Sara got booked for not removing his shirt, but pulling it back over his head, he then went on to be sent off, game was a midweek match which we went on to lose, it wasn’t a political slogan on his shirt, a simple religious message from a religious person, it was a joke of a decision

You're right, I'd forgotten all about that one.

Maybe players taking the knee is an instruction from the SFA ?

After all the signal to take the knee comes from the referee.

St m away, no sure if midweek.

Scored ran to right of goal at home end and rolled shirt over head, never took it off.

He was booked for either goading the away fans with a message of love.... st mirren have a lot of pagans and Satanists in their support I believe, leaving field of play....which I don't think he did ( but it will be on you tube) or removing shirt which tecnically he never.

To be fair Juan Sara got booked for removing his shirt during goal celebrations when there was a clear directive that the removal of your shirt was a bookable offence. He started just rolling it up once he realised what a bunch of killjoy, pompous *******s were in charge of the game here.

As regards taking the knee. I didn't see the start of the game and actually only caught about five minutes of it but if the players didn't kneel to political pressure then they're to be congratulated for that.

I did hear though that the players were socially distanced entering the field and singing the anthems, then ten minutes later were involved in scrums, rucks and mauls.

If these two things don't send a signal to our PC masters then they're as thick and detached from reality as we think they are.

Most of the Scots, a minority of England team and the match officials.

Proves those players who did it decided to do it of own free will......until I see some DFC players not doing it I don't think the same can be said at Dens.

Football players in their 20s I don't think (in general) realise what they are doing, they are just doing as they are told or at best asked.

Rugny players who tend to be a bit more able to think for themselves, thought about it and a majority decided against.

As for standing 2ms apart then rolling around on top of one another for 80 mins.....this is the new normal of stupidity.

Cud be but don't all teams are doing it.

And even if it is, players should be free to say no thanks.

Bonnyrigg Rose I doubt were kneeling before they came to Dens......who asked them to DFC?, TV?, SFA......who knows.

I think it's storing up problems and a lot resentment.

Scottish Rugby showed the way yesterday on and off the park......not for the 1st time either.

Why is it only "certain sports" expected to do this knee nonsense?I imagine sky have a lot to do with it.Why not impose it on everyday life,make the mps kneel before parliament,newsreaders before doing the news etc etc. See how long they "abide" by it.Feel a bit for the players as they are in a now in situation.

Whilst I completely disagree with this taking the knee malarkey I think it’s due in part to lack of education.
It’s being seen as a BLM thing and in fact hijacked as such when I believe that originally all players were intending showing solidarity with their black colleagues in a troubling time for them.
It seems clear that racism has to stop, but for me it’s not footballs role to do that.

Aye let's have Ronnie o Sullivan, Gerwyn Price, Frankie Dettori, Haley Turner and Jeff stelling on their knees.....be funny quite funny Eric.

It's just ridiculous when you think about it.

Career criminal, killed by a rogue policeman thousands of miles away who had previous with said policeman effects Scottish championship football for a year.

About as stupid as locking people up for years to avoid a virus with a 99.7% survival rate.

C'mon Charlie Adam, Paul McGowan, Cammy Kerr, Fountaine........show some leadership, tell them to ram this.

I wonder if we will have the heard neck to do the knee the same day as preaching about domestic violence......going down on a knee to virtue signal about a man who held a gun to a pregnant women's belly.

George Floyd is the only black person killed by racist policemen in America.

BLM is a marxist organisation.

Covid is a hoax.
