I absolutely support taking a knee and I agree that it has nothing to do with politics but I don’t think we can assume that everyone that boos is a racist. I believe the booing is driven by a narrative promoted and driven by racist organisations that taking a knee is supporting a Marxist organisation which the original BLM organisation was. BLM and taking a knee no longer means this as it has moved into the public domain and consciousness as a non-political strap line and action to highlight racial injustice, however, that doesn’t support the insidious narrative being peddled.

But he’s implying that taking a knee is kowtowing (or was it “grovelling” that he said) to left wing extremists when taking a knee clearly isn’t and means something completely different. I wasn’t being literal in my accusation towards him; I was attempting to make him realise that things aren’t as someone always assumes.

This.

You don’t get nuanced comment then?

To be fair mate, I don’t think many sports people identify with any left-wing poliitics. I believe they are doing it to highlight racial injustice. You sound quite prejudiced if I’m honest - maybe even a right wing extremist. Maybe you’re not but I’m making the assumption that you are a right wing extremist in the same way you’re making your mind up about people taking a knee.

Can you answer my question please mate? Why were fans booing players for taking a knee?

Fancy asking Sterling if he’s justified his starting place. What a stupid question.

Why are they booing?

Kane looks like he’s going through the motions to me.

Agreed

Right, here’s my twopene’th: I feel we are missing overlapping play from our fullbacks. We are giving the forwards the ball and expecting them to do everything without support.

He has no end product though; particularly when he has a responsibility to create chances.

We played well for 25 minutes of that half.

The problem being that neither have an end product.

We’ve lost our fluency
