[Football] Millwall fans covering themselves in glory again

[GT49er]

As usual, Dave Squires nails it...

TBH, I'm not exactly sure precisely what Dave Squires has nailed - or is supposed to have - 'nailed' here.

No booing - even applause - after players took the knee before Millwall v QPR.

How disappointed most of the vultures must be that they've got the maturity to put it behind them and show that they have some decent, hard-working and real supporters of football. Still, I don't expect any mention of it at all in tomorrow's media on TV or in newspapers. The only bitter and twisted ones are the cancerous gutter press.

Now I hope we can all move on.......

Yeah, I mentioned it on the ‘football tonight’ thread. Sky News reported booing but was clearly a lie.

Hypocrisy? Ignorance? Duplicity? Morons?

I wouldn't describe his efforts like that.


'Inept' I think I might go for .....................

You mean their excuse for booing anti-racism was removed

No. They were able to support equality without supporting BLM (that's 'BLM' rather than 'blm' if you like, or if you can understand the difference). They apparently can.

Watching the pre match build up at Millwall, I’d say no more than 20% of fans in the stands have face masks on.

EPL and EFL rules are different, they we’re allowed to take them off in their seats

Their booing or an antiracist gesture was in itself a racist act. No excuses. Lovely to see QPR hitting back this evening.

I see! Thank you.

Well done Millwall tonight. Not surprised the qpr players then got abuse for taking the knee after scoring.

Plaudits to Millwall for getting in right. If QPR want to do what they do, fair enough - doesn't detract from Millwall's actions.

Absolutely love this, a great response from QPR and got all the racist gammons and Karen snowflakes showing their true colours.

Oh bravo Millwall, what heroes. You sound very dismissive of QPR's reaction, perhaps I'm reading it wrong?

Why? What did QPR do? Haven't been following the match. Was just complimenting 'Wall on handling the situation well.

I'm referring to the players decision to reverse their stance on not taking the knee before the game because of last week. What were you talking about when you said 'If QPR want to do what they do, fair enough'?

I'm not sure that's a particularly good idea or in the spirit of peaceful protest.

It's hardly violent

WTF

Agreed. A compromise was reached for pre match. This seems a little provocative and will only entrench attitudes further. The whole thing is a bit of an unnecessary mess.
