Millwall Fans

I'm sure it won't be a isolated incident at all. Sadly.

 

Tory MP thinks it was fair enough to boo the taking of the knee.

Isn't he the former UKIP guy?

 

Millwall fans just enjoy been w@nkers altogether. Quote: my grandad who went to a testimonial down their years ago with his hammer friend. Unsure what happened but he said it shook him for years.

 

Can't agree more. The acts at Millwall yesterday prove for me that taking the knee needs to continue, to show up the racists. However, they should be dealt with appropriately by both the club(s) and the FA

 

To further the point, the "No Room For Racism" campaign has replaced the BLM one in football for his season - players wear a NRFR badge rather than a BLM one. This was done so racists couldn't hide behind the marxist/politics in sport lie that they like to peddle.

So yesterday, Milwall and to a lesser extent Colchester have literally booed the No Room For Racism Campaign.

Animals.

 

Yup

 

Whilst I hope you're completely wrong about it getting booed at Oakwell, I do agree with your comments about there being a lot of racists in the UK and the level of division today. The last time it felt anywhere near this divided was in the 1984 strike.

 

To be fair Pete, it’s good to see some consistency from a Conservative Minister. Eustace has been a fool for most of his career and he continues to show he is one today.

The sad news is that this is the man in charge of combating Climate change, the recovery of nature and the UK’s replacement for the hugely damaging CAP. We’re in trouble!

 

On a more positive note it was good to hear the condemnation from some of the players of their own ‘fans’ for their actions. Don’t underestimate how hard that is for a young footballer.

Sadly, like others, I think there is a good chance that there may be similar scenes from the Crowd at Oakwell. It will be interesting to see the players and the Clubs reaction - if that happens.

 

I do agree. Some people do need some sort of course. I still maintain that if the education system was properly directed we wouldn't churn out as many of these morons as we do.

 

I agree to some extent, but it's the racists that need educating not the children. It's ok teaching this in school, but then they've still got to go home and listen to the racist abuse by their parents.

 

Good. It certainly wasn't in my day. I still think that the education system is incorrectly weighted.
Coming out with a passable knowledge of cumulo nimbus and what went on in the thirty years war has little value beyond passing an exam. There's a myriad of literature, philosophy, humanities I'd rather see covered.
I wonder how many of the goons on the Millwall forum have ever picked up a book much less something like To Kill A Mockingbird.
Anyway, just one of my pet rants.

 

Agree mate. It comes from their home upbringing.

Kids aren't born racist. I've been a teacher for over 10 years and you'd be surprised how few incidents of racisms I've dealt with as a teacher and/or a pastoral leader.

It was only an issue in one school (a mainly white one.) Once dealt with a lad who called my Asian colleague a P***. Phoned home to inform Dad of the incident and what the kid had said. His response was, "well she is a P*** isn't she?"

One of the few times I was lost for words in my career.

 

Who the hell would want to play for that club. Going forward. I Think money will not encourage em. If so. Shallow springs to mind.

 

Actually that reminds me of something I'd somehow completely forgotten from school. We had one boy (possibly two brothers actually) who were indian or Pakistani looking, I didn't really speak to him so couldn't tell you what his ethnic background actually was but you get the idea. he was absolutely hated at school because he was the most horrible person you can ever meet, he smashed all the school windows, spat at people and was generally just the worst kid in the school.

Anyway one day I was in the school yard and he spat at someone for no reason and I'm not sure exactly what led from that to what I witnessed but there must have been about 10 kids singing 'theres no black on the union jack' to him for 5 minutes straight. A teacher was there and did absolutely nothing. I was talking to my head of year later that day and asked if he'd heard about it, he said yes but there was no point doing anything because he was such a horrible kid. Yes he was but that doesn't make it right.

Another incident was we had a teacher who again was of a similar background (am I the only one who doesn't really know just from looking at someone where they're from?) who actually got locked inside his classroom and had p**i chanted at him from outside. Only by one boy but everyone knew who he was, the teacher inside knew who he was and the teacher who came to unlock the door knew. Again nothing at all got done.

So I agree that we don't need to educate people not to be racist because you aren't born with it but at school they should definitely be doing more to educate the ones who have already become racist than they used to. I imagine it's much different these days though

 

I remember being on the schoolulbus in the late 90s, and we had a black bus driver one day.

I'm not going to type out what one of the lads kept shouting but it was a rhyming phrase that ended with trigger.

Everyone thought it was hilarious. I cannot imagine how that bloke must have felt ffs. Just driving a bus. Makes me sick now to think about it. And though I didn't find it funny at the time, I didn't fùcking pipe up, either. Didn't fancy getting flattened by big hitters, I guess. And I was only a kid. Still feel bad like.

 

Well year 7s tend to do things like Boy in the striped pyjamas, year 9s maybe noughts and crosses . Of mice and men is usually covered and there's a social commentary on how backs were treated in that. History wise WW2 gets covered a lot. Then you have life lessons where racism is covered.
Primary schools usually celebrate Black history month too.
