Arista why you getting all bent out of shape about this when you obviously don't even follow football:laugh:

No time

People are more offended by people kneeling than by the racism being protested against, it’s still shocking

Taking the Knee represents USA Political BLM

Why don’t they ask all the fans to cheer wildly whilst they’re kneeling and simply drown out the boos ?

King Gareth proving the haters wrong :clap1:

the knee was booed a lot even if the BBC played fake crowd cheers on top and pretended we could not hear all the booing

I heard cheers, lots of them...it was like when nicky came out he house

Just as a matter of interest...how many other countries are doing this?

none that i am aware of. Scotland are doing a stand tomorrow and will take the knee next friday when they play england

Belgium took the knee last night while Russian players looked on

I mean Russia doesn't have the greatest record when it comes to racism in football [emoji1745]

I know i was just responding to who was taking the knee before games only seen England and Belgium so far, not seen the start of all the games though

Ch4HDNews played the Boooo's


How Stupid of the BBC.
Good Job Tonight
GBNewsHD start s with Andrew Neil.

isn't it a bit silly when gareth and the FA want to stop something as trivial as a boo. We live in a free society where people are still allowed to express their opinions in a peaceful manner

Turkey/Italy didn't, Wales/Switzerland did.

Was just coming back to say Wales and Switzerland did :laugh:

So what’s the issue with the players kneeling then? If we’re free to express ourselves peacefully?

Not kneeling teams
 

Hungary
Denmark
Finland
Russia
Holland
Italy
Turkey
Croatia
Scotland

there will be more

everyone knows fine well what the issue is, it is the connection with the far left political group BLM in SPORT and if people dont like it, they can express their opinion peacefully, which they have

Those were the only teams i could remember who did/didn't off the top of my head :laugh:

i cant say i've even noticed if they did or didnt :laugh:

I agree, no issue from me, im not bothered who kneels and who doesn't. But it should work both ways. If a player, or team chooses not to then that should be respected, you (not you) can't brand players or countries racist if they decide they don't want to take the knee.

I mean im watching the Austria/N.Macedonia game right now and i can't even remember if either team took the knee :laugh:
