    How embarrassing was it when City players attempted to take the knee against Tranmere on Tuesday. Half of them didn't even bother / couldn't be bothered. What a pointless, virtue signalling gesture.

    Not at all embarrassing. Some took the knee and some stood and clapped as have other teams in the past.

    I know your agenda Tony my point was simply the players have chosen their action at that time. Which was what some were suggesting was lacking previously.

    That's not how it was though, even if you want to believe it. Some were looking around, half bending down then back up, not knowing what to do. Cook and another player actually started running forwards whilst the rest were kneeling. Clearly there wasn't a collective stance, nor even a pre-match discussion from our team. It's a joke.

    If it meant anything they'd be sure of what stance they were taking. It was just an embarrassing mess.

    When you've got some players trying to play the game from the whistle, and others kneeling, and others looking around looking lost, it looks like a bit of a sh*tshow mate.

    That is the trouble with extremist views-there is never any middle ground-either you are far left or you are far right. I will leave it there.

    Happy to occupy middle ground on most subjects but I'll tell you what.......won't be long before buying milk and eating bacon sandwiches will be considered to be far right ...

    Is this part of they are cancelling Christmas argument?

    I've seen people moaning about easter eggs, when they aren't really anything to do with easter as they have been on sale for the last two months and easter is still over 5 weeks away.
