    How bizarre.

    Because much less than 15 posts ago, you were liking my posts which implies you agree with them?

    Now you've came out of the blue telling me where I'm going wrong.

    Your now saying I'm failing to see sense. But can you explain to me the sense in what your doing?

    Well why ask me what I would do, do you actually know what you’re saying when you post on here

    You'd be the only player in the whole football league not doing it.

    Fair play.

    Erm ok?

    Sounds like you've been playing too much poker or something.

    Again,

    Read the thread properly, and you will know I'm not talking about whole teams.

    Teams are made up of players.

    Some teams have decided they don't want to take the knee.

    It's that simple.

    "It would seem QPR have decided internally after discussions between their staff and players, not to take the knee in their games at the start of this new season,"

    Just to clarify,

    I'm talking about a single player refusing to do it amongst everybody else in the ground.

    I know exactly what you're talking about but the QPR players have decided, as one example, not to bother.

    Individual players will eventually decide it's pointless and the whole thing will fall apart and, in my opinion, end up looking embarrassing.

    Ok well let's see if an individual player decides not to do it.

    IMO that won't happen as much as I'd like it to.

    I like Micah Richards but I feel he's being wildly reactionary and totally missing the point.

    He automatically believes people are being racist when, perhaps, they're just bored of being told what to do and how to feel.

    Are the black poor of that area any worse off than the white population, would the white people's great grandfathers have made themselves rich from the slave trade?

    The reality is that their forebears would've been on the 'dock labour scheme' whereby men turned up for work and those not chosen would be sent away.

    Dion Dublin is no better and comes across as a bit of an extremist imo.

    "Former striker Dion Dublin added:

    "They don't agree with taking the knee, which means they are racist."

    Just f**k off, I don't agree with taking the knee for many reasons ...

    ... don't you dare brand me a racist you bigot.

    Unfortunately because of their attitude they are creating more racists.

    FFS man, branding people racist because they don't agree with bending their knee to another race ...

    ... it's absolutely ridiculous.

    That’s an absolute disgrace from Dublin.

    Taking the knee is about equality so you’re branding folk for using their own free will?

    The knee doesn’t offend me, I’m all for equality and I don’t see colour personally, but ramming anything down folks throat is wrong.

    Racism is 2 way Dion, regardless of your skin you’re a ****ing ****er.

    When I worked the streets of Nottingham, for the Salvation Army, I bent my knee for people of any colour in a shop doorway ....

    .... but I'm not bending my knee for a movement that sees itself as superior.

    Dublin is being caught up by radical rhetoric and doing himself, and everyone else, a real disservice.

    Booing is frowned upon apparently and is racist according to Dion Dublin. Maybe turning your back would be deemed more appropriate.

    To be fair Dublin has spoken out many times about the racism displayed by James McClean.

    Oops, sorry, I meant 'hasn't' ....

    I wouldn’t class him as racist, terrorist sympathiser maybe.
