Yes exactly. We have seen corporations falling over themselves to be seen to have the right woke credentials such as JP and Sainsburys, Unilever (Ben & Jerrys) all the retail banks etc etc. It just smacks of box ticking and i'm glad this is being challenged by many more people and pieces being written to question the motives of those behind this within the business and sports arenas.

Well it's as good a place as any, though C4, The Guardian or New Statesman could have been quoted

It will have zero influence on a) the match, b) the morale of the players or the long term reputation of the club - i'd suggest that actions of those in the boardrooms at many clubs up and down the country over the years have done much more harm to the clubs than working class fans booing some virtual signalling that the football authorities/MSM/NGOs think they ought to witness.

Exactly, the same at Colchester and West Ham. It is naive to think they were booing the players. How else are working class people to show their dissent? If you don't want them to then don't bring this virtue signalling to football matches. Keep sport clear of religion, politics and even protest unless it's football related and about the club.

It's hardly free Compo, they will try to identify those people and they will take action, as they associate any dissent with racism, even if that was not the intention.

They were not booing the players for being black or black people in general, its the fake symbolism without any challenge and the wider aims that BLM represent. Most of the players don't even know anything about why they are doing it, and this whole conformity of the mindless who challenge nothing must stop as it has in other sports. This is not about the black players and nobody has made it so until your post. Think about why they are continuing to do this in football and why should people in the stand who have paid to just watch a football match without any of the overt political messaging and grandstanding that is going on, again with only minimal challenge about BLM complete agenda.

Well done Millwall fans for showing the elites that football fans have had enough of the virtue signalling nonsense of BLM. Does every cricket or rugby game have the same show of bending a knee? Why on earth are the football authorities continuing with this ridiculous show of wokeness for something that happened in America. Time to pressure them into stopping at every opportunity, though difficult when they control the MSM.

That will do nicely, thank you.

It's all stop/start. The appeal of football over rugby is that the game should just flow. If we get bogged down with appeals, var decisions, 5 subs etc etc its going to be ruined. I'd rather a couple of wrong decisions over the season than disrupting the whole game.

Yes but its these silly shoulder or finger/hand offsides that really get the fans goat, fair enough if its a leg, but if its a part of their anatomy that you cannot score from then it should not be pulled back or disallowed.

A European league in all but name.

Certainly up there but maybe not numeral uno.

Only in America

If anything happens to Son or Kane then they can forget it.

Makes me feel all Christmassy!!

Well done boys, its great to make the other lot pay for dropping points with a thumping win like this. A good psychological blow.

4 mins extra and now +5 ???

Just hold out ffs

I wouldn't put much faith in this. Is that the same João Havelange that was charged with bribes, embezzlement and had reportedly amassed $50 million or more in bribes through his roles in Olympic Committee and FIFA - even Sepp Blatter wanted to strip him of his honorary presidency but at 90 Havelange was let off charges as he paid back some money and cited ill health. He lived till he was 100. Blatter learned all his tricks from Havelange.

This will make the table look even better if it stays this way if 3 points are got tomorrow against the sheep.

Enjoyed the account, as i remember my grandad recounting that him and his mates couldn't afford the ticket price and stood outside Ibrox listening!! Dynamo's visit certainly got the post war footie fans out in numbers. This is the Chelsea west stand in a purported 100,000 gate (they stopped counting at the 74,000 who paid!

It's a view shared by many since they (the SFA & Clubs) tried to drag us down and keep us there for their short term gain. A lot of people are not that forgiving ASIL.
