I don’t support BLM but keep banging on about them please. I will decry taking the BLM stance until the charade stops. When I originally posted against this in the middle of the mass hysteria in favour of BLM i was called all the names under the sun and had the worst kind of accusations thrown at m...

Must be the shandy going to my head

Rowls

Anti racism and equality are human rights in my book, not political at all. A good 99.9% of people would agree. Which is why nobody complained about the Kick it Out campaign. But would anyone in the universe have the nerve to describe BLM as "not political at all"? Of course they wouldn't. That's t...

you could use that argument about the offside rule.

but seriously, i really miss common sense.

It's not often we find common cause.

Rowls

Seems there’s a few people who like to use the knee to deliberately cause arguments. Another reason why it should be dropped. Efforts should be going into Kick if out instead. When you promote an organisation as divisive and extreme as BLM you are simply asking for these kind of debates. It's preci...

Rowls

again, agreed broadly but there must be examples of sport being politicised. jesse owens being an obvious example. It's true. There isnt a perfectly clear line that can ever be drawn in the sand. But we did have a clear understanding that overt political statements could bog be made. The one except...

I can’t defend the incompetence of the FA. I’m all for anti racism and equality. I guess some people have an issue with those things and have the right to boo. I am a very vocal critic of BLM (and even more vocally critical of the support leant to BLM by the football authorities) precisely because ...

Rowls

The best time to stop making the gesture would have been the day they realised what an error they had made by endorsing BLM. Unfortunately, the PFA, FA et al instead decided to obfuscate about what they'd said and they continued to compound their error by insisting on this ridiculous charade that ta...

Rowls

Originally it was linked to BLM. It isn’t anymore. That’s my point. All the banners before the game today clearly said ‘no room for racism.’ But that's not what the PFA claim. They claim it was never in support of BLM, in spite of their press release saying otherwise. In short, they're trying to ch...

Rowls

To keep saying it’s a BLM gesture is ridiculous. Although no doubt The Telegraph and Daily Mail will tell you that. Yes, originally it was linked to whatever that organisation is, but ultimately its about anti racism and equality. If you want to keep banging on about BLM well I guess that’s up to y...

Rowls

Some people think tackling racism is important. Ditto social cohesion and good race relations.

So there's every reason in the world to stop making the BLM gesture.

i broadly agree though i suspect it wouldn't be so easy.

how to censure it effectively without a backlash?

Easiest thing would be to just stop doing it and go back to promoting Kick it Out and Say No To Racism.

Rowls

If players are going to make overt political gestures they need to accept the fans also have a right to voice their disapproval. It's clear as day why fans find it distasteful for the players to be making a BLM gesture. Claiming it isn't anything to do with BLM is disingenuous and everybody knows th...

Celery is awful stuff. I’d rather eat Brillo pads. ‍🫣

Correct. It's only worthy of going into stock which makes the Celery Stick Thing even more egregious.

No buffet is complete these days without a pile of uneaten celery sticks at its conclusion.

Recently at my local Aldi they did not stock whole celeries but they did stock "celery sticks" which are very similar but notably more expensive. Clearly the celery sticks are popular so I thought I'd share this simple recipe for celery sticks that you can use at home. It only takes about 2 minutes ...

Here's a top tip for you gents: store tins of beans upside down so that you don't have to scrape beans from the bottom of the tin when you open them.*

We might just be the most innovative side in Premier League history.

You must always do what your enemy least expects. This way you will bamboozle him and render his preparations redundant.

This must be why we keep giving the opposition goals, passing the ball to them and getting ourselves sent off.

I fail to see why using the phrase 'christian name' is contentious? It is what I was taught as a kid in a non-secular school so see it refering 'innocently' to a given first name. If that is an issue these days, stop the world... I quite agree but there is, as seen on this thread, a peculiar kind o...

But what exactly is "snooty" about anything I've said? You're really just throwing words around that chime with your own narrow worldview.

Please explain how a surname as a Christian name is a trend among lower income demographics.

It's an anecdotal observation borne out in the OP.

The retake of the quick throw in when the Brentford substitute wasn’t even ready really summed him up. He missed an absolute stonewall penalty and red card too, but was saved by VAR. And he missed a second stonewall penalty and red card when Fofana was rugby tackled at the end of the first half.
