    Dangerous Waters

    The first big cracks in the football hierarchy appeared when the filthy rich owners of the so-called “Big 6” decided to set up their own exclusive club (the ESL) for the benefit of the filthy rich. Fortunately enough pressure was brought to bear to crush this rebellion in its infancy. We know have the millionaire players backed by the “woke media” attempting to drive a huge wedge between themselves and the fans with their “knee taking” and worse calling out anyone who dares to oppose this gesture politics as racist and illiterate. We are meant to “stand up to racism” and if that was done the majority I believe of players, managers, fans and media could come to a consensus and stand together. Let’s see how this plays out during Euro 2020 and beyond. I am not going to boo because I understand the message the players want to put over. I disagree entirely with their approach and their sneering dismissal of people who disagree with them. For me the best option when the knee is taken is for all who disagree with it to turn their backs.

    Brentford stopped taking the knee in February, at the moment they have no plans to resume it in next season's premier League. It only needs one or two more sensible PL squads to join them, and the whole fatuous house of cards will come crashing down.

    We are in danger of duplicating our thoughts on this new thread outwood, but we will let it run just to see how this "taking the knee" nonsense pans out over the coming weeks.

    Could you possibly imagine having to "take the knee" for this diverse "multi-racial" ragtag football team?

    Well put Alf and from what I read across social media, a lot of football fans feel the same way. Politics and football are not good bedfellows IMHO.

    The question is if I asked them,(those that believe in this 'BLM', and kneeling?)''But what about other lives ?
    ''No its just BLM, other lives we do not say anything!''

    ''Then change it to. ''The life of all races, and colour , matter!''

    Scotland won't be taking the knee, neither will Croatia, one day English players won't either, better it were sooner rather than later.
