Yeah , Saints have apologies to Hibs. Courier reported it so have to assume Nicolson got it from Davidson , so bad show if he wasn't kept in the loop.

Applause is probably the safer bet. The deeply offended can protest by simply refusing to clap and stick their fingers in their ears for 60 seconds.

blueheaven Posted September 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 I think a minute's applause is the right move. It means those who want to take part can do so, and those who don't want to take part don't feel forced to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I will definitely not be attending. I hope the black armband is entirely voluntary, pretty Fascist if not.

The Royal family did not decree the postponement of last week's games but left it to the respective authorities. 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!

Someone has died, whether you agree with their place in society or not. As someone has said before me people of a certain vintage were raised to show respect. For the record I'm not a Royalist but the Queen meant a lot to many people in this country and she discharged her duties with remarkable integrity.

I’m far from a royalist but I’m not anti royal either. It’s not a gig I would want. End of the day, she was someone’s grandmother, great grandmother etc. It’s a human decency thing.

More likely they don't want to be embarrassed by the actions of a minority. I think both motivations are probably true. It reduces the likelihood of booing as you say, and it also allows people to quietly not take part if that's their choice. It's the best decision for everyone. We'll never know now, but I'd be fairly surprised if there was much disruption to a minute's silence at McDiarmid Park. Personally I'm against the concept of the monarchy but wouldn't have disrupted a minute's silence, and I suspect most other anti-monarchists within the Saints crowd are the same. 21 minutes ago, SaintJet said: As someone has said before me people of a certain vintage were raised to show respect. Sorry but I really find this "people of a certain vintage" stuff to be patronising rubbish. There are many, many examples of older generations behaving with anything but respect.

If you feel it's patronising that's on you. I agree there are plenty older people who let themselves down too. Your clouding the issue I'm afraid. Why don't we move on; this is the Ross game thread and I'm looking forward to the game. south inch and john.w 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that our FM was actually elected by the people, unlike a mere member of the royal family who is only in their position through luck of a birth lottery, I'd say it's arguably both. But then I'm juvenile too so what do I know. 33 minutes ago, SaintJet said: If you feel it's patronising that's on you. I agree there are plenty older people who let themselves down too.

I think the issue is pretty cloud-free: older generations who brought hooliganism and racism to football are in no position to lecture younger generations about how to behave respectfully at the match ... a match that I am also looking forward to. dave mc and garydavidson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
