You're right of course. But he's made his point regardless! | |

Jacob Rees-Mogg and Andrew Davies (welsh Conservative leader) have both recently visited the racecourse so for the club to come out and say its political views remain impartial is a bit of a kick in the teeth to the fans who will i'm sure be singing the slogan on Mullins boot even longer and louder tonight [Post edited 25 Oct 2022 16:01]

A small thing but I love a player still wearing simple black boots. Young Sinclair wore black on Saturday and was possibly the only one to do so. | | | |

It's fine for fans to say that kind of stuff but you can't have that kind of message on a footballers boots or shirts. This may be a message you agree with but it opens the door to other messages from people with different political views and so quite rightly they don't allow any of it. | | | |
Paul Mullin's boots on 16:37 - Oct 25 with 2412 views | BrianMcCarthy | I'm not sure that I'm completely against political statements by athletes - after all, we celebrate Mexico '68. I think, though, that football is a team sport and, if at all possible, individual athletes should not makes statements that might disrupt the collective. If they still feel the need to make such a statement, then I think it should be slightly more subtle and slightly more intelligent than "F*** THE TORIES". | |

I’m only now willing to make an exception for orange boots, as long as Chris Willock is wearing them. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Paul Mullin's boots on 18:50 - Oct 25 with 2137 views | NW5Hoop | Football is in a terrible mess over all this stuff. Football's governing bodies are political entities and they engage in politics all the time. Having World Cups in Russia and Qatar is a political statement, of far greater effect than having a slogan on your boots. Letting dictatorships splash their names across shirts is a political statement.The only people who are not allowed to bring politics into football are the players. Of course. Because God forbid they should have opinions. | | | |

Paul Mullin's boots on 00:45 - Oct 26 with 1804 views | DannyPaddox | In truth not be the first banned political boot. These were banned for being anti-Semitic. Although the subsequent Forde report proved that to be absolute bullshit. Political satire eh? … wa-hey! | | | |

Indeed. Mullin would have got away with it if he had added something like "Please hate responsibly" beneath the strapline. | |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

I believe his initial request to his boot supplier was: "Labour produces marvels for the rich but it produces deprivation for the worker." (Marx, 1867)" ...but he was limited to 13 characters. | |
