Joseph Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 There have been some very grim and humiliating times to be a Newcastle fan, but that would top the lot. We shouldn't make any reference to it whatsoever. In a week's time it will be old news and look even more pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 "Grim" and "humiliating" celebrating our greatest ever monarch. I'm not even a monarchist but the anti-monarchy tripe over the last few days, is even worse than the pro-monarchist sycophantic rhetoric. Is no-one else on this forum middle of road? Happy enough to doff the cap to the old bird, whilst also understanding that an old school monarchy has no place in the modern world? I'm sure something with a nice balance could be done at SJP that's respectful without being over the top. I'm sure the far left morons will look at this as some sort of nod towards human rights abuses of the British Empire. Can't have anything normal these days without the virtue signalling brigade rock up to tell you what you didn't know about British history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longest lasting certainly but did she ride into battle ? Lead the country politically. We really need a Monarchy top trumps to sort this out. She'll get a respectful silence. No doubt a spontaneous rendition of God Save the Queen (bit late like) followed by one of God Save the King is all that's needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A two minute silence would be appropriate, but making people sing God save the King would too far for me. If individuals want to bring union jacks then they are welcome to. I have no strong feelings for the monarchy so will do my own thing as a mark of respect, the issue over the past days and coming weeks is that those who do care are getting outraged that others aren't showing "respect".

number37 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I think it's the way modern discourse has become. Extreme views one way or the other without any genuine desire to see compromise or a middle ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure my other half is starting to worry about how dreamy-eyed I get when I’m talking about Trippier. She just thinks he’s a bloody good full back.

I definitely think if you can't have a conversation about the royal family without mentioning something that happened a long time ago, you are almost certainly virtue signalling. The funny thing about history is that good AND bad things happened. It's a hard concept to grasp. Edited September 10, 2022 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are not advocating that we burn an effigy of her before kick off, they just don’t think we should be going out of our way to celebrate her. That’s the most middle of the road opinion possible. The more I think on it the more I want Wor Flags to steer well clear. It’s not worth the arse ache. It’ll be out of mind by the time we play Brentford. Leave that shite to Rangers.
