Guest firetotheworks Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah, grief has definitely become this sort of collective, extroverted show of introversion like, it's really false. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 There's something beautifully poignant about a minute's silence at a football match imo. Not anywhere near mawkish or attention seeking enough these days though. I've absolutely no doubt that if the death toll were less than 90, they'd be asking for another minute of applause.

nufcjb Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It's getting pathetic like. It's just inviting some cunt of an idiot to do something stupid during the anthem to attract unnecessary trouble and attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Don't know where this collective grief thing comes from; I noticed it first with Diana. One thing at international level with the eyes of nations on you; but to do it at Leyton Orient in some tinpot town or borough is just wringing it dry.

Superior Acuña Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I researched a bit the "merger" news and indeed it seems that the Portuguese League is pushing for it. However, I really can't see La Liga going for it for the reasons I mentioned. I'm really against the whole superleague concept, even if it would be class from a big club fan standpoint - since we would make the cut - it would totally suck for the small, storied clubs that would be sacked off as a result. We should work towards propping up the small clubs in big leagues and the smaller leagues in general. UEFA should be more socialist and spread the wealth. For starters, redirecting CL money to the EL so clubs playing in the European second tier could seize it as a chance to grow, would be something easy and with meaningful results. I'm a few pages behind but wouldn't the whole super league thing be shite for fans too. If I was a Celtic fan, I wouldn't be afford to go to Amsterdam, Copenhagen etc. every other week for away matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It would be a fantastic gesture if after the first few bars of La Marseillaise , every fan sang "Love, love, love" repeatedly in falsetto voices, just like the all time greatest, The Beatles did for the world in 1967. Remember all you need is love, love. Love is all you need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I get the sense there's just so little else to bring fans at the ground some pride about the club. By the 17th minute this season we've usually either been behind or down to 10 men So come the time, many must think yeah let's do that thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, I can't speak for what he thinks, but the statement itself " You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies." is pure racism - not "these Chinese people" or "some Chinese people" but "the Chinese". ------- Are we still clapping on the 17th every match like?
