@ken Good luck tomorrow. Always happy to see the Saints lose. 😉
@plato I guess I just didn’t see it that way. Btw, this is quite interesting on the non sending off. /p>
It seems to me that there’s a lot of truth in this article by Barney Ronay:
@plato Southgate out!?
@ken Rugby World Cup with JW? Too many players for me I’m afraid - I find RU tedious to watch (probably because I’ve never played it at all) - give me...
@ken There are echoes of this in George Williams move to Warrington Wolves. Wigan had a clause in his contract that gave them first refusal when he re...
@allan-in-bahrain The full match is being shown (in colour) tomorrow on TV in the UK.
@ken Those of us who do remember 1966 surely can’t begrudge a bit of a celebration of finally getting to another final. If winning football matches is...
All Hail. 2-1 to the Marxists!
Hats off to all the pleasure you’ve given us with your posts, Ken. I’m sure you’ll come up with a new topic to entertain us before long. I, for one, w...
@ken It’s always sad to hear of someone dying so young. It’s almost as if there isn’t a god after all or that he/she’s given up on the human race.
@lenmasterman One of the best posts in this subject so far. Thank you for summarising my own thoughts so succinctly.

@original-fat-bob Interesting opinion. Can you tell us one thing about being woke that isn’t just a decent attitude to others? I’m proud to be thought...
@powmillnaemore I couldn’t agree with you more. I’ll repeat what I said at the start of this thread - if you boo the players taking a knee, you’re a r...
Some very interesting posts on this thread and, as always, I greatly appreciate the tone of the debate and the nuanced thoughts which have been expres...
@redcarred I see your point about an end goal but, for the time being, the taking of the knee is, if nothing else, raising awareness of the issue. Wou...
@original-fat-bob So we’re the local fans all in one area? I’d assumed the tickets were sold via the England set up.
@deleriad That’s an eye opening post and I particularly like your comment that white people shouldn’t be telling black footballers how they can protes...
@original-fat-bob Why should they? Change shouldn’t come by appeasing the racists.
Wise words from Southgate. He’s a good man./p>
More from the great Marina Hyde:
@redcarred I really don’t think they can stop now or the boo boys have won. As for the “I’m right” comment - I can’t see that they’re not right. Booin...
Another take from David Squires.
Neil Squires in his article worries about what the world will think of England when the booing happens during the tournament and he seems to suggest t...
I agree with much of this opinion piece.
I take your points Werdermouth & RR, but I still maintain that whilst footballers of colour receive the level of online and pitch side abuse that ...
So the booing continues. I’ll say this, if you boo players taking a knee, after Southgate has explained why they do it, then you’re a racist. There ca...
