Taking the knee

I knew it wouldn't take long for someone with an ego the size of the Mersey Tunnel would come up with that. Difference is that Kenilworth Road is in the community that the club represents, i.e. Luton. Ironically the laughingly named Community Stadium is no-where near the community it represents, i.e. Colchester.

Whilst KR is shabby and past it's sell by date and has been for a long time at least it looks like a proper football ground as opposed to a quickly assembled maccano set placed in the middle of a field surrounded by nothing other than a fast trunk road encouraging everyone to drive past it rather than to go to it.

Well done for making Luton sound like the Cotswolds.

It does and they do or are you not aware that the game last Wednesday went ahead? In case you hadn't noticed, Luton won 3-1.

Well done... By the way where are Luton in the league.. we are top x

Is that really you Alex? A fine figure of a man I have to say. Where are you ? Looks like a car boot sale.

Are you incapable of reading the league table? We're in the middle of it and delighted with that as we thought we would struggle again. We haven't as yet, and you've won nothing yet either so maybe save the "we're gonna **** the leaque until you've actually done it."

It is me, and I’m in Luton buying some second hand 25watt floodlights after picking up your waistcoat and clip on ponytail from a bootie.

Fair play... just weird you'd say that when you felt the need to point out our recent score..I look forward to playing you in an adequately lit ground without 13 first team squad players being injured.

The people that boo the "kneel" and think football should not be political are probably the ones that boo McLean for not wearing a poppy... More should not be political when it doesn't suit their views... I always thought my Grandad died in the second world war to allow for the likes of McLean to do what he wanted within the law. I always wear the poppy myself.

I agree about Mclean. It’s up to him and I get why he feels as he does. I may feel very differently about the Poppy but each to their own and we are lucky to have the freedom to choose.

The old "we lost cause we had lots of injuries."  Wrong, you lost because you came up against a more motivated and skillful side on the night.

And because we had loads of injuries and because the ref was cr*p and because we defended like tw*ts.

We lost to the better team on the night... Let's see when we have a recognised left back, Pukki, Buendia, Krul, Cantwell etc all available. I have nothing against Luton just pointing it facts. We are over the moon we are top given the injury crisis we have...

Kenilworth Road sums up Luton pretty damn well

"Little lad", very good. Just wondering why you're repeatedly urging for this topic (which is fairly obviously football related) to be tucked out of sight. Infer from that what you will.

Main topic - Norwich city

we have a containment board for a reason

nice ducking as well lad. That’s what I thought in the first place.

Need to get rid of a lot of threads then Buh:

The Sheffield one

Should we start with the one by the Luton fan that won’t leave deliberately trying to ruin the forum? Can we agree on that one?

Yep. That's how the the activists work and no-one has the nerve to see it through for fear of losing their career.

Perfectly up for debate but this derails the main board. It’s a containment board issue. They have their own board where they bleat about boring politics and whatnot. 

[Fr. Chewy Louie 137]

Petriix isn't a Luton fan is he? 

Anyway, the previous thread that was moved was started by a Norwich fan, so that can't be it.

It shouldn't even be about politics, but I understand your stance

Wear a Poppy , dont wear a Poppy, I don't  care, just dont disrespect  what it represents.  I thought my james mcclean thing was funny, no  way was it virtue signalling , I'm much to nasty for that.

Fair dos.. I did too. I doubt too many others got it though.

[jaywick_canery 28]

I wonder if the police killing had happened in Norwich whether the Americans would have come out in support or are we just copying a foreign problem and making it our own?

 

To me it is just hype and the authorities are now too scared to stop the runaway train that it has become.

Much as some might wish to pretend otherwise, “taking a knee” is perceived as being inextricably linked with BLM. For the reasons given in the linked article, and stated far more eloquently than I ever could, many don’t see this ongoing overt support for the BLM movement as necessarily being a good thing.

Doesn’t matter.

The players are doing this to highlight discrimination towards black people, which is correct.

They are not doing it for political reasons.

But you already know this 👍
