Get it done at the same speed at which we sing the Blaydon Races and it’ll thankfully be done in 3.4 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying in the other thread, this seems overkill to me. A minutes silence would be fine. Being asked to serenade Charles and then clap at 70 minutes? No thanks. Let folk mourn on Monday if that's what they want to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Surely it’s understandable why people get uncomfortable with what can feel like enforced patriotism? I think a minutes silence is perfectly adequate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapo Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 If you cunts were really about showing respect you’d be at home crying into your platinum jubilee pillow sets and not enjoying yourselves at a commoners football match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 There’s something genuinely moving about a minute’s silence, properly observed. 50,000 people not making a peep of noise. The vast, vast majority will respect it irrespective of their personal political position. And that should be enough, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's imploring your "god" to safeguard the welfare of your, sole, monarch. If you don't actually have a god it's an irrelevant chant. The monarch bit is another matter.

There'll be plenty in SJP tomorrow who are gutted she's dead and happy we're (the club) putting on a tribute. Try putting yourselves in WF's shoes. They'll have agonised over getting the balance right, I'm sure, but it's no easy task. They can win by letting the club do their tribute which more than enough to appease people and not get involved. Like I said in my earlier post if something so simple is agonised over then usually that’s a sign to do nothing and leave to others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
