It's ancient.
I told the missus people could see though our curtains and she wouldn't bloody believe me!! I am off to show her this right now!!Says the man who's up at 3.59 am for his third piss of the night
I wouldn't bother, she's probably already seen it though the curtains :emoji_kissing_closed_eyes:I told the missus people could see though our curtains and she wouldn't bloody believe me!! I am off to show her this right now!!
JD isn't really my cup of tea and I know he's on some local radio station in Coventry-but when he is not there and you have yesterday's farce maybe it shows he is good at what he does?I said at the time on the match thread I assumed it was a scripting issue, and that it was likely a case that we have a script for such tragedies / events and the 'silence' or 'appause' is more a 'insert appropriate here' and we didn't.
Having a minutes silence with applause is a difficult feat by anyone's standards

Bit harsh on JD as he wasn't even at the game yesterday as he's in Dubai

Maybe, yesterday though his replacement couldn't even do that!You mean he's good at reading off a clip board? Because that's all he does, isnt it?

Yeah lets-bloke with the clipboard out!:emoji_grin:I did argue that he did. If he didn't, he wouldn't have read out both applause and silence together
I know the lad who stands in and it must be a daunting job, even if there are only a few thousand fans there. I mean, imagine thousands listening out for and then pointing out errors! Let's not hold it against him.
The Spanish people clapped as a mark of respect for the victims - as Harry says it saves the embarrassment of the guy screaming PUSB as he enters the vomitry on one warm pint
The silence is there for personal contemplation - its different for everyone , at work they sound the fire alarm and everything stops - the applause in the stadium for me shows one cause for thought - standing together
Sadly these misguided fools will continue as the last dregs are put down in Syria but i was told a joke the other day which was funny but in a way might be some of the future i hope not - aplogies if it offends anyone !
So there's a UK Coast Guard moseying between Dover and France and happen upon a small boat with 4 infidels in it, they stop them and ask what they're doing, "We're invading England" The Coast Guard crew burst into laughter, "what just the 4 of you LOL" "No we've already got a million in there, we're the last four".....
No I just changed it from the M word so people wouldn't think I was tarnishing them all - rather ironic as I think you could be rightAm I being thick? Infidels are non-Muslims.

15-25% you say. Seems legitSilence. Applause. Light a candle. Change your Facebook profile to the latest country that's been attacked. Sing Imagine.
It's all a load of bollocks designed to make people feel better about doing nothing and failing to acknowledge the source of the problem.
Not all Muslims are extremists. Only 15-25 percent of them. That's a lot of extremists.
My own view, is we now do it so much it loses its impact, its just another thing where the significance gets lost amidst the order and routine. Does it make people feel better? Probably not, really. What it does is normalise memorialising events, that then means it doesn't raise any awareness whatsoever as it just becomes another part of a pre-match routine.Surely a minute out of your day clapping, in silence, or one after the other, or whatever you choose to do as an individual is not too much to ask is it? a few moments taken to show a rejection of terrorism, solidarity with communities subject to it, to show compassion with those injured or killed? It cost nothing, it has taken some longer to post on this thread.
It isn't a solution, its not meant to be. Its a public show of strength/will against a particular threat but also in a general sense against any similar kind of threat that blights the lives of any nationality colour or creed. Does it make people feel better? yes. Does it help the victims? hopefully in some small way. Does it correct wrongs or root causes? No but surely it raises awareness in some way - its a start. Taking part is voluntary but in large gatherings that it happens cannot be ignored by anyone attending. I cannot believe ignoring all events is a better course of action.
To restrict it to past servants/supporters of the club I feel is too narrow. The club is part of greater and many communities it is not the community. To restrict in such a way is actually at odds with what the club and football authorities preach in terms of community, values etc.
No we don't cover all atrocities or all natural events, don't demonstrate we care about other deaths on the planet (that isn't proof that we do or do not), but to never demonstrate a coming together for a at least a few of the many events would worry me far more, would make me question the basics of civilisation far more. Whether the script got muddled or not is not really the point. How it is done is not really important. The fact that it takes place at all is
just my opinion

66% of what? I'm not getting deeper into this argument tbf. If you want to believe that than crack onThe exact figure depends on how you define "extremist". The figure I quoted is the most favorable interpretation. In fact 66% of British Muslims say they would not report a suspected terrorist to the police. 52% say that all homosexuals should be incarcerated. These figures come from surveys undertaken by Pew research and C4. The 15-25% refers to the more extreme end of extremism. You might want to do some research.

OK, what I meant was, who conducted the survey? What was the sample size?66% of British Muslims. I choose to believe what reputable survey organizations have reported. You are free to bury your head in the sand.
