Your opinions are at massive odds with the manager, the players, and it seems the majority of the support.
Fuck off with this theory that I’m somehow a racist for holding an opinion
I hate racism - it’s dreadful but you literally don’t know me
Both teams did before the Leicester match.This goes against everything most people have said about Sheffield Wednesday up until now. Most on here don't care for Sheffield United and think Wednesday are okay, a " proper"club. Perhaps that's now all changed .
Were Wednesday asked to take the knee or are the club racist because they didn't ?
Did Wednesday players take the knee last Saturday or am I getting confused with Oxford United ?
Not to mention their supporters booing us doing it
The fact that their players didn't take the knee allowed their racist fans to boo it with more vigour than they would have if they would of had to boo their own team.If they hadn't, their argument that it was a beef with KP might just have had a little bit of credibility, but they fucked that right up.

but people on here seem to love themWhole club is rotten. I honestly couldnt give a fuck, it's not my problem, but the clubs rancid.
I'd thought for years they were a decent set of fans especially after the ground sang Hi Ho Silver Lining after some fans of theirs died coming back from a game. This whole episode has changed that though, hopefully stuff them in the replay and they get relegated.but people on here seem to love them
A good old fashioned club is what they say. Old fashioned in many important ways it seems.

I never really cared about SW but everything about them is just toxic . The players not taking the knee how disrespectful. And their fans ( not all ) are just thick uneducated scum . I hope we teach them a lesson in the replay and they get relegated.
This place is a right shitfest at times. But their place makes all of us look like intellectuals.Genuinely not, there was a fella on that OWLSTALK site saying it.

I stated how I used to love going to their place. A sithole of a ground maybe but a proper old ground. Always enjoyed having a few beers and mingling with their supporters.but people on here seem to love them

Many are like me. As fick as fuk.I don't need any help!
It shows no resemblance of being in 2024 and in fact is stuck in the past.I stated how I used to love going to their place. A sithole of a ground maybe but a proper old ground. Always enjoyed having a few beers and mingling with their supporters.
Fast forward a couple of decades and it shows no resemblance of years gone by. A big difference to what you allege.
Nah, Balding Deniers are worse than Covid Deniers.Talking of Barry Bannon, I see Alex Pritchard may be available, any takers?

Surprised with that mob. They didn't use to be like that. Seemed to be a decent bunch of fans over the years. Unlike the horrible 'blunts' but your right I hope we absolutely stuff them. With any luck we won't play the racist scum for many years, after they get relegated. Good riddance to bad rubbish.I never really cared about SW but everything about them is just toxic .

Am I ? And why would you be unsurprised I defend Bannon . What was said in the conversation he had with Kasey ? Genuinely . I don't know . So tell me and everyone else so we can make an informed judgement. Or don't you know.Fcuking hell.... no surprise you are defending Bannon.
I completely agree. What I'm asking is , are people suggesting that by not taking the knee it makes the club racist ? It seems to me they are and it's utterly ridiculous. It's like suggesting if I don't go on a gay rights march or have a rainbow flag in my window I'm homophobic .No club’s racist if they don’t take the knee - ffs - in that case then,every club in the country’s racist because they don’t do it every week
Ridiculous
Why didn't the black Sheffield Wednesday players take the knee ? That's a bit odd. Had they done so perhaps other SW players may have followed.you do keep on about taking the knee though, which seems to be a pet hate of yours….but you haven’t really given any explanation as to why? Do you have arthritis and difficulty getting down and back up again?
In any event, and I’ve already said this on a previous thread, taking the knee last night wasn’t about any political movement, it was purely and simply about taking a stand behind one of our players who was racially abused on the same pitch less than a week earlier, and the fact the SW players (or the club, who knows) CHOSE not to follow suit (and obviously also the fact a large number of their fans CHOSE to boo not only the fact our players took the knee, but then also boo ONLY the player who was racially abused) says something….
a question then, taking into account the above, if it was you as a SW player, would you have taken the knee? and if you were a SW fan would you have booed our players for doing so?
I've just asked that above, I think it must've been discussed as they were all at the centre circle not in their positions so it was a unified decision whatever the opinions of it right or wrong.Why didn't the black Sheffield Wednesday players take the knee ?

Perhaps CCFC didn't communicate what was going to happen to Swfc. Perhaps SWFC chose to ignore it. Who knows ?
You'd have thought that given what happened to Kasey last Saturday and the fact that clubs generally have long since stopped taking the knee, when the SW team saw what our players had opted to do, there would have been a kind of instinctive action to join in , to join them in support, even if it looked a bit unplanned and delayed by a few seconds. They didn't. Their reaction and the way stood looked odd and to be honest a little defiant. In not doing so it said to some of their supporters go ahead with whatever you did last Saturday, we aren't bothered.I've just asked that above, I think it must've been discussed as they were all at the centre circle not in their positions so it was a unified decision whatever the opinions of it right or wrong.
Agree. I had a soft spot for them after that and I remember a few of their decent fans coming on here and it was all very amicable and heartfelt.I'd thought for years they were a decent set of fans especially after the ground sang Hi Ho Silver Lining after some fans of theirs died coming back from a game.

Oh there'll be calling him Enzo!Personally i love the shreaded wheat look.
He’s a decent player but a shit of a bloke.
As a player I reckon he would look decent in our team but he’s such a wanker that I’d hate to see him in sky blue.
Wonder how much has changed, whether the South Yorkshire police force has really changed?Agree. I had a soft spot for them after that and I remember a few of their decent fans coming on here and it was all very amicable and heartfelt.
At that time I had no idea they had such a problem with racism.
And as has already been alluded to, whether or not people think that taking the knee had, had it's day, this was one day where it should have happened from both sides to show solidarity.
It looks awful now that they didn't do that and obviously fuelled their fans up more.
Very sad.
I'd assume it was of benifit to their team in a tactical sense,any edge and all that, can't imagine any black players would be against otherwise.Regardless of their fans behaviour, a lot of stick for the SW players not taking the knee. I was disappointed our players were booed for doing so and also that they didn't join us, but do we know why? As they have black players on their team, I think it's a stretch to assume they're racist and therefore assume that standing together in arms was their way of solidarity.
It must've been discussed and a decision taken in their dressing room. Do we have any direct quotes on their decision or have some just made their mind up on the reason? Apologies if already mentioned and I've missed it.
