Millwall under investigation by the FA for crowd related issues..presumably for the booing after the teams and officials took the knee...

As far as I’m concerned the Millwall fans are an utter disgrace.

Why do they continue to take the knee?

To continue to highlight and protest against racial abuse that is still so prevalent in the game & society at large.

Acknowledged, but why on one knee and why do they continue to use the 'Black Lives Matter' strapline when it has clear association with a political movement?
Why not do what Millwall and QPR are doing?
I will never get down on one knee for it, it doesn't mean that I am racist.

I'm sure everyone will agree that not taking the knee doesn't make you a racist but booing ones' that choose to do so makes some people think you were.

I think you need to educate yourself on this.  It's a movement to highlight the racial injustice in the society.  It's not a political party, it's purely a movement.  Don't get it tangle with some idiots that decided to cause chaos.


I didn't call it a political party, they have had ample opportunity to change their strap line to separate it completely, the kneeling aspect is a subservient act from the USA that disrespects the American flag and imitates the kneeling on the neck by the Police Officer on the criminal they were attempting to arrest that unfortunately and tragically led to his death.  Why is it and the black power salute being used in this country?
The fact that both Millwall and Colchester fans booed during the 'kneeling ceremony' appears to have a great level of support and has caused a change already.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

We will remember them.”  Laurence Binyon
