    I may not agree with Fox, but I defend his right to be a self serving divisive tosser.

    Not on his own then is he.

    Is that the extent of your non-irate analysis? Good for you.

    Seems to me that everyone is demanding to have an opinion without criticism. The only ones that aren’t, according to Mr Charles, BS and others, is the players.

    JI and BPG are not Muslims and my comments were based on many posts from them on this forum. I recommend you do the same before accusing me of being a bigot. Look in the mirror and read your own posts, you will find how better to spot one.

    All for opinions and criticism, so long as it is the same for both sides,but seems one sided to me when others object to booing of the knee.

    It’s bound to be one-sided because “supporters” keep booing and ignoring the will of their own players. I wait for 5 seconds and the match kicks off. Not difficult is it to respect the wishes of our own players is it?

    j charles please read all previous posts on this subject properly, you clearly haven’t the ability to absorb what you read before you respond therefore your recent responses are totally irrelevant on this particular subject matter.

    Is that because you are so stupid that you dont realise what your being asked. Your so tied up in your own childish bigoted world that you cant see what’s round the corner.

    Heath, Deerey etc, what of the players still making the “black power”salute?
    Do you support that too?

    And Heath, please, please learn what “bigot” means.
    It’s NOT THE SAME as racist.

    The accusation of being a bigot was directed at me. I am not a bigot, and with great respect to you I don’t need to learn what one is and the difference between a racist and a bigot. We have some on here who tick both boxes!!

    “But would you have said if they was? No you wouldn’t would you”.

    Of course I would if I didn’t agree with them!!

    I’m not at all convinced that all BLM supporters are political activists. But hidden among the crowds are many left wing driven wannabe politicians. Now it is more of a case of one side saying yes and the other saying no. If it isn’t nipped in the bud, then only the white man man who feels compelled to kneel. While all the other’s stand looking down on us.

    “Ignoring the will of the players” So players are allowed to have opinions without criticism?. Make your mind up Heath.

    I seriously doubt it. You do know what he ‘truly believes in’ don’t you? I’ll give him the opportunity to show some courage and explain himself. He gets all defensive when I remind anyone.

    Let’s try and sort this Awaywego just one more time for you. The players either individually or collectively through their professional association have stated that they VOLUNTARILY take the knee to support the anti racism campaign in sport, no other reason, no other agenda, just that. Now the inference being that supporters who boo this gesture either don’t support the anti racism campaign in sport or are indeed racist themselves, got it, not too difficult really. If people who boo then come on football platforms and try to accuse the footballers of taking the knee to be supporting a Marxist led regime, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back this up, this inevitably will lead to discussions on this matter which is what is taking place now. People like myself who support the players and their VOLUNTARY action ( based on the anti racism campaign remember ) in taking the knee are just simply asking those opposing this decision by booing and then stating it’s political ( which it isn’t remember because the players said so, remember ) to produce the evidence to back up their bogus claims. Now whilst no evidence has been produced, said people who boo then come back on the forum, sometimes after a couple of days or so and begin going through their familiar routine again of accusing either players or their supporters that they are bigoted or one sided or won’t let others have their say. Nothing could be further from the truth, have your say, make your points but be prepared to be challenged to produce evidence against the players backing the anti racism campaign that they have another agenda altogether. The players through their association with the backing of the England manager have made their position crystal clear on this matter, others like yourself have not. Produce your evidence or keep quiet because you are in the wrong on this matter.

    The players have explained their actions on multiple occasions. Is it too much to ask supporters to respect their wishes and their right to make a gesture against racism?

    Find it a bit of a joke that I’m being accused of being a bigot by a bunch of racist bigots!

    BIGOT – a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
    “don’t let a few small-minded bigots destroy the good image of the city”

    Sorry Ironawe but your not describing what I have said, quite happy for both views to be expressed, though I must admit I would like to see an end to the knee.

    Isn’t that what people have been on about NI the Ukrainian felt obliged to do it.

    You’d have to ask him wouldn’t you?

    My take on it is that he had no idea what was going on. So I don’t for one minute believe he felt obligated to do anything.

    More that it is not an issue in the Ukraine. I’ve never been to Kiev so I can’t comment on race relations in that part of Europe.

    What I care about is that my country is seen as being anti-racist and am therefore proud to see the national team showing their continued support.

    Ok then so do you see taking the knee by the players as supporting the anti racism message in sport and nothing else? Yes or no please.

    They are all members of the FORUM SIX Alcazar, theirs is the only acceptable info that can be taken as being the opinion of the general section of British people, others that feel differently are all racists, you should know this by reading what they JOINTLY put on this forum, it has been going on for a couple of years or more.

    If you stopped reading and listening to all the scare stories on the internet and in the press you might stop crapping yourselves about where it will all end and just except these gestures to promote equality for what they are. There’s no ulterior motives behind them. If people don’t agree with these gestures of course that’s absolutely fine. But when you start objecting to their right to do it either physically or online you’re merely demonstrating bigotry (i.e. you refuse to accept their opinions and beliefs). Are you that stupid or set in your ways that you can’t understand that?

    Thanks for your honesty, it’s nice to see you realise the players are voluntarily taking the knee to support anti racism in sport and not some Marxist backed regime as people like BPG have alluded too, with no evidence whatsoever to back up this ridiculous claim. As for the armband, I guess he’s happy to wear it as England captain, something you and I Awaywego will never have the privilege of doing, guess it’s his choice based on merit of being captain.

    People from background who have historically faced discrimination might feel accepted and welcome. Whatever next!

    Wrong again!

    Check the pictures from the Ukraine game which was on July 4th.

    Kane & Neuer both wore rainbow armbands in the game played on June 29th.

    Because June was Pride Month.

    Get it?

    This is not the England team I used to know and love! They are more bothered about virtue signalling for Marxism and queers than the game! This is a team based on libtardism and hatred of this country! All true patriots want nothing to do with this! Mark my words, when this embarrassment continues the supporters will walk away in droves! No-one outside the libtard elite wants this agenda forced down our throats!
