I bet they wouldn't have done that with a crowd inside the ground. | |

When all said and done politics and taking the knee should be kept out of sport,going to watch your team should be an escape from the world's woes for a afternoon and if I was a player I wouldn't kneel because of that but I know that I would be rounded up on by the dogooders and proclaimed to be a racist,why do we have to have a gay day at grounds as well,there was one last season at Notts with multi coloured corner flags and players wearing rainbow laces amongst other stuff scattered around the ground,it's just wrong forcing opinions on people,just go.to enjoy the game ffs | |

TIME OUT
This is a battle nobody will or can ever win because MOST/ALL are institutionalized.
This life is about LEARNING .it is fleeting.
For those Atheists Boy have I got news for you .
This life is about YOU and learning detachment (Watch the life of PI)
Its about LOVE simple as.
These debates will and are intended to be eternal

How does any of that prevent you from enjoying your match day experience? It’s not as though you are being pulled up because you happen to be black by a copper or beat up because you are gay, is it? | |

There are loads of other platforms to air your views on racism or homosexuality,why drag it into Meadow Lane as well,I want a relaxing or even an exciting day of football not somebody else's views forced upon me especially as I've paid twenty odd quid for the experience [Post edited 13 Sep 2020 11:24]

You've called folk out for differing to your warped ideas having clearly swallowed the handbook,insinuating that its racist to disagree,gone right around the houses to petty point score when folk have made valid reasons why its an absolute load of bollox...
Ill "bleat" whenever I like too if thats OK with you? [Post edited 13 Sep 2020 11:37]

You should try across the river for good football, chalky lad. | |

Just ignore it and concentrate on the high level of football on the pitch.
I manage to ignore the crappy advertising that’s all around the ground, when watching the amazing football played at Spotland, pretty sure you can ignore some pink boot laces and players taking a knee. | |

Im with you chalky....on this matter only....and with that.....FOC. | | | |

But why should I have to ignore the political and sex views of others? I've come to get away from that crap for the afternoon not have leaflets rammed into my hand as soon as I enter the ground,leave politics out of sport because if anything it just becomes counterproductive with me | |

Racism, Religion, Politics & Hendo should banned from this board, would make reading it a lot less painful at times...
For the record, Bobby Grant was found not guilty after a 2 day trial. What he actually said was “you fookin goon) | |

Observing teams taking the knee is becoming something of a 'thing' in itself, as the camera zooms in
Who's looking like they don't want to be doing it?
Are the black players checking on their white team-mates, to make sure they're taking it seriously?
Who's got an expression on their face that says "Look at me, i'm taking this very seriously" i.e. trying too hard
Who's thinking "Which player was it the manager told me to mark at corners?"
All this and more, whilst being perfectly mindful of the issue
Could be more interesting than the game itself, unless we stop faffing about at the back

Agree, and I’m usually one of the people arguing on here when stuff gets political. I think a lot us can’t help ourselves. Especially after a few pints in the sun in my case (Sorry ;)) One reason I stopped using social media was to avoid having to constantly read through other peoples’ political leanings. I don’t know most people on here behind their usernames. I don’t need everyone to agree with the same stuff as me. I’ve got friends and family I can put the world to rights with if I need to. So from me anyway an effort to stick to posting about the Dale this season (and retaining my prediction league crown ofc). | | | |

My Grandson's off to Uni at Nottingham on Wednesday for a 4-year course. He's staying at Raleigh Park. I've told him to get down to Meadow Lane for his fix of football and he's quite looking forward to swelling the numbers by 1.
He's looking forward to NCFC becoming his 'adopted team' after being reared on Dale games. for the past 14 years. Plenty of the teams in that league have been to Spotland in the years he's been watching Dale.
Buy him a brew and make him feel welcome. | |

It's good to see a grandad giving his grandson such good advice when leaving home for a strange city,if he wants to join in with some singing and general rowdyness then he should sit in the kop or if he prefers to get 10 minutes kip at sometime then sit in the Pavis stand but the kop is cheaper,I know that in the past Notts have done cheap admittance and even free tickets to some games for students but I can't remember seeing those offers for a while but then again I haven't looked and I will ask around then crowds are allowed back in,singing the wheelbarrow song is unfortunately compulsory  [Post edited 13 Sep 2020 13:02]

Agree with all that ,but being an athiest or not does not make those views more or less valid. | |

Already doing that , I’ve refrained from responding on this post because it was designed to wind people up, and the usual subjects are out in force with the cut and paste philosophies. Just the footy to concentrate on for me.(probably). | |

Great post. Find myself in the same position Ancoats having deleted my FB and Twitter accounts for that reason. I have tried to avoid posting about politics on here too, it was the reason I ended up not reading or posting on here for a couple of years so I need to be wary of being hypocritical and going down the same route. | |

It was not ever designed to 'wind people up' - as you put it - when I made the OP. It was my opinion. Nothing more. When does it cease? Why will it cease? What will the reaction be when it DOES cease? Nobody seems to know.
People have expressed their views, which is fine. Others have offered their counter views as well. Equally fine. That's what discussion and debate is about. Exchanges of views. Stop thinking about ulterior motives. There wasn't one.
'The usual suspects' - whoever they may be - are entitled to contribute. You (or I) don't have to agree.
Disagreeing with someone, doesn't mean you have to hate them. | |

I don’t know most of the people on here, the ones that I do know I don’t hate, some I actually like! As I said going to concentrate on the football, I’ll leave others to ruminate on the overthrow of the world order or football gay days  | |

If all of us were born the same life would be different, that’s what makes us the human race. Unfortunately we are not and there are far more atrocities happening everyday around the world...
On the plus side, if we were all born the same we would be all Dale Fans & no one would support NCFC  | |

| Taking a Knee on 18:51 - Sep 13 with 809 views | ncfc_chalky |
And yet Notts has a bigger fan base than Dale | |
