Booing our players for taking a knee

You'll unfortunately get a few idiots 

You will get a few idiots no doubt. They should just be drowned out by everyone else clapping 

I was thinking about this the other day, what would be the proper response if there was booing?

Sport is and always has been in politics. To ignore that is farcical.

I support the battle against racism but I dont support a terrorist organisation like BLM so I will be booing the players if they continue to the take the knee and sincerely hope they do their research like the Hungarian and Polish players have done a realise what they are really standing for and stop doing so by September.

The good old what about.

Our players have always been supported whether black, white, yellow or orange. Ogbene saying that Hungary should be punished for booing is laughable stuff.  Who decided that Andorra werent worthy of the knee but Hungary were? Though it's getting to the point now where anybody who thinks this kneeling stuff isnt worth a thing is labelled a racist for daring to go against the groupthink. There seems to be a desire among many to import American social problems - the George Nkencho protests clear evidence of that. I would live to know where this supposed systemic racism takes place in Irish society, given immigrants are offered free housing, healthcare, welfare and education. Why is racism a more worthwhile cause for protest than any of the other causes? If our lot were any good we would be off to Qatar where homosexuality is illegal. Bazunu gets his wages paid by owners who have committed horrific human rights abuses including child slavery. It's all optics for the social media generation.

I wouldn’t boo myself as it’s a delicate issue but I have zero issues with supporters booing the knee - they’re not booing because they’re racist (well vast majority) - they’re booing this pathetic blacklivesmatter movement. It was powerful for the first match or two. Since then it’s been diluted to look at me crap. I don’t agree with it - to speak out against it doesn’t make you racist despite the spin trying to be put on it. I also have no issues with supporters booing those that boo the knee! All about opinions and if people want to bring this into the game, we’ll then be prepared for those that have an issue with it to give their spoke too.  Personally, I think it should be all kept out of football!

Absolutely should be kept out.....taking the knee has a long history, but it's most recent history involved 'taking the knee' to the American national anthem, it thus became political (in a country thousands of miles away) ......then you have the Sky with it's words when the knee gets taken like it some solemn ceremony with 'black lives matter' splashed upon the screen ............noticed there was no knee with the Italians to no furore but then again the Western Woke culture can't help itself with it's ringleaders in chief the US and UK.....course we have follow suit like good puppy dogs
