blueheaven Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Praise be! Word has reached us from none other than the king 'imself! By royal decree, the plebs can kick a ball around once more. Oh thank you sire! Thank you! You truly are a good, good, fine, good king who is definitely not racist. SPFL: "This week, as a mark of respect and in keeping with the period of National Mourning, home clubs may wish to hold a period of silence and/or play the National Anthem just ahead of kick-off, and players may wish to wear black armbands." Really, really looking forward to that bit happening. garydavidson, Havana Saint, dave mc and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havana Saint Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I am going to ask if they intend playing the anthem of Great Britain and Northern Ireland at McDiarmid Park before the game.. If so, I will definitely not be attending. I hope the black armband is entirely voluntary, pretty Fascist if not. stewartywhite and GMac 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Hearts game although I am sure the Club will be issuing dire warnings to the element who shamed themselves at the Euro tie on Thursday.

If 'Queen' Nicola popped her clogs I would shed not a tear but would respect any public ceremonies Seems like I may be in the minority on this forum though! garydavidson, blueheaven, Saline Saint and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Peat Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 In a democracy everyone is entitled to voice their opinion but I would strongly appeal to those with anti-monarchy sympathies to keep quiet on Saturday and respect the solemnity of the occasion. Any protesting or bad behaviour displayed will only reflect badly on our club. I was at Saints cup-tie with Queen of the South which was played at Muirton Park only three days after King George VI died in 1952. There was a two minute silence, all the players on both sides wore black arm bands and the pipe band played the hymn "Abide With Me" (not the National Anthem). Perhaps something similar on Saturday would be appropriate. SaintJet, Saline Saint, Indicator and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs website claims match date was changed after discussions with Polis, SPFL and St Johnstone. Saints simply report the date change without comment. Presumably we will get round to discussing team selection and hopes for the Ross County game at some point. I hope we win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
