    Derby to stop taking the knee.....

    yes, time to stop this nonsense, After Millwall led the way there are about 6 championship clubs stopping this practice. I believe we are up at Pride Park next Sat, you should fancy your chances as we lost today;

    But not, one suspects, for the same reason that a certain section of the Millwall fans booed and jeered. Millwall, or a proportion of your fans, ‘led the way’ for all the wrong reasons.

    I’d be happier if we’d stop ‘taking the knee’ after the bloody kick off. We just seem to be in submission mode at the moment.

    Agree about the knee, outlived its use after a couple of weeks and has caused more division rather than resolving anything, although to be accurate Millwall didn't lead the way, F1 did.

    Don't be so sure about your lack of chances next week. Question is, do you have 11 fit players? If so I fear for us.

    The curious thing is that they stopped it in the US of A month's ago - no knees at the superbowl. Yet who originated the knee and who originated BLM?

    Do we have to follow the Yanks every move? Can we do something to show support for anti-racism without taking the knee?

    No and yes in that order IMO.

    No but it’s easier for our media to take that stance

    Yes by what we do day to day, but (as was my experience) don’t come back off a BLM March and within minutes slag off the traveller community. Discrimination and hate has many targets
