“I remember going to school afterwards and telling everyone how Waddle had banged that freekick in.” We chatted to big #SWFC fan, nihS, a Godfather of Sheffield’s grime scene, about his love for the Owls, the forming of Owls Against Racists and more. thestar.co.uk/sport/football… 🦉

Have Millwall fans shamed football or just themselves? This is exactly why we set up Owls Against Racists.... theguardian.com/football/blog/…

OAR welcome the appointment of Darren Moore as manager at our troubled club. He has a difficult task ahead of him to keep us up. We abhor some of the racist attitudes and tropes that this appointment has brought out from a small minority of Wednesday-ites.

Some questions: 1. Are you and 'pals' Israeli owls? 2. If not, why unfurl the Israeli flag? 3. Why unfurl a specific flag whilst 'taking the knee' occurs? 4. Do you believe that flags convey messages? 5. If so what message do you believe unfurling he Israeli flag conveys?

OAR would support any Wednesday-ites who have suffered discrimination in any form. Next question Would your mate support a Wednesday fan of Palestinian descent flying the Palestinian flag alongside the Israeli flag in solidarity with the oppression of the Palestinian people?

I am just being very mindful that flags send messages. And some replies have pointed out they can be divisive. I have no objections to the Israeli flag per se, but I do have objections to the oppression served up by the Israeli government who would use that flag as their symbol.

Possibly. But, the Palestinian government aren't subjugating a whole other group of people under their control to live in intolerable inhumane conditions.

Which to me seems strange: Criticising a government equates with being 'anti' a whole section of people. So, if you criticise the US government you are automatically 'anti' all Americans? Bit much?

Oh dear. You try and have an adult conversation about stuff and this is the eventual come back. I shall just point you at our initial statement and if that is a problem for you then I suggest YOU are the problem. Goodbye.

The abuse Jon Reverend&TheMakers has been getting here by supposed “Wednesdayites” is shocking and intolerable. If you don’t agree with his views fine, but don’t come out with threats. He would debate you and demolish you. Every time. We stand by Jon and all Owls Against Racists

This has been some journey. As a nation, we were united in a belief that we can achieve something special after the hardest of years. It wasn't meant to be, but this team is just getting started. They will continue to make you proud, both on and off the pitch.

These lads are English heroes and it sickens OAR that they have been hit with vile racist abuse from so called 'England ' fans after last nights torture. We abhor this assault on OUR players. They will come back stronger.... Marcus Rashford Jadon Sancho Bukayo Saka
