I’ve not seen any comment on this so I’m wondering if I imagined it but I’m pretty sure neither team took the knee before the game yesterday.

I thought the same. One of the Hamilton players went to do it as the game kicked off. Thought I’d imagined it.

If they’ve pulled it then I’m glad. Football, like the rest of society, has role to play with being proactive in tackling racism and intolerance, time to consider how better they/we can help better achieve that. Taking the knee was a powerful symbol at that time, lost that impact long ago.

I read that some English clubs have stopped doing it, not sure if that's the case here too.

Pretty sure both teams did do it. Think there was a delay to kick off for some reason.

Bournemouth have stopped it. They say taking the knee has run its course and no longer has any effect

I don't even notice it anymore. If i hadn't seen this thread I'd have been none the wiser. Definitely run its course.

Les Ferdinand summed it up perfectly.

It's worth remembering the origins of the gesture - the American Football players taking the knee during the Stars and Stripes in the uber-patriotic US was a controversial and brave move which refused to let the story of yet another (and another...) black guy shot by the polis out of the headlines.
The solidarity shown by sportsmen and woman the world over was heartening - but it HAD started to lose it's meaning some time ago with a sense of it having become all but compulsory - so I'm not sorry to see it come to an end.

You are right about action however, I am interested to see what the SPFL and the EPL are going to do next. Some of the recent abuse directed at players via social media is absolutely disgusting.

Govt and Social Media platforms are woefully slow sometimes. Twitter is a dark place to go sometimes.

My thoughts were purely on how effective and impactful this now was and whether there were now better ways to move this on.

Re an earlier posters comments re sectarianism its disappointing that SUTR and other Scottish anti-racism campaigns have been totally silent on this which is essentially racism towards folks of Irish Catholic heritage or folk perceived to be because of the clubs they support.
