    No I don't suppose it does. I've just read the full article regarding this and it is optional. I didn't realise there would be no repercussions should a player not wish to do it providing he told the relative authorities and his club first so they could work round it. That does change my opinion somewhat as I based my initial opinion on it being a mandatory requirement.

    Pretty much makes my thoughts in this thread a waste of mine and readers time.

    There is a conflict going on in the middle east in Syria. The Russians are involved and freedom fighters. There are also extremists going over there. It is very hot over there.

    Your thoughts are always worth reading mate. Other people, myself included, find it difficult to admit being wrong. You are always open to discussion.

    Never a waste of time to acquire new information and change your mind accordingly.

    What I meant was what was special about this particular freedom fighter to warrant clapping.

    Well I dunno, there's optional and there's "optional" - we're already into the territory whereby anyone choosing not to take part runs the risk of being vilified by virtue signallers.

    You've just said stick to football. I would suggest that racism is more important than football.

    That's all. Don't burst into tears at the sight of someone taking a knee

    You crank.

    Why on earth would you not drop to a knee for 3 seconds of your life?

    It's not difficult.

    Fcking hell fire.

    I'm out of this thread.

    Carry on.

    Nobody is being a dick to anyone that chooses not to. Merely annoyed with someone complaining about losing 5 seconds of their time.
