. seeing the knee being taken.We are not racist in this country but this movement imported from the USA is trying to create racial disruption.What should be happening is the very very very wealthy Californian owners of the social media companies should be be brought to task for allowing hatred to be shown.They can control this but they are now so powerful they determine what goes out or not.Politically this is very damaging globally.Recently much publicity was made of the England lads'missed penalties.The abuse they received via social media nearly all came from abroad but we were portrayed as a racist country.WE ARE NOT RACIST.Let's follow other clubs and stop taking the knee,our lads know there is no discrimination here.Finally how ironic that the SKY.BBC and ITV were glamorising NUFC for being taken by a state that has barbaric laws that can send a woman to a death penalty for the smallest offence.Do womens lives matter?

Couldn’t agree more Bill....a lot of people don’t clap or boo, I think deep down they think it’s a stupid as the booger’s do but don’t want any conflict

I’d like to hear Johns take on this as he was in the crowd that day

The players taking the knee do it to make a point about racism. Nothing more. Everybody knows this.

Bearing this in mind, and whether you think it's a fatuous protest or not, it's incredible that anybody should think it's OK to boo loudly when they do it. Anybody who does this is somewhere on the scale between insensitive at best and openly racist at worst. Only the person doing it knows where, the rest of us have to make up our minds.

If the club decide they don't what this sort of person in the ground then that's fine by me.

Redshank found the words I failed to. If those with the opposite view are genuine and not just fishing then I despair. Whether it’s ‘the right to be a racist’ or booing lest the players are promoting a militant movement from the US, grips need to be got.

Go and talk to them that boo, let them explain why and then you explain your views to them

Someone did try and do this on twitter with one of our players well ex player now

That's over analysing it.

Basically the knee taking developed quickly into a sheep like activity. When the real background to it was revealed it had become too late to back out of doing it.

The whole gesture is now looking jaded to the point of hilarity.
