England fans not trusted to hold a minutes silence

[JTG]

pmsl @ someone who gives the impression they've done the Old Trafford tour criticising the commercialism of Manchester United though

 

[souljacker]

on of my personal bugbears related to this is if ask the man on the Peckham omnibus who the best player in the world was, ever...


the answer is Pele


Based on a film loop of a handful of goals/ swapping shirts with bobby moore/ other people saying he was the best/ ad nauseum


Me ? I dont know - m not old enough to remember but am old enough not to swallow the guff we are fed - he may well have been, but for me to say he was the best would be a little sad...

Or they say Garrincha, because they saw a documentary on BBC4.

I don't support ManU. I wasn't around 50 years ago. I couldn't give a crap about the whole thing. I'll respect their silences if they shut the fuck up for a minute for something i care about.

What a senseless thing to say

 

[sleaterkinney]

A minutes applause is a much beter idea because the twats get less chance to ruin it.

Why?

I take it you'll be silent for a minute for any cause I ask you to do so for?

it's a one minute silence at a football match to remember the 50th anniversary of a tragedy in which alot of footballers and those involved in football in other ways died, it was planned for an international game because four of them who died were England internationals, it's hardly leftfield or gratuatious mourning pornography. If England fans can sing for the cunt Queen and boast of ruling the fucking waves the cunts should be able to give a fuck for the Munich disaster.

I'd observe a minutes yawn.

There is only a point in a minute's silence if the fans respect whatever is being remembered. If they don't respect it, its fake, and there it has no significance. There shouldn't be a minutes silence at any ground other than old trafford, because its phoney to pretend that the tragedy means something at Chelsea, Liverpool or Newcastle.

well yes that is very ture, however there is the fact that England internationals died, the fact that the fuckwit little engerlanders can't get pas ttheir anti Man United perspective to atleast show respect for them as England internationals says quite a bit.

I mean if on the 50th anniversary of Hillsborough there is a minute silence pallend I'd like to think it wouldn't be called off for fear that non Liverpool fans wouldn't respect it.

It says a lot about a team when most of their support comes from overseas

Norman Whitside was the Shankill Skinhead not the fucking Salford one and the English leagues best ever player was from Belfast. If irish players are good enough for English clubs then surely so are the supporters.

 

[bluestreak]

Haha touche!

Gary Breen though...

 

[moose]

Now ciddy are begging for a minute's applause to cover up their scummy support

I was at Wembley for the first England game after Sir Alf Ramsey died. One person near me shouted "Come On England!" or something similar a few seconds into the minute's silence, people shouted at him to shut up, others round the ground heard the shouting and start booing, so the ref ended it after no more than 30 seconds. It only takes one idiot, or someone so drunk they don't realise why it's gone quiet, and the whole thing's ruined. If it can't be done for the England manager who won the World Cup, the chances are it won't be observed properly for anyone.

For my part, I don't think we should have so many silences but I would never be disrespectful enough not to keep my mouth shut for 60 seconds.
