What te f**k has OXFORD got to do with MANCHESTER????
YES NOTHING !!!!!

There is this.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Only words.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

If it was displayed on a flag it would have been banned from the stadium and the person responsible arrested for the same offence.

That is not a moral justification just a further egregious use of law enforcement and incarceration

If a comedian puts a joke on a flag that’s edgy they should be sent to jail too?

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

They absolutely can. They’ve gotten people killed in the past.

I believe we have a clear law for that. Murder.

There shouldn’t be laws where you don’t know whether you’re committing a crime or not and have to rely on the subjective mood and judgment of those around you

I agree. I just disagree with the idea that words mean nothing and can’t hurt people.

In general. Not in relation to a stupid idiot in a football shirt.

Really, how thick and nasty would you have to be to do that and not have a fair idea you’d be causing gross offence? I’m not saying he should be jailed but I’d make him sweat for a bit longer.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

Of course words hurt people. Both of you @RyanioBirdio and @werthersoriginal made me sad by disagreeing. And of course he’s causing offense to many.

But many things you both say and do cause same to many folk across the world . It’s not your fault though ….you never had the love of Matt Taylor or George Baldock to bring a love is love vibe into your world

Maybe screenshot this for yourself for the hundreds of occasions where you get triggered by something someone (often from minority groups) says or does. You couldn't cope with 11 footballers taking a knee before a ball was kicked this time last year!

I don`t get "triggered". I express my opinion which differs from others, its how a discussion platform works.

However I will 100% defend the right of anyone to express their opinion in words and happily debate with them.

I might even read and think maybe they have a point, and my view may change/soften, that is called being an adult.

Equally, sometimes, the majority view must take favour because that is how life works.

So did "taking a knee" make any viable difference or did it just fade away to nothing?

 

[Grumpy Git]

The Warwickshire idiot should be given 10 hours community service.
To be performed in the Anfield area of Liverpool, whilst wearing what he thought was a funny comment.

It's impossible, and highly subjective anyway, to know as to whether taking the knee did 'fade away to nothing' or whether it had an impact in the minds of a few or many. As such, I'll not waste time arguing on that point.

A more interesting question for me is why so many were outspokenly offended by it, when they thought it would fade away to nothing.

Yes good result ,I was there & many more Oxford /Manchester games home & away .my most memorable one is when Derek Clark, scored in the bottom right hand corner of the net . 1- 0. My reference was a little joke from the film , the firm . When a lad turned up with a half west ham & Celtic hat. & Matey boy goes what the f**k have we got to do with Celtic..
Remember this day well, when they got relegated 74/75 season they took literally thousands every where swamped Towns & Cities.Remember loads jumping over the osler road roof to get in. Majority of their support came from everywhere apart from a few from Manchester. As for City they nearly all was from Moss side areas.
Not anymore they've gone just like United..

Offended or merely pointing out its pointlessness?

Is anyone still taking the knee to highlight any perceived issues?

Still at least those at the top of BLM have made a pleasant sum of money from those who fell for it.

What happened in Salisbury last week?

Remember the Clark 1:0 game well. Man U fans ran at and karate kicked open the Beech Road gates only to be held back by a single police dog (or so my story goes ).

Wasn't it on Match of the Day that evening?

Yes , I was on the corner of Osler rd , London rd , by the floodlights. They booted the gates there too. Then came over the roof.. There's a couple of them in the bowels club. Either before then , or after??

Come on, plenty were obviously offended, even if you weren't.

Nobody made any money from the simple gesture of taking a knee.

And anyway, a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist making money?! Nah, summat doesn't add up there...

 

[chuckbert]

Offended or merely pointing out its pointlessness?

There were a few who were absolutely - how you say - frothing.

At the height of their fame the ‘Rollers’ came to Chipping Norton recording studios. It was absolute bedlam down New Street with hundreds (ok dozens) of tartan clad teenage girls causing mayhem. Chippy had never seen anything like it and probably hasn’t since!

Tell me about it ,the whole of Britain was taken over by Roller Mania. Didn't they play at the New Theatre, & it was mayhem & got cancelled.
