Thank you, and respect! on 22:41 - Nov 17 with 4065 views | Brightonhoop | West London in finest place on earth shocker. ;-) In all seriousness it was very moving, fully expected it to be cancelled, well done to the security folks who made it possible. And well done to all involved. Two fingers up to the Brabarians. | | | |
Thank you, and respect! on 22:47 - Nov 17 with 4030 views | bosh67 | Tonight was very important and it was about solidarity between two european cousins. It was about people from two countries standing together against evil. It was very moving. There are no borders for decent people. We stand together. | |

Thank you, and respect! on 08:07 - Nov 18 with 3658 views | PlanetHonneywood | Watched it in a bar over here and the bloke commentating on TF1 was in tears and Lizarazu looked like he wasn't far behind. Thought we did it in that beautifully understated way that we do when an occasion calls for dignity and respect. The reception Diarra got coming on was particularly poignant and a nice touch. Well done us! [Post edited 18 Nov 2015 15:41]

Thank you, and respect! on 13:14 - Nov 19 with 3088 views | BlackCrowe | It was really well done on Tuesday night. Unfortunately the Premier League wants to get in on the act by getting the French anthem sung by all supporters before every match this weekend. Which is overkill and naff and purely self-serving we-are-the-best-at-grieving. Leave it as it is. | |

Agreed. It was great on Tuesday, principally because we were playing France and it was a fitting mark of respect/gesture of solidarity. They should leave it as a one-off. | |

Thank you, and respect! on 14:06 - Nov 19 with 2998 views | headhoops | I had the pleasure of being at the game and in and around the Stadium the fans behaved impeccably - the best minutes silence I can remember. I'm not a fan of the FA but on this occasion they got it exactly right. I met a few friends pre-match at Baker Street where sadly the Stone Island legends at the pub opposite still thought it appropriate to sing , no surrender. | |
