So taking the knee makes us look wet! It's an empty gesture and it also appears to be the reason why we've been so awful since relegation and should therefore, be stopped. What next, ban the minute's silence for Armistice day because it interrupts the warm up before the game. Ban wearing a black arm band because it impedes the flow of blood in the players arms (and possibly to their brains). Stop fans from clapping for one minute during the match to commemorate a fellow supporter as it distracts the players. Or is it just the gestures mainly associated with black community you want to stop. Another silly woke warrior trying to close down valid discussion

It literally lasts about 3 seconds before the game kicks off. Why the hell would you care that much if it happens or not.

Quite possibly the most pointless thread ever on the Oatcake

Another silly woke warrior trying to close down valid discussion Edgy, he said “woke”…… Woke has joined the likes of words such as socialist, libertarian, liberal, communism in that it has a myriad of definitions tailored for whomever is using it. Hell we're even doing it with what we previously thought we're pretty simple words like women 😆 Its the political and media class that seem to create this shyte and the consequence seems to be that it keeps us lot bickering and distracted whilst our political and media class keep failing us on a monumental scale. I'll take you as an example. I agree with plenty you say, you seem a decent chap if I can be so forward to say. But I don't agree with all you say. But I imagine if we met we'd get on fine and find we have plenty in common. Yet the way the world is right now over social media we could probably be coerced into having a rare old scrap over some nonsense created by our political and media class. What the solution is I have no idea. For me personally I just try to get along with everybody within reason but I will play the devils advocate somewhat when I see what I perceive to potentially be bullshit. Reasoned debate seems to be something we are losing our collective skills on. In my opinion of course 😆

Because it makes us look a kind and friendly bunch of wets when we need to ooze testosterone and look ready for a scrap. The opposition laugh up their sleeves at us. I think that the inability to win a single 50:50 for 90 mins results in more laughs to be honest. I don’t think taking a knee has anything to do with that.

But what makes me laugh is it’s “lefties” that get called snowflakes, yet there’s a large chunk of people in society (and on here) who literally get offended by everything. It must be tiring……

Remember the good old days when the players used to sprint out of the tunnel straight towards the Boothen into their positions, none of this pre match handshake shite and taking a knee. Even the music that used to play just before the second half started.
The whole personality of this club is dead and has been for a while.

But what makes me laugh is it’s “lefties” that get called snowflakes, yet there’s a large chunk of people in society (and on here) who literally get offended by everything. It must be tiring…… I mostly gave up on left and right years ago. Mostly because I found myself liking policy ideas from both sides so often find myself precariously conflicted. Both sides have snowflakes who suffer this permanently offended sickness. And I've had some moments myself in the not too distant past. I just find myself wanting a more simple life nowadays. Life is too short to be quarrelling with random people 24/7. Not that that is a general solution though for this obvious societal problem however. The political and media class have dug it in too deep now. The division gives them the oxygen they crave to stay relevant and make money and gain political clout. Its why in the main I tend to avoid getting into too much of the political debates on here. Well that and the fact i realise I'm no political expert of course. I do like chucking the odd hand grenade in for a bit of sport though😆 just to test senses of humour or maybe to consider another point of view that isn't popular🙂

Like the old Labour Party used to be.

Who cares? Let them get on with it if they want to. It's the way they play during the game that matters right now, nothing else is important.
