[Politics] Song/Ukraine solidarity for tomorrow

[essbee1]

PB must be just a bit embarrassed by the support shown by the FA for Ukraine at Wembley today.
Oh no I forgot PB has never been wrong in his life.
Our lack of response makes us look tin pot.

So, yes - we were told by PB that political gestures were not allowed under PL rules, or words to that
effect. So, WTF has been happening at grounds up and down the country and at Wembley today?
I'm utterly ashamed by the response from the club to be quite frank.

I wasn't at the game? What was the reaction in the audience? Seems like they towed Paul Barbers line

Are you asking or telling? Desperately poor by your standards.

Add the embarrassing and downright pitifully ignorant response to the crushing episode after the Palace game, it feels like the club are not on a good roll at the moment with their judgements.

One chant of Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine a Ukraine flag at back of North Stand (not shown on screens of course) and a few of us wore yellow. It’s like very few supporters know what is going on in Europe!

Most football fans are thick as ****. They don't know what is going on during a match being played in front of them, let alone understanding there is a war in Europe.

If we had a Ukrainian footballer, I can guarantee there would've been some kind of coordinated protest.

We don’t need Paul Barbers permission for fan led protests (us of all fans should know this) plenty of Chelsea fans with placards , banners etc at Wembley today and i don’t think they asked Roman A or Bruce Buck for permission …

Fair point, but do you not think a lead would have been good?

This totally! Bearing in mind how other clubs have responded and now the FA.

Agreed: Just as disappointed with the supporters as with the Club but, if the Club had used its website to encourage fans to at least ware yellow, more supporters would have taken part.

The reaction of Brighton fans to players taking the knee has shown that we do care about more than just football and has made me proud to support this Club.

So email exchange with PB this evening:
Apparently clubs have to have Ukrainian players to show their support for Ukraine.
And what right do I have to question the moral leadership of the Club?
So the Club haven’t even slightly misjudged the situation.

So what exactly did you suggest to him….exact words would be useful…just to see what PB was replying too.

What Ukranian players do Liverpool or Chelsea have?

 

[rippleman]

Really swift reply from Paul. As I expected he said "political gestures not officially allowed.by football authorities. Up to individual fans then. Yellow shirt and blue trouser anyone?

Except that it didn't bother Everton and it certainly didn't stop Liverpool & Chelsea yesterday whose captains carried yellow & blue wreaths onto the pitch. I'm not hearing of any sanctions being applied against clubs for supporting Ukraine.

Why does Barber see any support of Ukraine as being "a political gesture"? I'm not sure he has read the room (again).

 

[Publius Ovidius]

When the villa player scored, didn’t he have Ukrainian slogans written on his undershirt?

It was reported that he did and he got dogs abuse from brighton fans in the corner.

Not the right question. What Ukrainian players do Palace have?

He had a message of support for A Polish team mate that plays in Ukraine. Ref booked him for taking shirt off too. Rules are rules !! Robot refs can't be using judgement

Who you trying to get crazy with Putin?
Don't you know they're loco?

To the one in cold dark Moscow
I'll just toss you aside like Lukashenko
Like Spam, get done when I come and slam
Damn, I feel like the Son of Sam
Don't make them wreck shit, hectic
The next chair you're gonna get is Electric
"Aaant", you may have got Chernobyl
But you're thick cos it don't even work still
Oh, the allies gonna make you pay
That's why you don't F''K with Ukraine
Bro, I got to maintain
Cause Vlad, You gotta be insane
In-va-ding is insane
Stay out of Ukraine
In-va-ding is insane
Stay out of Ukraine






Like that?

I don't think we need PB.

This club has extrodinary organisers and activists amoungst our fans, just look at what we did in getting rid of Archer and getting planning permission for Falmer. I think fans will step up and (hypothetically) paint the Amex blue and yellow at the next home game.

I very much doubt the Albion fans knew what was on his shirt.
I’m guessing he got dogs abuse because he and his teammates spent ages celebrating their goal in front of Albion fans, same as the Burnley team did last week in the other corner.
