Finally made it back from your exile then?
Taking the knee as a gesture, existed before the Black Lives Matter group. As far as I’m concerned, taking the knee has evolved into a symbol of standing against racism and asking for equality. Isn’t there enough going on in the world at the moment? If players taking the knee riles you that much, I suggest you think twice before every calling anyone a snowflake or soft again, soft arse.
If you’re looking for bald, middle aged men, wearing Aquascutum shirts and JD issue Gazelles to join you in booing the knee, they’re you’re on the wrong forum and don’t know anything about the City of Coventry.
Not at all for me. Everyone is entitled to take the action they want. Osi Umenyiora explained this better than I ever could.Just curious. If a player didn't take a knee, would some of you call them racist?
Not at all. My biggest concern would be on dressing room harmony as our players have previously mentioned that it was a team decision. If the team were all taking the knee, and one player decided not to, how are the other players going to react?Just curious. If a player didn't take a knee, would some of you call them racist?
Apologies for gatecrashing your forum, but we feel this current state of affairs affects all ordinary supporters. So we are hoping to gain support from the football Family through this letter that me and another chap have put together between us.
I put the idea to our lot on the forum site I go on, and it was generally well received, any other time I wouldn’t have even suggested it. But given the circumstances outside influences have dragged us into, we feel that one voice is better than no voice.
If a few of you can get this out to other forums it’ll be a start. Doing nothing just encourages the extremists. KEEP POLITICS OUT OF FOOTBALL.
Thanks in anticipation.
OPEN LETTER FROM MILLWALL
By now everyone knows Millwall supporters boo'ed players kneeling last Saturday against Derby.
Whether you agree with that or not, please take a few minutes to read this as an explanation as to why we boo'ed.
At Millwall, the majority of supporters do not support the BLM group. We see the BLM group, as a far left Marxist Polictical group. Players kneeling and clenched fists are seen by us as a gesture of support to BLM and not in any way a sign of support against discrimination.
We fully support Millwall FC in their support of Kick It Out campaign. We are against discrimination.
The Media have totally mis-represented us and don't get us. Millwall supporters haven't been given the chance to put their side. If you agree with our stance please be pro active in showing how you feel at games, be creative in the way you do this and stay one jump ahead, to save a potential ban, or email your clubs owners and CEOs To complain.
Lastly please share this with friends.

Yes, I thought that too.
Clearly when our players are doing it, they are doing it out of solidarity for their team mates.
I would imagine there would be an absolute shit storm if someone did a James McClean though. It was bad enough after that match on sky nearer the beginning of the season. QPR I think.
Bollocks.At this point I feel like the players just going through the motions doing it. The message has certainly been lost in the sense that they aren’t thinking about why they are taking the knee when they are doing it. That’s shown by how many times the players forget and kick off or run when the whistle is blown

Probably more so that yours that’s based on nothing but trying to back up your ‘anti-knee’ bias.Great input

It’d be great to see you come out with your crap to the likes of Dabo who has raised his fist several times this season.What bias is that?
Nice of someone to test out the negative like function for us.

The Millwall guy's mention of a football family sounds right, I mean we've all got one of those uncles we've had to unfollow in Facebook
This is going well for the fans of the well known racist club from London.
Why did you think that in Coventry City a club from a proudly multicultural city who's biggest cultural output celebrated inclusivity and who's team proudly wore and anti racist themed kit last season you would find many friends?
He’d heard of the Coventrian
Got to be. Nobody could be that cluelessly inept IRL, surely.Still think it's one of our lot on a wind up

Although GMK's westterrace2 turned out to be a real person...
