Funny that as the monarchy is loved everywhere else round the world except the leftie british haters living in erm.....britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all SWFC is a religion to most of us, and Hillsborough is our church He could argue that we do still play in blue and white stripes! As for the tribute - we are owned by Thai folk and I'm sure Mr Chansiri has ambitions to get Wednesday's profile raised in Thailand as we progress, so would have expected it to be weird not doing anything.

matthefish2002 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Of course I would never break a mins silence as I would never want to draw attention to myself but think its cringeworthy if I am honest. Might stop in pub and get to ground 5 mins late on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnOwl55 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Well, let's just settle for it being a 'first' at Hillsborough - at least I don't recall a previous 2 mins silence for the death of a foreign monarch! I'm all for new experiences - they can be enriching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 51 minutes ago, Ellis Rimmer said: agreed. If people don't think it's weird I will ask them, did you ever think you would ever be in the situation where you were actively mourning the death of a king from a far away land that has no connection to you? I never really think about myself in that many fictitious scenarios, or if a slightly different situation does actually occur then I don't judge it's weirdness according to whether I've thought about it before.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I must have been 9 or 10 years of age when I was first introduced to an alien culture in the form of a film entitled 'The King and I' starring Deborah Kerr, Yul Brynner. In this film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, widowed Welsh mother Anna Loenowens (Deborah Kerr) becomes a governess and English tutor to the wives and many children of the stubborn King Mongkut of Siam (Yul Brynner). Anna and the king have a clash of personalities and culture as the English school maam works to teach the royal family about the English language, customs and etiquette, and rushes to prepare a party for a group of European diplomats who must change their opinions about the king. It was my first impression that I gained that the world was not a homogeneous place and that one had to adapt and compromise. Former (Siam) Thailand, has come a long way in the two centuries in which the film was portrayed and progress has delivered one of her sons to our rescue, not King Chulalonkhorn famous as a prince in 'The King and I' but Dejphon Chansiri son of TUS. We share his, and his families sadness at the loss of their Monarch and are honoured to share the moments of grief and remembrance at the forthcoming game.

wilfsmith Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I much prefer the tone and wording of the LCFC press release on their website; 'Once again, the Directors, management, players and staff of Leicester City Football Club extends its deepest sympathies to the Thai people during their period of mourning.'

Versailles is different as it's a huge historical place in the past 100-200 years. There's all them commemorate plates that they sell too to Americans usually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
