WBA53 match thread

I am entitled to my opinions, as you are to yours. I genuinely believe that the gesture is way beyond its sell by date and is now counterproductive. Additionally, the knee nonsense is inextricably associated with BLM, perceived or otherwise, and that in itself is more than enough reason to dump the gesture. BLM is an odious organisation, anarchistic and racist. Why anyone would do something that could even remotely be linked to that is unbelievable. Yes, I know that they all deny that ‘the knee’ is anything to do with BLM but to many there is a connection. There has been racism amongst mankind since the dawn of human evolution and if you think that a few footballers kneeling is going to change the World, then I’m afraid that you are somewhat delusional.

The last sentence I can agree with you on.

Anyways I’m off to go and boo my local oxfam as I don’t agree with their fundraising strategy.
It’s a good worthy cause but they can’t end poverty, so why bother.

It wasn't a great match but over the course of a long season there will be poor games. At least we didn't lose and can't complain about being top. I was interested to hear on Quest that in the Championship, Albion have had the most shots on target this season and conceded the fewest shots. I must say a positive word about Bartley. For a long time after he joined I wasn't a fan but I now think he is a crucial part of the team.

There’s a big difference, Oxfam don’t go around preaching to people how they should think or behave. Sadly, I think it is a fact that racism won’t be eradicated from football until it is eradicated from society itself and that is most unlikely to happen. The best way to stop the abuse is for it to become very likely that the perpetrators will be identified and kept away from football stadia. I think that we both want that to happen but I still maintain that the ‘knee’ stuff is not helping. Just in case you wondered, by the way, I am not one that boos when the gesture is made; I was merely passing comment. I have no wish to fall out with a fellow baggie!
