I’d like that kinda thing as a universal, as the playing of the National Anthem before all sporting events in the U.S. is befuddling. I understand the concern here, but would it be any worse than a minute of silence (that will likely be rudely interrupted)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The best way forward is to not bother with the silence or GSTQ and just go with the black armbands. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minutes silences are usually well respected by fans in Scotland, with there being the obvious exceptions through Glasgow. Minutes silence and black arm bands is more than enough imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Previous weeks games got cancelled out of a sign of respect so that'll do it for me when it comes to pandering to this nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 It would be good if we just politely observed a minute's silence. For the likes of the clowns that polluted the club's social media, if they want to protest so much, just go into your work on the day that the country has given you off. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heid_The_Baw Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Playing GSTK will be met by my back being turned to the pitch. However, a minutes silence CAN also double as a minutes quiet protest..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I’d rather they didn’t do a minutes silence after seeing what happened at Tynecastle the other night. It just turns into a toxic atmosphere with fans turning on each other. If we need to do something (if postponing Saturdays game wasn’t enough) then do a minutes applause. That way people who don’t want to join in can do so without upsetting anyone. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 I won’t boo or make a scene, I will just stay downstairs until the game kicks off. I’ll go for a pish or something whilst whatever happens happens. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to my work on Monday and using the day off at a later date.

Broken Algorithms Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The club should do the sensible thing and not bother their arse with a minute silence. Nobody can boo that way and we avoid the over the top, hysterical grief which will have been thrust down our throats for over a week. Personally, I'd not bother with booing if they did play the anthem. Much like HS, I'd probably go wait in the pie queue instead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 It would be a lot better for the club to avoid another potential bad story by playing gstk or have a minutes silence. I don't care enough either way to boo or sing if it plays and I will observe a minutes silence if it happens but just leave it all out and we don't have the problem of some people being vocal against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavyDavy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 What a bunch of sad, bitter and twisted little p***ks on here. Have the minutes silence and keep your mouth shut for 1 minute. It's not difficult unless you're a 5 year old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the minutes silence and keep your mouth shut for 1 minute. It's not difficult unless you're a 5 year old. Whilst on an individual level I agree with you (well, your second sentence), a minute's silence is inviting trouble. There's clearly a significant element of the public at large that isn't buying all this reverence for the royal family, and it'd be asking for trouble to attempt a minute's silence in as emotive an environment as a football ground. For what it's worth, I think there's a world of difference between showing a minute of respect for a dead woman, and playing/singing a song extolling the virtues of a living, unelected head of state. I can't see a situation where I'd ever disrupt a minute's silence, but I'd have serious issues with God Save The King. It's a situation the Rovers don't need to get themselves involved with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally and I'm sure I'm not the only one I couldn't give a solitary f**k that an old woman who lived a full life and given endless opportunities we can only dream off died in her warm bed surrounded by family but each to their own. As for this "national anthem" get it in the fucking sea it has no relevance to the match in question and would only be played to try and appease the Helen Lovejoy/staunch flag shagger types. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
