Re: Booing the knee

Not hard to see why Burnley has the reputation it does with people on here so against an anti-racism gesture. The mental gymnastics folk go through to justify it is funny though. Just admit you’re racist, it’s fine nowadays!

I can see it from the clubs point of view to make these things a bit more professional and upmarket. You can’t be a premier league team and having your players and staff turn up to the local dog and duck to sit with the great unwashed for an evening.
