Change of formation, lack of threat of relegation or a certain negative attitude not in the squad? Whatever it is, long may it continue.

Yep, we look half decent when we play with intensity and on the front foot, don’t we

Disrespectful and incredibly bad taste. Please don’t try and justify outright terrorism and the death of innocent families as some kind of freedom fighting tactic. You should be ashamed.

Very good, could hear the boo’s 👍🏻

Depth yes, quality no. We could and should improve the right side of our CB partnership.

the Irish should have just fired a few rockets at us, innit.

Ironically, the Poppy’s links are to those who done more to more to fight actual facisim than BLM could ever do.

The gesture in itself isn’t, of course it’s not. It’s the link to BLM and BLM’s links to politics that are.

Especially for one who is out of contract next season.

Absolutely didn’t say that, but well done for missing the point.

I’m actually interested in hearing your opinion on this in more detail. Given that you’re a man of mixed heritage and more likely to be a victim of racism than most on this thread who are outraged for you. Do you see taking the knee as a good thing for fighting racism? Or more as a token gesture? Have you or any of your friends / family suffered racism in football? What are your thoughts on the UK being racist as a whole? (Ignoring Social media for now as that’s a cesspit of hate).

Isn’t it interesting how these debates weren’t being had when the premier league used ‘kick it out’, which, unlike BLM, had no political links. Of course the knee isn’t a copyright for BLM the organisation, but its a gesture that they adopted and in recent times, it’s a link to that organisation, so naturally, people’s thoughts when they see it link to BLM riots. Similar to the nazi’s adopting the swastik. Given your username, it’s pretty clear which side of the fence you sit, so it’s a pointless debate with you to be honest. I tend to find your lot always are do / agree as we say or your a nazi. Given your clear support for footballers using the sport as a platform for political speech, I’d be very interested to see your reaction if they came out with a stance which you didn’t agree with.

You’re a danger mate. Let’s hope you get nowhere near any weapons that can kill. Christ.

If I knew the answer; i wouldn’t be on here arguing with you. But I’d say eradicate Hamas and then use an intermediate country to negotiate peace talks might be a start. Rockets haven’t worked for the last 50 or so years, what makes you think they will now? Had they had flown an Israel flag, what would have your response been to that? Genuine question. Personally, I actively support keeping politics as far away from football as possible. I see enough of that bollox on social media, the news and TV.

So other than the knee (which has links to far left organisations) there are no alternatives to show you oppose racism? Which, in this country, is pretty rare might I add.

I’m honestly astounded that you can causally support bombing another nation. Up there with the isis loons who use the war in Syria as an excuse to go round attacking people on the streets of London. 2 wrongs don’t make a right. There are alternative ways to get around issues than to fire rockets, which had intentions to kill, at people. I’m not blaming anyone. I don’t blame Arabs from that region for being pissed, I completely understand that. But let’s not get it twisted, Hamas are a extremist Islamic group, who given the powers that Israel have, would cause significant damage. Firing rockets at your neighbours isn’t the answer.

Sorry that my immediate response isn’t to bomb someone. Their shitty little 50 year old rockets didn’t kill anyone though, so I suppose it’s fine.

A bit like society in the uk as a whole, then, really.

The majority don’t support the ‘woke’ brigade that attach themselves and override these issues though. Hence why Labour take a pasting every election.

They have a choice in that they’re not forced down on a knee, but from a PR point of view (let’s be honest, they’re not all that intelligent), there will be some who are scared of the consequences of not taking the knee.

Out of interest, do you think they have a choice? If a white footballer decided he wouldn’t take the knee, for whatever reason, what would the public reaction be? I suspect he’d largely be supported by most, but the vocal minority would combust over it, the bloody nazi.

😂😂😂 shut up you idiot. Any evidence of being a ‘racist’, you slanderous fool. Go kneel to your shrine of Mr Floyd if it makes you feel better, keep me out of it.

Fair enough. You support the terrorists and war. I don’t (I don’t support Israel either, by the way). Let’s leave it there. Each to their own.

No, they could settle it diplomatically, like 90% of any other civilised nation would before they started firing rockets at people. Also, who cares if their rocket didn’t kill anyone. Next time it could? I’d imagine The intention was for it to, otherwise, what’s the point? You’re literally supporting acts of terrorism and war here. Seriously have a think about what you’re saying. Hamas did start it and they’re absolute shit-houses who hide in civilian compounds. Incident people getting killed is on them. Im not sure why it’s so hard for you to understand that the reason they have killed less is because their tools aren’t as advanced. Not because they’re less aggressive.

No, just checked, you’re wrong. The first rockets were fired by Hamas. The reason their death toll is higher, because they’re fighting against superior opposition. They’re starting a gun fight with knives. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/m.economictimes.com/news/defence/heres-a-timeline-of-the-deadly-gaza-violence-between-israel-and-palestine/amp_articleshow/82708027.cms Forcing people out of their homes, breaking up protests with rubber bullets etc, does not in anyway justify firing rockets at people. Again, you can oppose Israel and the way they manage tensions in the Middle East, but supporting those (terrorist group) who fire missiles at people and get a kick in, in retaliation, is just stupid. As I’ve said, peace will only be achieved when both sides want it. Firing missiles at Israel Because you’re upset, isn’t the way to achieve peace.
