    Taking a knee?

    Why is this nonsense still being done? Couldn't believe it when watching our game on Friday.
    This has nothing to do with football and is happening due to actions in another country??

    Because it's PC and if you don't seemingly you're either racist or you just don't get it.

    1. Either all DFC players and staff are Marxists who want to defund the police.

    2. They were all so profoundly affected by a criminal black man under the influence of drugs being killed by a white police officer thousands of miles away.

    3. Virtue signalling.

    No knees taken for atrocities in China, Saudi or south America.

    No knees taken for thousands of white girls a being raped in the north of England or Glasgow.

    No knees taken for those that are kept as domestic slaves by the travelling community or Arab community.

    Keep on doing it if they like but they should expect objection.

    I wonder if the booing will start at the first game crowds are allowed or if it'll be a few in.

    I'm hoping it's done by then.

    Hey up lads, I'm a stranger on here of course but believe me I do have views on this subject.
    Indeed why eh, why are we still doing this ridiculous thing now which has nowt to do with footy. And if they have to do it, why do Match of the day also insist on showing it each time just before each kick off ?.

    There is nothing more dignified than a minutes silence for someone or something that had a true association with your own club.

    I've no problem with individual players doing it if they wish, same as those that wear rainbow laces, bless themselves, pray to Allah or whatever other thing that they believe in. It's when it is sycronised and forced upon others that I just cannot stand.

    It's asking for aggravation and I think there will be a lot of it in England when the crowds are let back in.

    I've said on here before I'm sick and tired of getting preached at before during and after football matches.

    Give it a rest.

    Tahh for your reply Returno.
    Yep, I go along with it if it's associated with my club or a player or players at my club. That's fair enough isn't it.
    But the forceful nature of this particular subject on us is a bad one, and this could go badly if it's forced on us for too long!.
