Nonsense. They are doing it because they believe it's the right thing to do.

That's not what I said. Your attitude is a bit aggressive, not sure that it's required.
I am saying that the booing adds gravitas to taking the knee in the face of the response.

I'm honestly not being aggressive, just disagreeing with your assertion that they're saying "**** you" to anyone, they're just doing what they believe is right.

Fair play. The term nonsense was what I fastened on. I wasn't suggesting they were doing it because they were saying **** you. Now they get to support something they believe in AND say **** you at the same time.

No problem mate, I typed on the run so it's probably a bit blunt. Plus, well... we're Boro, such shortness is probably in our DNA

It was inevitable, and I don't blame them whatsoever.
I personally think it had lost its impact ages ago, but you can't back down in the face of racist abuse from a crowd.
I don't think there was any just choice but to carry on taking the knee after that, fair play to Southgate.
If anything, the racists have re-energized the impact of taking the knee.

Which was exactly my point but articulated much better by you than I.

Exactly.
Good on them, and good on Gareth for backing them.
If you're willing to boo the players minutes before kick off then you've obviously forgotten the definition of supporter

I'm pleasantly surprised by this, as the way Southgate was talking prior to the players' meeting I thought they were going to stop

what are the policies and vision of this campaign and who is running and funding it?

Arsenal fan Danny Roscoe is running it. No external funding as far as I can see, but the message is pretty clear - actions speak louder than words.

The question is - what are the actions? Saying actions speak louder than words but not actually doing owt - what is that if not rank hypocrisy?

So the vision is to take action.....but with what aim? and what action? Violence or passive? political or apolitical? grass roots or commercial? It seems very unclear.
Who is Danny Roscoe?

Well one look at his profile and it's not apolitical he is anti Joe Biden, and believes the nonsense #creepyJoeBiden, i.e. he hates the left and believes in conspiracy theories. He is also anti-police despite the argument that BLM stand for which is against police brutality and murder.
He also shares pro-zionist nonsense. He is tweeting islamaphobic views.
This is who we should be rallying around, f*ck me, no thanks. The hypocracy of anyone saying BLM are political so we'll follow Danny Roscoe is beyond reproach.....and he's a biggot towards muslims and palestinians.
You can also add misogynism and covidiot onto labels too

update, he's pro-Tommy Robinson beleiving the short cokeheaded violent fraudster to be a 'man of the people'. He's abusive to overweight people or 'fat cnuts' as calls them. Shares conspiracy nonsense endlessly,
"I will always support Israel in teh struggle, call me a Zionist, call me whatever!!"
"At Israel demo with Tommy Robinson"
He uses terms like Kung Flu and tells Immigration officers in london to get themselves down to Dover sharpish.
He is basically one of Yaxley's groupies, and islamophobic. So @uncle_rico, are we anti-racist or anti-racist except muslims? I'm absolutely out of this football lads of all colour against the muslims campaign. They can go f... themselves as can anyone that supports this faux anti-racism campaign run by a racist.
Bang goes the argument about BLM damaging private property because this moron is angry that our police stopped him and a mob entering westfield shopping centre.
He's absolutely thick as mince too, thinks nazi's were left wingers:
He's pro Lawrence Fox:
Do I need to go on? Or are we in agreement that the guy is a lowlife?

Hopefully the police will mop them up and remove them before they abuse any muslims in the area

Don't think many blacks will be there, unless we're talking about shirt colours

I'd noticed those supporting the booing on Teesside site retweeting him, as well as the 'boatloads at Dover' and 'Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy' Yaxley-Lennon stuff
