To all those tossers booing "taking the knee" at yesterday's Millwall game.
Yep and at Colchester as well. I expect that there will be more as additional grounds reopen to fans.Marky Dread wrote: ↑06 Dec 2020, 7:37amTo all those tossers booing "taking the knee" at yesterday's Millwall game.

Of course it wasn't the sentiment that was being booed it was the politics attached to it.

I was there for the last two wins (1972, when Bobby Moore was playing for them and 1996/97 when Ian Dowie scored the greatest own goal ever). Disappointing to lose last night, more disappointing that my dad couldn't be there because of the lockdown, but at least he was pleased with County's efforts (although we never looked like scoring, our main tactic seemed to be damage limitation).
Reading Vs West Ham (friendly) was one of the first games I ever saw as a kid. A friend of mine who was a hammers fan got Bobby More and Geoff Hurst to sign his jacket.laxman wrote: ↑12 Jan 2021, 3:11amI was there for the last two wins (1972, when Bobby Moore was playing for them and 1996/97 when Ian Dowie scored the greatest own goal ever).
