The nation in general has to be honest, starting with the embarrassment that was the aftermath of Diana pegging it.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I've been saying it for a while on here, but you normally get shouted down. Armistice day was the biggy that everyone got their knickers in a twist over. Absolutely it should be remembered, and that's why there's a national 2 minutes silence, but it doesn't need to be replicated at sporting grounds all over the country.

"Diana pegging it"?

No wonder Dodi looked uncomfortable when sitting.

That's the point though.

All this grief by proxy is all about "me me". Look at me grieving and caring for someone with whom I had next to no connection.

I don't know if there's any problem with respecting people's lives and battles with adversity. It also brings the grounds together, and crosses those club rivalry lines in condolence. It makes supporters remember those sitting on opposite ends are human, and just like you. Not villians...

Maybe I'm on the off, but I find it beautiful.

It's just for self appreciation moments.. nobody really gives a genuine f*ck.

Just like Christmas.. nobody gives a f*ck, they just want a piss up.

The whole world is full of faux outrage..

either that or we're a world full of autistics.. another made up concept.

The world has genuinely gone insane.

No it's about respect mate.If people can't genuinely show grief and respect,the world if fcked, trouble is if you show people you care they think your an attention seeker FFS.I respect your opinion,but I have mine,and I won't change that to conform with what considered the norm in this discussion.I loves a mass debate!

People love it, a bit of grief, I have a relative who loves a good funeral, loves buying a new hat for them. It's the eastenders soap opera culture. Lives are so sad they delight in the grief.

My suggestion is that all games start with a minutes applause for every cnt that has died that week.

Death is an awful thing, but it's very common.
I think about it every day.
I think we all do.

I don't see how it's attention seeking to clap at a specified time along with tens of thousands of other people to show some respect/support to someone who has died or someone going through a tough time.

It may be a little gesture but I imagine it goes a long way if it's your family member who has died.

I don't go to a stadium to pay my respects to any of thousands . . . millions of dying/dead causes . . . .I go to a football match . . . to watch a game of football !!!
I pay my respects in my own time and place.
