Gestures for the the Queen before West Ham game

….if some want to pay their respects then fine, if some don’t want to pay their respects then fine.

No need for one to impact the other, no need for one to try and influence or call out the other.

Agree entirely mate.
Not a royalist myself , but I would observe the silence , and then not participate in the rest of it.
Won't protest or boo , as I have enough respect for some other blues desire to do so - that's their choice. Not fair for me to impact on them.

Kids soccer this morning, referee indicated pre game there would be a minutes silence. Our coach indicated they would remain in the dug out for the period.

Other team stood at the half way line for the duration.

12 year old boys. Absolutely loved how home spectators loudly besmirched them through the period of silence. Not a peep from the kids throughout it all ?

[Poor language removed] the Crown sprayed outside Goodison ?

I completely understand the sentiment given the provocation of the past week and a half, but spraying the stadium is not right. ?‍

Haha. Alright there Mr salty undies. It is a thread about people's thoughts/plans for the over the top enforced gestures towards the Monarchy. Just taking part in the thread.

I know mate just made me laugh. Enjoy

So what if some people boo tomorrow. They're entitled to their opinion surely? Doesn't bother me either way. I wouldn't boo personally but that's just my choice.

Anyway I just want 3 pints.

I just think of all the local lads and girls who’ve signed up and served the Crown in the forces and hope those who disrespect that institution are not hypocritical in the future.

Bit too soon?

 

[Blueclouds]

Will boo heavily.

Not sure on what I’ll do for the minutes silence and the anthem though.

Why boo? Why not respect other blues who want to respect it?

It's not just the forces either , I believe that the Police also sign up to serve the Crown.
Although much maligned , and massively under resourced during "austerity" , we would all be screwed without them

I am gonna have a minutes silence for those awful pies they sell

There was a fella called Crown, well knick named Crown who went all the aways in the 80s, think he still goes today, anyone remember him?
Hopefully it's not a reference to him
