Gestures for the the Queen before West Ham game

People have different opinions and different opinions are allowed. People get way too annoyed that someone thinks differently to them. It's not a big deal.

I can sort of get people not liking the anthem being played. It's not normal at a club football match. But I find booing a minute's silence a pretty strange thing to do, and a bit disrespectful when you know that many of your fellow supporters will be annoyed by your behaviour. It's not hard to keep quiet for 60 seconds. We all do it for hours on end at times in our every day lives.

They should have stayed with the minutes silence. No need for a anthem.

Did people in India live forever before the British arrived?

Of course not? But to deny that Britain had a devastating effect across the world through colonialism is just severe British brain rot. Stop trying to put a 'but' on British murders. Own it.

The National Anthem bit may be a step too far for many mate.

Someone pointed out to me that the anthem changes to 'king' now. I was genuinely flabbergasted at something that is so obvious.

Out of respect of England fans booing national anthems we should boo the national anthem on Sunday.

This is starting to look a bit silly from an outsiders point of view.

I'm not, I was merely questioning the logic of attributing every death from "deprivation" over the course of 150 years to the British. Or, to fully understand the impact, what was the rate in the preceding 150 years?

Can't we sing 'allez les blues' instead

It's a national anthem

A lot of Irish do the same though when it comes to what the ira done

Interested to know how you drown out noise made during silence?

I’d suggest contacting BT Sport ?

because there is a difference in an army created to fight an occupying force, and one that just decided they own places because they are powerful and entitled.

Think Ireland helped in the murdering also
In 1840 the British Army contained 47,394 men from England, 13,388 from Scotland and 39,193 from Ireland

….shouldn’t even be options. Some might feel differently to others but we should all respect and tolerate the situation.

I think people generally do respect or tolerate a minutes silence and a black armband.

The issue is when you start adding stuff to it. A national anthem, applause at 70 minutes, why?

Respecting the dead is fine. Making out that their death is more important than other peoples and that these people are a bit more special than the rest of us is a bit wrong.
