Whether or not we agree or disagree with the clubs stance imo the club handle this very badly for once
When the commentators highlighted what we did it made me for the first time look and our starting 11 which was 8 Caucasian and 3 black. Now that is the first time I think I have ever looked at our team make up and I could almost hear the sky management drooling
Would they have been so vocal if it was reversed?
The club is a fantastic advert for diversity but not issuing a pre match statement was i think a mistake
We can say that why should we our record speaks for itself.... well unfortunately it don't or didn't this time
The club is influential in 1000s of lives and it needs to have stands and to make those stands known |
They haven't issued a pre match statement on not taking the knee for the previous few games we haven't done it so not sure why they should now. I don't think it's a protest by QPR or they are against it they have just, like many other Championship clubs, not been doing it every week. It was a complete non story imo and if the game had been any good first half so they had something to talk about I don't think it would have been mentioned. |  | | |

We have made our stands known ..... Ellerslie, South Africa road, The loft, and the school end. |  |

Does anyone know the correct breakdown of Caucasian to Black players there should be in a team?
It’s a difficult one to determine with prime numbers like 11. Wonder if it’s time UEFA insisted on 12 players per side so football has a clearer mandate to work with.
Harumph. |
Are you sure you know what a prime number is? |  | | |

11 is a prime number. | | | |

And that is your response?
I can tell you that easily.... there isn't a correct breakdown as it dont matter
But once the issue was raised by Sky that we didn't take the knee I wondered if the remarks by the studio was taken and that the indication that was are racist may have been fueled by the teams makeup |
I’ve given this some considered thought overnight and I think I may have got this wrong.
This morning I’ll be putting it to UEFA that football teams should be reduced from 11 to 10 players rather than my original suggestion of 12.
For those not familiar with prime numbers, 10 would make it considerably easier to apply the correct percentile of black to Caucasian and apply some clarity for the more woke supporters amongst us. |  | | |

As I said before, you don't have to support BLM to be anti-racist.
Gestures like taking the knee are a waste of time as it inevitably ends up a pissing contest, and an opportunity to shame others whilst showing how right-on you are. In the end the discussion becomes about why you haven't done something instead of being about the real issue of racism.
BLM maybe very vocal at the moment, but they don't own the issue. Institutions should take note of the points they make, but they have no right to dictate how things should be. [Post edited 21 Sep 2020 8:18]

I'm sure we only played with 10 on Friday, sometimes just 8 when defending.
Not having Jude at away games is clear discrimination against cats.
Don't even get me started on dogs when an alpaca can join in a game. [Post edited 21 Sep 2020 8:35]

So you are criticising SKY. |
I honestly wouldn't have been half as angry about this if we'd been live on BBC, ITV or BT Sport.
Sky turning around and saying "oh look, they're not taking the knee" is a bit like Richard Keys telling you you could be a better husband and father. |  | | |

Before posting might I suggest that you understand one of the fundamental building blocks of mathematics | | | |

Here's a little bit I've just had over the whatsapp. Haven't seen the footage so don't know for sure but McAnuff was on the bench for Leyton Orient at home to Mansfield on Tuesday night and apparently they... didn't take the knee before kick off.

Doesn’t surprise me, the whole things become a can of worms.
I felt Mcanuff was rather set up by that dopey presenter. Too many whites in the background no doubt jumping on the band wagon but leaving him to do the speaking for them. Let’s be honest he was damned if he did or didn’t. | | | |

Excellent statement by the club.... and if as I had said they issued something like this before the match then it would have avoided criticism
As my OP tried to point out I don't think the club handled this very well [Post edited 21 Sep 2020 13:15]

The best thing about that statement is it's not afraid to challenge the idea that Taking the Knee is a sacrosanct act that everyone needs to buy in to. And the only way we as a club have gained the right to challenge that is the basis of everything that's been done in recent years - the actual action that Les and Lee refer to. So shut the fcuk up Sky. |  | | |
