While not agreeing with the booing by Millwall fans I do think that it is time to stop 'taking the knee' before every game. Les Ferdinand states that it has become a meaningless gesture and QPR have stopped the practice. As he says, the only way that you will stop racism is by how you treat people in everyday life. He is totally correct of course, it has made the point and now is the time to act upon it.

I am sick to death of hearing the bloody word Racism. The BLM movement got hijacked by a dangerous anarchic group so have no credibility anymore. The knee bending was a nice token gesture and meant to bring people together against racism and would have been fine as a one off. But every week it becomes taken for granted and diminishes its value and effect. Why don't we have a minutes silence every match for all those who died in two world wars and the Falklands and Iraq. It happens once a year and it means something, not like this woke nonsense. I don't agree with booing the players but the fans, if they are against it should just sing their normal songs during the kneeling.

Perhaps turning their backs on the players like many have suggested previously. What gets my goat is people like Deon Dublin accusing these fans of being racist because they don’t support BLM. They might not be racist, just sick to the teeth of the nonsense of taking a knee. What Dublin has said is a truly despicable thing to say and makes him, in my view, a racist in his own right. End of.

Hey Guern, I think Dublin is pathetic if hes said that.
I don't like him anyway, as a footy pundit or as an embarrassing homes-property presenter on morning Bbc tv.
So, does that make me racist for saying that against him ?.

Why don’t these players support Lloyd in another way and hold a gun to an innocent lady!!!

It’s all b ull**** and making football a complete farce. God help it if we get snow in the next few days and everything is a white out!

This Lloyd don't need anymore support, got my crutches, knee brace and my hospital special shoes.
Not forgetting my wonderful wife and family.

It was just so stupid for football to latch on to the BLM movement, which is racist and anarchic. To do it on the back of a bloke that was a nasty criminal compounds the stupidity. The way to support ‘equality’ is by the way that you treat other people; treat others in the way that you would have them treat you. So I say ‘well done’ to the Millwall fans. I am also sick of being preached to by the BBC and Sky. Also, what about the Derby County player making a Black Power salute? That is definitely racist and political, although I doubt that any action will be taken against him for doing it. This BLM s**t is opening a rift between people, which is probably exactly what BLM wants.

Just waiting for the BBC to ban Bing Crosby's White Christmas!

A mate of mine is a Forest fan and he’s had a very strong say about this happening at Millwall today and the consensus in reply has been 100% in agreement with him.

He pointed out that although Millwall was where he’d received his most serious all time kicking as an away supporter he was in full admiration of their fans today.

I will never attend another Albion match as long as our players continue to do this.

Thankfully my non league club don’t do it and I’ve made it very clear on the club FB fans page that I’ll walk out of any match where they do it.

We actually play at “The War Memorial Ground” in Amblecote, Stourbridge and are an incredibly respectful club but we don’t wear a poppy for every match or have a minutes silence.

People like Lineker and Dublin can go f u c k themselves.

I now refuse to watch any programme where presenters feel they have to wear an emblem supporting BAME and LBGT causes and as soon as I hear any “virtue signalling” going on I mute or switch over.

I used to love honest debate in the media and I’ve voted for four different political parties in my lifetime but I’ve now had enough of the s h I t that’s going on.

This stuff is making the divisions here in the U.K. as bad as they’ve become in the USA in the last five years and it’s now a case of which side are you on.

I’m sick of being talked down to because I’m an older, middle aged , white man.

I really don’t give a s h I t anymore, this stuff is making me more right wing and more radical and less tolerant than I ever believed I would become.
