    Just keep burying your head in the sand Bill. Say one thing for you. You’re bloody good at ignoring the truth!

    So you’ve been around for 7.33 years yet those 41 replies have been posted in the last five weeks.

    All of them bar one are personal insults aimed at regular contributors to whom you have given childish nicknames. The one that wasn’t was a religious video designed to test out the atheists on the board, or perhaps to coax BPG into one of his evangelical rants.

    You are listed as “participant” but you are yet to participate in any discussion.

    It would be nice to know what your views are on taking the knee, human rights in China or even Scunthorpe United’s current predicament.

    But no, just a long list of name calling and innuendo.

    Seven years a member of IB would suggest you are not a twelve year-old. Nor seemingly is your alter-ego Xxx.

    If you have to contribute then try participating in the discussion rather than firing a cheap shot.

    Thank you!

    I don’t like racism and would never boo at players taking the knee but I would prefer they didn’t do it, i

    But if they stopped doing it would it not be a victory for racism?

    That’s certainly what the closets on here would think. Clearly not enough is being done otherwise you wouldn’t still be getting the racial abuse on social media.

    The problem is with us all year round too. So no point in doing it once a year or having a BLM month.

    We all need to pull together, but the boo-boys have put the mockers on that!

    We had one who scored goals from outside the 18 yd box, but he got injured so we didn’t renew his contract.

    Been saying for years we need a fox in the box. Then again, so will everyone else. And if we can’t afford a mediocre right-back then we’ll be starting the season with Loft, Jarvis and Turan up top!

    Dobson’s Fizz Bombs.

    The guy who started the business lived just down the road from where Mrs NI grew up. He made a fortune.

    His house and grounds were bought by a certain A Shearer and converted into a gaudy mansion!

    * Considered a ‘YO-YO’ club between league 1 and the championship

    I wouldn’t say that SS24.

    Going straight back up after relegation once doesn’t make us a yo-yo club in the way that Norwich, WBA, Fulham and Watford are in the PL/Champ.

    But apart from that I fully agree with the comments above.

    My main observation is the unkept promises. UTI99 and Awaywego will be along soon to tell us they weren’t promises at all but merely aspirations.

    But aspirations do go to full architectural drawings and planning applications do they?

    The promise of exciting attacking football?

    Yeah, right! Three goals and one point in the last ten games of the season. 22nd in the bottom division!

    Can’t see much achievement there. We’re worse off than when he took over for sure!

    Interesting article here: –

    “Why should I support violence?” Answering the objections to taking a knee.

    And as for raising a fist in a black power salute? despicable.

    Ah! So you prefer your salutes with an open palm, rather than a clenched fist?

    (Remind me what’s on the club badge)

    It was a Scunthorpe united related question so please dont tell me how to conduct myself.

    And May I ask why you ask specifically about Iron players being “made to take the knee”?

    We play half of our league games away. What if you’re at the game at, say, Mansfield and they do it there?

    And as Deerey says it’s two months before the new season starts. What’s the real reason for the OP?

    Northumbiron, if you dont like the subject matter then ignore it.

    Not that, it’s the fact that several threads on this issue have been started. You could have used the “England” one quite easily.

    Of course you’re booing the players! They’re the ones making the gesture. No way can you separate the two.

    I expect you’re asking so you can make sure you get down to the SVS in time to boo them yourself.

    Hopefully you’ll be drowned out by applause like at Middlesbrough yesterday.

    FFS!

    Not another thread on this?

    “Make the players”!!!

    Like “stand in the corner”, or “sit on the naughty step”.

    Give it a rest.

    There are several reasons why he’s performed better at Notts, not all of them are to do with Kyle himself.

    Unless he was talking about his fantasy football team for the Euros.
