Its 5 seconds at the start of a game, is it really that much of an inconvenience?

Dead easy if you're racist.

I heard someone booing the person who was booing the booing so I booed them and unfortunately entered an infinite time loop.

Sick of it? It’s something that happens for a few seconds BEFORE kick off. No one’s time is wasted by it being done. Nothing is lost. You aren’t being asked to do anything. FFS.

That’s the danger in these situations.

I heard it loud and clear today. You can call me woke or a snowflake or whatever...but it has to stop. For me it's more important than our league position

There are cameras all over the stadium. If someone was kicking off physically, they'd be picked out and kicked out pronto. IMO the same should happen to anyone who boos the knee. Racism, pure and simple, and needs addressing by the club.

I think that would be trite and frivolous.
This is a major issue that has blighted the world for centuries, and people object to 5 seconds?
If taking the knee lasted for decades, what of it? OK, it would probably mean further measures were needed, fair enough, but it's hardly a hardship for us, is it?
If it's booed in future, I'd like the players to challenge the booers by doing it again.

I sit in south west and it was loud behind me and like I said last week the guy I sit next to boos every time…
he tried to get me involved but I just told him they’re doing no harm and it’s only divisive if you let it be…
he mentioned the 5 black coppers that killed that lad recently… I think the who.e issue is lost on him and a lot of people our age…

If he tried to get me involved, I don't think I'd be that polite.

It seems to go on forever, well that's exactly how I feel.
I grew up being told I was different, I was regularly called a 'half chat/caste' by people in authority and I hit out at people who called me and I got punished.
My favourite was, you know, people like you.
How long does it go on for, you tell me, because I am sick of it.

There are a number of these morons in the south stand and it was quite loud this week. It’s the same people who are happy to sing homophobic songs when we play the London clubs.
It’s about time the club did something about it. A statement could be enough or it may need action such as our players taking the knee again until it stops. Do it directly in front of the South stand if they have to.

You were unbelievably polite. I would have firmly told him he was wrong.

Perhaps supporters club could organise something. A sign or statement to supporting players who take the knee. This occurrence is getting stronger it seems and it needs to be tackled as its a small but annoying blight on our supporters

You've just very clearly demonstrated that you certainly don't "get it".
